Frances Ormond Buhler (90), of Filer, Idaho, passed away in her home on Saturday November 22, 2014.

She was born the 5th child of Francis and Delia Ormond on September 1, 1924 in Pocatello, Idaho. Frances was raised to value family and to understand sacrifice and responsibility.

Frances eloped and married her sweetheart, Orson Jay Buhler, on September 26, 1941 after their very first date. They were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City, LDS temple. They enjoyed 71 wonderful years of marriage together here on earth.

She and Jay spend their early years in the Montpelier area of Idaho while Jay worked for the railroad, taught school, and raised sheep, all with Frances by his side. They raised five children while moving several times between Idaho and Oregon before finally settling in Twin Falls. They built their dream home with the help of their two sons just outside of Filer in 1975 where they both spent the rest of their lives.

In her lifetime Frances was a constant student, always learning about and trying new things. The latest and greatest inventions in technology were some of her favorite things. Sewing, using the computer, and taking photos with her camera everywhere she could, were some of her greatest joys.

Frances also had a passion for travel which took her many places including China, Israel, Switzerland, and Egypt.

Family was important to her and she was so proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and supported and encouraged them in any way she could.

Frances was a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many church callings over the years. She loved her church and her Heavenly Father and is known for her vast library of LDS books, magazines, videos, historical articles, and other keepsakes she collected within her home.

Frances was preceded in death by her father and mother, Francis and Delia Ormond; her brother, Newman Ormond; sisters, Elsie Fowler, Georgia Matthews and Clover Powell; daughter, Elaine Joy Holmes; sons, Dennis and Twayne Buhler; and her beloved husband, Jay.

She is survived by her sisters: Inis (Bill) Turner, of Culver City, CA, Iris Hansen, of Meridian, ID, and Ruth (Ralph) Olsen, of Pocatello, ID; two daughters: Linda Dorgan, of Twin Falls, Ellen (Jim) Fischer, of Anthem, AZ; daughter-in-law, Jeanine Buhler, of Filer; as well as her many, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will always hold a special place for her in their hearts.

The family of Frances Ormond Buhler wishes to thank everyone who shared a relationship with her and Jay throughout the years. Your love, support, and friendships are cherished and appreciated.

Funeral services for Frances will be held on Wednesday November 26, 2014 at 10AM at the Filer LDS Stake Center in Filer, Idaho. A viewing will be held with the family beginning at 9 am prior to the service. Grave dedication and burial will follow at the Filer Cemetery. All are welcome to attend.
