Mom was an avid BYU football fan and loved going to the games. She enjoyed four wheeling, baking, vacationing, snowmobiling with her husband, fireworks, and most of all spending time with her family. She always put her family first.
Mom had the best sense of humor that could make anyone laugh. Her sarcasm and light heartedness helped others focus on the positive things of life. She had a gift of uplifting all around her just by being in her presence.

Mom showed compassion to everyone she knew. She always thought of how she could make someone's day better and showed a genuine interest in the well- being of others. This spirit of compassion poured out in her various church callings and drew in an innumerable amount of friends.

She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend and was loved by all who knew her.

Preceded in death by her parents and her eternal companion Edward. Survived by her children: Brent (Emiko), David (Rachel), Susan, Christine (Jeremy), Michael (Allyson), and her ten wonderful grandchildren.
