She was a very dedicated visiting teacher. With her husband, she served in the office of the Jordan River Temple for 3 years. Mom loved to visit with family, friends and neighbors. She was a great listener. One of her greatest joys was being with her family and supporting and attending their various activities that they were involved in.

She was always sweet and kind and willing to serve others. We love her and will miss her greatly.
