| Notes |
- Lucile Gardner, our beloved grandmother, was born on September 13th, 19 0 3 in Cedar City, Utah to Nathaniel and Sarah Patience Bracken Gardner ( al so known as Rose). Lucile was the 6th of 11 children. Doing hard wor k wa s part of her upbringing. Lucile was exposed to rural and farm life , wher e she learned to grow and harvest crops, milk cows and feed chicke ns. He r love for growing flowers (particularly roses), and fruits and ve getable s originated in the hard labor performed in her youth.
Lucile was also exposed to good literature, music, writing, sewing and p u blic speaking, all of which she became proficient in .
Lucile married Lewis T. Williams on September 3, 1948 in Salt Lake Cit y . Three children were born to that union: Lewis Keith, who went by Keit h , Russell Gardner and Lucile Marie, who went by Marie. Seventeen year s af ter their civil marriage, Lew and Lucile were sealed to each other a lon g with their children in the Salt Lake Temple.
in 1926, they bought a home at 703 6th Avenue where they lived for 50 ye a rs. Lucile was heavily involved in her children's lives, teaching and h el ping them with their development. She also taught them in Primary onc e pe r week after school. Lucile was also involved in her children's scho ols , serving as a PTA room mother and as PTA president .
Lucile played the piano and instilled in her children a love for music S h e was instrumental in Keith learning to play the trumpet and Russ and M ar ie playing the violin. They were faithfully taken to music lessons an d re quired to practice their instruments.
Lucile served in many church callings; a Relief Society presidency, as S p iritual Living teacher - teaching carefully and prayerfully prepared le ss ons, and on the Stake Sunday School board where she influenced many wh o w ere trying to improve their teaching skills .
As her sons matured, Lucile saw Keith leave home to serve in the Air For c e during World War II. This caused some anxiety for her, as his unit h a d the assignment to patrol the skies for enemy aircraft near Labrado r o n the Canadian East coast. Later she also sent her two sons on missio ns : Keith to the Eastern States mission in 1947 and Russ to the New Engl an d mission in 1948.
The most heart wrenching and devastating experience of her motherhood w a s losing Marie on February 24, 1948 to a rare form of meningitis. Mari e h ad become violently ill and had died within four days. As difficult a s th is was to bury her own daughter, Lucile still lived a productive lif e aft erwards, especially in serving others. But, she anguished in her ow n priv ate way. She never changed things in Marie's room, leaving all o f her bel ongings the way that they were at the time of her death.
Lucile received the Honorary Golden Gleaner Award a few years followin g M arie's death, because of her devotion to many young women, especiall y th e friends of her cherished daughter. Lucile gave counsel and directi on t o the young women and there developed a strong bond of genuine lov e for e ach other.
Lucile's service went beyond church callings. She devoted her talent s t o several organizations. Along with her PTA service, Lucile served o n th e Salt Lake PTA council. She was also a member of the Salt Lake Coun ty o f Women. She had a deep and abiding regard for improving the communi ty an d fostering programs that helped to bring this about .
She was also a member and officer in the local Daughter of the Utah Pion e ers chapter, as well as heavily involved in the Salt Lake County Boar d o f DUP and Central Board. She was a great organizer, problem solver, a nd v ery compassionate in her service.
In her early 70s, Lucile fought a valiant and courageous battle with can c er. A large tumor was found in her stomach, and although it was remove d , the cancer had already spread to other parts of her body. She receiv e d much care from loved ones to make her comfortable, since further medi ca l care was deemed to be fruitless. On September 23, 1975, Lucile passe d a way. Witnesses recalled that, in her final moments, she spoke the wor ds , "Marie, Marie". It was apparent that the Lord had allowed Marie's sp iri t to accompany her mother to the spirit world.
