Athena Kay Boel
April 11, 1955 – September 1, 2025

It is with deep love and cherished memories that we announce the passing of Athena Kay Boel, who peacefully departed this life on September 1st, 2025, at the age of 70.

Athena was a devoted wife, mother, a beloved grandmother, and a faithful servant of the Lord. She is survived by her husband, four loving children and their spouses, as well as twelve treasured grandchildren who brought her immense joy and pride throughout her life.

Athena found happiness in the simple and beautiful things of life. She had a lifelong love of sewing and quilting — talents she used not only to create beauty but to wrap her family and friends in love, one stitch at a time. Her quilts were more than fabric and thread; they were stories, memories, and heirlooms that will continue to warm generations to come.

One of Athena’s greatest joys was teaching the primary children at church. With patience, kindness, and a deep testimony of the gospel, she taught little hearts to know they were loved by their families, their teachers, and most of all, by their Heavenly Father. Her gentle spirit and unwavering faith were felt by all who knew her.

Family was the center of Athena’s world. She loved unconditionally, gave generously, and celebrated each child and grandchild’s accomplishments with heartfelt pride. Her home was a place of laughter, learning, and love filled with the smell of home-cooked meals, the hum of her sewing machine, and the soft rustle of fabric under her skilled hands.

Athena will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Though our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in the legacy of love she leaves behind and the assurance that families are forever.

We love you, Mom. We love you, Grandma. Until we meet again.

A funeral service will be held on Friday September 5th, 2025, at noon at the Malad 6th Ward Church 400 N 200 W Malad City, Idaho, with a visitation prior from 10:30 to 11:30.
