They took great pride in their farmlands, cattle, sheep and beautiful quarter horses. Mother was a wonderful homemaker and always had a hot meal ready for the ?hired hands? who worked for them. She loved to spend time doing yard work, and spent countless hours grooming it to perfection. There they raised four children, sons, Owen, Allan, Ray, and one daughter, Jeane. In their later years they moved to Logan where mother worked as a ?pink lady? at the Logan Regional Hospital and at her son Allan?s health food store Shangri-la.

She found great joy and comfort from the church teachings. Mother?s greatest pleasures in life were her family. She enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren. She always was devoted to making life easier and better for her family and was very unselfish when it came to her children.
