John R. 'Jack' Hathaway, 69, Orofino
The day Jack passed on to the happy hunting grounds, the sky had cleared and the sun had come out to welcome him Jan. 19, 2011. He was surrounded by family. He went peacefully and without pain.
Jack was born June 14, 1941 and spent his early years in the northern suburbs of Chicago. He entered the military in 1962 and was among the first to be deployed to Vietnam. He worked as a crypt analyst with the expeditionary forces.
In 1965 after his discharge in Northern California, he entered college at Sonoma State University where he received his Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology. In 1970 he moved to San Diego CA, where he intended to work toward his doctorate degree in psychology. However, he went to work for San Diego County probation department . He worked almost exclusively with minority youth. During that time he and a partner developed and implemented the program that is now known as house arrest. He was instrumental in solving several cold case homicides. His eye for detail was amazing. He also taught psychology for National University.
In 1981, he and his second wife moved to Idaho where he went to work as a probation /parole officer. After three years of working with the adult system Jack decided he needed a change, so he enrolled in law school at the University of Idaho. He graduated in December 1986 and passed the bar exam in February 1987. He worked a few months in Lewiston and then moved to Orofino where he worked until his death.
The years he worked in Orofino were his favorite. He enjoyed being surrounded by his friends, He also enjoyed hunting and fishing in this beautiful area.
Jack was involved with families throughout his career, including two marriages of his own, first to Kathy Ward and then to April Allen. He was a very giving family man. If you knew Jack then you knew he was always with the ones who needed him most, often excluding his own family.

Ina Marie Jones, 71, born in Orofino
BURLEY - Ina Marie Jones, 71, beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend passed away Monday, Jan 31, 2011 at her home in Burley surrounded by her family.
Ina was born on Feb. 10, 1939 in Orofino, Idaho to Alvin and Deloris Wilson. She graduated from Nezperce High School in 1957. Following high school Ina pursued her dream to become a flight attendant and after graduating she chose to turn in her wings to marry the love of her life, Garth Jones. Ina and Garth were married
June 7, 1960, and had four wonderful children.
Ina enjoyed spending time with her family, camping and playing cards. She spent many hours with her grandchildren laughing and having fun playing her favorite video game, Dr. Mario, which usually ended with a victory. Bowling was another passion she shared with her family; earning a trip to national competition in Reno with daughters Joni and Kristine. Her competitive spirit is one that will be missed dearly. Ina also spent many quiet hours toll painting, crafting, and painting her husband's wooden creations; garden frogs and bird houses to name a few. Together they made many wonderful gifts for friends and family to cherish.
Those fortunate enough to know Ina knew she was devoted to her family and friends. Her laughter was one that started deep and erupted with joy. The familiar twinkle in her eye meant something mischievous or comical was afoot. Even while going through her recent battle with breast cancer, there was never a moment that she couldn't make others laugh with her wit and quiet humor. Sadly, while their memories of Ina are not lost, the cherished hugs that she gave them are no more.
Ina is survived by her husband, Garth; sister, Mary (Fred) of Boise; daughters, Debbie (Dallas) Doty of Boise, Joni (Brad) Norman of Idaho Falls, Kristine Jones of Heyburn; daughter-in-law, Christina Lott of Twin Falls; several nieces and nephews; eleven grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren with one on the way. She was preceded in death by her parents, Alvin and Deloris Wilson; Aunt Louis Egan, and her son, Robert Jones.
As sad as we are to say goodbye, we have joy in knowing that Ina has gone to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; where she will dance with Him on the streets of gold and wait for us to follow her into eternity. "Amazing Grace", her favorite hymn says it best, "When this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the veil, a life of joy and peace."
Memorial services will be held Saturday Feb. 5, 2011 at 3 p.m. at Morrison Funeral Home, 188 S Hwy 24 in Rupert, with urn placement to follow at Pleasant View cemetery in Burley. A gathering for friends and family was held at New Beginnings in Burley, Friday Feb 4. Services are under the direction of Morrison Funeral Home.

Marietta Cross, 80, Orofino
Marietta Cross passed away peacefully on Jan. 24, 2011 in Spokane, WA, surrounded by her family. She was born to Elsie and Marion C. Purington on Oct. 1, 1930 in Weare, NH. She was raised there, graduating from Weare High School in 1948, and receiving her nursing degree from Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in 1951.
In 1967, she moved to Missoula, MT, with her first husband, Warren E. Thamarus, Jr. and their four children. Moving to Montana was like coming home for Marietta, and she had many adventures under western skies. She enjoyed skiing, hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping with her family. She was a member of the Missoula Trap and Skeet Club, and also participated in English Springer Spaniel field trials with her dog "Checkerboom Jake."
In September of 1975 she married
George W. Cross, and they established their home in Missoula. She had been working at Community Medical Center (CMC) for two years, and, with George by her side, she continued to dedicate herself to maternal-child health care in Montana.

She was a founding member of the Montana Perinatal Association, and a leader for CMC in Maternal Child Health Education outreach. She served as chairwoman of the Governor's Council for the MIAMI Project (Montana Initiative for the Abatement of Mortality in Infants). She also helped establish the Rocky Mountain Childbirth conference and recently attended the 20th annual meeting. She believed that there was "so much you could do" to promote prenatal care and education, and her career was a shining example of that belief.
Marietta and George retired to the Orofino area in November 1992. They shared an active retirement, participating in the North Idaho Senior Games as well as other events around the country. She received medals in the long jump, trap shooting, shot-put, and discus. She loved all types of music, and was active with the Orofino Dance Club. She also enjoyed reading, walking her dogs and driving anywhere, which she often did to visit family and friends around the country.
