Mom was born January 26, 1927 in Escalante to Lovell Monroe and Nelda Haycock Twitchell the second child in the family. She married her eternal sweetheart, LoRell Munson on March 6, 1950 in the Manti Temple.

Mom was a wonderful homemaker and mother. Of all her accomplishments she exemplified many virtues including: love, honesty, morality, civility, learning, forgiveness, mercy, thrift, industry, gratitude, optimism and faith. These virtues healed our hearts and homes. Her greatest desire was that her posterity and all she came in contact with knew she had a testimony of the Savior, Jesus Christ and His Gospel. Mom mastered her struggles in life with dignity and an abiding faith in the Savior. She loved others with a pure love.
