She was born May 5, 1943 in Price to Violet Leona and John C. Brinkerhoff. She married Pattie B. Willson Aug. 22, 1964 in Price. Their marriage was solemnized on May 17, 1969 in the Manti LDS Temple. They had just celebrated 44 years together.

She loved to sew, crochet, quilt, tole paint and play Bingo.
She was a member of the LDS Church and once held the position of Primary president. She had been a Boy Scout leader and had been a member of Daughters of the Utah Pioneers.
She worked at the Barbizon in Provo, sewing lace, and later left there to raise her family.
She loved her family dearly and had an amazing love for her grandchildren. They were her life. She loved watching their baseball games, dance recitals and school plays.
You could always find lots of kids at Nanny’s and Grandpa’s house.
