Doris Marie Stenquist Farnsworth, loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed away October 29, 2011. Doris was born November 21, 1927, in Tremonton, Utah, one of six children born to Erick A. and Elizabeth Marie Sedell Stenquist.

She married Lowell Betenson Farnsworth in the Logan Temple on August 6, 1946. He died April 24, 2000. They had 2 children: Lowell Craig (Rosalyn) Farnsworth, North Ogden, Utah, and Christine (Jack) Ford, North Salt Lake, Utah.

Doris was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served faithfully in many callings and had a strong and abiding testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She was the consummate example of charity and Christ-like love and acceptance.

She made homemaking an art form, cooking delectable meals and creating a lovely home and beautiful yard. She had wonderful holiday celebrations for her family. We will remember and appreciate those loving memories. Above all she was a devoted mother and grandmother.

Doris resided at Legacy Village Memory Care in Taylorsville, Utah. The family express their gratitude to those who cared for Doris with extraordinary care and compassion. We especially would like to thank Alpine Hospice for our mother''s care in her final days. We have the peaceful reassurance that she has now returned to her Heavenly Father and has been reunited with her sweetheart and eternal companion, and her beloved mother and father.
