LaVell Missman, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, passed away suddenly on April 16, 2012 at the age of 84, surrounded by her family after suffering a stroke.
LaVell was born in Boise on February 26, 1928, to Edward R. and Lillie Barker. She attended the old Franklin School from elementary through high school. In 1946 LaVell married Gene Missman. They built their home in Boise's north end, where they raised their three daughters.
LaVell cherished every memory of time she spent with her mother, Lillie. LaVell wrote in her journal, "She gave me love, as well as life, so whatever goodness I may bring to earth, began with the gift of my Mother's heart."
LaVell gave that same kind of unconditional love to her daughters and grandchildren. Her grandchildren loved to help ‘Grandma.' She had unending patience with them. Not worried about flour on the floor (and walls), they made decorated cookies, did sewing projects, colored pictures, and listened to stories. . .memories they will cherish forever.
LaVell shared 65 years of love and friendship with Gene; she will forever be his "Sweetie Pie". She was "Sis" to her three brothers whom she loved deeply. Throughout her life she remained close with her many cousins and sisters-in-law, Hellen and Pat. She was exceptionally kind and generous; she was the perfect role model, friend and confidant. Anyone who knew her was touched by her love.
She was a homemaker and wonderful cook. Friends and relatives looked forward to receiving one of her gift packages filled with delicious homemade cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip cookies or banana bread. She also enjoyed canning, sewing and reading.
Gene and LaVell built their cabin in Lowman where the family spent most weekends enjoying the river, mountains, and being together.
LaVell loved gardening and grew gorgeous flowers. She took great pleasure in providing beauty for others to enjoy. As a member of Boise Friends Church, she created stunning floral arrangements for the congregation. She also taught Sunday school and headed the Cradle Roll Department. Her faith and devotion to God remained strong throughout her life with daily bible reading and prayer.
LaVell is survived by her husband, Gene; daughters, Jeanie Largen (William), of Rainier, WA, Jannis Cloud, of Nampa, and Judy Bowns (Dennis), of Boise; her grandchildren: Jodie Moon, Kevin (Diana) Cloud, Ryan Cloud, Jeremy (Kim) Cloud, Keri Cloud, Amber Clark and Derek Clark; great-grandchildren: Haden, Erika, Jarrod, Jessica, Natalie, Delainey, Star, Hunter, Andi and Rachel. her brothers, Jim (Hellen), Joe (Patricia), and Ed (Marie) Barker; numerous nieces and nephews; and her friend of 78 years, whom she considered a sister, Phyllis Bertram.
A celebration of LaVell's life will be held at a later date.
If desired, memorial donations may be made to LaVell's favorite charity, the Boise Rescue Mission Ministry Center, 308 S. 24th St., Boise 83702.
