Mildred Meyer Horne

KAYSVILLE--After 92 years, Mildred Meyer Horne completed her mortal journey, December 19, 1996.

She was born April 3, 1904, in Richfield, UT to Christian and Francis Colby Meyer. On Oct. 27, 1927, she married her neighbor and childhood sweetheart, Owen W. Horne, in the Manti Temple. They enjoyed 60 years together prior to his death in 1987. Seven children joined their family and shared their wonderful love.

A woman of many talents and skills, she excelled at giving. Her hands were always busy quilting, crocheting, sewing or cooking for someone else. She was a friend to all and shared what she had with anyone in need. As a teacher, she was able to touch the lives of many children, in schools, church and in her own family. She loved her family and always looked forward to sharing her joy in their accomplishments, no matter how modest. Her family and the gospel of Jesus Christ were the mainstays in her life. Of her many callings in the LDS Church, she especially enjoyed the time spent as an ordinance worker at the Ogden Temple.

Perhaps her greatest legacy is the love that she communicated to all around her. She was an example of constant love given regardless of actions or choices. Her family love her dearly and will always remember the individual ways that she touched their lives.

Surviving are her children: Thad (Barbara) of Syracuse, Marvin (Jeannine) of Kaysville; David (Claudia) of North Ridge, CA; Carolyn (Rick) Myhre of Roseville, CA; and Kenneth (Charlene) of Kaysville. Richard (Bernice) and Harold (Luana), her two eldest sons, are deceased. She also leaves 37 grandchildren, 72 great-grandchildren, and a sister, Thelma Beutler of Richfield, Utah.

The family would especially like to thank Ken and Charlene, and their family for their loving care of Grandma who always said, "They are so good to me."

Funeral services will be at 11 a.m., Friday, Dec. 27, 1996, at the Kaysville LDS tabernacle, 198 West Center Street. Friends and family may call at Lindquist's Kaysville Mortuary, 400 North Main, Thursday from 6-8 p.m. and from 9:45-10:45 a.m. on Friday at the church prior to services.

Thelma and La Mont opened a small hamburger stand located on the West side of Main Street in Richfield, just south of 200 North. They later expanded to build and open a drive-in restaurant they named Mont’s Lunch.

Thelma was an active member of the LDS Church. She worked in Ward and Stake Primary and Relief Society using her musical talent on the piano to help others learn about the gospel she so dearly loved. She worked at the Genealogy Extraction Library in Richfield for many years. She was an avid genealogist, not only completing a great deal of work for her own family; helped many others with their genealogical research. For many years she sang with the musical group the Rich-Tones.

She was a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (DUP) since her youth and remained active in the organization throughout her life.

Thelma enjoyed doing handiwork. She made many quilts, afghans, and other creative needlework for her children and grandchildren.

She is survived by her sons, Burke L. Beutler of Richfield; Dr. Ralph K (Shirleen) Beutler, Woodland Hills, Utah; Sherman A.
