Treva June Ward

Treva June Ward, 70, of Burton passed away at her home July 22, 2024 from an accident. Treva was born December 26th, 1953 in Rexburg Idaho to Mark and Jessie Ward.

Treva and her family moved around quite a bit in her younger years. They eventually settled in Hibbard. She attended and graduated from Madison High School. She spent her adult years living in Egin, Rexburg, Hibbard and then Burton.

Treva was always on the go. If she wasn't working at her job at Basic American Foods, where she was employed for 43 years, she was keeping herself with other work or hobbies. She started her own landscaping and painting business, as well as being a distributor of several different products.

Treva made the world a more beautiful place in many ways. Not only with her love for others, but with her hands and talent. If there was sunlight and good weather, you could find her outside, building rock walls, waterfalls or cottages. She traded work for many years at a plant nursery and brought home trees, plants and flowers to fill her property with. She created a magical place for every one of her friends and family to enjoy. Indoors, she would be painting one of her beautiful pieces of artwork or sitting at her

craft table working away on something. In the past few years, she found a new passion of drying herbs, making tinctures, salves, lotions and teas.

The biggest joy in Treva's life was being a mother and Nana. Her children and grandchildren were the light of her life. She loved spending time with each one of them, she loved being goofy and making them laugh or teaching them to paint and garden. Treva loved Christmas and would work extra hard to make it magical for everyone, especially her family. Her house turned into a wonderland of beautiful Christmas trees that she spent countless hours decorating.

Treva was member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She loved the Lord and always made sure her children and grandchildren knew of her faith and testimony.

She is survived by two sisters and a brother; Katie Stacey, Helen Dilmore and Roger Ward. Her four children; Jamie Burnside (Beverley), Jerilee Green (Brian), Donovan Burnside, Cherie Harrison (Christopher), as well as 13 grandchildren and a great-grandbaby on the way. She was preceded in death by her parents Mark and Jessie, brothers Legrande, Gene, Dean, Dennis, Rollo, Elwyn as well as 2 sisters-in-law; Marilyn and Lelia.

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, August 6th at 11:00 Am, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Burton East building 2332 W. 2000 S. Rexburg, ID. The family will meet with friends, Monday evening at Eckersell Funeral home from 6:00-8:00, 101 E. Main St., Rigby, ID. and again on Tuesday morning from 9:30 to 10:45 at the Church.
