She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints holding positions in Relief Society, Primary and Young Women. She was the proud grandmother to 15 grandchildren and their spouses, and 41 great-grandchildren. She loved to be with her family and attended birthday parties, Christmases and holidays. She is remembered for her love of cinnamon bears, 6 dice, Monday night dinner with her children at Chuck-A-Rama, and her unique finger wave to her grandchildren. She enjoyed golf with her husband and friends. She was known by these friends as "long ball Call" and could outdrive her husband, but admitted that he could throw his clubs further than she could. They spent many enjoyable hours together. She was known for her adventurous spirit. She went to California on one occasion and slept in the park with her granddaughters when no hotel rooms were available. She loved any carnival ride that flew high and flipped often, especially the Giant Racer at Lagoon. She is survived by her children, Richard and Sue Ann Call, Mary Ann and Kumen Jones, and Barbara Call. She was preceded in death by her father and mother, a brother Donald and a sister Beth, and her husband. She was a kind and gracious woman and always a lady. She will be greatly missed.
