    Jose "Joe" Luis Churruca March 22, 1921 - May 31, 2016 Jose "Joe" Luis Churruca, 95, of Marsing, passed away of natural causes on May 31, 2016, in Nampa, Idaho. Born March 22, 1921 in Boise, Idaho, Joe was the 2nd son of 1st generation Basque imimmigrants, Carmen and Frank Churruca. His early childhood was spent in the Boise Valley area. In 1930 his family moved to Marsing, Idaho. He played high school football and graduated from Marsing High School in 1940. In 1943 he married Elizabeth Ann "Bette" Willin. Together, they were blessed with 4 children. Joe was a life-long Marsing resident, farmer and Black Angus cattle-rancher. He was instrumental in helping establish the Marsing-Homedale Alfalfa Seed Co-op. Joe was received awards from National Cattlemen's Association and won Owyhee County Grassman of the Year. Joe served on the Labor Camp Corp, FHA Committee, and was an active supporter of 4H youth. He loved his family, hunting & fishing. He was a supporter of the M Marsing Disaster Auction and Marsing Senior Center. Mom died in 2002, but Dad continued to live on the farm. They say it takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to help an old person live out his last years as independently as possible. With the help of the village called Marsing, Dad was fortunate to be able to live alone in his own home. He had wonderful neighbors and friends who watched over him. Especially the Senior Center, water aerobics friends and card playing buddies. He is preceded in death by his wife of 58 years, Bette; 2 infant children, Jack and Joyce; two brothers and his parents. He is survived by his children: JoAnn Morrow, Judy Welty, Jennifer (Jim) Barrett and Phillip (Julie) Aranzamendi; 9 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren. A Viewing for Joe will be held on Tuesday, June 7, 2016 from 5:00-8:00 PM with Rosary Recital at 7:00 PM at Flahiff Funeral Chapel, Caldwell.
