Beverly Ann Farrer Gay Obituary (1930 - 2021)

“To know her, is to love her.” Beverly Ann Farrer Gay, 91, passed away April 13, 2021, surrounded by close family. She was the first-born daughter of six children to Lou and Ellen Ward Farrer. She was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, March 13, 1930. She grew up in Salt Lake and attended Granite High. She married Arnold Faust Gay, June 23, 1949, and together they had two daughters, Lynette (Rusty) Lloyd and Lisa (Gabe) Bourgoin, and one son, Albert Curtis (Michelle) Gay. Those children have given her the blessing of many grandchildren, greatgrandchildren and a great greatgrandchild. Arnold and Bev spent 45 years together until Arnold passed away in 1994. They enjoyed boating at Lake Powell and fishing in Pinedale, Wyoming with their family and friends. She learned the trade of meat wrapper through her extended family of meat cutters. She had a career in that field for over thirty years. Beverly was a hard worker all her life. She is a Master Gardner and maintained the most beautiful yard in Murray boasting that weeds were not allowed. She crocheted many masterpieces including tablecloths, doilies, hats, blankets, scarves and hundreds of washrags. She also swam early in the morning five days a week for 17 years after she retired. In 2000, Dominic Motta, a lifelong friend, became a wonderful companion and changed her life for the better until his passing in 2015. Those who know her are drawn to the Light in her life. At an early age, she accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior. She will tell you she belongs to Jesus and can’t wait to see Him. She has suffered from dementia that has robbed her of many of her joys here on earth. It could not, however, rob her of her contagious personality that endeared her to everyone she met. Mom, we love you with all our hearts and can’t wait to be with you again. Welcome home. We want to thank Breanna and the many kind and caring staff and residents at Alta Ridge Assisted Living. In these last few years, they were her extended family. A special thank you to Heather, our excellent nurse and care giver at Canyon Home Care & Hospice during these last few days. A graveside service will be held Saturday, April 17, at 11:00 at Murray City Cemetery. Following the service, friends and family may join us at the home of Rusty and Lynette Lloyd. In lieu of flowers, let someone special know how much they mean to you.
