Mom served in the Ogden LDS Temple for many years. That was one of her most loved highlights of her life. She held many church callings the last one was that of Sunday School greeter. They loved her and still expect her to walk in and greet the class. She was also a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (DUP).

She loved bowling and bowled with a perfect game (300). She always enjoyed the calls and visits from her family and friends, especially the little grandchildren. She made beautiful crocheted blankets for baby blessings. During the last months of her life, the greatest highlights were her weekly trips to lunch with her sister and brothers and games of Yahtzee with her sister.
