work and dedication to one another.
Our mother met and married the love of her life Fred Valdez on March
2, 1957 in Provo, Utah. Our parents shared 25 years together raising
their four children Rick, Terry, Tami and Tony. Our home was a place
where many happy memories were made. Mom enjoyed backyard parties,
home cooking and camping trips with our Valdez family and many
friends.
Mom was employed at the Utah State Hospital she later worked and
retired as a laboratory secretary at UVRMC in Provo Utah. Her
co-workers remember her for her pleasant smile, delicious treats and
dry wit.
Later in life mom shared many happy years with her companion "Vernon"
Dee Fraughton. Together they enjoyed their beautiful flower and
vegetable garden. They traveled and spent many hours on the back deck
spoiling their dogs Chickie, Gracie and Spunky.
Mom was proceeded in death by her parents, our father Fred Valdez, her
brothers Dale and Dick Ballantyne, sister Ruth Gardner and her
grandson Colby Adams; who waits with open arms to greet her.
