family history research and doing temple work for those family members she found. A recent
goal that she was proud to accomplish was visiting all of the temples in the state of Utah.

lovingly cared for her father for many years after her mother had passed. She spent her career
helping people with financial matters such as insurance, retirement planning, and tax preparation.

on her nieces and nephews, and great-nieces & nephews. She was always there as a “second
mom”, a confidant, a provider of treats, and a friend.

nephews. She also had a love for all things chocolate and all of life’s sweetest treats.
