Alfreda R. Broncho Denny
FORT HALL — Alfreda R. Broncho Denny, 87 passed away Sunday, October 19, 2025 at her home in Fort Hall, Idaho.
Alfreda was born June 13, 1938 in the old hospital in Fort Hall, Idaho, to Simon Broncho and Rosie Martin Broncho.
She spent her life in Fort Hall and attended Stewart and Chemawa boarding schools, where she would constantly run away from, and once made her all the way to Mexico. When she would come home, she would stay with uncle, Grant Martin on the Agency Campus in Fort Hall.
Throughout her lifetime, she was an active member of the Native American Church and at times could be found pulling a double hitter. As recently as a year and a half ago, Alfreda was attending and participating in family sweats. She also was an active Sundancer in her day and during the summers she supported family member and friends at Sundance. Needless to say, Tradition and Culture were an important part of her life.
As a young adult, Alfreda began working at Krakaw’s and M&M farms as a field worker. Then moved on to work for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Social Services as a Shoshoni and Bannock language interpreter. Later she worked as a cook for the Fort Hall Jail and concluded her career at Simplot/Campbell (a global food and agriculture company) as a food processor. She took an early retirement to be a care taker for her older brother.
Alfreda loved to be outdoors, she would go hunting with her brothers and nephews and liked to head up North to Salmon to fish. When she was younger, she and Gingie Edmo would ride and tend to the horses from the Fort Hall Bottoms to Lincoln Creek, she would also serve as the camp cook, while the men folks gathered and trailed cattle. Let us not forget she was an avid hand gamer and would like to take their money at the Festival.
Alfreda is survived by her children, Patrick Broncho, Anthony “Pete” Broncho, Charlie LaDeau and Dolly Gonzalez; her nephew that she raised, Carlos Broncho; grandchildren that she helped raise, Landon Fisher, Bailey Fisher and Kaison Fisher; and grandchildren, Gregory “Jake” (Sara) Broncho , Rodrick Chee, Olivia Broncho, Erica Broncho, Anthony M. Broncho, Megan (Isaac) Cantu, Casey (Patty) Broncho, Forrest (Carla) Broncho, Jordan (Sheryl) Broncho, Jeremy (Jacinta) Broncho, Melina, Mark , Madalaine, Mitchell, Marita, Michael, and Mason Gonzalez.

Edmo, Charles Broncho, Wilford “Hops” Broncho, Loretta Flint and Ernestine Werelus; and grandchildren Alarice “Ali” Broncho and Yvonne “B-Bon” Broncho.
Her life reflected great family values, a framework of love and strong traditional beliefs, kindness, compassion, and accountability that shaped her decisions and interactions with others. She loved family, one of our matriarchs along with her sisters, Leona Houtz (naap), and Delphina Martinez (naap). Her humor and stubbornness were one of a kind and she will be deeply missed.
