Our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend returned home to reunite with her sweetheart on October 15, 2022 surrounded by her family in the comfort of her home. She was petite in size and stature but her love and kindness could fill a room. She touched many lives whom simply knew her as “Grandma”. She dedicated her life to serving others and did it with grace, her door was always open. Her faith was strong and she was a devout member of the LDS church.
