Richard Leslie Marshall passed away on October 18, 2008 after a lengthy illness. He will be missed by all who loved him. At his request no service will be held.
Richard was born in Tacoma, Washington on September 9, 1937 to George and Kathryn Marshall. As a young child his family moved to Spokane, he attended West Valley High School and graduated in 1956. Directly after high school he entered the U.S. Navy and served for two years. Rich graduated from University of Washington in 1962 with a Bachelors degree in business. While working in the banking business in San Francisco, California he attended night school at Golden Gate University to obtain his law degree. He practiced law in California and Idaho for 28 years. Rich was not an attorney that the “lawyer’s” jokes referred to, he valued and respected his clients and never made financial gain from their pain and problems.
Rich loved the Pacific Northwest and Spirit Lake, Idaho in particular. Before moving to Spirit Lake in 1990 he visited every summer with his family. He enjoyed fishing, boating, swimming, watching the wildlife and golfing. When Rich wanted to take up a sport or interest he worked hard at it until he could be the best that he could be. Animals were some of his best friends; he would be sitting around a lot with a dog and cat on his lap on any given day. All were happy!
Upon moving to Idaho Rich worked as the Prosecuting Attorney for Spirit Lake for four years and also had a private practice in Coeur d’Alene. He retired in 2000 due to illness.
Rich had a wonderful sense of humor and he liked to tease. Sometimes it was hard for people until they got to know him and then when they did they loved to banter with him.
Richard is survived by his wife of 20 years, Leslie Marshall of Sandpoint, son Leslie Garret Marshall, stepsons Greg and Geoff, grandchildren Jake and Tyler Marshall, Tylor, Zak and Kenzie Blank. He is preceded in death by his parents George and Kathryn Marshall.
The last year and a half of Rich’s life was spent in Valley Vista Care Center where he met many new friends and caregivers. He received wonderful care and attention and our thanks to those at Valley Vista who knew him and took such good care of him. They made us a part of their family and gave all they had from their hearts.

Louanne Jo Daarstad passed away peacefully on October 16, 2008 with her family by her side after a brief struggle with cancer and pneumonia.
Louanne was born on Jan. 22, 1932 in Kansas City, Missouri, the daughter of Wanda and Joseph Frye.
After her parents divorced, she and her Mom moved to California in 1944. They lived in Temple City, a suburb of Los Angeles. Louanne attended Woodrow Wilson Jr. High School in Pasadena and then the Pasadena City College where she graduated in 1950.
She worked at the Southern California Gas Company in Los Angeles until 1956 when she moved to San Francisco and worked for the Container Corp. of America. The same year she decided she wanted to see a little more of the world and went to work as a civilian with the U.S. Army in Poitiers, France and Verona, Italy.
Louanne took advantage of weekends and vacation time to travel and explore the rest of Europe. In 1960 she returned to the U.S. and started to work for the Houston Fearless Corp. and then Arthur Young and Co. in downtown Los Angeles.
On a ski trip to Aspen, Co. in Jan. 1963 she met Erik Daarstad. They fell in love and got married six months later, on July 6, 1963. They decided to take up residence in Manhattan Beach, California. One month later Erik got an assignment with the Disney Co. filming a television program in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Louanne resigned from her job and joined Erik for three wonderful months living in a cabin surrounded by the beauty of the Grand Teton National Park.
When they returned to Calif., Louanne went to work for Space Technology Laboratories in Redondo Beach where she worked until their first child, daughter Kari Ann, was born in February 1965. Louanne became a full time stay-at-home mom because Erik’s work required extensive travel around the U.S. and around the world.
They had two more children, a daughter Heather Britt and a son Erik Even. Because Erik had free time between assignments, they always took their children on trips to many places around California as well as other states. Each summer they spent time at a wonderful old guest ranch in Aspen, CO where they and their children enjoyed horseback riding, fishing and hiking.
Because they loved Aspen the way it existed in the early 60’s they planned to build a house and move there. However, in the late 60’s Aspen started to change and they started to look at other options. Somebody in Aspen told them about this little town in Northern Idaho called Sandpoint where there also was a ski area. They decided to check it out and after a couple of summer trips decided to give it a try. They bought an old farm in the middle of Wrenco Loop and moved there in June 1976. The children went to school here and Louanne and Erik became active members of the community.
In 1986 Erik was presented with an employment opportunity in Seattle and they packed up and moved, residing at first in Redmond and later in Bellevue. They enjoyed their 11 years there, but when Erik started to think about retirement they eventually decided to move back to Sandpoint. They built a house, one of the first in a new development called Northshore in South Sandpoint and their oldest daughter, Kari, decided to move back as well. Again they became active in the community. Louanne joined the Auxiliary as a volunteer at Bonner General Hospital and they became active supporters of POAC, the Festival as well as the Panida Theater.
Louanne and Erik were happily married for 45 years.
Louanne is survived by her husband, Erik, and her three children; Kari Ann (Clay Saccomanno), Heather Britt (Dale Downey) and Erik Even (Stacey Daarstad) as well as her eleven grandchildren; Kendall, Sage, Nathan, True, Micah, Rory, Clara, Selah, Haley, Ethan and Jake.
She will be remembered as a very special individual, a loving wife and a wonderful and loving mother and grandmother. She will be sorely missed but the family will remember and treasure all the wonderful times and special moments throughout their life together. When Louanne was diagnosed with lung cancer a month ago, she expressed how good and rewarding her life had been.
Sometime this coming spring or summer there will be a celebration of her life at Kari and Clay’s place near her old Wrenco Loop stomping grounds. Until then we invite you to an open house on Saturday, Nov. 1 between 2 and 5 PM at Erik and Louanne’s residence at 1504 Northshore Dr. in Sandpoint. Please join us to visit with her family and honor her memory.
Louanne would love any donations in her memory to be made to the Community Cancer Services, P.O. Box 2213, Sandpoint, ID 83864 to help those who need help in battling this insidious disease.
