Our beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother passed away peacefully Wednesday morning, October 21, 2020, surrounded by her loving children.
Sharlene Tobler Blatter was the eldest child of Donald and Louise Shoell Tobler. She was born on June 5, 1931, in St. George, Utah, which was the closest hospital to Bunkerville, Nevada. Bunkerville was home until her schoolteacher father bought a dairy farm and moved the family to Nampa, Idaho, when she was 12 years old. She and her three younger brothers learned to work hard on the farm and in school. After graduating from Nampa High School, she pursued a teaching degree at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
It was at BYU where she met the love of her life, newly returned missionary, Glenn Blatter. They dated while she finished her degree, and he began his. They were married March 20, 1953, in the Idaho Falls Temple a year after they met. Following the wedding, they returned to Utah. Sharlene taught school in Payson, Utah, while Glenn finished his degree. After graduation, they settled in Ammon, Idaho.
While Sharlene was dedicated and dutiful in her home, she was also an avid volunteer outside of the home.
Sharlene was an excellent example of how to love and live life fully. She was ever actively engaged in a good work. She taught all her children and grandchildren the importance of hard work through her love of gardening.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Glenn Reed Blatter; parents, Donald Tobler and Lousie Tobler; brother, Harmon Tobler; and her grandsons, Bradley Kent Blatter and Logan John Blatter.
