Henry Clement Durfee, 74, New Plymouth, Passed away Saturday, June 12, 2004, of natural causes at Holly Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Nampa. Funeral services will be at 10 a.m., Monday, June 21, 2004, at the New Plymouth Ward building of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, New Plymouth with Bishop Lane Austin conducting. Interment will follow at Rosedale Memorial Gardens, Payette. A viewing will be from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., today, June 20, 2004, at the Shaffer-Jensen Memory Chapel, New Plymouth. Arrangements are under the direction of Shaffer-Jensen Memory Chapel, New Plymouth.
Henry was born April 19, 1930, in Lyman, Utah. He was the youngest child of Charles Durfee and Martha Eunice (Callahan) Durfee. Henry spent his childhood years growing up in Lyman, Utah. He moved to Nyssa in Feb. 1945, when he was 12. He graduated in 1949 from Nyssa High School.
Henry then served a mission for the LDS Church in the Eastern States Mission from 1950 to 1952. After completing his mission he was drafted into the army and served his country for two years from 1953 to 1955. Henry attended Brigham Young University where he met his future wife, Verna White. Henry and Verna were married Nov. 19, 1957, in the Idaho Falls Temple of the LDS Church.
Henry and Verna settled in Sand Hollow, where they farmed and raised their five children Harold, Vernena, Martha, Diane, and Charles. In 1979, Henry and Verna sold their farm and moved into New Plymouth where Henry started his own business, Durfee Welding and Repair.
In 1995 Henry and Verna moved into the Emmett Rehabilitation and Care Center where they received excellent care and treatment.
October 19, 2002, Verna passed away due to complications of Multiple Sclerosis and Henry moved to the Holly Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Nampa where he could be closer to his children and grandchildren.
Henry was very talented in several different ways. He was an excellent musician, especially singing and playing guitar. At one point, Henry and his father formed a family band and performed at various community and church functions. He was probably best known for his talent and creativity in designing and building machinery. He was always looking for creative ways to invent tools that would make his jobs easier. He also used his talent to make things for his family which kept life exciting and fun. Some examples of his work are: a machine that would recap tires while they were still on the rim, an amusement swing set for his family, and, of course, go carts and bumper cars for the Chalet Amusement Park in Caldwell, as well as a homemade RV that he used to take his entire family on a three week vacation across the US. Henry had a belief that if you could imagine something you could build it.
Henry will always be remembered for his strong faith in Jesus Christ and his patience, optimism and sense of humor. Henry was a devout member of the LDS Church.
Henry is survived by his children, Harold Henry Durfee, Caldwell, Vernena Durfee Jorgensen, Parma, Martha Rebecca Durfee Higley, Fruitland, Diane Marie Durfee Banner, Nampa, and Charles Dennis Durfee, Eagle; brother, Walter Irvin Durfee, Nyssa; sisters, Shirley Fawn Durfee Jackson, Richfield, Utah and Louise Eunice Durfee Porter, South Jordan, Utah; 23 grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Henry was preceded in death by the love of his life, Verna White Durfee; his father, Charles Durfee; his mother, Martha Eunice Callahan Durfee; two brothers, Charles Deloss Durfee and Edward Erastus Durfee; and a sister, Rachel Elizabeth Durfee Ostberg.
Memorials may be made to Parma First Ward LDS Mission Fund, c/o Shaffer-Jensen Memory Chapel, P.O. Box 730, Payette, ID 83661.
