He had been in precarious health for many years but never let it interfere with his love for Montana and outdoor sports. Joe was born on March 18, 1921, in the old Baxter Hospital in Libby. A few days earlier his father Lew Baenen brought his mother Hattie by rowboat across the Kootenai River from Jennings for the trip to the hospital. When Joe was 10 days old he made the trip back to the family home at Jennings. He received his education at Jennings and in Libby. When he was 16 years old he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps, but when he attempted to sign up for another six months his true age was discovered and he was sent home. A short time later Joe again falsified his age and joined the U.S. Army to serve as a medic at Fort Lewis. Once again his age was discovered and he received an honorable discharge. Joe married Kitty Ruth Baeth Matteson on Jan. 1, 1942, and they had two children, Joe and Loretta. In 1944 Joe joined the U.S. Navy, serving until 1946, when he returned to Libby to work for J. Neils Lumber Company and later for W.R. Grace, until retiring in 1980. For several years after retiring, Joe and Ruth lived at their home on McGregor Lake. Joe was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Bill, Ray and Ben, and sisters Edna Baenen and Dolly Holmgren. Survivors include Ruth, his wife for 57 years; daughter Loretta Cook and her husband Chuck, Salt Lake City, Utah; son Joe and his fiancee Lillian Martin, Libby; six grandchildren, Alan Keefe and his wife Robyn; Dawn Burdette and her husband Jeffrey, and Chris Keefe and his wife DeAnn, all of Salt Lake City; Brett Keefe and his wife Laura, St. George, Utah; John Baenen, Cordova, Alaska; Amy Baenen, Libby; 13 great-grandchildren and nieces Dorothy Post, Shirley Nicholls and Mary Baenen. Funeral services will be conducted at 11 a.m. Saturday at Christ Lutheran Church followed by military services at the City of Libby Cemetery. Pallbearers will be his six grandchildren. Should friends desire to do so, memorials may be made to Kootenai Winter Sports or St. John's Lutheran Hospital. Arrangements are under direction of Nelson & Vial Funeral Home.
