Lawrence (Larry) Arneson, 92, passed away April 29, 2014, at Clearwater Valley Health and Rehab in Orofino.

Larry was born to Adolf and Laura (Nigard) Arneson on Aug. 12, 1921, in East Fork Pine Creek, Kellogg, Idaho. He grew up in Kellogg until graduating from high school. Larry's father one day said, "I guess we should go to Moscow and enroll you in college." Larry argued that the family could not afford to send him to college, but his father told him not to worry, they would find a way. This always stayed with Larry.

Larry enrolled at the University of Idaho and pursued a degree in forestry. He loved the outdoors and working with the land. He was an active member of the 1941 summer camp, along with Frank Dillion, Dick Campana and Bob Stillinger.

In March 1943, he was called away from UI and into service, stationed at the U.S. Army special training camp in Laramie, Wyo. There, he met and later married his wife, Eleanor. Larry and Eleanor married on a three-day pass in Kentucky in 1944. During World War II, Larry served his country in the European theater with distinction in the 285th Engineering Battalion with a rank of sergeant, acting as a foreman construction engineer. After the war, Larry and Eleanor returned to Moscow, where he then finished his degree.

In 1948, Larry went to work for Potlatch Corporation, where he worked for 371/2 half years. He spent that career as a forest engineer responsible for the transportation system in the Headquarters region. They lived and made their home at Headquarters from 1948 to 1975, and then moved to Kamiah. Eleanor passed away in 1999. Larry later married Anne Graft of Kamiah in 2010.

Larry was a life member of the American Legion and member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 5407 in Kamiah. Always remembering his father's words, Larry was a proud UI alumni, member of their Gold Circle Gift Society and sponsor of the Lawrence and Eleanor Arneson College of Natural Resources Scholarship, doing for others what his father did for him.

Larry is survived by his wife, Anne Arneson of Kamiah; sons Robert Arneson of Beaverton, Ore., Alan Arneson of Orofino, Mark and Jan Arneson of Maryville, Ill., Dennis and Debbie Arneson of Woodstock, Ga.; daughter Connie and Tony Nelson of Shelby, N.C.; stepdaughter Arlene Thomas; niece Gayle of Spangle, Wash.; seven grandchildren, Jay, Cory, Libby, Dennette, Deyna, Bryon and Tara; and three great-grandchildren.

Layton, UT - Lois Marion Price returned to her Heavenly Father on September 12th 2021, surrounded by her dear loving and caring husband, Ronald M. Price and family members at their lovely home. The world will miss this shining and wonderful soul, who was unceasingly happy, cheerful, positive and upbeat.

Lois was preceded in death by her parents, James Cecil and Lula Walker, her brother, Ronald, and granddaughter, Rebecca. She was survived by her husband Ronald, two children, Regina and Gregory, her siblings, James, Clark, and Marlene. She had 10 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter, as well as many cousins, nephews, and nieces.

One of her precious talents was her lovely and glorious voice of which she shared in many church choirs. She is fondly remembered for singing precious lullabies to her children and grandchildren. Even though she suffered from dementia for many years, she and her beloved husband sang beautiful songs to each other each passing day.

When Lois entered a room, she would instinctively search for the person in need of comfort, then extend to them loving kindness and care. She was known for her uplifting spirit and always had humorous stories and fun quips she related to family and friends. Grandchildren would often say after a phone call or visit, “I always feel better after talking with Grandma.” They loved to sleep over and Lois would make them French toast in the middle of the night and warmed their blankets in the dryer before bed. She was also remembered by her grandchildren for her back tickles.

Her family and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were always central to her. Throughout her life she held many callings including Relief Society President (3 times) Young Women’s President and was a faithful servant. She was committed to living a Christ-like life and truly loved everyone she met. The light of her life was her faithful husband, Ronald, and as her spirit faded into her twilight years, she would often thank him for his loving care that he gave to her daily.
