Effie Joe

Today, we mourn the passing of a cherished family member, Effie Joe. Born on November 17, 1954, in Burley, Idaho, Effie grew up with her sister, Utana Hale. Throughout her life, Effie found joy in various activities, including puzzles, crosswords, and collecting cookie jars. Her passion for dolphins and her love for her children were evident in her life. Those who knew Effie would describe her as hardheaded and grouchy, but also incredibly loving. Despite her sometimes gruff demeanor, she had a kind heart. Effie brought immense joy to our lives. She was always willing to lend a helping hand whenever needed. Her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her. We are profoundly saddened by this loss. Our hearts go out to those close to her. We remember the beautiful person she was and find solace in knowing that she is now at peace. Rest in peace, Effie. You will be dearly missed by all who knew you. Effie is greeted in heaven by her daughter, Sada, and her husband, Parley. She is remembered by her children, Angel McKinney, Cammy Zabala, Tony Welsh, Michelle Joe, and Tonya Cook. Her grandchildren include Camille Hale, Angelina Miers, Rose Watkins, Victoria Watkins, Shamara Zabala, Josie Zabala, Cameron Zabala, Latisha Zabala, Christopher Zabala, Marissa Joe, and her great-grandchildren, Makahlia Watkins, Marcello Watkins, Renegade and Raeyburn Watkins, Katana Cook, Carter Watkins, Anthony Watkins, Kody Watkins, Jose Negrete, Adrian Negrete, Angel Negrete, Janessa Miers, Geraline Miers, and her one and only great-great-grandchild, Akari White.
