Marva Fae Larson Life Sketch
(longer version read at her funeral)
Marva Fae Larson passed away with her family at her side Monday August 27th at the Avalon Care Center in Bountiful, Utah at the age of 92 years.
Fae, as she preferred to be called, was the daughter of Victor Josephus and Maggie Irene Metcalf Smith. She was born November 9, 1919 at View, County, Idaho, the sixth daughter in a family of seven girls. Her parents were among the first settlers in the View area and she was raised there. A receipt found among her family treasures says the charge for the doctor to come to deliver her was a total of $13.00. Her sisters are Marie, Iona, Josephine, Sylvia, Rae who died as a child, then Fae and Nelda. All but Nelda have preceded her in death.
Since her father didn't have any sons, the girls all learned to work hard in the house, yards, orchards, barns and fields. Fae remembered her mother's large strawberry and raspberry patches and said, "We had to pick some each day and Mother sold many cases of berries to Albion Normal and Smith's Grocery and restaurants in the area." There were also large gardens to tend during the summer and canning to do, chickens to tend and laundry to boil. Wash day was a big day. Her mother insisted the wash had to be white. Water was heated in the boiler on the kitchen stove. The sheets and all whites had to be boiled, then scrubbed on the board, rinsed and hung out on the clothes line. Fae and Nelda were glad when their mother got her fist washing machine in about 1937 or 1938.
Fae's sister, Nelda, said the yard work was also a big job. The huge lawn around the house was mowed with an old push mower. All the grass had to be hauled out to the animals. Even the dish water was hauled out to the pigs. Nothing was ever wasted at the Smith household.
Fae learned to drive her Father's car, which was one of the first in the area, and was teaching Nelda, who is younger than Fae to drive when her mother found out about it and that was the last of that.
Floyd and Fae met in high school. He sat across from her in several classes. When they started dating, Floyd's mode of transportation was a bicycle, and he would ride ten miles one way to see her. He later told the story of a large black dog that would chase him and he said he sure could make good time. Later, when he drove his father's car, he would pick her up for a movie in Burley. He would always wear a hat to pass to Fae because she could cry hats full of tears when they saw sad movies.
After graduating from Burley High School in 1937, she attended the Albion Normal Teacher's College at Albion, Idaho, until she married the love of her life, Floyd Davis Larson on the twenty-second day of November, 1939 in the Logan Utah LDS temple. Before his death in 2006, they celebrated 66 years of marriage. Following their marriage, they made their home in Burley, Idaho, near Floyd's parents where he farmed with his father for some time and Fae began the task of raising a large garden and lots of kids. Eight eventually joined the family. As the family grew, they moved to an 88 acre farm on the west side of Burley and then to the Grandview Addition east of Burley. A foster daughter, who came to live with them while in high school, was added to the family and Fae loved her as her own.
The family enjoyed many outings to the south hills when farm chores would allow, to camp and fish, or just see what was over the next hill. One memorable occasion was a trip to Wood River. She had on a pair of waders and was out in the middle of the stream when she stepped into a deep hole. The current swept her off her feet and she went bobbing down the stream like a cork. Amidst all the laughter, including her own, one of her daughters finally reached out and grabbed the back of the waders and pulled her to her feet. Every time the family gets started telling fish stories, this one gets told.
To supplement the family income for the growing family, Fae worked as a school lunchroom staff member and then as Head Cook for many years in the days when all the meals were "Home Made". The kids could never get enough of her fresh bread or cinnamon rolls.
Her family was her pride and joy, and she and Floyd would go to any lengths to be with their children on special occasions. They have missed very few of the blessings or baptisms over the years, and have been known to travel clear to the east coast for such a time. A very special time was spent with foster daughter, Sara Donkersloot and her family in Alaska a few years ago. Another such time in her life was the trip she and Floyd made to pick up their youngest daughter after her mission to Argentina. They made stops in Brazil, Peru, and Mexico on the way home.
Fae and Floyd also made sure each child, grandchild, great grandchild and so on, knew each was loved. There were special New Year's Eve parties for those who lived close enough to have a special dinner with them and stay overnight with blankets on the living room floor. Then there were the special Easter Bunny cakes she baked for all of the families—and many of the neighbors too. Each grandchild received a queen sized, tied quilt that she and Floyd made for weddings or hope chests. There were too many acts of love to name them all.
She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served valiantly in many callings over the years. She enjoyed serving in the Relief Society, several times as President, Homemaking Councilor, councilor in the Mutual, Primary and especially loved Temple and Genealogy work. One the family was all grown and having families of their own, Fae and Floyd served an LDS mission at Winter Quarters, Nebraska in 1985 and 1986, where they served as Visitor Center Directors. Sister Larson was a wonderful cook and along with her many duties, could be found cooking meals for the young missionaries who had just arrived, or were short on money and long on month. Just like at home, the cookie jar was never empty.
When she was young, she enjoyed writing short stories and poetry. Fae loved to garden, especially roses. Canning was an art form, with fruit placed in the jar for pleasing appearance as well as being tasty, and her sons and daughters were all instructed in the cooking skills. Baking cookies and Christmas candy were among her specialties. She was known for the compassionate service which was rendered freely to one and all, but her favorite interest was in loving her kids, grandkids and their families. Family always came first. She leaves behind and enduring challenge to carry on the legacy that she and Floyd began.
Some years ago before his death, Floyd was asked to write a tribute to his sweet wife and this is what he wrote,
"We were married November 22, 1939. Since that time she has been my wife, my best friend, my companion and my sweet heart.
Over the years my love for her has grown more each passing day. She has sustained me in all my callings and in my work. She has taken care of our home, and children, and grandchildren with love and is always concerned with all of us.
She has been my sweetheart ever since we started going together some years back and hope it can continue throughout eternity." Floyd
She is survived by three sons: Lynn (Linda) of Orem, Utah; Larry (Phyliss) of Burley; Neal (Delann) of Paul, five daughters, Patricia Bodily and Evelyn Dayley (Jay) of Layton, Utah, Louise Martindale (Vern and Irene Thomas (David, deceased) of North Salt Lake, Utah, Jan Larson Frandsen of Melborne, FL, and one foster daughter, Sara Donkersloot (John) of central Idaho, 39 grandchildren, 94 great grandchild, one on the way; 10 great, great grandchildren, three on the way; and one sister, Nelda Lowder of Rupert. Fae was preceded in death by her sweetheart Floyd, her parents, one grandson, two great grandsons, and five sisters.
The family wishes to give special thanks to the staff of the Avalon Care Center of Bountiful, Utah, for the loving care Fae received during her illness.
