She graduated from Rupert High School in 1938. She married Dale Marion Fenton in 1940 in Rupert, Idaho. Later divorced. Mom was a homemaker. She was a strong woman who "did the best she could" with the circumstances she was dealt. She was an avid reader. She used to say "Give me a good book & an apple & I will be gone for the afternoon." She read everything she could get her hands on. She was a founding member of Granger Community Christian Church & a member of Adah Chapter #15 Order of the Eastern Star, Magna, Utah. She played the piano beautifully. She loved to work with her hands, sewing, crocheting, ceramics, embroidering & needlepoint. But she could not fix her own hair "That's why she had her girls." She loved all animals especially Siamese cats. She hated to leave her "Simi". Survived by four daughters & two sons: Ruth Fox, Jean Fox, Beckie Eveler, Frank (Maryann) Fenton, Mary (John) Atkin & Randy (Debra) Fenton.
