Barbara Frith of Filer, Idaho | 1940 - 2021 | Obituary
April 16, 1940 - April 09, 2021
Barbara Mae Frith, age 80 of Filer, Idaho passed away unexpectedly, likely from a blood clot in her lungs, on April 9, 2021 after living a full and active life. Barbara was born in Rigby, Idaho on April 16, 1940 to Niles William (Bill) and Ella Mae Lemmon Parker. She started school at the age of 5 and graduated from Wendell High School in 1957. She followed that up with an educational degree from Idaho State University, while also taking continuing education credit from Boise State University and the University of Idaho. Barbara married Laurence Frith in 1958 and they were blessed with three children.
Barbara shared her love for reading and knowledge with hundreds of children through 40 years of teaching, starting in Rigby and Pocatello, continuing to Filer, Harper, Oregon and returning to Filer. She taught a combined grade of 3rd and 4th in Harper and 2nd, 5th and then junior high in Filer. She always enjoyed seeing former students and teaching children of former students. You couldn’t go anywhere in the area that someone wouldn’t come up to her and say “Mrs. Frith, I so enjoyed you as a teacher”.
Over the past 25 years, she remained active with bowling, pickle ball, a well-used gym membership and her true passion of golf, taking the senior circuit by storm. There wasn’t a ladies golf tournament in the area that she didn’t attend. She was a member of Clear Lake Country Club and enjoyed multiple teaming partners, although Billie, her “sandy sister” was always good for a win. She was an active member of the Magic Valley Republican Women, serving on the board. She also was the coordinator for her Clear Lake Country Club ladies working at the Twin Falls County Fair ticket booths. Barbara loved her family and friends, was a very gracious host and her generosity knew no ends. She enjoyed traveling with family.
Barbara was predeceased by her beloved husband Laurence in 2004. She is survived by her three children Kelly Coonce (Larry Gardner), Lori Frith and Doug Frith (Marcy), five granddaughters, Heather Frith, Toni Coonce, Angela Parker (Aaron), Sarah Hemler (Adam), Megan Wallace (Scott), nine great grandkids and sisters Bette Jo Cline (Johnnie), Billie Mason (Ed) and Olive Anne Turpin (Dennis).
A Memorial service is scheduled for April 17, 2021, at 11 A.M. at Parke’s Magic Valley Funeral Home, 2551 Kimberly Rd. in Twin Falls, ID. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Junior Golf Program at the club of your choice or to your local food pantry.
