“Mommy”
Our beautiful and loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend slipped into eternity September 20th, 2014 at the tender age of 32. She returned to her Heavenly Father due to complications of metastatic melanoma. She was born September 23rd, 1981 to Jerry and Nancy Smith in Salt Lake City, Utah. She graduated from Olympus High School where she was active in cheerleading and other extracurricular activities. She attended the University of Utah and is a true Ute fan. She married her best friend Matthew Lance Morton in the Salt Lake Temple for time and all eternity on May 18th, 2002. That marriage was blessed with 5 beautiful children – Abigail (11), Porter (9), Bridger (7), Tate (4) and Grayson (1). Being a mother to these children was her greatest joy in life.
Some of her favorite things were being a wife and mother, Disney Land, roller coasters, decorating her home, her camera, her Mac computer, the color yellow and Girls’ Night Out! Above all, she was a valiant daughter of God. She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and always served faithfully in her callings. The most precious gift that she leaves to her children is her strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
