Shyrle Kramis Obituary

Shyrle Emma Kramis Shyrle Emma Kramis, born Shirley Emma Parker to Clyde and Dora Parker in Great Falls, Mont., Nov. 6, 1921, quietly followed the foot steps of her eldest daughter, Karol and her brothers Allen and Bud to her next experience of time on Feb. 10, 2009 with a serene smile of contentment. Rosary will be recited at 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 12, 2009 at St. Mary's Catholic Church. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m., Friday, Feb. 13, 2009 at St. Mary's Catholic Church. Services are under the direction of Cloverdale Funeral Home. Before slipping away, she, her husband and children reminisced about her early years in Hamilton, Mont. where she worked for the US Public Health Service at the Rocky Mountain Laboratory before the war. Her first foray out of Hamilton took her to San Francisco in 1942 where she worked at the Examiner. She married fellow Hamiltonian Robert (Bob) Reinbold in Marfa, Texas on February 6, 1943, and their only son Theodore Michael was born in Roswell, N.M. Just six months later Bob was lost in an Air Force training exercise near Bryan, Texas on April 26, 1944. Shyrle and her infant son returned to Hamilton, where she renewed her acquaintance with Casper (Cap) Kramis after he returned from the war. They married on May 20, 1946, and welcomed Keith and Karol into the world before moving to Turlock, Calif. in 1950. Marc and John joined the family and they packed everyone into a Ford station wagon pulling a 12 foot trailer, and moved to Guadalajara, Mexico in 1955. After a brief stay they decided to make Boise, Idaho their permanent home in January 1956 where daughter Joli and son Todd were born. Among her recreational interests, Shyrle learned to fly an airplane in 1961. She was a life long bridge enthusiast and fearless traveler, visiting nearly every country in Europe, the Middle East, North and Central America as well as Australia and New Zealand. A woman of tireless devotion to husband, family and friends, Shyrle also volunteered in countless church and community service groups including the American Legion, St. Mary's Catholic Church, the Miss Idaho Pageant, Idaho Girl's State Convention, St. Alphonsus Auxiliary and St. Vincent DePaul. The friends and family of Shyrle Emma Parker Reinbold Kramis, her brother Tave, grandchildren: Jenna, Ben, Maggie, Peter, Justin, Matthew, Bethany, Kimberly, Leslie, Nathan, Jessica, Justin, Michael, Zachary, Aaron, Polly, Sarah, J.D., Ian, Justin, Luke and Peter; and great-grandchildren: Reagan, Logan, Cason, Emma, Dylan and Ethan; rejoice in their good fortune of knowing her, and commend her to her next life with praise and adulation.

You are and were the best grandma anyone could ask for. Always loving, kind, and made the best orange jello salad (with grated carrots and raisins)! I remember as a kid loving the TV room and the toy closet you set up for your grandkids. Also the formal living room with the closet full of your fur coats, fancy hats and purses. I fondly remember every part of your house including the bathroom next to your bedroom with the huge photo of Tom Selleck. You were one of a kind Grandma Shyrle. I'm glad I get this reminder to acknowledge you each year, although you are with me all the time in love and memories.

I love you, mama. You are the best mama a son could ever hope for. You are always thinking about us, and never about yourself. Your favorite thing to do was to make a loving, peaceful, abundant life for your children, husband and extended family and friends. You are the best mama. I love you and thank the Holy Father for you. I know you are in the Lord´s care which makes me happy.

You are now "home" with my mom Karol and brother Justin. I miss you. I miss being pen pals with you. I miss visiting you in ID and having you share stories about your life with my mom. Thank you for inspiring me to be the best version of myself I can be.

I miss her daily, still...

...but the Word of God holds the key to the comfort I enjoy each day. His Word states that one day we will all be changed, and we will all be together again...first, those who sleep now, and then those of us who remain.

Though my mother sleeps, and linear time for my dearest mother has stopped, it goes on for all of us who remain. And with each passing day, I know the fact of the matter is that we are all gettting that much closer to hearing "the trumpet of the Lord" ourselves...I, for one, look forward to hearing it LIVE.

...until that time, give like there is no tomorrow. This is the only chance you get, make it count like she did.

I miss you and think of you often. Thank you for making sure that I knew that I was loved and belonged to the Kramis family even though my mother Karol went to heaven long before you joined the Lord. I look around my home at the momento's that you passed onto me and I remember the good times spent with you as a child and then the few times I saw you as an adult. I feel blessed to have yours and Grandpa's blood in my veins. I am a better person for having you in my life and I miss you terribly. I know you and my mom are together again and I am happy for that and look forward to the time I get to join in the fun! I will live my life to the fullest extent I can until that day comes. I am blessed in this lifetime....and will be in the next.....

Mother went to be with the Lord almost one year ago (2/10/2009). I just want to re-thank you for being there for me and all of us. Your memory has not waned but continues to comfort even today. Thank you Jesus for your most wonderful gift.

Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints! Rev 15:3

The thing Mom wanted to know from me before she died was, " I hope it's like I think... that everyone I (have had to say goodbye to) will be there- and it's good." I told her that it will be, and that a second later I'll be there too.

Mom loved God, Dad and all of us; but her "Pole Star" was God. She was aware of life's little injustices. A favorite verse of her's was: Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

But she also knew that God would come through for her.
Psalms 27:13-14 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

So she waits. We all miss her, and need someone to boss us around. You know she'd tell us that it's bad, and "you think it will never get better. you wish you could just go away- but that doesn't help...You think you'll never be happy again. But you will, honey. You will." or, maybe, "buck up!"

If not today, someday we will be happy again. We are just going to have to take care of each other as best we can, and do what we think she'd tell us to do.

1 Corinthians 15:51-55 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, THEN shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

But until then, we'll miss her.

I feel fortunate to have had the chance to share final words with Grandma before she passed away Those words will always belong to the two of us, whatever becomes of us when we leave this life.

To those of us who now survive her -- particularly to my father -- I want to say that I love you dearly, and that I am so profoundly sorry not to be able to be there. Please know that I am thinking of all of you.

With love,
Jenna

My Dearest Mother, Thank you...for life, for your absolute love, for joy,for your indomitable spirit, for your determined faith, for your unobstructed vision. Thank you for holding my hand from the first moment to the last. My heart shall ever be restless until it rests again with you.
Your Sweet Baby

Shyrle is my mother. The best of any possible mother available. I am blessed that the Lord saw fit to grant me 62 years with mom and dad. They are absolutely the best. I praise the Lord daily for His bountiful gift and blessing. We often would jest that I was her favorite, but we both knew that there were no favorites with her. Her mercy, kindness, constant giving to everyone she met. Her love and giving to others had no limits. She would give to others as quickly and abundantly as she would to her extended family.

Proverbs 31:28 says "Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:"

I will miss my weekly calls to her, but am so blessed to know that my mother is in the Lords presence that my sorrow does surely turn to praise and glory to our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Thank you momma, see you soon!

Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers as you continue to celebrate the many memories you have of her. She truly was a special woman in the fullest sense.
