Christy Anne (Sargent) Bermensolo

Obituary

Class of 1947

Jun 4, 1929 – Apr 4, 2019

Christy Anne (Sargent) Bermensolo, 89, of Mountain Home, passed away Thursday, April 4, 2019, at a Boise Care Center.

A funeral service will be held on Friday, April 12, 2019, at 11:00 a.m. at Rost Funeral Home, McMurtrey Chapel, with burial to follow at Mountain View Cemetery in Mountain Home.

Christy was born to E. Fred Sargent and Mary L. Sargent in Mountain View, Wyoming. She attended schools in Mountain View, Wyoming, and Mink Creek, Preston, and Weiser, Idaho. She graduated from Weiser High School in 1947 and entered the University of Idaho, studying business/education.

While there, she met Claude Bermensolo, and they married in 1950. During the summers of her college years, Christy worked in the Payette National Forest Service office in McCall, Idaho, and worked on campus for the Dean of Forestry and the University of Idaho registrar and the Soil Conservation in Weiser, Idaho.

After leaving the University of Idaho in 1951, she and Claude lived for a short time in Boise. After moving to Mountain Home, she worked in her husband’s real estate office, Mountain Home Agency, and later spent her time as a homemaker and helped in community organizations.

She raised four children, sons Fred and Claude M., and daughters, Diana and Elizabeth, and was active in their education, interests, and activities. She loved her children and their families. Being a grandmother brought her great joy. She looked forward to having the grandchildren for a sleepover or a week’s stay during the summer.

Christy’s yard was a work in progress. Spring was always “right around the corner,” and the continued planting and transplanting kept her busy, a skill she learned from her mother and passed on to her children.

Her door was always open to her neighbors and close friends for an impromptu barbecue, to her children who needed to “come home,” and always to her traveling relatives if ever they needed a warm and cozy place to spend the night.

She is survived by her sons, Fred (Kim), Claude (Karen), and her daughters Diana (Bob) and Elizabeth, and 12 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandson, whom she loved dearly. Her brother John Sargent and many nieces and nephews.

Preceding her in death were her husband Claude J., her parents, brothers Ted and Bob, and son-in-law Acey Lott.

The family would like to thank Brookdale and Horizon Hospice for their tender, loving care.
