Daughter of Roland Adolphus Madsen and Abigail Rees
Married Alma Parker Pratt, 1 June 1935, Blanding, San Juan, Utah
Grace, after a wonderful, fulfilling life that began in Brigham City, Utah, on May 14, 1914, you left us on November 27, 2003, to be met by your husband, Al Pratt; your parents, Abbie and Rol Madsen; your brothers Wayne, Horace, Fred, Delbert, and your sisters Lola (Tingey), Amy (Beecher), Laura (Weber), Afton (Bingham); and one granddaughter, Kristin Pratt. You left behind five more siblings: Mildred (Stowe Anderson, Clyde, Carl, Milton and Dorothy (Bramwell); six children: Pete (and Jody) Pratt, Gail (and David) Wasden, Laura Lee (and Tom) Edwards, Marcia (and Max) Newell, Christine (and Mario) Gonzales and Don (and Janice) Pratt; 27 grandchildren; and approximately 56 great-grand-children.
During your youth in the 1920s you listened to your grandparents' Pioneer stories. While at the Utah State Agricultural College you were president of SPURS and dated Al Pratt. After marrying in Blanding, Utah, the two of you were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple for time and all eternity in December 1935.
Your first married years were on Indian reservations in Utah and Nevada, back in Brigham City while Al was away in the war, then in Ventura, California, where you helped build the Los Angeles Temple and encouraged your children to develop their talents in music.
Grace, you moved to Hawaii, celebrated the heritage and supported Al's calling as the first bishop of Halawa Ward. Later, in Kailua Ward, you led the Guide Patrol, taught Scouting and Seminary. As you lived in American Samoa; Perth, Western Australia and Melbourne, you had developed your gift of making people feel happy and important.
You found time to write lovely stories about your various experiences: Anderson Cornbread, A Boy and a Bird, Fa'a Samoa Stomachache, White Birds of Olotele and many others, published in the Friend. You won third place in a Relief Society Magazine contest and wrote articles for the Church News and other publications.
After retirement, you lived in Merced, and then in Camarillo, California, sharing your talents in ceramics and swimming lessons with grandchildren and friends. Then you and Al went to work in the Hawaii Temple. Your last home, in Centerville, Utah, was a refuge where your beloved family could visit after Al departed this life.
Good friends helped you in your twilight years: Dr. Sam Wilson in Bountiful; the Golden Living staff in Taylorsville; St. Mark's Hospital and the loving caretakers at Residence Hospice in Salt Lake City. Grace, as your time here grew short, we sang together, visited, reminisced and sent messages for you to take on with you. You have donated your remains to the University of Utah Medical School, so we will not have a funeral for you; however, your friends and relatives are invited to send messages, tributes and photos to your website: astromonte.dnsalias.com/gracepratt/. They can look there for notice of your memorial service, to be held sometime in Spring, 2004.
Have fun, Grace. Get Al to dance; have a swim for us at Temple Beach.
