PAUL • Emma Mae Kraus Lebsack, 80, of Paul, passed away peacefully Friday, Feb. 24, 2012. The last weeks of her life she was surrounded by her family. At times I'm sure she thought we were all moving back home.
She was born May 18, 1931, in Lamar, Colo., to Lorens and Anna Maria Kraus. Her early years were spent living in both Idaho and Colorado. She married LeRoy Lebsack on Sept. 26, 1947, and they enjoyed 64 wonderful years together. They were blessed with three children, seven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. Emma's greatest joy in life was being a wife, mother, and homemaker. She loved and was loved by her family.
Emma was a hard worker; working on the family farm as a young girl, serving as the office manager of the family business (Lebsack Repair and Harley Davidson), custodian of the Paul Congregational Church for 29 years, driving truck for her brothers during harvest, and caring for her family and home. She was patriotic; serving 54 years as a member of the American Legion Auxiliary Post 77; holding several offices including president and Idaho State Sergeant at Arms. Emma was a member of the Ebenezer Congregational Church and of West End Fire Department's auxiliary.
She is survived by her husband, LeRoy Lebsack of Paul; her children, Steve (Dalea) Lebsack, Ken (LeAnne) Lebsack and MaryAnn (Rob) Perez; her grandchildren, Scott (Nicole) Lebsack, Jennifer (Cody) Matthews, Stephanie (Brandon) Stimpson, Mark (Ashley) Lebsack, Scott (Mikhael) Carraway, Rick (Christine) Perez and Kim Perez; and her great-grandchildren, Ryllen and Braydon Stimpson, Riley and Jaycee Matthews, Taegan Remaley, Will Lebsack, and Benton and Alivia Carraway; and one brother, Edward Weimer.
Emma was preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Dollie Knopp and Bertha Price; and seven brothers, Edward Kraus, David Kraus, Lorens Kraus, Jake Kraus, Wilhelm Kraus, Walt Kraus, and John Weimer Jr.
The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28, at the Paul Congregational Church, 121 N. Second W. in Paul, with Pastor Brandon Wallace officiating. Burial will follow at the Paul Cemetery. Friends may call from 6 until 8 p.m. Monday, Feb. 27, at the Hansen Mortuary, 710 Sixth St. in Rupert, and from 10 until 10:45 a.m. Tuesday at the church.
The family suggests memorials be directed to Ebenezer Congregational Church Memorial Fund, Intermountain Hospice, or American Legion Auxiliary Post 77.
Her family extends their gratitude to St. Luke's MISTI and Intermountain Hospice for their outstanding care of Emma.
