Obituary for Jackie Hitz Daniel – East Idaho News
Jackie Hitz Daniel, 80, peacefully passed away on Friday, Dec. 20, 2024, in Moscow, Idaho. She was born Nov. 23, 1944, in Shelley, Idaho to Jack Hitz and Coy Peck Hitz and was the oldest of four children.
She graduated from Idaho Falls High School in 1963 and married Don Moore that year. Their marriage produced four children. She was married to Garry Daniel from 1983 until his passing in 2010.
Jackie worked for decades in bookkeeping and administrative support roles, with many years spent in medical offices in Idaho Falls and Rexburg. She was an avid bowler in her earlier years. She also enjoyed crocheting, with dozens of babies being recipients of the softest blankets ever.
Jackie is survived by her brother Phil (Kathy) Hitz of South Jordan, Utah, son Dennis (Tina) Moore of Boise, daughter Trish (Steve) Poulos of Idaho Falls, daughter, Kristy (Jason) Mayer of Genesee, daughter-in-law Sydney Moore of Los Osos, California, 16 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, brothers Noel Hitz and Paul Hitz, and son, Darin Moore.
Graveside services will be held in Idaho Falls in 2025, on a date to be determined. The family would like to extend special thanks to the teams at Gritman Medical Center and Aspen Park of Cascadia in Moscow, who provided such loving care in Jackie’s final weeks.

MISSOULA, Mont. — An Idaho Falls angler is back in the Idaho record books after landing a record-setting lake trout at Payette Lake.
Idaho Fish and Game said Dylan Smith caught and released a 43.25-inch lake trout on May 2, setting a new state catch-and-release record for the species. The fish surpassed the previous record of 42 inches.
The catch marks Smith’s second appearance in Idaho’s record books. He previously held the state catch-and-release lake trout record after landing a trophy fish in 2018 before that mark was later broken.
According to Fish and Game, Payette Lake has become one of Idaho’s premier lake trout fisheries thanks to years of management efforts aimed at improving both lake trout and kokanee populations.
Pride Month looks different this June along Boise’s Harrison Boulevard, where a long-standing tradition of hanging Pride flags on lamp posts has been put on hold after a new state law restricted which flags can be flown on government property.
For several years, Pride flags lined lamp posts along Harrison Boulevard in Boise’s North End neighborhood. But Idaho House Bill 561, signed by Gov. Brad Little in March, restricts which flags can be flown on government property, including the City of Boise’s Harrison lamp posts.
In response, a group of neighbors formed Pride North End and launched a distribution effort to help residents show support from their own front yards. The group has been making Pride flags and yard signs available to people who want to display them at home.
“I thought that I would…be a personal example of ‘yes, this is what I do.’ This is what I believe in,” said Edna Schochat, a North End resident.
Pride North End has already distributed more than 900-yard signs and 250 flags. The group’s original donation goal was around $2,000 to order 100 flags and 200 yard signs, but it has exceeded that GoFundMe goal, reaching $10,000 worth of donations.
The group plans to continue holding public flag and sign distributions through the end of the month.
“We cannot just say something without doing something that proves that we mean what we say,” Schochat said.
Pride North End said any leftover funds after materials are distributed will go to local LGBTQ+ nonprofits. A link to the group’s GoFundMe can be found here.
