Hyrum, Utah: Lenore Fallows, 83, of Hyrum, Utah, passed away peacefully on April 21, 2008, at Sunshine Terrace in Logan, Utah. Lenore was born on June 28, 1924 in Hyrum, to Alfred and Flossie Fallows. The youngest of four children, Lenore was raised and lived her whole life in the family home in Hyrum until she moved to assisted living in Logan in 2006. Lenore received her education at South Cache High School where she graduated in 1942.

As an adult she had a distinguished and enjoyable career with the Mountain Bell Telephone Company where she was widely recognized as an outstanding employee. As a telephone operator she had many enjoyable interactions with the community often speaking fondly of that time in her life.

Lenore will always be remembered for the faithful and loving care she gave to her mother, Flossie. She maintained a warm home filled with kindness and generosity of spirit faithfully serving her mother as well as her many aunts and uncles. Lenore enjoyed music, loved gardening and found meaning in life's simple pleasures. One of her favorite times of the year was the Fourth of July when friends and neighbors would congregate on her porch and front lawn to watch the Hyrum parade.

Throughout her life Lenore was a faithful and devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where she actively participated in genealogy work in the family record extraction program. She loved record keeping and family history. One of the most memorable experiences in her life was serving a mission for the church.

Lenore also enjoyed spending time doing beautiful handwork and was an avid collector of unique ceramic figurines, especially salt and pepper shakers from all over the country. Her special treasure, though, was a full-size original Shirley Temple doll.

A quiet and thoughtful person by nature, Lenore had a surprisingly dry wit and unfailing sense of humor. Though she carried many burdens later in life she never lost her gentle manner and wonderful spirit.

Lenore was preceded in death by her mother, Flossie Fallows, her father, Alfred Fallows, her two brothers, Merlin and Dale, and her nephew, Jeff Rainbow.

She is survived by her sister, Vonna Rainbow of Clayton, CA, many cousins, nieces, and nephews and by loving friends and neighbors. The family would like to express their gratitude to all those who gave such generous and compassionate service to Lenore in her latter years. We would also like to give special thanks to her senior companion and to the staff at Terrace Grove and Sunshine Terrace care facilities.

Funeral services will be held at noon Saturday, May 3, 2008, in the Allen-Hall Mortuary Chapel, 34 E Center, Logan, Utah with Bishop Steven Jensen conducting. Friends and family may attend a viewing from 11:00 to 11:45 a.m. on Saturday at the Chapel prior to services. Interment will be in the Hyrum Cemetery following the services. Condolences may be sent to the family at Allen Mortuaries.
