Julie Lindquist

Thursday, August 8, 2013

Julie Rae Meyers Lindquist, loving wife, mother and friend, of Grand View, passed away Aug. 5, 2013. She was the youngest child born to Ray and Cherry Meyers in Nampa on Nov. 30, 1974.

She attended Rimrock Jr. Sr. High School and graduated in 1993. After graduation, she met and married Robert "Bobby" Lindquist on May 20, 1995, settling in Grand View to start their new life together.

On Aug. 10, 1998 a son, Bailey Robert, blessed their family, then a beautiful daughter, Samantha Rae, on Dec. 6, 2000. Thinking their family was complete, they were surprised and excited to welcome Justin Riley on Aug. 26, 2002. Her children were the love of her life.

While raising her family, Julie worked for U.S. Ecology and while there she became a volunteer Advanced EMT for the Grand View Ambulance Service. She quickly realized that she had found her calling and began working full time as an EMT for Elmore County.

In order to spend more time with her family, she left to take a job working for Rimrock Jr. Sr. High School where she got the chance to work with her former teachers. Wherever Julie went, she made long-lasting relationships and friends.

Julie's first love was her family, and she took pleasure in any activity that included them. She enjoyed fishing and camping in Melba, getting wood for the winter in the mountains, baking cakes and donuts, entertaining family and friends, dinner and movie dates, and the rewarding experiences of taking care of her patients on EMT runs. Julie was very dedicated and loyal to the people she loved, and she will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her devoted husband Robert "Bobby" Lindquist; her three loving children, Bailey, Sammie and Justin; her mother Cherry Meyers; brothers Douglas Meyers, Jerry (Penny) Meyers, Casey Meyers and Jason Meyers; sister Shawn (Matt) Freund, grandmother Mattie Black, and Bobby's parents Colin and Barbara Lindquist, numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Raymond Meyers, sister Cheryll and grandparents Paul Black, Alex and Alma Meyers.

A viewing will be held on Sunday, Aug. 11, 2013, from 4 to 6 p.m. at Rost Funeral Home, McMurtrey Chapel in Mountain Home. Funeral services will be held at the Rimrock Jr. Sr. High School Gymnasium at 11 a.m. on Monday Aug. 12, 2013, with graveside services immediately following in the Riverside Cemetery in Grand View.

All family and friends are invited to a dinner at the Grand View Legion Hall following the services.
