Vernon Jake Wageman, an 83-year-old resident of Heyburn, died Tuesday, March 25, 2008, at Parke View Care and Rehabilitation Center in Burley.
He was born Oct. 22, 1924, in Canfield, N.D., the son of Christ and Martha (Dockter) Wageman. When he was 17, he and his family moved to Rupert, where Vern completed his education, graduating from Rupert High School.
He was a veteran of World War II, having served our country in the United States Army.
He married Betty Rose Amen on Sept. 18, 1948, in Elko, Nev. Together, they raised five children. She passed away on Nov. 28, 1977, from cancer. Vern worked and retired from the J.R. Simplot Company. He loved his family and enjoyed camping, his family and his little dogs. Yard work was his passion! He loved springtime when he could begin the outdoor work he loved. Dad, whenever we plant a flower, we will remember you.
Survivors include his children, Karen (Randy) Higley of Heyburn, Don (Cathy) Wageman of Nampa, Dale (Junko) Wageman of Henderson, Nev., and Karla (Dwight) Higley of Heyburn; 12 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and his siblings, Bessie Grace of Twin Falls, Violet (Jerry) Amen of Rupert, Christ Wageman Jr. of Jerome and Dewayne (Georgia) Wageman of Burley.
