COLLEGE WARD, UTAH: Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, Betty Bridges passed away April 4th 2006, surrounded by her most treasured possession, her loving family.

Born August 31st, 1921, Spanish Fork, Utah to Grant William and Enola Davis Boyack.

Married Seldon S Bridges August 26th, 1940 in the Salt Lake Temple.

Her greatest love in life and her greatest joy was to be surrounded by her 56 grandchildren. She was the center and the lifeblood of her large family. Our most treasured memories are of her Christmas, Thanksgiving and other family parties that she loved to plan.

Her greatest love in church service was serving in the primary where she could be around all of her of “primary kids”. They all felt the benefit of her love and service to them, especially at Halloween where they would come to her home and be treated with not just a piece of candy but a whole bag of treats.

Other faithful church service included the MIA, Relief Society, Junior Sunday School and a love of temple service.

The example that she set for all those around her, with her courage, and her happy, loving, attitude, even through her pain and health struggles, will always be treasured. Everyone who came in contact with her went away feeling uplifted and happy to know her. She made everyone feel that they were a special friend to her and they felt loved.

She is survived by her brother Sam (Shirl) Boyack and preceded in death by her sisters Ruth “Mickey” (Bob) Bletzacker and Shirley Flowers and her parents.

She is survived by her husband Seldon, of 65 years and her children, Carolyn (Tad) Jeppesen, Kent (Debbie) Bridges, Sandra (Terry) Dubois, daughter in law, Laurie Bridges and Lynn (Jill) Bridges. Two of her children, Dennis and Susan Bridges, are enjoying a happy reunion in heaven with her at this time.

A special thanks to all of her health care workers in Logan and Salt Lake City for keeping her with us these last 9 years especially, her personal physician and trusted friend, Dr. Michael Stones.

We will all truly miss the most Christ Like person we have ever known. Funeral services will be held Saturday at 12:00 pm in the College Ward Chapel, 2400 West 2200 South.
