LuDene was an amazing grandma, mother and wife.  Her life was dedicated to her family and serving others.  She was a friend to everyone.  Cooking, baking, and gardening were some of her talents that she readily shared with others.  Many plates of food were delivered to someone that needed a little love and support.  She was actively involved in genealogy work.  She enjoyed working in her yard and spending time with family.  She was active in her church and her greatest joy was seeing her grandchildren learn to love the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to live happy and fulfilling lives.  She was a great example to all around her and touched many lives through her selfless acts of service.  She will be greatly missed.
