Ethel Violet Reeder Weeks
PRESTON, IDAHO - - VIOLET WEEKS
PRESTON- Ethel Violet Reeder Weeks, 88, passed away July 14, 2010, with her family by her side at the Franklin County Medical Center in Preston. She was born Nov. 30, 1921, in Treasureton, Idaho, to John Thomas Reeder and Bessie Cole Reeder. She remained in Treasureton throughout her grade school years, before moving from her family home to Downey, Idaho to continue her education in high school.
On Sept. 12, 1939, she married Lealand Weeks in the Logan Temple. They started their family in Lewiston, Utah and Trenton, Utah, before settling in Preston after purchasing farm ground where they raised six children.
Her interests included family, gardening, sewing, cooking and reading. She devoted much of her time and energy as a caregiver to family members and others. She loved growing roses and always kept a large garden. She also enjoyed feeding and watching the hummingbirds, wild birds, and wild flowers. However, her favorite pastime was spending time with her family, supporting her children at rodeos, fairs and especially horse races and chariot races. Her family and everyone who knew her will miss her greatly.
