Grandma Lovell

On Saturday July 11th, Eric's Grandma Lovell passed away. We were sad to see her go but we are grateful she is in a better place. Here is her obituary.

Florence Lovell "Beautiful Homemaker" Florence Lindsay Lovell passed away Saturday, July 11, 2009, in Taylorsville, Utah. Born in Taylorsville to Edgar Bennion and Ada Viola Freebairn Lindsay January 2, 1919. She attended Granite High School, USU, and BYU, where she met the man of her dreams, Ray Lovell, a genuine, red-haired country boy from Ririe, Idaho. He won the heart of this city belle with his zest for life, work ethic, and love of the Lord. Determined to graduate from BYU, Florence and friend, Marne Tuttle packed babies, bottles, and art brushes in their buggies, painting "as long as the babies would last!" After graduating Florence and Ray settled in Springville, Utah where they raised their family and she put her energies into helping their children compose their own canvases, providing a colorful palette of faith, work, education, music, scouting, sports, and travel. She treasured being with her sister, Marian Jansson's family, the Lovell clan, and Springville friends. Visiting family sites in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales was a dream come true for this historian. Florence and Ray were honored to serve at the LDS Provo Temple and as missionaries in the Ohio Cleveland Mission. A faithful example, she has blessed us with her selflessness, wit, and unwavering love of things that matter most. Survived by children, Byron (Cynthia), Richard, Joan (Randy) Shaw, Joyce Kormylo, Keith (Gini), Ann Johnson; and daughter-in-law, Lois. Preceded by husband, Ray; parents; sister, Marian; son, David; grandson, Keyton Lovell; daughter-in-law, Sarah; and sons-in-law, John Kormylo and Jeff Johnson.
