Mom and dad worked hard at raising a loving and caring family that they were very proud of!
Mom loved the Savior and served in various positions in the church. She was a Temple Supervisor, Relief Society President, Primary President and teacher.
Mom loved to sew, cross stitch, family history, drinking Pepsi while going for rides with friends and family.
She worked side by side with dad in operating businesses that they owned. The Dairy Queen in St. George and the Howard Shoe Box in Nephi. She also enjoyed working at 4D's for several years and the friendships that were made. Mom loved the ladies of the Chalice Club and friends in the Riding Club.
