Published: MESA, AZ - Lyle K. Ihns died Saturday, Aug. 25, 2012 in Mesa, Ariz. He donated his body for medical research. Interment will be held in his wife, Boni's hometown, of Elma, Iowa. Services will be held in Lime Springs on Memorial Day weekend 2013. Lyle Keith Ihns was born Dec. 7, 1923, on the family farm north of the bridge in the Old Town of Lime Springs, the son of Herman Fred John and Daisy Maud (Tibbals) Ihns. He attended the rural schools in the neighborhood and learned early to appreciate the joys of the outdoors: the Upper Iowa River, fishing and hunting, and growing things. He began a career as a truck driver, driving semis for various local agribusinesses. An early marriage, to Bessie Foote, ended in divorce. On May 30, 1957, he married Bonita Tidgwell Cook at her parents' farm near Elma. For over 20 years they made their home in Lime Springs where they were active in community activities. Lyle was a member of the Lime Springs Fire Department and Fish and Game Club for many years, and a longtime member of the Lime Springs United Methodist Church. He took great interest in family genealogy and at his assistance prompted Boni's efforts in producing the Ihns family history. He also participated in the 'walking' of Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Lime Springs for the book on that cemetery. In 1979 Lyle and Boni retired to Mesa, Ariz. In Valle Del Oro Park, Lyle was known by all for his interest in park activities. His grapefruit tree was unbelievable. He and Boni saw much of the United States in their motor home and he especially enjoyed trips to Great Britain, Mexico, and San Francisco taken with brother Clarence and his wife Donna and a trip to Hawaii with Lu's family. Lyle had many interests; after health problems ended his hunting and fishing years, he gardened, went camping, developed super cooking and canning skills, and continued the Ihns family passion for card games. He was dedicated to recycling long before it became a national concern and continued these efforts until the last few years when health problems forced him to enter a care facility. Lyle is survived by his wife, Boni; his son: Dave and wife Pam and granddaughters Sarah and Kayla; his daughter: Lu and husband Rex Root and grandson Riley, all of Phoenix; two brothers: Melvin and wife Phyllis of Lincoln, Iowa, Joseph Ermal and wife Ermilee of Cherry Grove, Minn; two sisters-in-law: Ruth Ihns of Harmony, Minn. and Donna Ihns of Lime Springs; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by a sister: Helen and husband Murn Pfremmer; and brothers: Clarence, Harold and Lloyd. Richard Payton, 88
