Larry Iverson-----1943-2022


Larry C. Iverson, 78; passed away doing what he loved tinkering on his rigs, on Thursday, February 17th, 2022. 

Larry was born in Moscow to Roy and Doris (Nelson) Iverson on July 23, 1943. Attended Genesee High School graduating in 1961. Soon after he enrolled at Spokane Falls Community College. After finishing college he enlisted in the Army for four years.

In 1968 he married the love of his life Carol Yarnell, from Okanogan, Washington. They made their home on the family farm, where they raised 3 ornery daughters. They were married for 54 wonderful years. 

Larry enjoyed farming, camping, fishing, 4-wheeling, car shows, working on old cars, and spending time with family and friends while enjoying a cold “Bud”.

Larry was proceeded in death by parents Roy & Doris Iverson and sister, Janet Iverson. Larry is survived by his wife Carol; three daughters Jeannie (Troy) Culver, Julie (Monte) Wilson, and Jodie (Jason) Iverson. Four grandchildren Sydney and Dylan Wilson, Kinsey and Ryson Culver. And his dog Molly. He will be greatly missed and loved by his many friends and family. He is now plowing God’s fields with his John Deere Tractor.

The service will take place at 1 p.m. February 24 at Short’s Funeral Chapel in Moscow. Burial service will follow at Moscow City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider donations to Genesee Volunteer Fire Department.

Many thanks to all who reached out to the family. 


Jeff and I went down to the funeral in Moscow, and got to see Jodie and the family.  Mom met us for the service, but Dad wasn't feeling well.  Got to visit with Brandon and Marci and Jillann and Luke after the service and we vowed to get together again under different circumstances, SOON. We went out the farm afterward to see Dad and to get my birthday present: a little red wagon for my garden!

Jodie-Odie...and Elmo

This is Jodie, my very first best friend!  In grade school we wore the little half-heart necklaces:  I wore "BE FRI" and she wore "ST ENDS."  We were built-in school bus seat partners, and on many a ride you would've heard us singing Starship's, "Nothin's Gonna Stop Us" or playing the slapping hand game, "Eenie, Meanie, Gypsaleeni..."  And now, we live in the same town!

Jodie met the kids and I at the Little Garden Cafe and we had a great time reconnecting over bagels and coffee.  Afterwards, she was up for hanging out at Audubon Park so the kids could run through the splash pad.  Jodie's new job may have her traveling north occasionally, so we're hopeful for more shared time together.

Jodie's nieces call her "Auntie Jo-Jo," which I think fits her personality to a T.  (I remember a childhood conversation when Jodie said she didn't think she'd ever be a grandma, because "who's ever heard of a 'G'ma Jodie'"?!?)  Later that night, as we were saying prayers, Gracie said, "Wasn't that so nice of Auntie Jo-Jo to spend time with us today?"  Yes, it was!
