She was a very good cook, and especially enjoyed baking delicious pies and cookies in her big coal stove to have on hand when friends and family came to call.

Her grandchildren remember running errands for her over to Sugar House, which was Just around the corner from their home, to buy green pineapple ice cream at Laura Larsen's Ice Cream store, and sitting at her round dining room table to share it with her. They would also go grocery shopping with her over to the Piggly Wiggly market around the corner and help her by pulling the groceries home in a little red wagon. An opportunity my sisters had every Saturday was to help her scrub her kitchen floor and do her housework. For this they would earn a quarter. Every day, winter or summer, she would open the windows in her bedroom up wide, shut the door, and air the room out so it would be fresh and clean. She was a good housekeeper, and her home was always neat and tidy. They also remember that she always had a little sack of round peppermint candies tucked away in her top bureau drawer which she would treat them with.

Grandma also had a coin purse full of pennies which she would dole out to the grandchildren so they could run to the store and buy goodies for themselves. They loved that. The three families, Hazen's, Rex's, and their parents all lived as next door neighbors to each other on McClelland Street in Sugar House. They frequently took picnics to Liberty Park and would listen to the band concerts that were held there. They always took along a freezer of homemade ice cream, and visited with old friends from their days in Canada. There were also band concerts held on the plaza In Sugar House, and they would walk over to listen to those. Anna and her husband John also enjoyed sitting on their front porch and visiting with the neighbors as they passed by, which seems to be a thing of the past now.

Bright and early on Monday mornings, Grandma and her two daughters- in-law would get together and do their family washing in the old wringer washer. They would heat water in a big tub and boil the white clothes to get them white as snow. Their washing was always first on the clothesline in the neighborhood.

Grandma was a short, heavy set woman with white hair which she wore piled on top of her head and pinned into a bun in the back. She was jolly and sweet and friendly. She looked just like the accompanying picture. She was always neat in appearance.

After her death on the 8th of April, 1930, she was buried In the Salt Lake City Cemetery. She was survived by her good husband of nearly 50 years, her three sons, Hazen, Rex, and Leon, sixteen grandchildren, two sisters and two brothers. Her husband then lived with their son Hazen and his family until his death on May 22, 1931.
