She has been active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all of her life and has served in many callings. She is a member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers.

Her life was filled with service to others. She always had a handwritten card or letter, and a loaf of homemade bread ready to brighten someone’s day. She will be remembered for her funny jokes and hilarious costumes. She loved to make people laugh!

For 6 1/2 years she has resided with her daughter Kelly, in Sunset, Utah. She was a resident of Sunridge Assisted Living in Roy, Utah, for the last 5 months.
