Heyburn
Lucille Peters, an 84 year-old resident of Heyburn, died Wednesday, June 2, 2010, at the Minidoka Memorial Hospital in Rupert, after a battle with cancer.
She was born on Aug. 20, 1925, in Bradeyville, Missouri, the daughter of H.E. and Dora Davis Todd. Lucille (as she is known to most out west) moved to Idaho in 1949, with her husband, John Combs, Jr. and their two sons, Leonard and Delbert. She worked at various locations through-out the Northwest, including Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, and worked mostly in the potato industry. Lucille finally decided to call Idaho home in 1957, and moved to Paul.
Lucille married Stanley Peters on Feb. 29, 1964. Lucille and Stanley moved to Heyburn, where she made a home and many friends while living her life to the fullest in God’s grace.
Lucille is survived by her husband, Stanley Peters; three sons, Leonard (Charlotte) Combs of Olympia, Washington, Delbert Combs of Victor, Montana, and Mike Peters of Tuscon, Arizona; one sister, Edna Byers of Heyburn; five grandchildren, Kristine, Jason, Bobby Joe, Mikkie, and Zachary; and two great-grandchildren, Quade and Taelyn Rose. They all would visit at every opportunity and enjoyed the family “get-together’s” and partaking of some home cooking. She was an excellent cook.
Lucille enjoyed church, gardening, sightseeing and visiting friends and family. She became very active in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Heyburn, where she made many friends and enjoyed various activities sponsored by the Church and brethren. Of life’s sweet rewards, she enjoyed the grandchildren the most. They always brought a smile to her face and joy into her heart. She will be missed by many.
The family expresses their sincere appreciation to Dr. A. Lane Hansen and staff, Minidoka Home Health and Hospice, and the nursing staff at the Minidoka Memorial Hospital for the outstanding care given to Lucille.
Lucille’s life will be celebrated at a memorial service to be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 9, at the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 1250 21st St., in Heyburn, with Pastor Jerry Lankford officiating. Urn placement will follow at the Gem Memorial Gardens.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Rasmussen Funeral Home of Burley.
