On March 7, 2018 our “Angel Mother” finally earned the wings she had been waiting for and joined beloved family and friends in a heavenly celebration.

She grew up happily in Salt Lake City with three handsome and protective brothers, Rulon H (Bunny), David and Calvin. She attended Bryant Jr. High, graduated from East High and the University of Utah. After graduation she taught typing at the U, (125 wpm was a slow day for her.)
