      1926 - 2016
      Our dear mother, Betty Boekweg Wheeler, 89, passed away peacefully on June 17, 2016 in Boise, Idaho. Betty was born September 12, 1926 to Hieko and Stella Boekweg in Riverdale, Utah. In 1947 she married Ray Franklin Wheeler who passed away much too young on November 26, 1991. Together, Ray and Betty had five children. One daughter, Deborah, passed away at birth. Betty and Ray started their married life in Ogden, Utah. Later they moved to Pocatello, Idaho and then Boise, Idaho.
      They had a mountain home in McCall, Idaho where they loved spending time together with their family. After Ray's retirement they also maintained a home in Oceanside, California. Ray worked in the Supermarket business and Betty was always his biggest cheerleader. They had a wonderful life together. The compassion Betty showed Ray in his last years as she took care of him was an amazing example of love and devotion. This devotion sealed the love they had towards one another forever.
      Betty was a great friend, mother and wife. She loved life. She enjoyed homemaking, gardening, reading, golf and music. She enjoyed traveling and meeting people. She was always a most devoted friend. She was also a wonderful grandmother and great-grandmother. Her family was always her main concern. Betty was never judgmental and always beautiful and elegant.
      Betty is survived by sons Ray Jr., Boise; Rex (Shauna), Salt Lake City; Kim, Tucson; and daughter Karen Kawano (Russell), Boise. She has 7 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.
      A private family graveside service and burial has taken place in Boise, Idaho.
