Opal Fern Hart Kunz passed away April 18, 2019 at her home in Wardboro, Idaho. She was born October 1, 1929, the second of the seven children of Fred William Hart and Freda Anna Reisner. She was born and raised in Virginia, Idaho, and graduated from Downey (Idaho) High School.
Opal was blessed with extraordinary sweetness and innocence, and a loving personality. There was no one that she didn’t love, regardless of their circumstances. She never criticized or spoke unkindly of anyone. She was genuine in her love and acceptance of all people.
Opal had a special love for little children.
Love of music was an important part of Opal’s heritage. She often hummed as she worked throughout the day. She especially enjoyed singing hymns, and sang folk songs learned during her childhood. She loved to crochet and created many doilies, countless toy animals, and several exquisite tablecloths.
Preceding Opal in death are her parents; her husband, Lyman; her brother, William Hart; and grandchildren, Spencer Miller, Stephanie Miller and Celeste Kunz. She is survived by all nine children, Carma Miller (David), Ruth Davis (Mark), Nathan Kunz (Laura), Beth Coleman (Craig), Pearl Kunz, Merrill Kunz, Howard Kunz (Tricia), Martha Bolan (Steve), and Christine Harris (Glen); forty-five grandchildren and twenty-nine great-grandchildren, as well as siblings Jim Hart (Nadine); Goldie Burton; Judy Lewis (Dave); Henry Hart (Alaine); and Nola Nielsen (Charles).
Opal is much loved and will be missed. We are grateful for her remarkable life and example.
