Donna Samuelson Rice Huntsman
Our beautiful, sweet, loving Mother and Grandmother left mortality on February 12, 2012 at the age of 91. She lived a long and wonderful life filled with love, service, and charity for her family and loved ones. Indeed, her love for family characterized her whole life.
Mother was born June 25, 1920 to Anton Emanuel Samuelson and Ruth Woodbury Stay at her home in Blue Creek, Utah, a small community near Tremonton. Her mother died of complications in childbirth several days after her birth. Her father remarried shortly thereafter to Edna Brough, a widow and great family friend. Edna became in the truest sense the only mother that she ever knew.
She married Clarence C. Rice in Riverside, California after graduating BYU in 1942. Clarence had left the university earlier to serve his country in WWII and was then in the US Army Air Force. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. They had four children, each born in a different state due to travels incident to the war, education opportunities, and the starting of new businesses. They later settled in Davis County, Utah living in Clearfield and Kaysville for about 25 years before moving to St. George. Clarence died in 1984 after 42 loving years of marriage.
When her children were all of school age she began a 22 year teaching career. She taught all the elementary grades, but found her true calling teaching the kindergarten children of the Davis School District. Many young lives were affected for the good by her kind and dedicated teaching.
After Clarence's death she served a full time mission in the Bradenton, Florida area. Upon returning home she met and married Leland Huntsman, a kind, warm, and generous widower from Enterprise, Utah. They made their home in St. George, and Enterprise, Utah for 22 years.
Their life together was filled with joy and love for which her children and grandchildren are extremely grateful.
Mother was preceded in death by her eternal husband Clarence and a daughter, Lynda. She is survived by her husband Leland, age 102, her sons Darwin Rice (Lorraine) and Steven Rice (Elizabeth), and her daughter Cinnamon LaRene Bonnett (Paul). She is also survived by 16 natural grandchildren and 20+ great grandchildren. She is also honored as loving grandmother to the many grandchildren and great grandchildren of husband Leland.
Our many thanks to the staff, residents, and associates of Chancellor Gardens in Clearfield who cared for and befriended Mother during her final months with us, as well as those who provided hospice and home care.
The funeral will be held at the Oak Forest LDS Meetinghouse at 2200 N. 2250 E., Layton, Utah at 11:00 am Saturday, February 18, 2012. Viewings will be held from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Friday, February 17 at the Myers Mortuary in Layton, 250 N. Fairfield Rd., and at the LDS Meetinghouse at 10 to 10:45 am prior to the funeral service.
