Mary Leone Broadhead, 88, formerly of Blackfoot, Idaho, passed away peacefully Saturday, April 2, 2011, in Yakima, Wash.
She was born as Mary Delaney to John Vernon and Preal Losser Delaney on April 28, 1922, in Salt Lake City, where she grew up and graduated from West High School at the age of 16.
Mary was working as a switchboard operator for Rocky Mountain Bell in 1941 when she met D. Lloyd Broadhead. The couple married March 11, 1944, and moved to Lloyd's family farm in Thomas, Idaho, where they raised four children, Mike, Steven, Clair and Kay Lynn, and lived for more than 50 years. Mary was an active member of the community, volunteering at the church, working part-time jobs while raising her family and later serving as president of the Blackfoot Does. She worked for the Blackfoot School District from the late '60s until the mid-80s when she and Lloyd began to split their time between the farm and their house in Yuma, Ariz. After Lloyd passed away in 1995, Mary moved to Blackfoot and continued to spend winters in Yuma.
She was preceded in death by her brothers, John and Bud; her sister, Thelma; her husband, Lloyd; her son, Steven; and her grandson, Jeremy.
She is survived by her brother, Harold (Audrey); her children, D. Michael (Marvalene) Broadhead of Yakima, Wash., Clair L. (Paula) Broadhead of Blackfoot and Kay Lynn Broadhead of Boise; 11 grandchildren; and 21 great-grandchildren.
Mary loved to dance, travel, golf, play cards and spend time with friends. She will be remembered dearly for her cheerful spirit and the constant love and care she's given her family over the years.
