Kearns, Frank

Frank Kearns Burley, Idaho Frank Burl Kearns, a 90-year-old resident 
of Burley, passed away on Tuesday, April 24, 2007, at the Courtyard 
at Jamestown Assisted Living in Provo, Utah. He was born July 18, 
1916, in Watonga, Oklahoma, to William Sylvester Kearns and Lottie D. 
Milar. He spent two years in the U.S. Army stationed at Pearl Harbor, 
HI during World War II. He was the Cassia County Clerk for 40 years 
and will be remembered for his great capacity to make even strangers 
feel like a friend. He was an active member of The Church of Jesus 
Christ of Latter-day Saints and provided service to others for many 
years. He married Beth Adams on Oct. 13, 1940. They were later sealed 
in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. Beth preceded him in death as well as 
a daughter, Mary Elizabeth Evans. Frank is survived by his current 
wife, Eloise Beckstead Stokes; two sons, John Frank (Deanne) Kearns 
of Bountiful, Utah; and William James (Donna) Kearns of Albuquerque, 
New Mexico; two sisters, Marguerite Marie Sandmann of Burley, Idaho; 
and Maxine Moore of Vancouver, Washington; 13 grandchildren; and 22 
great-grandchildren. We would like to thank Eloise for her tender 
loving care during Frank's twilight years and the Christ-like care 
given to Frank by the staff at Jamestown. We would also like to 
express appreciation to Milinda Hudnall and her hospice staff. The 
funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, April 30, 2007, at the Burley 
Third and Seventh Ward Chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of 
Latter-day Saints, 2200 Oakley Ave., with Bishop Tracy King 
officiating. Burial will be in Pleasant View Cemetery with military 
rites provided by the Mini-Cassia Veterans. Friends may call from 6 
until 8 p.m. Sunday at Rasmussen Funeral Home, 1350 E. 16th St., 
Burley, and from 10 until 10:40 a.m. Monday at the church.
