"A" Star



I’ve been indexing obituaries and thought I’d try writing my own. Here it is, minus names and dates:
I was born in the Cottonwood Maternity Hospital in Murray. I’ve loved living in California, New York, Idaho and North Yorkshire, but Utah has always been “home.” I married my best friend in the Washington, D.C. Temple midway between Christmas and New Year’s Day. I’ve spent my life studying, teaching and sharing music. I’ve also enjoyed good books (especially children’s literature), good movies, cooking (and eating), community theater, quilting and puzzles of every kind. But my children and my grandchildren have brought me the most pure joy. I’ve been a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many capacities. That service and my faith have blessed me immeasurably. I was preceded in death by my grandparents and my dad. I’ve missed them and look forward to being with them again. I leave behind my mother, my brother and sisters, a loving husband, four dear children and four sweet grandchildren.
Hopefully I’ll have time for several drafts before it’s needed!
