    Notes:

    Died:
    Pearl Ruth Carstensen, known to many of us as Toot, was born on August 4th 1932 in Carey Idaho. She was the second of four children. Toot loved to tell stories of her childhood. Many of the stories involved her older brother George and the trouble that the two of them would get into.

    Pearl's family moved to Logan Utah when she was a teenager. Pearl was attending Utah State University when she met a fellow student, Bob Carstensen. After a short courtship, they were married on March 5th 1950 and celebrated their 60th anniversary March 2010. Bob and Pearl were sealed for eternity on May 5th 1967.
    Bob and Pearl have four children, Sherri, Robin, Ron, and John and lived in several cities throughout the northwest including Logan, Caldwell, Walla Walla, Yakima, Preston, Boise, and Olympia. Their biggest adventure was their move to Anchorage Alaska where they made many long lasting friends. In 1994 they moved back to Boise which they have always considered home.

    Pearl was a stay at home Mom who loved to sew and make crafts. She was a beautiful seamstress and often provided her daughters with their drill team costumes and gorgeous formals for their high school dances. When all the kids entered school, Pearl went to work as an Office Manager for Davis Meat Packing Plant.

    In the late 60s, Bob and Pearl built a cabin on their lot in Cascade on West Mountain. This was Pearl's favorite spot in the world. She spent many hours with her children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends there. She was always taking walks and would have all the kids in tow looking for frogs, picking wild flowers, carving their names in trees, singing her silly songs and other various activities. Although she suffered from painful arthritis for over 30 years, she did not let it slow her down.

    So, you might wonder how she came to be known as Toot. Sherri had returned home from Hawaii shortly before Pearl's first grandson Shane was born. Sherri had brought her a mug that said Tua Tua (pronounced To To) which is Hawaiin for grandmother. She loved that name and decided that she would become Tua Tua to her grandkids. I don't think she ever thought that we would all shorten it to Toot but she loved that too. In fact, during her recent stay at Treasure Valley Life Care, she insisted that the staff call her Toot.

    Pearl had a great love for her church and her faith. Toot loved her family and has been an outstanding role model to many of us on strength of character and how to be a good and understanding wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt. Pearl has made an everlasting impression on those of us who knew her.

    We will miss her terribly but she will forever remain in our hearts.

    Funeral services will be held Saturday, Nov 26, at 10:00 am at the LDS church located at 190 S. Locust Grove, Meridian, Idaho. A visitation will be held one hour prior to service. Private committal services by Bowman Funeral Parlor of Garden City.
