Powell, September 16, 1977 and they were sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.

She was employed for many years at the Davis County Health Department. Beth was actively involved in her church callings. Especially near to her heart was visiting teaching and attending the temple. She was an amazing example of love and kindness to all those around her. She will live in our hearts forever.

Mom was an avid reader who especially loved history. She loved attending plays-especially those of the great grandchildren and Hale Theater performances; her passion was sewing-especially quilting and humanitarian projects, camping, fishing, square dancing, and traveling with her family. When they first moved to LGP they worked out in the gym and then ventured to the water aerobics of which they both loved. Mother then found a 3 wheel bike that became a great mode around the community and her visiting transportation.
