Sheron Musgrave

Sheron Bitton Musgrave

January 9, 1934 ~ May 9, 2018

She was the “it” girl of their class, so he was too shy to ever approach. She took a comb from his pocket. The next day she was waiting for him on the stairs. She held out the comb and asked, “Will you go to the girl’s dance with me?” From there, a fairytale romance to last a lifetime, was set into motion...

Our sweet mother, Sheron Bitton Musgrave, died just as she lived, surrounded by loved ones, her hand held by her ninth-grade sweetheart, Tom Musgrave. The couple married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on May 28, 1953--the starting point of never-ending devotion and a joint adventure.

Sheron got the ultimate happy surprise when her fourth baby showed up as a mischievous boy/girl pair. She was the tireless mother of five to Julie, Danny, Jed, and twins, Matt and Melanie. This was a job she excelled at, where the true nature of our mother’s soul was best exemplified. Fittingly nicknamed, “The Baby Whisperer,” Sheron could soothe even the fussiest little one. As 18 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren can attest, she had a soothing voice and a comforting presence.

A woman before her time, Mom not only managed our household, but she cultivated a career outside of our home. She was employed at the Weber Adult Probation Department, North Ogden Junior High, and retired from the Weber County Recorder’s Office.

Sheron spent countless hours improving her community with her volunteer group, Ladies of Camenae, and through her various church positions. Even on her weakest days, she’d run a brush through her hair and smear on mascara to keep a lunch date with many of her close high-school friends. Above all else, Mom valued people and the time she spent with them.

She will continue to cheer for us, but now she will be joined by her parents Dee and Leone Bitton and her son Matt.

Though we will miss our wife, mother, sister and grandmother, we know that this is a fairytale with a “happily ever after,” a true prince charming, and that because of our mother’s capacity to love, it’s a story without an ending, just a new kind of beginning.

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at 11 a.m. at Lindquist’s North Ogden Mortuary, 2140 N. Washington Blvd. Friends may visit with family on Monday from 6 to 8 p.m. and Tuesday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the mortuary. Interment, West Weber Cemetery.

We’d like to thank Aspen Ridge Hospice Care and Right at Home Care, particularly Vicki Hopkins for her years of love and tenderness shown toward our family matriarch.
