Nila was born in Rupert, Idaho, on Jan. 6, 1926, as the sixth daughter of Carson Gilbert and Nellie Louisa Florence Kidd. As a baby, her family moved to Acequia and then to Declo when she was 8years old. She graduated from Declo High School in 1944, where she had been a cheerleader for three years. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was a visiting teacher who loved to call church members and wish them a happy birthday.
She married the love of her life, George Henry Schrenk on Nov. 24, 1951, in Elko, Nev. A year later on Nov. 17, 1952, Nila gave birth to their son, Dennis Scott Schrenk, and on Oct. 10, 1955, Dena Kae, their second and last child, became part of their family. Nila worked as a waitress and then as a cook at Min's Café in Declo for 30 years and, after her husband died, as a cook in the cafeteria at Cassia Regional Medical Center until her retirement. She was an avid supporter of the Declo Lions Club and was recently honored for her lifelong support of the organization.Nila loved sunsets, baking cookies for her grandchildren, making ceramics and traveling, but her life was her family and she was happiest when she was surrounded by them.
Nila is survived by her children, Dennis (Candace) Schrenk of Declo and Dena (Dan) Fenstermaker of Burley; her siblings, Rema Combs, Jay (Dorothy) Kidd, Bonnie Richins, Joan (Fred) Hawker and Gwen (Eldon) Searle; six grandchildren, Travis (Melissa) Fenstermaker, Terry (Morgan) Fenstermaker, Ryan (Kelli) Schrenk, Ginger (Jared) Wells, Derek (Alaina) Schrenk and Karlee (Scott) Shaw; and 11 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, Carson and Nellie Kidd; her husband, George Schrenk; and five sisters, Lydia Woodbury, Annah Kidd, Ruth Matthews, June Mclean and Merla Fries Stone.
Nila loved children in many ways and one of them was by consistently donating to the Primary Children's Medical Center.
