| Notes |
- If you’re reading this, that means that I have passed on to Paradise whe r e I am now in the arms of my darling once again, Earl E. Backus, who m I m et and fell in love with, then married on November 23, 1948. This u nion b rought into this world our daughters Carol (LaMar) Beardall; Gai l (Richar d) Tolley; Kathryn (Steve VanMeter) DeSantis; and our son Dunca n (Meg) Ba ckus. On January 7, 1953 we were sealed in the Salt Lake Templ e of the Ch urch of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, thus we became a n eternal fami ly which brought us great joy and happiness. The result wa s 14 grandchild ren and 31 great grandchildren. I love and treasure ever y one. I was bor n the only daughter to Jean Urie and Charles E. Duncan o n April 24, 192 9 in Provo, UT. I had three brothers, who spoiled, love d and watched ove r me all their lives: Faust (Kurt); Homer (Chuck) and W illiam (Bill) Dunc an. They were such buddies. Earl and I served in the P rovo Mission, inclu ding being guides in the beautiful Provo Tabernacle w hich I loved dearl y and led me to write a book about that historical bui lding. I loved thi s building, because as a young girl I grew up in Prov o and this was a gre at part of my memories. I was very proud of my ances try and did a lot o f research into who I was. This resulted in a great s urprise to find ou t my relationship to both the people of Southern Uta h and Arkansas, and t heir history with the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Th is research resulted i n a book; Mountain Meadows Witness, which tells no t only of the tragedy a nd sorrow of that story, but of the love and grea t sacrifice of those pio neers. In my book; Through Bonds of Love, I reco rded the best I could o f those relationships.
Funeral to be held Saturday, October 31, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. in the (Or e m 4th Ward 50 S. 800 E. Orem, Utah). Friends may call from 9:00 – 10:3 0 a .m. prior to services. My final resting place will be in the Moroni C it y Cemetery, next to my Earl, graveside dedication 3:00 p.m.
It is important to me to close with my testimony of my Savior Jesus Chri s t; I know that He lives and that He loves each and every one of us. H e de sires all of us to return to the presence of our Heavenly Father, af ter a ll, that’s why He came and sacrificed Himself for us. Let my famil y kno w how much I love them. I wanted to tell every one of them that, bu t tim e ran out and I was called home.
The family would like to thank the nurses and staff of the Timpanogos Ho s pital who took such loving care of Mom.
