  Justine (Dusty) G. Bennett, 85, died peacefully Sept. 11, 2020, in Caldwell, ID. 

Dusty was born on April 3, 1935 in Ontario, OR to Rowena and Laurence Kreager. She rode her horse to grade school at Kingman Kolony and graduated from Adrian High School in 1954.

In retirement they spent their time traveling and collecting antiques, spending their winters in Quartzsite, AZ and summers in Adrian.  In 2009 they moved their primary residence from Adrian to their current home in the Fruitland area.
