Jean Munsee Middleton passed away January 10, 2017, in Boise, Idaho. She was born July 11,1929, in Havre, Montana, and spent her early years on a dairy farm in Harlem, Montana.

The family moved to Idaho Falls when Jean was in high school and she graduated from Idaho Falls High School.

She was active in the First Presbyterian Church in Idaho Falls until her move to Boise in 2012.

She is survived by three children. Kaye Middleton (Eric Johnson) Ridgway, Colorado, Jeff Middleton, of Boise and Carol Middleton, of Boise; and one granddaughter, Mollie Middleton (Matt Tarbet), of Seattle, Washington.

Jean was preceded in death by her husband, Val, in 2005; son, James, in infancy daughter-in-law, Jeanette Low; parents; two sisters and one brother.
