Carl Andrew Johannesen, 90, of Blackfoot, passed away at his home Friday, Oct. 22, 2010, from causes incident to age.
Carl Andrew Johannesen was born Nov. 7, 1919, to Julius Andrew and Mary Elizabeth Rice Johannesen in Rupert, Idaho. He passed away just a few weeks short of his 91st birthday.
He spent most of his younger years in the Idaho Falls area, graduating from Ririe High School and the University of Idaho.
He married Guenevere Cheatham on March 15, 1952, in Greybull, Wyo. They were sealed together Jan. 16, 1953, in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. They were blessed to have six wonderful daughters.
He dry farmed in the Antelope Flat area until 1961 when he moved his family to Powell, Wyo., where they spent 36 years. After Guenevere died Jan. 30, 1997, he sold the family farm and moved back to the Idaho Falls area.
He married Von Niese Stringham Munson on July 11, 1998. They resided in the Rose, Idaho, area for 13 years until his death.
He was an active member of the LDS church, holding many positions from Sunday school teacher, Scout leader and Young Men's leader to bishop and high councilman. He loved people and loved helping them any way he could.
He had many occupations in his life, including ranch hand, farmer, miner, social worker and vocational rehabilitation counselor. After he retired, he was able to do what he loved most: to break and ride horses, which he did into his 80s.
He is survived by his wife, Von Niese; his six daughters, Carla (Gilbert) Waddell of Casper, Wyo., Margaret (Gary) Brinkerhoff of Brigham City, Utah, Jean Johannesen of Idaho Falls, Janet Card of Cody, Wyo., Elizabeth (Liam) Williams of Payson, Utah, and Kris Ann (Richard) Johnson of Blackfoot, Idaho; five granddaughters; 15 grandsons; and one great-grandson. Also surviving are Von Niese's children, Dennis Munson, Lee (deceased) Venita Munson, and Donna Davis, all of Blackfoot, and Ed and Jenny Munson of Pocatello, Idaho; 12 grandchildren; and 18 great-grandchildren.
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and the staff of Blackfoot Home Health and Hospice that took such great and tender care of him.
