Dora Theresa Rush Sanders- born 11/20/41- passed away on November 5, 2013, at her home in Logan, Utah, after a five year courageous battle against cancer.

Theresa was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and faithfully served in many church callings. Two sons, one daughter, and one grandson have served LDS missions, and one grandson is currently serving. Her family and the gospel have always been her strength and foundation.
