Stella 'Sally" Rose Bosworth
BUHL -- Stella "Sally" Rose Bosworth, 94, a longtime Buhl resident, died Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2005, at Bridgeview Estates Skilled Nursing Unit following a short illness.
Sally was born Oct. 8, 1911, in a house along the Salmon River south of Lucile, Idaho. She was the second youngest of four sisters and a brother. They were raised by their father and she told many stories of growing up on the farm with the horses, the orchard and the vegetable garden. After graduating from Grangeville High School she lived in various places and went to beauty school in Portland, Ore., before settling in Twin Falls where she met and married William Bosworth in 1945. In 1950, they adopted twin girls, DeeAnna and LeeAnna. Following the marriage they resided in Buhl, where they had an accounting office until they retired.
Bill and Sallie enjoyed many years together camping and fishing. They belonged to the rifle and pistol clubs and bowled for many years. They also raised a granddaughter, Cynthia. Sally was a member of the Immaculate Conception Church in Buhl until she was no longer able to attend. In later years, Bill and Sally enjoyed playing cards at various places. Sally loved to golf, especially with her grandson, Randall, and played a lot of duplicate bridge. The past few years her health and mind deteriorated somewhat and she lived at Bridgeview estates where she enjoyed playing bingo and other games. She belonged to the Red Hat Society and loved visits from her granddaughter and great-grandchildren.
Earlier this year she came home to live with Cynthia and the kids. She loved having the little ones around, liked participating in "tea parties" and became especially fond of ice cream! She liked to read, especially her gossip magazines and watch Wheel of Fortune. She always looked forward to her two eggs over-easy for breakfast and her two cups of tea a day. She was doing so well until her fall last month when she broke her hip. We were looking forward to having her home by Christmas. We will always remember her huge Thanksgiving turkey dinners and wonderful lemon meringue pies! She was really a wonderful cook. We will miss you Mom and Grandma!
Sally is survived by her daughters, DeeAnna (Keith) Barnes of Castleford and LeeAnna (Bud) Randall of Castleford; granddaughter, Cynthia Owsley of Buhl; granddaughter, Carina Latham of Twin Falls; grandsons, Randall (Misty) Barnes of Buhl and Willie (Brandi) Barnes of Twin Falls; great-grandchildren, Adrianna, Kassidy, Justin, Ryan, Kelsey, Taylor, Kyler, Emily, Diana, Robert and one that is due in May; and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill, all of her sisters, her brother and a grandson.
The family would like to thank Bridgeview Estates for their care recently and in the past when she was a resident. She really enjoyed her stay and loved all the nurses and aides, and especially the activities.
In lieu of flowers, please donate in Sally's name to the Buhl or Castleford Quick Response Units.
A funeral ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2005, at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Buhl. A viewing will be held one hour before services begin at the church. A graveside service will follow at the West End Cemetery. Arrangements are under the care of Farmer Funeral Chapel, Buhl, Idaho,

Note: Contrary to the above obituary, Sally was the third youngest of five sisters and a brother.
