Merelda Child Bingham, age 77, our beloved mother, grandmother, and friend passed from this mortal life on Wed., December 5, 2001, to once again be reunited with her sweetheart and life long companion.
She was born May 2, 1924 in Ogden, Utah to John Marvin and Oneta Wilson Child. After graduation from Ogden High School in 1942, she married her high school sweetheart Richard O. Bingham on May 27, 1944 in Chicago, Illinois. Their marriage was solemnized Oct. 16, 1944 in the Logan Temple.
Her life was devoted to her family and home. She was a vital support for her husband during his service in the U.S. Navy during World War II and throughout his life and career.
