Marie Jeanette Warriner Durst, 64, of Ashton, passed away Wednesday, October 2, 2013 at the Ashton Living Center. She was the first born to Lester Warriner and Marie Kilian Warriner on July 7, 1949 in Sunnyside, WA. Jeanette was the oldest of four children, two brothers and one sister.

On May 1, 1971 she married Richard Ray Durst of Ashton, ID. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to Ashton, Idaho. On May 10, 1976, they welcomed their first born and only son, Aaron Michael Durst. On May 27, 1986 they welcomed their second child and only daughter, Kristina Marie Durst.

Unfortunately, Jeanette was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at a way too early age. Finding optimism in all of life's challenges and obstacles was a strong suit of Jeanette. In spite of her illness, Rich and Jeanette spent many years traveling all over the country and meeting many new friends. Many people throughout the years benefitted from her compassion and ability to find the silver lining with her endless smiles and laughter.

She is survived by her husband Richard, son Aaron and his wife Mary, daughter Kristina, brothers Dale(Cindy) Warriner, Cecil (Freda) Warriner, sister Carol Huntley, and sister-in-law Karen (Dan) Lords.

She was proceeded in death by her mother, Marie Kilian Warriner.

Although she was very much loved and will be sorely missed, heaven received an Angel and she will certainly keep them on their toes.
