Floyd Lavern Babbitt,86,passed away June 29, 2015.
Floyd was born on Sept. 23, 1928 in Pocatello, the son of Richard Floyd and Ruth Marie Hennefer Babbitt. His Aunt Millie Hennefer, a midwife delivered him at home.
He married Eunice Jorgensen on 12 Aug, 1948 and they were sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple, June 1970.
He attended Roosevelt Elementary & Franklin Jr. High. He could only attend school until the 8th grade because his father was not in good health. That was never an excuse for not continuing to learn. If there was anything that needed to be done, he learned to do it.
He spent his growing up years in his grandparents’ home which set his heart in welcoming family into his own home. If he saw someone in need, he tried to help. He worked for the Union Pacific Railroad as a switchman, conductor, and brakeman.
He loved farming and wanted a piece of land of his own.
He was a very quiet kind man. He loved his family, especially his dear wife Eunice.
He is survived by his wife Eunice Babbitt and children Connie Romriell, Carolyn Dustin, Bonnie Nelson, Cheryl Tilley, Richard Babbitt and his sister Theda McHuge.
He was proceeded in death by his mother Ruth Marie Hennefer and father Richard Floyd Babbitt, brothers Eugene Babbitt, Harry Keith Babbitt
We want to thank Encompass Hospice for their tender care, especially Brandy and Stephanie.
