ROY — Naomi Parrish stood in the cold, a candle in her hand and a hymn on her lips, as she looked up at her former teacher on the last night of her life.

Unbeknownst to the about 70 people who gathered outside Nancy Anderson’s home for a candlelight vigil Tuesday night, she would die Wednesday morning after her almost yearlong and third battle with cancer.

She knew the dozens of people outside her home through work, church and the community.
