Rowene Hill Elder, 93, of Idaho Falls, passed away March 19, 2015, at The Gardens of Rigby Assisted Living Center. Rowene entered this world shortly after her twin brother, Robert, on October 31, 1921, in Leslie, Idaho, to Doyle Hill and Blanche Whiting Hill. She grew up in Eastern Idaho and graduated from Ammon High School in 1939. On July 12, 1941, she married her high school sweetheart, Ivon Arthur Elder, in Las Vegas, Nevada. They were sealed in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple two years later. They made their home in Redondo Beach, California during World War II. After the war they moved to Idaho Falls. Together they had six children. Rowene was the secretary, finance chairman, and general support for their business, Elder's Concrete Burial Vaults. They worked this business together for 30 years before retiring. As an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Rowene served in various capacities over the years. She and her husband served a mission to the Navajo Nation in Gallup, New Mexico. Upon returning they finished building an eight-sided home overlooking Swan Valley, Idaho. When her husband became ill with cancer, they sold this property and moved to Idaho Falls where Ivon died on Nov. 29, 1997. Rowene sold this house and moved to an apartment on Woodruff Avenue where she spent many happy years surrounded by friends and family. When her memory began to fade, she moved to The Gardens Assisted Living Center in Rigby, Idaho. Rowene loved to sew, camp, fish and snowmobile. A large garden was important to her and in the fall she would keep the kitchen full of canning aromas. She was a serious genealogist, and even in her 80's she learned to use a computer to continue doing what she loved. E-mailing was a delight for her and always seemed magical. Rowene is survived by her daughters: Linda (Wayne) Harris, of Rigby, ID, Kaye (the late Dr. Del) Proctor, of Medford, OR, Kim (Kelly) McDaniel, of Moscow, ID; sons: Duane (Sharon) Elder, of Idaho Falls, ID, and Mitchell (Davena) Elder, of Eugene, OR; sisters: Maxine Jensen of Rexburg, ID, and Grace Killpack, of Idaho Falls, ID; brothers: Newell (Delma) Hill, of Bel Aire, KS, Marion (Karen) Hill, of Richland, WA; 18 grandchildren, 50 great grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren. Preceeding her in death are her parents, Doyle and Blanche Hill, her husband, Ivon, a daughter, Jaylene Fullmer, a great granddaughter, Rachel Sudweeks; five brothers, Melvin Hill, Robert Hill, Lawrence Hill, Keith Hill and Reed Hill; and two sisters, Leah Rowberry and Fern Lindsay.
