Effie Beryl Mortensen Cruser, born December 19, 1922, in Salem, ID to James Leland Mortensen and Effie Ann Evans, died peacefully at her home in Provo, UT, on November 20, 2006.
She married Joseph DeVirl Cruser on December 31, 1945, in St. Louis, MO, and they were sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple on February 8, 1946.
Beryl and DeVirl spent the next 61 years together.
All who knew them remarked on their spiritual and happy marriage and their devotion to each other.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by her children, Ann Saxey (Steve) of West Valley, UT; Virla Stevens (Pat) of Anaheim, CA; Steven Cruser (June) of Washington, UT; and Della Allen (Jim) of Payson, UT, as well as 26 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren and one brother, Creed Mortensen, Los Gatos, CA.
She is predeceased by her parents, 8 brothers and sisters, one grandson, a daughter-in-law, and a nephew.
After the Lord and her family, Beryl's greatest joy was children and therefore enjoyed her profession of teaching elementary children for 40 years.
She and her husband, DeVirl, often taught at the same schools or near by so they drove to work together for most of their years.
Beryl was especially proud of her accomplishment that "no child left my class without learning to read."
Funeral services will be held Saturday Nov. 25, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. in the Provo Parkway Stake Center, 2801 W 620 N., Provo, UT.
Family and friends may attend the Viewing at her home (801 374-0181), 721 N Riderwood Way, Provo, UT, on Friday, November 24, 2006 from 6 Ð 8 p.m and on Saturday at the church from 10 to 10:45 a.m. prior to the services.
