LaRue Berry Duncan
"Our Loving Mother"
LaRue Duncan died June 20, 2006 in Oceanside California at the home of her daughter, surrounded by lots of love and the wonderful support of Elizabeth Hospice. Third child of eight, and oldest daughter of David Allen and Fannie Reid Berry, she was born January 13, 1919, at home, in Cedar Valley, Utah. LaRue graduated from Lehi High School in 1937. Her first job was in the cafeteria of Salt Lake City Airport, but she would later join the medical profession working many years for St. Mark's Hospital, and helping open the Operating Room at the new Cottonwood Hospital. LaRue met Lindsey Ivor Duncan in Latuda, Utah, November 1939, and they married within two weeks. Twenty-one years later their union was solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple, altogether a marriage that lasted 63 years. Lindsey died in 2003. For the past three years LaRue lived at Silver Pines Senior Apartments in Sandy, Utah with many wonderful friends who gave her much love and happiness. She was an active member of the L.D.S. Crescent Park 4th Ward. She will be remembered for her love and strength as a mother and wife, kind and caring ways to family and friends, a wonderful smile, impeccable taste in clothes, and beautiful hair...always. Her favorite things were family, friends, church, and Utah. LaRue was preceded in death by her husband Lindsey and son Lindsey Ray Duncan, but was survived by a daughter and son-in-law, Saundra and Ron Jack of Oceanside, California, a son and daughter-in-law, David Ivor and Susan Duncan in Sandy, seven incredible grandchildren and 13+ great-grandchildren from Boston to Los Angeles, a brother Glade Berry of Lehi and sisters Ivy Rytting and Maxine Sparkes of Salt Lake City. Friends and family could visit Monday, June 26, 2006, 9:00 a.m. at Lake Hills Memorial Mortuary, 10055 South State Street, Sandy. Graveside services followed at 10:00 a.m. where she was laid to rest next to Lindsey.
