Alice Griffiths

Alice Harris Griffiths '' Nana''

Our dear Mom decided she wanted to spend Valentine''s Day with her sweetheart, so she quietly slipped away Saturday February 14, 2009. Although we will miss her so much, it makes us smile to know she is with our Dad again.

Alice Harris was born December 15, 1919 in Richmond, Utah to William Harris and Iris Hendricks. She met her future husband, Budd L. Griffiths, in high school where they both played in the band. They were married in the Logan Temple on August 27, 1940 and spent the next 67 years together until Dad died in November of 2007. Together they had three children.

Mom was an example of love and service to our family. As time went on we came to realize how much she did for us and how much she loved each one of us. She rejoiced with us in our successes and strengthened us during our trials. She was everything a mother could be. She gave service to others her whole life. Mom was an active member of the LDS Church and served as a Relief Society President, MIA President and Jr. Sunday School Coordinator for many years. She loved the gospel and had a strong testimony. Mom and Dad had many opportunities to travel the world with dear friends and family. One of her favorite places to be was at the family cabin, Cottonwood, in Wyoming. She belonged to several clubs and made friends that lasted her lifetime. She particularly loved her home and good neighbors. We as a family appreciated all the love and kindness they constantly showed to Mom, especially after Dad died. She got her wish to stay in her home and be near her neighbors. Mom loved to do yard work, keep a clean house and go shopping. Mom, we will miss you with all our hearts. We love you and thank you for being such a wonderful example to us all.

Alice is survived by her three children Brent (Sue, deceased), Suzanne (Wally) Fowler and Janet (Jerie) Davis. She is also survived by nine grandchildren Julie, Alan, Brian, Carrie, Brad, Paula, Lorri, Cami and Cindi. She will also be missed by her 29 great grandchildren who loved her so much. She is also survived by her brother Burton (Vivian) Harris and many nieces and nephews. Alice was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her sister Helen White and her brother Bill Harris.
