Joan Paulich

Mom was born and raised in Fillmore, Utah, to Alanzo and Glenna Brunson. She passed from this earth on the cool morning of Friday, Oct. 12, 2018, with peace and grace as always, at the age of 89 years old.
Now the people of Heaven get to feel the love of our mother.
She taught us the important things in life: unconditional love, to share, be kind, to help others, and a great work ethic.
Mom worked for the government for many years while raising a family of five children. She was always strong and very set in her kind ways. Mom had a lot of struggles as she was a polio victim at age 2, but she never let that get in her way. She even learned to ski, golf and she was the best homemaker around.
She always had a clean home and made Sunday dinners for many years. She always provided for her family with canned vegetables, even when they had already left home and had families of their own.
She is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served as a temple worker for many years until her health started to worsen.
She is survived by her precious children: Glenda Paulich, Jacksonville Beach, Florida; Lana (Clyde) Mckean, Grantsville, Utah; Pat Stevens, Stansbury Park, Utah; Mike (Lisa) Paulich, Provo, Utah; and John Paulich, Grantsville,Utah; brothers, Arvin Brunson, Layton, Utah; Vern (Shirley) Brunson, Meadow, Utah; and Donna (Glayde) Edwards, Meadow, Utah. She is also survived by nine grandchildren, 12 and one-half great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Donald Paulich; one grandson, Paul Frazier Murray; and two sisters and two brothers.
Services will be held Saturday, Oct. 20 at the Grantsville Fifth Ward, 115 E. Cherry St., Grantsville, with a viewing at 10 a.m. and funeral services at 11a.m. Lunch will be served afterward.
