Berneda Lynn Croft

August 6, 1922 - July 10, 2013

Berneda Croft, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great grandmother, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Wednesday, July 10. She was the youngest child of ten born to Rosmus Meltire Lynn and Lydia Annie Stratton on August 6, 1922 in Lovell, Wyoming. She married Orvil Andrew Croft on December 24, 1941 in Provo, Utah, and their marriage was later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on June 2, 1947. They were married for 61 years. She was welcomed back to her heavenly home by her husband, Orvil, her mother and father and numerous family members. She was active in the LDS Church serving as teacher in the Sunday School and Young Women's Organizations. She also served as Junior Sunday Coordinator and Relief Society President in the Pioneer Ward in Provo, Utah. She enjoyed singing in the Ward Choir. She loved to fish, camp, read and most of all be with her family. She kept her mind sharp doing crossword puzzles throughout her life. She is survived by her five children: Douglas (Charmain) Croft of Dayton, MN; Colleen (Lyn) Briggs of Mapleton, UT; Lynn (Carol) Croft of South Jordan, UT; Janice (Brent) Sherwood of Spanish Fork, UT; and Sherry (Gary) Talbot of St George, UT. She leaves behind 21 grandchildren, 68 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson. She is preceded in death by her husband, parents and siblings. We would like to thank Dana Mutch and Ginsilvi Campos for their kind and loving care of our mother for the past two years. A celebration of her life will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, July 13, 2013 at the Pioneer 1st Ward Chapel, 376 North 700 West, Provo, Utah. Friends may call at the Berg Mortuary of Provo, 185 East Center Street, Friday evening from 6 until 8, and at the church Saturday from 9:30-10:45 a.m. prior to services. Interment will be in the Provo City Cemetery. Condolences may be sent through her obituary at www.bergmortuary.com.
