Rhea Bodily

Rhea Mary Morgan Bodily

LAYTO N –Rhea Mary Morgan Bodily passed peacefully to be with the Lord in her home on Wednesday, November 19, 2014 at the lovely age of 90 years young, surround and embraced by all her family.

Rhea is preceded in death by her loving husband Phill, her father Earl, mother Hazel, and two sisters.

Rhea was married in the Salt Lake Temple on January 16, 1946 to Phill K. Bodily and enjoyed being married to her sweetheart for an amazing 67 years.

Rhea is lovingly remembered by her three sons; Roy (Pamela), Loy (Victoria) and Dennis (Gail), two daughters; Connie and Cindy, 12 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.

Rhea was born in Layton, Utah on September 10, 1924 to Earl and Hazel Morgan. Rhea would have graduated from Davis High School in 1940’s, but like many farming family’s she had to forgo school to help take care of the farm. During her later teenage years she worked at the Clearfield Cannery.

When war time came and the soldier boys were deployed, she did what any red blooded American Woman did and served at Hill Air Force Base as a postal deliver, delivering documents by bicycle, and also worked at the Freeport Center putting the ration cans together to send to the Soldiers Boys.

During the rest of her life she had the explicated honor of being a wife, a mother raising five children and the most sweetest and down to earth, understanding grandmother and friend! You could always tell grandma anything and she would always tell you she loved you and then tell you her words of wisdom; it didn’t matter if it felt good to hear or not for she knew she loved each and every one enough to tell them the truth; always followed by “I Love You Very Much!” and a kiss on the cheek.

Rhea loved family get-togethers, crocheting, fishing, gardening and flowering (except those” bitchen weeds”), long drives with Phill, practical jokes, and 23 years snowbirding in Arizona, and loved going to the Picture Show , she also enjoyed camping with her family up at Strawberry.
