    Barbara Jean Green Sagers

    September 3, 1930 - December 3, 2018

    It all started in Howe, Idaho on September 3rd 1930, the 5th of 8 children. My father, William LeRoy Green and my mother Barbara Green were residing in Howe while my father worked one of the many ranches in the area, mom worked to feed us and the ranch hands. As kids we moved around a lot between Idaho and Utah depending on where the work was for Dad. A life lesson I learned while living out on Burch Creek was when Dad said, “don’t race your mother’s horse,” you don’t race your mother’s horse. When Dad caught me racing mom’s horse “Dan” it was a long walk home that day, but when you’re with your sisters and friends it’s all good. It was also in these years where my mother taught us all to cook, bake, and can what we raised for the winter months. Those skills carried through many family meals, church pot lucks, fund raisers, and school activities. I was always amazed at how far the smell of cookies, cake, bread, and homemade donuts could travel. After high school I met a very handsome young man, who wore a dashing U.S Navy uniform, from Tooele, Utah. After a lot of laughs, car rides, and dancing at old Saltaire, I married the love of my life, Robert Gordon Sagers, on September 18, 1948 in Grantsville, Utah. Later, we entered the Manti Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and were sealed together for time and all eternity. In doing so, we were blessed with five wonderful children: Loretta Ann (Jim), Mark Gordon (Sherrie), Jeanette (Dane), Robert Sterling (Becky), and Stewart Leon (Kim). Who would have known that from this family tree would come 16 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren? All of which I am very proud of, all of them served their Father in Heaven in their own way, from defending this great nation, teaching others, bringing joy to the hearts of many through art and service, and by their example in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ in their wards and towns around this world. The last words I spoke before going through the veil to have a little chat with Gordon, was, “I Love ALL My Children!!!!” Of the many callings I have had in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, my most favorite was teaching Primary, and as an ordinance worker in the Timpanogos Temple. My passion up and to the end was genealogy and family history. I always wondered how correct the 49,000 names we submitted and had their ordinance work done were. If we got a few extras on the tree, they are all our brothers and sisters in the end. I am now with Gordon and Loretta, my father and mother, and four of my brothers and sisters. At 12:00 noon, Friday, December 7th, my graveside services will be held at the Provo City Cemetery, 610 S. State Street, Provo, Utah. There will be a short, and I mean short, family and friends gathering from 11-11:45 a.m. at the Berg Mortuary of Provo, 185 E. Center Street, before services. My final resting place will be next to my companion for the eternities and the love of my life, Gordon and with our daughter, Loretta until the morning we are called forth unto resurrection. Special thanks to the staff at both Ogden Regional Hospital and Stonehenge of Ogden. To Judy who came every week and Carla who did my hair every week; you both always made me feel so good. The Cottles, Lisa and Elizabeth, you are all truly angels. There has always been so many important people in my life, I do not want to leave any out; you all touched my life in so many ways. I cannot leave this world without saying, “I will miss my Diet Coke in the morning,” see you on the other side. Love, Jean Condolences may be expressed at www.bergmortuary.com
