My wife and sweetheart, our mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother passed away on April 8, 2010 in Beaumont, California following a long illness surrounded by her loving family. My sweetheart was born on July 8, 1926 in Westwood, California. She moved to Utah at an early age where we met and started our life together. In 1957 we moved our family to California. She was a homemaker and foster mother to many for most of her life. She loved babies and caring for children. She had many talents that she willingly shared. She was an excellent seamstress, creating many beautiful articles of clothing for family and friends. In her early years she also loved to paint. Later in life she became an active member in the LDS Church and was sealed to her sweetheart in the Jordan River Temple.
