Our beloved mother, wife and sister quietly passed away in the comfort of her own home with those she loved nearby. Roena was born in Ashton, ID, and lived most of her life in UT. She attended West High School and earned a Certificate from Secretarial School. She worked as a Nurse's Aide, also for Educator's Mutual Ins. and retired from Utah's Center for the Blind; but her favorite job was being a mother.
