Mom especially loved traveling with her daughter and son. They were fortunate to travel on several cruises together. She loved spending time at Bear Lake and their summer home near Flaming Gorge. She dearly loved her two tiny poodles, C.C. and Mindy. During basketball season she could be found in front of the television cheering for the Utah Jazz.

Our sincere thanks for the loving care extended to our mother by Millcreek Hospice and Cottonwood Place. "We will miss you, Mom!"
