Mom grew up in West Fielding on her parents’ farm, where she loved to ride horses, play softball and play with her cousins. Mom learned to love animals and was always caring for any creature that she thought needed help.
She attended Fielding Elementary School and later graduated from Bear River High School in 1940 where she was the editor of the Searchlight (the school newspaper). She was an excellent student and participated in school activities. She also graduated from the Garland LDS Seminary.
LaNae met Farrell Summers at the Box Elder County Fair and they were married on December 24, 1940. Their Marriage was later solemnized in the Logan LDS Temple on July 1, 1942. They lived in Bothwell, UT where they farmed, raised turkeys and they raised six children who were taught the value of hard work and helping others. We are grateful for those lessons and example.
Mom loved to read, raise beautiful flowers, bake delicious cookies and cinnamon rolls. Homemade root beer was plentiful during the summer. Camping with friends and family was a favorite outing for Mom. She was happiest surrounded by family & friends.
Mom was a woman of many talents. She taught the Gospel Doctrine class for many years, also served as a ward and stake YWMIA counselor. She taught Primary, and was Sunday School Secretary. She also taught Relief Society and was a visiting teacher for many years. Mom worked as a clerk in the Technical Library at Thiokol for 20 years. She was a gracious lady who loved to serve others.
