Erma C Dugger

Erma Claudine (Deanie) Dugger April 18, 1937- December 30, 2014 Erma Claudine Moulder was born on April 18, 1937 in Rockport, MO to Max Claude Moulder and Irene Graves. She lived with her loving grandparents Leonard and Myrtle Graves in Toad Hollow, MO. Irene married Charles Lekey and her brother Jack was born. They all decided to move to Twin Falls, ID in 1941 to join family. Soon after, her sister Darlene joined the family. Deanie's uncle Maurice Graves was like a big brother to her. She attended school in Twin Falls and loved to rollers skate. She was in "The Big Show for Polio" at Radio Rendezvous in 1953. As a teenager, she decorated windows at Woolworths on Main St. and worked in the bakery at Albertsons. She attended the Baptist Church on Shoshone St. while growing up. She met Kenneth Dugger at the Walgreens Soda Fountain on the corner of Main and Shoshone in 1953. They were married in 1954 and started a family together. Brenda was born in 1955, Brent was born sick in 1956 and sadly passed away just a few short days later, Daniel was born in 1957 and Douglas was born in 1959. She loved her children with all her heart. They spent a lot of time traveling as she fulfilled the role of Gold Miner's wife to Ken. Deanie was a very hard worker and was loved by everyone she met. She worked in a lot of restaurants and bars over the years and loved to cook. They lived in several states but always came back to Colorado Gulch in Hailey, ID for the summer. Brenda, Dan, and Doug had a lot of fun and many adventures there as children. Deanie and Ken later divorced; but that didn't keep her from having fun and enjoying life. She loved to draw and doodle. She would make her own cards to give to people instead of just buying one from the store. She loved to make things personal and always had a cute joke to tell. Deanie was preceded in death by her grandparents Leonard and Myrtle, her parents Irene and Charles, son Brent and niece Sheri Florence. She is survived by her children Brenda Wellhausen, Dan Dugger, and Doug (Leya) Dugger. Her Grandchildren Rochelle (Marden) Wellhausen-Grimm, Kamp Dugger, Dillon Dugger, Nathan Dugger, Roxanne (Victor) Dugger-Martinez and six great grandchildren. Her brother Jack (Glenda) Lekey and sister Darlene (Mike) Boyd. Her uncle Maurice (Doris) Graves and her aunt Bette Pierson of Longview Washington. She is also survived by her great friend Marge Hoops. We want to thank all of the caregivers and aides that helped her. Link and Hospice Visions did a great job taking care of her throughout the years. A special thanks to Carlene Madalena for being a great friend and trusted helper. We would also like to thank Iris Verret for all the love and support she gave to Deanie. We also want to thank the ST. Lukes' nurses for being so kind and helpful in our time of need. There will be a memorial service at a later date.
