Iva Peer, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, 2026, in Lewiston, at the age of 93.

Iva was born on April 10, 1933, at home in Milton, Ore., to Loyd and Vera Birdsell. She was one of six children and grew up alongside her siblings: Marie Shinneman, Bill Birdsell, Lela Martin, Cecil Birdsell and Jane Johnson. Throughout her life, she remained close with her siblings, cherishing time spent together visiting, talking, laughing and simply enjoying each other’s company.

She graduated from Clarkston High School in 1951. The following year, she met the love of her life, Dan Peer, at a Metronome dance in Lewiston. Their connection was immediate and enduring. They were married in 1953 in Clarkston and shared 67 beautiful years together until Dan’s passing in 2019. Together, they built a life rooted in love, laughter and deep commitment to family, spending more than 68 years in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley.

Iva and Dan were blessed with three children: Kathy (Chris) Roberts, of Clarkston, Kurt (Jackie) Peer, of Asotin and Kristi (Kevin) Matthews, of Anacortes, Wash. Iva’s greatest joy came from her family. She was a proud grandmother to seven grandchildren: Shane, Chad, Lindsey, Jaci, Kylie, Jordyn and Kaden; and cherished her 11 great-grandchildren. Her pride in them all was immeasurable, and her love was felt in every hug, smile and encouraging word.

Throughout her life, Iva lived in Milton, Clarkston, Culdesac, Panama, Asotin, California, Kamiah, Ellensburg and Moscow, creating friendships and memories wherever she went.

She had a strong work ethic and served in several roles over the years, including as a stenographer at Potlatch Forests Inc., a secretary for the Lewiston Police Department, office manager for Richard Law Insurance Agency in Culdesac and Lewiston, and secretary for the law firm of Clements and Clements. She also spent many years caring for children in her home, forming lasting bonds with the families she served.

Music and joy were constants in Iva’s life. She played the clarinet for 13 years with the LC Community Band and sang with the Sweet Adelines in the early 1970s. She loved to dance, especially to anything suited for a good jitterbug or waltz. She also found happiness in reading, working on puzzles and cheering on the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Seattle Mariners.

Iva was known for her warm hospitality and the traditions she created for her family. Her home was the heart of many cherished gatherings — festive Halloween celebrations with costumes, beloved Christmas Eve taco dinners and joyful Easter gatherings. Together with Dan, she also hosted family and friends each year during the Asotin County Fair parade, a tradition treasured by many. In later years, she enjoyed stepping back from hosting, finding delight in simply being present — visiting with loved ones and watching her grandchildren’s laughter and playful moments.

She and Dan were devoted supporters of their children’s and grandchildren’s many activities, attending countless sporting events and performances, always offering enthusiastic encouragement from the stands.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Dan; her daughter Kathy Roberts; her parents, Loyd and Vera Birdsell; and her siblings Cecil Birdsell, Lela Martin and Marie Shinneman.

Her family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Amy Rogers and the staff at Unique Senior Care for their compassionate care, as well as to all those who checked in on Iva and offered kindness and support in her later years. A special and quiet gratitude is extended to Kristi, Kurt and Shane for the extra time they shared with Iva, offering her companionship, comfort and love.

Iva will be remembered for her gentle kindness, her joyful spirit and the deep love she gave so freely to her family and friends. Her legacy lives on in the many lives she touched.

06/02/2026

Donald Glen Scheibe, 92, of Clarkston, died peacefully at home Friday, May 15, 2026. The son of Glen and Maxie (Brown) Scheibe, he grew up in Anatone and though he lived elsewhere in his adulthood he considered himself an Anatone guy the rest of his life. He served in the U.S. Army in Korea for two years, and when he came home in 1955, he met the love of his life, Helen Thompson. They were married that summer and lived happily together for the next 63½ years until she passed away in 2018. The couple had four children: Rosemarie (Schultz), Martha Jo (Moss), Marcella (Lindert) and Glen. Don and Helen also became a shelter in the storm to many other young people, opening their home and hearts to many in need.

