Madeline Mickelsen Douglas, 95-year-old long-time resident of Hazelton, entered into eternal rest Thursday, June 19, 2003, at Stoney Creek Assisted Living Center, where she had been a resident for several weeks.
She was the seventh of eight children born to Neils Henry and Eliza Smith Mickelsen in Bancroft, Idaho, on July 26, 1907. She graduated from Bancroft High School in 1925, then attended Brigham Young College for one year and then had to return to her parents home in Hazelton to care for her ailing Mother. This is where she met her future husband M.W. "Rusty" Douglas. They were married November 19, 1929, in Gooding, Idaho. Mom and Dad became school bus contractors for the Valley School District in 1956. In 1958, they purchased what is now known as Douglas Service. Mom worked at the station well into her eighties. She was always active in the LDS Church and the Senior Center in Eden. She loved to quilt and made many beautiful quilts for her beloved family and friends.
She is survived by her children, J.L. (Joyce) Douglas of Hazelton, Shirley (Ralph) Koontz of Gleneden, Oregon, Murline K. Denton of Hazelton, Gail Quinn of Twin Falls, and Kermit (Kay) Douglas of Hazelton; 10 grandkids, 19 great-grandkids, 3 step grandkids, 4 step great-grandkids, and 3 great-great-grandkids. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, 2 infant sons, 4 brothers and 3 sisters, 1 granddaughter, and 1 great-grandson.
Madeline's family wishes to extend a very special thanks to Chuck and Elaine Hansen and the staff at Stoney Creek Assisted Living Center for all they did to make mom's last few weeks easier for her and the family, also Hospice Vision's who did an excellent job keeping mom comfortable the last few days and to Linda Johnson for all she has done for mom. We also want to thank her good and caring friends for all they have done to make her life better for her. God Bless you all.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, June 24, 2003, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Chapel in Hazelton, with Bishop Mike Waite, officiating. Burial will be in the Hazelton Cemetery. Friends may call on Tuesday from 9 to 10:45 a.m. at the church prior to the funeral. Arrangements are under the direction of Payne Mortuary in Burley. Donations in her name may be made to the Silver and Gold Senior Center, 210 E. Wilson, Eden, ID, or may be left with the staff of Payne Mortuary during the viewing.
