Obituary
Orval Charles Beus, 67; of Soda Springs passed away Sunday, May 31, 2009 at the home of his daughter in McCammon, Idaho.
He was born September 19, 1941 in Thatcher, Idaho the son of Jay and Isabelle Izatt Beus. He spent his younger years raised in Soda Springs, and then moved to Challis, Idaho where he worked with his father running a large sheep ranch. He graduated from Challis High School in 1959 and then attended New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, New Mexico. While in attendance, he achieved the rank of Staff Sgt. and graduated with honors. Following graduation from the academy, he served an honorable LDS mission to London, England. Soon after returning from his mission, he married the love of his live, Sara Jo Mickelson, on May 8, 1964 in the Logan Utah Temple.
Orval attended school at Utah State University where he achieved degrees in Wildlife Management and Secondary Education. In 1967, he applied for a teaching position with the Soda Springs School District where he was a dedicated and honored teacher for Thirty years. He retired from teaching in 1997.
As an active member of the Soda Springs LDS Fifth Ward, Orval gave countless hours of service to his fellow neighbors and friends. He was always the first to offer help and never expected payment. He was truly a good Samaritan – always helping those in need. Over the last decade, Orval devoted much time and energy to genealogy work. He researched many family and friends who have passed on, and made sure people knew who they were and what their story was.
Orval is survived by his two sons and two daughters Bravyn Beus of Soda Springs; Bryan and Darci Beus of Inkom; Yvett and Craig Adams of McCammon and Angie and Rick Cutforth of Shelley. Also surviving are his eight grandchildren whom he was so proud of. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Sara Jo and his parents.
Funeral Services were conducted on Friday, June 5, 2009 at Noon at the Soda Springs LDS 5th Ward Building (361 South 3rde East). Burial was at the Fairview Cemetery in Soda Springs.
