Cara Marie Bosworth, known affectionately as Cara to her family and friends, passed away peacefully on January 2, 2025, Born on December 6, 1963, in the serene town of Salmon, Idaho, Cara carried the spirit of her mountain hometown throughout her life, embodying its strength and natural beauty. Cara’s life was one marked by a profound love for her family.
She is survived by her beloved children, David Richard Paul New, Wesley Philip Glen New, Michael Troy New, Andrew James New, and her daughter Stephanie New. Her legacy continues to bloom in the lives of her six adoring grandchildren, each of whom brought immense joy and pride to her heart. A woman of sharp wit and intelligence,
Cara had a passion for puzzles and mind games that kept her mind sharp and her days full of challenge and fun. Her love for classic TV shows like “The Golden Girls,” “Matlock,” and “Murder, She Wrote” was more than a pastime; it was a reflection of her appreciation for storytelling and the simpler pleasures in life.
Cara’s role as a wife and caretaker was one she embraced with every fiber of her being. Her love for her children was unwavering, and she instilled in them values of strength, independence, and the importance of family. Cara’s approach to life was as straightforward and no-nonsense as they come, a trait that her family and friends admired and sometimes found amusingly stubborn. Yet, it was this very steadfastness that made her the rock upon which her family could always rely.
Her independence was a defining characteristic, one that she cultivated from a young age and maintained throughout her life. Cara’s ability to stand on her own two feet was an inspiration to those who knew her, and her self-reliance was a quality she sought to pass on to her children and grandchildren. An animal lover with a big heart, Cara’s compassion knew no bounds. She had an innate ability to care for all living creatures, extending her nurturing spirit to the many pets that were fortunate enough to be part of her family over the years.
Her kindness was a beacon of light that drew people and animals alike to her side. Cara’s passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who loved her, yet her spirit remains a guiding force. Her laughter, love, and unwavering commitment to her family will be deeply missed, but the memories she created will continue to provide comfort and joy to those she leaves behind. Her story does not end here, for it is carried forward in the lives of her family and the many people she touched.
We honor her life by living out the lessons she taught us: to love fiercely, to stand strong, and to face the world with a no-nonsense attitude and a heart full of compassion. Cara’s journey through life was as beautiful and complex as the puzzles she so loved to solve. In her memory, we gather not in mourning, but in gratitude for the time we were privileged to share with her. May her soul rest in eternal peace, as we hold her close in our hearts forever.
