She was very active in the LDS Church holding several positions throughout her life. Mom loved working on family genealogy, traveling with her cousin, Marsha Fitzewater Reynolds to West Virginia meeting and gathering family history. Mom made beautiful quilts for all her children, grandchildren and friends. We all have wonderful memories of her homemade candies and her hand dipped chocolates. She loved the mountains camping with family and friends, working in her garden, and canning. She is survived by her 3 sons, Jerry Dean Larsen, Ronald Elray (Kathy) Larsen, and Christian L. (Becky) Larsen; 2 daughters, AnnaDee (Larry) Fairclough and Glada Renee Larsen; 9 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren; brother, Doug (Connie) Moore; sisters, Carol (Guy) Mayhew and DorisAnn Johnson; and daughter-in-law, Susan Larsen.
