BURMEISTER, Johnie Russell

(Age 88)

Passed away November 17, 2008 in Spokane. Johnie was born October 5, 1920 in Westminister, BC, Canada. His parents, Jack and Irene Burmeister moved their family of seven daughters and two sons to Kellogg, Idaho in 1929. Johnie started working at an early age in the family dairy products business. He met his wife, Alice, while working on a dairy farm near Medimont, Idaho; they were married on December. 30, 1941. Their life was interrupted for three years when WWII took Johnie to North Africa and Italy. Upon returning from the war he and his family lived and worked on a farm near Cataldo, Idaho. In 1948 they bought a country store in Medimont, Idaho. After spending a few years running the store they sold it and moved to Kellogg where Johnie went to work in the Bunker Hill Mine. He would spend the next 25 years as a miner in the Kellogg area. The work was hard and dangerous, but he never complained and seemed to enjoy the adventures of mining.

While Johnie continued to work in the mines, they also owned two more country stores in the Coeur d' Alene valley. The first one was located at Rose Lake, then in the 70's they purchased the Valley Mart near Medimont. As the mining industry was winding down in the late 70's Johnie and Alice focused on the store for a few more years. In 1979 they sold the Valley Mart and tried retirement for a short time. It wasn't long before they were back in business for themselves. This time they planted thousands of trees on their acreage near Medimont. For the next several years they worked hard nurturing landscape and Christmas trees on the BLACKCAT TREE FARM. The "choose and cut" tree farm was a great success. People from all around came to visit them and cut their Christmas tree each year. Finally, retirement came when they sold the farm in 1998 and moved to Sprague, Washington, to be near their daughter, Kathy. Johnie and Alice worked hard side by side their entire life to insure that their children would be able to achieve their goals and have a better life. Johnie was kind and helpful to everyone he met.

Johnie was preceded in death by his wife and constant companion, Alice; his sisters, June, Vera, Margaret, Irma, and Dulcie. He is survived by his children: Kathy (Richard) Bluhm, Sprague, Washington, Denny (Susan) Burmeister, Chewelah, Washington, Christy (David) Smith, Newman Lake, Washington, Numerous grandchildren, great-grand -children and one great-great-grandchild. Onebrother, Harry (Donna) Burmeister, Smelterville, Idaho; Sisters: Grace Tregoning, Ravenswood, West Virginia and Delores Rowland, Post Falls, Idaho.

A Graveside service will be held at Spokane Memorial Gardens on Saturday November 22, 2008 at 10:00 AM. A Memorial Open House at the Medimont Grange in honor of both Johnie and Alice will be held on Saturday November 29, 2008 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM in Medimont, Idaho. DANEKAS FUNERAL HOME-RITZVILLE is handling arrangements. Memorial contributions are suggested to Medimont Grange, 31146 S. Hwy 3, Medimont,ID 83842

When her daughters were born in 1973 and 1976, she assumed her favorite role of loving mother. Eileen was always the anchor of the family, constantly worrying about everyone else's feelings and problems and never mentioning her own. When her younger daughter entered junior high, she earned an associates degree at Boulder Valley Technical Education Center and reentered the workforce as the bookkeeper at Olde World Lighting in Boulder and was also a tax analyst on the side.

Eileen and her husband retired in 1999 and moved to Coeur d'Alene to enjoy the relaxed lifestyle and a little boating. She also enjoyed dancing, knitting, playing on-line poker, solving crossword puzzles, and hosting deck parties for her friends and family. She loved reading mysteries and once won, with her sister, the $25,000 grand prize for solving the "Who Killed the Robins Family" mystery novel contest. Her favorite pastime was spoiling her new grandson, Joshua Pontefract. Other survivors include her husband; two daughters, Susan Pontefract and Kathleen Hoffman of Portland, Oregon; a sister, Roberta Martine of Hays, Kansas; and a brother, Lawrence P. Martine of Los Angeles.

A memorial gathering will be held from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m., Monday, November 24, 2008 at Yates Funeral Home, Coeur d'Alene Chapel.

Donations in Eileen's memory may be made to Hospice of North Idaho: 9493 Government Way, Hayden, Idaho 83835. Her wish was to pass on this message: "If you have loved ones who smoke and you want them to stop, you have my permission to break their fingers."

YATES FUNERAL HOME, COEUR D'ALENE CHAPEL, is entrusted with the care of final arrangements. Please visit Eileen's online memorial and sign her guestbook at www.yatesfuneralhomes.com
