LeOra McLain Andersen, 87, passed away peacefully, with her family near, on November 27, 2017 in Montpelier, Idaho, where she resided. LeOra was born on July 4, 1930 in Bancroft, Idaho to Lewis McLain and Rachel Barfuss McLain. She was the oldest of six children. She grew up in Bancroft and graduated from North Gem high school. In 1955, she married Alvin Andersen in the LDS Idaho Falls temple and they had two children, Robert and Bonnie. LeOra was an avid sports fan. She loved to watch and talk about the Utah Jazz. She rarely missed a game. Camping was another favorite past time, she enjoyed sitting by the fire and was often found fishing long after everyone else had given up. She enjoyed quilting, embroidery and collected cook books. For many years, she cooked for the cowboys at cow-camp, during the fall round-up. It wasn’t until later in her life, that she missed the Idaho State Fair.
