Our Beautiful Mother LaVere Roundy Brinkerhoff, 88, passed away May 4, 2015. She was born December 31, 1926 in Alton, Utah to Napoleon Bonaparte Roundy and Zelpha Allen, where she enjoyed a wonderful, happy childhood.

She served in many other callings & leadership positions in the church throughout her life. She magnified each one. She has always had a strong testimony of her Savior Jesus Christ and it has been her privilege to serve Him. Mom especially enjoyed her and Dads CES Mission to Tuba City, Arizona where she taught Seminary and served together at Porters Rest Home. Mom has always had a positive attitude. She enjoyed life to the fullest, always ready for the next adventure.
She has lived a life of true charity. She is a published author. She wrote a weekly column for the Washington County News, was a lifelong member of the Heritage Writers Guild where she won many awards for her writing and was in charge of writers workshops at Dixie College. Her writing talents have blessed many lives. She won a contest naming the Coral Pink Sand Dunes. She was a member of the DUP (Daughters of Utah Pioneers).
Mom was the manager of the Beehive Clothing Center for many years. After retirement, her life was filled with family, writing, & serving others.
Her family was everything to her. Each child, grandchild & great-grandchild were loved and cherished.
