Eula Nola Lisenbee Braby passed away on February 15th at the age of 89, after a long battle with dementia. She died peacefully in her home, surrounded by her husband and several of her children.

She is survived by Larry, her husband of 70 years, and by her seven children; Larry Jr (Cindy), Dennis (Denise), Karen (Glenn), Nancy (Pete), Mark (Lonnie), Diane (Kurt), and Randy (Cindi). She is also survived by 28 grandchildren and 50 great-grandchildren.

Her family was the joy of her life, and she and Larry visited them as often as possible. One of her goals in life was to attend all baby blessings, baptisms, priesthood ordinations, and weddings in her family. This goal was achieved until her condition made it impossible for her to travel.

She grew up in Baxter, Harlan County, Kentucky, in a humble home with her parents and siblings. They didn't have electricity until she was in high school, and they never had indoor plumbing. She was the youngest of 8 children, all of whom preceded her in death. These humble beginnings helped make her the kind, compassionate, loving person she was.

She was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at the age of 17 and has given a lifetime of service to her fellow men.

Eula met Larry while he was serving a mission in Kentucky. After his release, he returned to Baxter, and he and Eula were married for time, and 2 weeks later they were sealed for eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. Their first 10 years of marriage were spent in Salt Lake City.

Because of Larry's career, they were transferred to various locations throughout the country: Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Texas, and Virginia. Her first four children, Larry Jr., Dennis, Karen, and Nancy, were born in Salt Lake City, Utah; her fifth child, Mark, was born in Pennsylvania, her sixth child, Diane in New Jersey, and her seventh, Randy, in Wisconsin.

Following retirement, they moved back to Utah, where they built their dream home in Emigration Canyon. They lived there for twenty-five years. As her health declined, they found it necessary to downsize, and they purchased a home in Draper, where she lived out her final months.

Eula and Larry traveled extensively throughout North America and Europe, and they especially enjoyed cruises.

She and Larry were in charge of the baptistry in the Dallas, Texas temple for 2 years, served as missionaries at the Utah State Prison in the family home evening program for 5 years, were volunteers at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, and they served food to the homeless at St. Vincent DePaul.

She had an unconditional love for all people, which never diminished even during her battle with dementia. She couldn't walk past a homeless person without helping them. All who knew her were touched by her loving self. She always knew exactly what gifts to give to her family and friends, and she could always tell when someone needed her help.

During her last fourteen months of life, she was cared for by her husband, and her daughters Karen and Nancy.

Her family is forever grateful for the kind, compassionate service rendered by so many of the members of the Emigration Canyon and Eagle Crest 3rd ward members. We also thank the Hospice Nurse Bridgett, the social worker Natalie, and the many nurses and aides, who rendered assistance during her last year.
