Frances Mae Haderlie, 91, of Idaho Falls, passed away September 26, 2025, at her home. She was under the care of her loving family and Eden Home Health.

Fran was born July 12, 1934, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to Adelbert Rex Hendricks and Frances Mae Parks Hendricks. The family moved to California for a short time and she attended grade school in Huntington Park. They moved back to Idaho Falls where she attended Hawthorne, Osgood, Ucon, Emerson, and O.E. Bell Jr. High. She attended high school in California and Idaho Falls, graduating with the Class of 1955. She attained college credits from the American Charger School.

Fran met the love of her life, Verl W. Haderlie, in 1958. They were married on June 6, 1960, where they combined their four children from previous marriages. Their marriage was later solemnized, and their children sealed to them, in the Idaho Falls Temple on April 17, 1965.

Fran was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many callings. Some of which were, Stake and Ward Relief Society, Young Woman, girls camp, Scouts, Sunday School teacher, Ward historian, and Ward activities.

Fran was talented in every way, she could accomplish anything she put her mind to. These talents have helped her willingly serve those around her. She loved to entertain and threw the best parties for any occasion. She was an accomplished seamstress, professional cake decorator and chocolatier. She enjoyed doll making, family history, scrapbooking, gardening, and canning. Later in life, she picked up oil painting. Those paintings adorned her home as well as many family and friends that were close to her.

In 1993, they purchased a ranch in Bone, where they greatly enjoyed time together. She was an amazing cook and loved to feed the farm hands when she wasn't helping herself. She was her husband's right hand man in his farming and cattle operation. Even bucking hay on a trailer despite being only 5 foot 2. This summer their farm was recognized as an Idaho Century Farm. If she found a spare minute in her busy life, she could be found reading, or her favorite, playing pinochle with her family. Fran was positive and happy she found the greatest joy in serving her family and others.
