She was born in Layton, Utah November 1, 1916, to Franklin Richards and Mary Edwina Whitesides Knowlton, when Layton was a quiet farming town and there were few strangers.

Graehl Calhoun (Wayne), Mary Jane Graehl Sundstrom (Eric), Jonathan Knowlton Graehl (Daphne), Edmund Adam Graehl (Kimmie Rae), Joseph Knowlton Graehl, Christopher Knowlton Graehl, Elizabeth Graehl Call (Keith), Gretchen Ruth Graehl (Mathew Williams), 27 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