Don earned his associate’s degree in education at what was then Lewis-Clark Normal School, and then moved his family to Sandpoint, where he taught elementary school for three years. They moved back to Clarkston because he could provide better for his growing family by loading boxcars at Potlatch Forests, Inc. He was quickly promoted to the paymaster’s office, and was paymaster for the company for 30 years. After his early retirement, Don was elected as Asotin County Commissioner and was re-elected twice more, serving a total of 12 years. While he was working, he also served on the Clarkston School board for 23 years and dedicated time to the United Way, Habitat for Humanity, Junior Achievement, boy scouts, youth baseball, leadership in his church and many other philanthropic pursuits. Those who knew him knew he was a man of honor and service who worked for the best solutions in any situation he encountered.

Don believed in building things to last, whether it was a fence, a birdhouse or a relationship. In addition to a lifelong commitment to the welfare of his family (which extended far beyond physical bloodlines) Don shared with them his love for learning, reading and poetry, as well as his appreciation of the outdoors: camping, hunting, fishing and searching for mushrooms and huckleberries. He loved to play games of all kinds, and had a special twinkle in his eye that hinted he was teasing about something.

He is survived by his three daughters, Rozee, Jo and Marcy, his seven grandchildren, Shane Moss, Luke Moss, Chis Sears, Tyler Scheibe, Zanna Schultz, Zach Schultz and Rosellyn Lindert, as well as 16 great-grandchildren, one great-great grandson, his sister, Nealia Golden and brother Dick Scheibe. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Frank, his sister Teresa (Mobley) and his son, Glen.

A celebration of his life will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, June 6, at New Connections United Methodist Church, 1242 Highland Ave., Clarkston. The family suggests donations to LC Valley Youth Resource Center or Habitat for Humanity in lieu of flowers.

05/29/2026

James “Jim” Bardon Higgins, Jr., passed away peacefully at his home on May 16, 2026, due to congestive heart failure. After enjoying a satisfying dinner and lemon pie for dessert, he was completing a Sudoku puzzle when the Lord Jesus called him and brought him Home. Jim was 82 years old, and he left this world with the same quiet grace and steady faith that guided him through life.

Born on August 31, 1943, in San Diego, California, Jim was the son of James Higgins, Sr. and Eulalie Salyards. He grew up in Duluth, Minnesota, and graduated from Georgetown Preparatory School and Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. In his younger years, he was an avid golfer and enjoyed traveling with his family and participating in competitive trap shooting, though he especially loved hunting and fishing in the quiet of nature.

After college, Jim returned to Duluth to work with his father as an investment advisor, where he learned the importance of serving others with integrity. In 1978, the family moved to Boise, Idaho, where he pursued several entrepreneurial ventures. Although he enjoyed that work, he felt called to something deeper. In 1984, he answered a call to ministry and earned his MDiv from Wartburg Lutheran Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa, in 1987. He then served rural parishes in Calamus, Iowa, before concluding his pastoral ministry at Grace Lutheran Church in the Orchards in Lewiston, Idaho.

On August 16, 1969, Jim married the love of his life, Judith “Judy” Jeneson. Together they built a home filled with warmth, humor, and unwavering devotion. Their sons, Bill and Ryan, were born in Duluth, and Jim took immense pride in watching them grow into the men they are today. Becoming a grandfather brought him unspeakable joy! Though he had a plethora of nicknames he prayerfully remembered his treasured “Grands” daily.

Through God’s grace and his own perseverance, Jim had looked forward to celebrating 50 years of sobriety in July—a milestone that shaped not only his life but also the lives of so many friends of Bill W. Among his most treasured memories were taking part in the 1982 Billy Graham Crusade in Boise, participating and leading others in the Walk with Christ Community, Chaplin for the Asotin County Sheriff's Department, and serving nearly 10 years as Chairman of the Board at Life Choices Clinic in Lewiston. Service was more than something Jim did; it was at the heart of who he was.

Jim was preceded in death by his father J. Bardon Higgins; his mother Eulalie S. Higgins; and his sisters Barbara Higgins Arbour and Carol Higgins Anderson.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Judy; his sons, Bill (Heidi) and Ryan (Robyn); his brothers, Michael Higgins and David (Jane) Higgins; his sister, Eulalie Markham; and four grandchildren—Liza, Lauryn, Sibley, and Torben—who brought him immense pride and fulfillment.

