Dorothy Arave

Dorothy Buck Arave

I, Dorothy Buck Arave, was born January 20, 1930 to Charles Leonard and Edith Saunders Buck.  I passed away on May 17, 2018 in my home surrounded by my family.

I have one brother, Boyd Buck (deceased) and four sisters, Marian Creamer, Donna Thompson (deceased), Marie Johnson (deceased), and Betty Lou Schulze.

I was married to Kenneth C. Arave on May 27, 1947, and Oh! What a posterity we have!  We have five children, Kathleen (Ralph) Avis, Ilene (Dwight) Carey, Len (Carol) Arave, Tracy (Leisa) Arave, and Lynette (Dan) Knighton.

We have 23 grandchildren, 56 great-grandchildren, 13 great-great-grandchildren, and more coming (don’t let me down).  We don’t care how they came into our family – we love all of them.

I love my Heavenly Father and my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  I am grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  I have worked in Sunday School and Mutual.  I was Primary President and worked in Primary for many years.  But my favorite callings were librarian and visiting teaching.

I had a great life and great friends.  So good-bye for now.

Funeral services will be held Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at 11 a.m. at the Sunset 2nd Ward, 220 W. 975 N., Sunset Utah.  Friends may visit with family Monday, May 28, 2018 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Lindquist’s Layton Mortuary, 1867 No. Fairfield Rd., Layton, Utah and Tuesday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the church. Interment, West Point Cemetery.

No flowers, please, Send donations to The Huntsman Cancer Institute at http://huntsmancancer.org/giving/foundation in memory of my granddaughter, Geri Dominguez Muir, and my son-in-law, Richard Ukena, both of whom died of cancer.  That would be appreciated.
