Sweet Grandma Ruth

My sweet Grandma passed away January 18th just two days shy of her 91st birthday.
My grandma had been active all of her life and was there for many of the special times in my life. My wedding, graduations...
And after the birth of all 3 of my girls.

She was smart, classy, kind, and a lot of fun!

We loved taking the great grandkids up to her house on Halloween to show off their Halloween costumes,and spending the holidays were her.
She was a fun grandma and a good sport. Posing for many a riduculous picture with a smile and shake of her heading saying "Oh you kids."



In her 90 years she accomplished much. Just a few things of note:
  • She was Student Body President Officer and Class Valedictorian
  • She graduated from Utah State University
  • She served three missions with my grandpa; New England States and Canada Mission, Boston, Massachusetts, and Sofia, Bulgaria
  • She gardened, crocheted, sewed, and knew how to stretch a dollar
  • She had 48 grandchildren and 91 great grandchildren (with 6 on the way)




My grandma was a great example of service, love of family, and testimony of Jesus Christ. I love her, miss her and am so glad she is back with her sweetheart :)
