Russell Grant Boehme died Dec. 1, 2012, at the age of 90 in Montpelier, Idaho.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Fredrick William Boehme and Etta May Tueller, six of his nine siblings, his wife Elma Tonks and his daughter Sandra.
He was born in Geneva, Idaho, on Aug. 2, 1922, and was married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on Nov. 14, 1945.
He has seven surviving children, Brent Russell (Sandra), Jerry Wayne (Karen), Sheryl, Garth Tonks (Denise), Grant William (Trudy), Randy Glen (Laurie) and Janel. He has 28 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren with one on the way.
He grew up on his father's farm in Geneva, graduated from Montpelier High School and followed his grandfather and father into farming. His grandfather was one of the first settlers of the Geneva Valley and pioneered many of the agricultural practices still in use today.
In 1950, Russell was called to be the bishop of the Geneva Ward at the young age of 27. He served there for six years, during which time the Geneva meetinghouse was expanded.

He continued his church service with the stake Sunday School and as a stake missionary with his wife as his companion. He also served as president of the Bear Lake Memorial Nursing Home Branch.
Russell and his wife hosted 11 Native American and foreign exchange students over the years in addition to raising their own children. Russell loved his family, his farm, his Heavenly Father and serving others.
Funeral services will be held at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012, in the Geneva Ward chapel in Geneva, Idaho.
