Agnes May Schwarzhoff
Agnes May Schwarzhoff
Agnes was born January 9, 1919, in Boise, Idaho, to Charles Joseph and Mary Etta Moss Foster in a little house in Boise at the old Baxter’s Foundry. She was raised and educated in Boise. She attended school at Franklin School from grades 1 through 12. She spent a considerable amount of time with her grandparents in Murphy, Idaho during these years.
She married Jerry Schwarzhoff on July 3, 1938, and together they lived in Boise, Gooding, Las Vegas and Coeur d’Alene. She was a homemaker but very much enjoyed time as a wedding hostess at the Wright Community Congregational Church and in Las Vegas at the Little Chapel of the West.
She enjoyed dancing and playing cards with friends and family. Agnes was a member of the Kings Daughters and Wright Community Congregational Church. While raising their two sons, she spent many weekends at Lowman, camping and fishing. One time she chased a bear away from their cabin with a fry pan while Jerry and the boys were out fishing. She and Jerry spent time in their RV camping and spending winters in Arizona and other southern areas. She liked to get friends and family together and go to the beautiful hills of Idaho and camp, fish and play cards at night (sometimes keeping the whole campground awake until all hours). She loved the many cruises they took to the Caribbean.
She is survived by her husband, Jerry; sons, Chris (Lois) Schwarzhoff of Boise, Dale (Annie) Schwarzhoff of Napa, CA; grandchildren, Bob, Jay (Carolyn), Loren (Karen), Lynn (Mark Hamilton), Scott (Kim), and Kelly (Amanda) Schwarzhoff; and great-grandchildren, Halle, Mia, Will, Claire and Dean Schwarzhoff. She was preceded in death by her parents and four brothers (Fred, Henry, Ed and Jim).