A Celebration of Life will be held on June 11, 2026, at 1 p.m. at Our Saviors Lutheran Church, 1115 13th Street, Clarkston. Refreshments and an opportunity to share memories will follow in the church Social Hall. The service will be livestreamed on YouTube at OSLC Clarkston.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial donations to Life Choices Pregnancy Clinic, 1208 Idaho Street, Lewiston, ID 83501.

05/27/2026

Verna June Gibbins was born June 13, 1933, and passed away peacefully in her sleep on Thursday, May 21, 2026. Verna was born to Frank and Odetta Burch of Wells Bench on the North Fork of the Clearwater River. She was the fourth of six children: Wilehmina, Francis, Katherine, Verna, Franklin and Norman. She attended school in Wells Bench to the eighth grade.

During her childhood, Verna was allowed to visit her grandparents in Dent. They had a piano and would take her to church service on Sunday. This experience became her guiding light, leading her to discover her “friend Jesus” and develop a talent for playing multiple instruments by ear.

Verna‘s talent for music and singing earned her a place in a small community band that performed at dances and parties in Wells Bench. However, life wasn’t all fun for Verna. She worked tirelessly at the Conservation Corp Camp, where she lived with her family and cooked. By the age of 15, she had only visited town (Orofino) twice. She said she was afraid of the buildings as they were tall and they might fall.

Verna married young and shared a life with Cornelius Middlekoop and their five children: Frank, Rodney, Debbie, David and Leonard until he passed from cancer. Despite this loss, her determination and strong faith in Jesus made her a successful single parent tending to her children and farm.

One day, Verna needed some electrical work done on her house, and a handsome handyman showed up. He worked late into the afternoon, so he joined Verna and the children for dinner. After that, he kept showing up daily at dinner time. She ended up marrying Melvin “Mel” Gibbins the love of her life, on Jan. 3, 1964. To this union, Mel brought two children: Ann and Ed (Melvin Jr.), and they later had three more children: Melva, Tom and Shannon. This made their family of 12 complete.

Verna was a hard-working homemaker. She kept her house immaculately clean and always had the most delicious homemade meals. She put her heart and soul into everything she made and people just kept coming back for more, especially her pies. Verna was always planning family reunion dinners and every holiday was spent at her house. Family and friends would pack into the house and share a meal together, which made her happy. She would say “the more the merrier”. When her kids brought home friends they were accepted like a part of the family. She always made sure they were well fed, and full before they left. Even as everyone got older and there were breakups, they were still considered a part of the family and invited back. She would say “once you’re in the family, you’re never out!”

Throughout the years Verna worked odd jobs between raising kids. This was to earn a bit more money to ensure her kids had everything they needed and wanted. She had a strong work ethic and could do anything she put her mind to. If you doubted it, she would show you how to get it done.

As the kids grew older and moved out, Verna embarked on a full-time career outside the home. She and Mel joined HUD housing and managed apartments in Julietta and Lewiston for over 24 years. They were so passionate about their job that we struggled to get them to take time off. Verna treated the people and apartments like family and home. Even after Mel’s passing, she continued working there until she was nearly 80 years old. After retirement, she remained committed to assisting those in need.

Although the last five years or so she has declined in health, having her here on earth still brought comfort. She was our source of strength and safety. The one we turned to for advice, recipes and laughter. Our matriarch, our soft place to land, our glue that held our family together. She didn’t give words of wisdom, she lived them. She was one in a million and we are better people because of her.

Verna was preceded in death by her parents Odetta and Frank Burch, husbands Cornelius Middlekoop and Melvin Gibbins, brothers Franklin Burch Jr. and Norman Burch, sister Katherine Altmiller, sons Franklin Middlekoop, Leonard Middlekoop, Tom Gibbins, stepson Ed Gibbins and son-in-law Mike Bare.

