Loie Leavitt
LaVerkin, Gunlock
La Verkin, Utah -- Loie Prince Leavitt died of health complications at the age of 82 on August 4, 2017 in St. George, Utah, surrounded by her family.
Loie was born August 15, 1934 in Washington, Utah to Murdell Hartley and Leslie Hyrum Prince.

Loie described her childhood, "We didn't need a lot, and we were always happy.
There were things I wanted and didn't get, but really didn't need them to be happy."

We loved to hear her stories and her great sense of humor.
She was a wonderful mother and the strongest woman we've ever known.
We feel very fortunate to have had this great lady in our lives, and she will be truly missed.
