Obituary: Lillian Marie Pearson Bagley

Lillian Marie Pearson Bagley 1917 ~ 2005 Lillian was born February 14, 1917 in Ririe, Idaho to Roy Oscar Pearson and Marie Sofie Peterson. She died peacefully on June 4, 2005 at her home in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Donald Merle Bagley; her son, Michael Allan Bagley; her parents, and three brothers. She is survived by six of her children and their spouses, Donald Merle, Jr. (Elaine), Dona Dryden (David), Michael's widow (Sue), David LeRoy (Dian), Colleen Breeze, Gary Wayne (Tamie), Marilee Cook (Brian); and brother, Howard Pearson (Cheryl). She was the proud grandmother of 33, and great-grandmother of 52. Mother was a woman of faith, integrity, and virtue. Foremost in her life was her love of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She bore a strong testimony to it's truthfulness and was steadfast in living it's principles, setting a wonderful example for her posterity to follow. She loved her family very much and was concerned about their happiness and well-being. During her last coherent days on earth, she often stated she felt surrounded by love and said "I've had a wonderful life." We're thankful she's in a better place surrounded by many of her loved ones who have gone on before and we're thankful for her life and for being able to share it with her. We will miss her and we look forward to the day when we can be with her again.