She is survived by Rodney Middlekoop, Debbie Middlekoop Smith, David (Deb) Middlekoop, Melva (Steve) Eichner, Shannon (Steve) Stakjowski, stepdaughter Ann Gibbins Bare and many grand to great-great grandchildren.

Services will begin at 2 p.m., Saturday, May 30, at Mountain View Funeral Home/Lewis-Clark Memorial Gardens in Lewiston.

The family would like to thank the staff at Life Care of Lewiston for the love, care and support of our precious Verna June. They became a part of the family too.

On May 20, 1959, Jeanette married Roger Mathew Beale and moved to Pomeroy, and built a life centered around family and farming. Together, they shared 15 beautiful years and raised their children until Roger’s passing in November 1974. Jeanette was a dedicated farm wife, homemaker and mother.

Jeanette found love again with her husband, Karl Bierhaus. The two were blessed with 47 years of marriage.

She was also an active member of the United Methodist Church.

In 1992, Jeanette and Karl moved back to Lewiston. Together, they shared a wonderful life filled with summer family camping trips, frequent travels down the West Coast, and cheering on the Seahawks and Zags.

Jeanette L. Campbell, 82, went home to be with her beloved husband and heavenly family after a short but courageous battle with breast cancer. Though her family’s hearts are heavy, they find comfort in knowing she lived a life rooted in faith, love, kindness, and unwavering devotion to those around her.

Jeanette was born on February 8, 1944, to Wesley and Myrtle Ames in Miller, South Dakota. It was there, while working at a local diner, that she met the love of her life and her “Prince Charming,” Milton. Their love story began with simple moments and grew into a lifetime of partnership, dedication, and unconditional love. They were married in June of 1963 and together built a beautiful life centered around family.

As a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Jeanette’s greatest joy was caring for others. She taught her children and grandchildren the importance of hard work, kindness, integrity, and doing things with pride. Her well-known saying, “If you’re going to do it, do it right the first time,” was more than advice, it was the way she lived her life.

After moving to Washington in 1966, Jeanette devoted herself wholeheartedly to her family and community. Whether she was sewing late into the evening, tending to her garden, canning food for loved ones, helping in the cook shack at horse shows, supporting 4-H events or volunteering at the food bank, Jeanette gave of herself endlessly and without hesitation. She never sought recognition; she simply believed in showing up for the people she loved.

Jeanette found beauty in life’s simple blessings; a full family table and laughter with friends. Her life was a reminder that love is often shown in quiet sacrifices, steady support, and the little things done every day with care.

The family would like to express heartfelt gratitude to the medical professionals who walked beside Jeanette during her journey. Special thanks to Elite Hospice, especially Maribeth, Rachael, and Sandra, whose compassion, gentleness, and care brought comfort and peace during difficult days. A special thank you to the countless years of friendship and support Nancy Reed.

Jeanette leaves behind a legacy of strength, generosity, faith, and love that will continue to guide those who knew her. She is survived by her children, Cindy (Mike) Lawen of Clarkston, Jodi (April Cliver) Campbell of Spokane, and Eric Campbell (Lisa Steel) of Clarkston; 6 grandchildren; and 17 great grandchildren who will forever carry her love in their hearts. She is also survived by her sisters-in-laws, Nancy Ames of South Dakota, Anna Mary Kauffman of Kansas, Ruth West of Missouri, and brother-in-law Millard (Connie) Campbell of Florida.

She was welcomed into heaven by her beloved husband, Milton; her parents, Wesley and Myrtle Ames; and her siblings, James, Delores, and Larry Ames. While she will be deeply missed, her family finds peace knowing her love lives on in every lesson she taught, every memory shared, and every life she touched.

A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, June 27, 2026 at Merchant Funeral Home. 1000 7th Street, Clarkston, Washington. A Graveside Service to follow at Vineland Cemetery. 1141 Vineland Drive, Clarkston, Washington.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Jeanette Campbell may be made to the Asotin County Food Bank Association, 1546 Maple Street, Clarkston, WA 99403.

Family and friends are invited to gather following the graveside service at the Lewis Clark Saddle Club to celebrate a life beautifully lived and a woman deeply loved.
