She was born March 26, 1917, to Lewis and Thelma Cornia Buck in the small town of Woodruff, Utah, where she lived most of her life — spending her last few years with her daughter in Riverton, Utah, and her eldest son in Washington Terrace.
Her youth was spent on her father's ranch, full of adventure, mischief and fun.
Later she worked in the hay field alongside her father, helping provide a living for her family. She grew into a beautiful young woman who "caught" the eye of a handsome young man, and they were married in the Salt Lake Temple.
The children from this union, Thelma May, David Lynn and John Buck, were welcomed and loved. She provided a warm, loving and fun home for her husband and children. She loved and took great joy in being a wife and a mother.
She was active in the LDS church and served as she was called. Her husband, Lynn, preceded her in this mortal event we call death, and they will rejoice in their sweet reunion. Her last few years were difficult ones, but she is now free of pain and can see and hear clearly, and can walk and run.
She was also preceded in death by her parents; her sisters, Vilate (Joe) Longhurst, Rea Dawn (Keith) Black; brother Max (Wilma) Buck; three of her siblings who died shortly after birth — Verla, Lewis and Bessie; and a great-great-grandson, Cole Pelton.
She is survived by her sister, Ruth (Ira Lee) Muir; children Thelma
(Kent) Bishop, David (Sue) Cox, and John (Karen) Cox, 11 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday, Dec. 28, in the Woodruff Ward chapel at 11 a.m., with viewing one hour before the service. Interment will be in the Woodruff Cemetery, under the direction of Crandall Funeral Home of Evanston.
We love you, Mom.
