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.
