Mother served with her husband as an officer in the Geological Society of Cache Valley. Albert and Opal loved to traveled the country with family and friends.
Mother loved to sew, making most of her children's clothing. She did beautiful embroidery work. She made many beautiful quilts that she gave to her children and grandchildren … keeping none for herself. Mother made beautiful loom rugs out of old clothing never wasting any material. She was well known for her chocolates, pies, and candy. Mother loved to sing both in her church and as a group with her sister and with others.
Mother was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She served in the Primary, Mutual, and Scouting organizations for many years. She was a Relief Society visiting teacher until her health limited her activities. She loved the Gospel and shared her love of the Lord with her family and many friends.
