Mom was an excellent homemaker, seamstress, quilter, and crocheter. She quilted the most beautiful quilts and many were recipients of her quilts. She loved crocheting and you could always find her with a bag full of yarn working on small projects, most commonly hot pads, wash cloths, and doilies.
A devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she loved serving the Lord and held many callings such as Cub Scout Leader, Primary, Relief Society, and Young Women, where she was the Girl’s Camp director for many years. She was also a member of The Daughters of Utah Pioneers for many, many years.
