Caryl Ione McClymonds

Caryl McClymonds, 92 of Twin Falls passed gently into that good night on December 28, 2016. Caryl was born to Joseph and Adelia Reinarz in Walker, Minnesota on August 25, 1924. Caryl’s early years were spent living in Minnesota with her father after the untimely deaths of her sister in 1928 and her mother mother in 1929. Caryl and her father moved to Klamath Falls, Oregon in 1942 and later to Crescent City, California.

Caryl married William C. (Bill) McClymonds on January 19, 1944 in Reno, Nevada. She followed Bill to Kentucky where he was stationed until his deployment to Germany. Caryl returned to California while her husband was deployed. The happy couple farmed in Tule Lake, California after the war. In 1947 Bill and Caryl homesteaded at the Hunt Project near Eden, Idaho. They lived on the farm until 1957 when they moved to Twin Falls, Idaho where Caryl resided for the rest of her life.   Caryl and Bill had four sons during their marriage.

Caryl loved her kids and grandkids and her happiest times were those spent with them. Caryl maintained her sense of humor and love of shopping until the end.

Caryl worked as an auction clerk, an Avon Lady and at the Kellwood hosiery factory; but her favorite position was serving as a Campground Host for the Forest Service in the South Hills for 4 years after Bill’s retirement.

Caryl was preceded in death by her husband Bill, her daughter in law Vickie McClymonds (David), her parents, and her sister Gwendolyn. Caryl is survived by her sons William (Linda), Michael, David, and Rocky (Lori). She is also survived by 11 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.

Caryl resided at the Brookdale Assisted Living Facility in Twin Falls for five years preceding her death and the family would like to thank the staff at Brookdale for the loving care that they provided for her.
