RUTH EMILY BILLETER BELLISTON

1934-2015

Ruth Emily Billeter Belliston passed away in her sleep on August 22, 2015 after many years of arthritis pain, illness and heart trouble.  She was born November 2, 1934 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Julius C. and Celeste Pingree Billeter.  She grew up on the Avenues of Salt Lake City where she was very active in sports, church and had many friends.  She graduated from West High School and the University of Utah.

She married Richard Farrell Belliston on August 10, 1956 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.  She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Before her illness made it difficult to serve in the church, she worked for several years with the young women of the church.  She loved them and they in turn loved her.

Ruth was always a loving and supportive mother and was beloved by her children as well as everyone else. During her life she worked as a mother, homemaker, bookkeeper, office manager, teacher, and genealogy researcher for her church.

Ruth is survived by her husband Richard; daughter Cyndie (Lynn) Chidester and grandson Micheal, and son Kent.  She is also survived by sisters-in-law Judy Billeter Dunford and Marian Billeter Anderson.

She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings Annamae Angerbauer, J. David (Bud) Billeter, Herald Billeter and Jerald Bellieter.
