Kenneth Max Papenfuss, 77, of Newdale, died Friday, July 16, 2010, at his home of natural causes.
Kenneth was born July 21, 1932, in Brigham City, Utah, to Curt and Laverne Papenfuss. He moved with his family to St. Ignatius, Mont., in 1934, where he attended local schools. He started college at Montana State University in Missoula until he was drafted into the Army in May 1952. He was granted an early release in March 1954, when he returned to college.
He married Laida Hudson on June 8, 1955, in the Cardston, Alberta, LDS Temple. He graduated from the university in August 1955. He held many teaching and administrative positions, including teaching for four years in New Zealand, 29 years at Ricks College and two years in China.
He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he served in numerous capacities, including two service missions. He was instrumental in building and expanding what is now Beehive Federal Credit Union, serving there as general manager, as well as 20 years as chairman of the board, chairman of the state credit union league and member of the National Credit Union Board. His greatest loves in life were the Gospel and his family.
He is survived by his wife, Laida; his children Kenneth Jr. (Amy), Kathleen (Ty) Whitman, Kurt (Lisa), Keith (Rebecca), Karen (Rick) Hilder and Kim (Frej) Copley; 25 grandchildren; four-and-a-half great-grandchildren; and siblings, Karma (Bob) Cook, Bruce (Barbara) Papenfuss and Joseph Papenfuss. He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers and one sister.
