Leda Duncan Huff Obituary (1930 - 2014)

Leda Duncan Huff born January 16, 1930 in Columbia, Utah, the daughter of James Chapman Duncan & Dora Pollock. Married Ray Leon Huff on September 11, 1950 in Salt Lake City. On September 14, 2014 her sweetheart came and took her away for her last dance. Leda graduated from West High School in SLC. Married the love of her life and followed him around the country while he served in the Navy. Their first home was in Kearns, Utah where all of her children graduated from Kearns High except Mel. He moved to Phoenix when our father relocated there for work. Leda wasn't about to move to that desert country until dad gave her an ultimatum. She ended up loving the Phoenix area and swore to never return to Salt Lake. She loved to crochet, lived to dance and travel, and spent many hours swimming laps to keep in shape. She loved her family and was always willing to get together, especially if it was camping in the mountains. You could always find her reading a book when things were quiet. When she could no longer live on her own because of health issues we brought her back home to Salt Lake. For the last year she has loved living at Legacy of Taylorsville where the staff loved her as they treated her like a queen. We would like to thank the people at the West Jordan Senior Center for the love, care and entertainment that was provided for the last 5 years. It gave our mother a reason to get up in the morning. She told everyone she came in contact with that it's the only place in town you can get lunch and transportation for $2.50 a day! Survived by her children Edith or Didi Martin (Lynn), Vicki Christiansen (Dave), Ray Jr. or Lonny (Cathryn), Melvin Jay (Dian). Her siblings, James Chapman Duncan Jr., Marilyn Hartley, Robert Lowell Duncan, Arlen Verl Duncan. She has 13 grandchildren, 34 great grandchildren and 2 great great grands.
