Wynema C. Griffin
 
Wynema Christian Griffin, 90, Ontario, passed away May 29, 2000 at an Ontario 
assisted living home.  Services will be 2 p.m. Thursday at Shaffer-Jensen 
Memory Chapel, Payette, with Pastor Bill Slabaugh of the Payette First Baptist 
Church, officiating.  Burial will follow at Rosedale Memorial Gardens, Payette.
 
Wynema was born Aug. 11, 1909 at Rexford, Kan., a daughter of Earl and Anna 
Christian.  The family moved to Payette in 1914, and she graduated from 
Payette High School in 1928.  She was a bookkeeper for Stanton Transfer and 
Storage for 16 years, and on Sept. 29, 1934, she married Lyle Griffin.
 
They moved to a small farm south of Payette and later to Crescent City, 
Calif., where Lyle was Fire Department Chief and Wynema was the radio 
dispatcher and a member of the Women's Firemen's Auxiliary.  She enjoyed the 
ocean, walking along beaches, going to the wharf, watching the fishing boats 
come in to unload, and loved working in her large beautiful rose garden.  She 
made a lot of friends in Crescent City and missed all of them after leaving 
there.
 
Survivors include a sister, Murial Spears of Ontario; a brother and sister-in-
law, Jim and Lila Rae Christian of Payette; a nephew, Jim, and his children, 
Andy, Matt, and Nathan; a nephew, Lon, and his child, Dan; a nephew, Del, and 
his child, Ashlie; one niece, Ann and her child, Mac; and three additional 
nephews, Robert, David, and Michael Christian.
 
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Lyle E. Griffin; one 
sister, Eileen Schwass, and two brothers, Milton and Eugene Christian.
 
Memorials may be made to the Payette First Baptist Church or a charity of your 
choice, in care of Shaffer-Jensen Memory Chapel, P.O. Box 730, Payette, ID 
83661.
 
Friends may call from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. today at Shaffer-Jensen Memory Chapel, 
Payette.
