Larry and Judy Dirks celebrate golden anniversary

April 17, 2011
Larry and Judy Dirks, Bonners Ferry, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary March 6 with a reception at United Methodist Church. They were married February 24, 1961, in Prairie Village, Kansas.

The celebration was hosted by their children, Debra Dirks, Coeur d'Alene, Kevin and Sheryl Dirks, Bonners Ferry, Amy and Lee Nelson, Newman Lake, Washington, Beth and Dean Giffing, Liberty Lake, Washington, and Doug and Lisa Dirks, Bonners Ferry.

Eight of their nine grandchildren were on hand for the event; Casey, Kyle and Michaela Dirks, Coeur d'Alene, Bryce Giffing, Liberty Lake, Ivy Dirks, Bonners Ferry, Derek and Mitchell Nelson, Newman Lake, and Tucker Dirks, Bonners Ferry. Tyler Giffing, a student at Arizona State University, was unable to attend.

The event couldn't be held on their actual anniversary, as the two were in Cama, Galilee, Israel, on that day, renewing the vows they'd taken 50 years before.
