Her career with the phone company started in Missouri and continued in Utah with Mountain Bell. She retired after 29 years.

Mom and Dad enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and getting together with family. She loved playing cards with friends.

The family would like to thank the staff of Mount Ridge Memory Care South Ogden, with special thanks to Michael Dickens, CNA for all of their love, support and care they gave to our mother and family. Also to Intermountain Homecare and Hospice staff who helped us through this tough time.
