Burley, Idaho – Irma Frost Lindsay, 93, of Burley, passed away peacefully on August 1, 2025, surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Irma was born in Burley on March 3, 1932, the seventh of nine children of Ira L. and Vyla J. Frost. She often reminisced about life on the family farm outside Burley and preferred working with her father and brother in the fields to indoor chores. Irma was a dedicated student and formed lifelong friendships with classmates. As president of her high school’s shooting club, she was an outstanding marksman who also enjoyed many outdoor pursuits. In her senior portrait album, classmates described her this way: “Dainty in size, mischievous eyes, apt to make guys feel very unwise.” She loved her family deeply, and the Frost family drew even closer after her brother Myron was killed in action during World War II.

At a post-game dance, Irma met a tall, handsome young man from Rupert named Don Lindsay. She and Don danced every Saturday night at the Y‑Dell Ballroom, and after a two‑year courtship that spanned Don’s Navy service, they were married on June 9, 1950, in the Salt Lake City Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In May of the following year, Irma and Don celebrated the birth of Shirley, their first child. Irma had a very difficult delivery and the Dr. informed Don that they would not be able to have any more children. However, two years later they welcomed Randy Don. Then came Dennis Brad. Next came Clyde Frost, followed by Myron Kirk. A daughter and 4 sons seemed like a perfect family, but Irma and Don were not finished. Debbie came and started the cycle again. Kevin Kay joined the family, followed by Craig Hymas, Wesley Kim and finally Rupert Jay to form the complete family.

Irma and Don shared a love for music and art. They often sang together in the evenings—Don played guitar, and Irma sang in perfect harmony. Irma later became an accomplished landscape artist, and her artwork remains proudly displayed in all her children’s homes and in many of her grandchildren’s homes today. She also cherished Christmas: often decorating two trees during the holiday season, and she was famous for her exceptional almond roca candy.

Irma and Don were faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She volunteered countless hours teaching and leading in every capacity, poured energy into Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts as a mother of eight sons, and conducted family history work. They served a two‑year mission at the Burley Family History Center and became local experts in genealogical research.

She is survived by her children: Shirley (Marty) Wallace of Eagle, Idaho; Randy (Sharyn) Lindsay of Burley; Dennis (Vickie) Lindsay of Bountiful, Utah; Clyde (Becky) Lindsay of Burley; Debbie (Johnnie) Montoya of Duchesne, Utah; Kevin (Debbie) Lindsay of Ferndale, Washington; Craig (Kerri) Lindsay of Burley; Wesley (Stephanie) Lindsay of Rupert, Idaho; and R.J. (Shanna) Lindsay of Paul, Idaho. She is also survived by 35 grandchildren, 78 great-grandchildren, and three great‑great‑grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband Don; her son Myron Kirk (2017); and her siblings Eunice Read, Thelma Jackson, Myron Frost, Celia Gilmore, Lorna Turner, Marian Harper, Gerald Frost, and Kathryn Frost. She is also mourned by her daughter-in-law Norma Lindsay of Pocatello, Myron Kirk’s widow.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the caregivers and staff at Park View Care Center for their attentive, loving care of Irma over the past several months.

Irma’s life will be celebrated with a funeral service at 11 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 7, 2025, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Chapel, 515 E. 16th St., Burley,, burial will follow in the Pleasant View Cemetery. Visitation will be held at Morrison Funeral Home, 188 S. Hwy. 24, Rupert, on Wednesday, Aug. 6, from 5 to 7 p.m.; and on Thursday morning from 10 to 10:45 a.m. prior to the service.

Condolences:

Kerri and Craig. I am sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing.She is a great lady, Mother and friend. I met her years ago when Kerri joined your family. It was like meeting an old friend for the first time. She had the ability to make you feel comfortable in her presence. . I have enjoyed hearing about all the fun, exciting and crazy adventures with your Mom through out the years. You did mention her mischievous eyes?! Being a Mother to all you kids I have noticed some of that wearing off on a few of you!?! Ha ha! I won’t be able to make it to the funeral since I broke my ankle and am layed up. But know that I am thinking of you and Kerri and your family Love you Heidi

Sad to hear about Irma's passing. She has always played a big part in my life. I tried to call her a week ago, but got no answer. I didn't realize she was in a care center. That's probably whyI got no answer. I got an urge to call her, so I tried. I'm sure she is now with family and happy. Verdene Fairchild

Lindsay Family. So sorry to hear of your loss. Such a special lady. God bless. Glena Turner
