Phyllis Ivie Durnford, 91, passed away on Thursday, August 28, 2014, near her daughter with happiness and love in her heart.
We know our “angel mother” is full of joy and love to return to our Heavenly Father and her beloved husband whom she had missed every day since his passing seven years ago. Our mother and father were married on earth for 63 years.
Our mother was beautiful inside and outside. In her youth, she was a beauty queen and print model for ZCMI Department Store in Utah. She devoted her life to her family and service to the Lord through her church. She held multiple leadership positions in her church including many years as president and/or counselor of her LDS church Relief Society.
We love and miss our mother so very much.
