Lois Bezzant Sunderland
1933 - 2017
Early Life: Lois was born August 25, 1933, in Pleasant Grove, Utah, to Matthew and Cora Olpin Bezzant. She was greeted by siblings: Mildred, Keith, Dick, Reed and Brian. She loved growing up in Pleasant Grove, on Battle Creek Drive. Some of her favorite activities were to sled from the top of Battle Creek Drive to State Street, ice skate, climb the “G” Mountain, play basketball, and march in the band. She was taught to work and spent many hours working in her uncles’ orchards picking fruit and berries besides helping her parents take care of their large yard.
Life's Work/Service/Interests: She married Reed Sunderland in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on December 19, 1952. One of their favorite activities was dancing and they danced through this life together. They eventually settled in Lehi, Utah. Lois loved living on Trinnaman Lane in Lehi. She grew a garden and beautiful flowers, but mostly, she grew a family. Family was everything to her and she wanted one forever. She was a great mother. She was an accomplished seamstress and very talented at quilting and crocheting. She had a fervent testimony of Jesus Christ. This was exemplified by the way she lived and served. Even with the debilitating effects of her disease, Lois loved to have a family party. She recently said, in her limited way that we need to get everybody together and have a party, and we did. She is now enjoying a family party with those special angels on the other side. Beloved mother, Lois Bezzant Sunderland, passed away from the effects of Alzheimer’s dementia on March 25, 2017. She is truly free.
