She was born to Paul Lund and Violet Reynolds on April 21, 1935 in Eager, Ariz. She was born 1 hour after her twin brother. Together they weighed almost 14 lbs. She grew up during the great depression and enjoyed spending time with her siblings and cousins. Her family was poor but she was always happy.

She then went on to teach her own grand daughters how to sing and play the piano.

She lost her twin brother in 1951 at 16. She married the love of her life Sonnie on Aug 7, 1953. They had 5 children together, 3 daughters and 2 sons, Valerie, Pauniece, Charles “Bud”, Randy and Lisa.

On top of being a homemaker she was an avid member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She served many callings including Relief Society President. She loved working with the young women’s group. She cherished the time she spent with her grand kids and great-grand kids. Her family and her faith were the most important to her.

The family would like to thank Compassus Hospice as well as many others who helped care for our Mother, Grandmother and friend. She was loved by many.
