Edith Sargent
Edith was born December 1, 1908, in Everett, Washington.
When she was 10 days old she was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Wasley and
.
raised by them at their ranch in Pateros
,
Washington.
She had many happy memories of those days - many involving her love of horses.
One very fond memory was when she was a member of The Ada County Possettes and
rode in the Snake River Stampede. Her work ethic learned at the ranch followed
her all her life.
She marr
i
ed Albert Sargent and they would reside in Centralia and
Chehalis
,
Washington. They had s
i
x
children. After Albert's death Edith moved to Idaho with her children and was
one of the pioneers
i
n the settling of Garden City, Idaho
.
She was a cook at numerous restaurants in Boise and Garden City.
She was a wonderful cook. One special treat loved by a
l
l
was her famous pasties which she prepared in huge amounts insuring plenty for
everyone.
She maintained her home in Garde
n
Ci
t
y
for over 40 years until progress
,
in
the form of the Orchard Street extension
,
forced
her to move. She was fortunate enough to locate to Samaritan Village Apartments
where she resided for 16 years. She would later move to Samaritan Village and
Healthcare nursing facility.
Edith was preceded in death by her children: Charles and his
wife Florence; Doris and her husband John Goode
;
Laura
Thompson; and Kathy and her husband James McLaughlin.
She is survived by two daughters, Emma Lou Williams (Ed) and
Patty Corpus (Rey). She is also survived by 18 grandchildren and numerous
great-grandchildren.
The family will always remember the special care and love she
received from the wonderful staff at Boise Samaritan
.
Thank
you all
