Ada loved dolls. She was a fantastic knitter she could knit up a storm, her knitting was flawless, and looked like machine work. To help pay for her hobby of collecting dolls she opened a little shop by her home where she would knit and crochet doll clothes for people to buy. She would always make something to enter into the Wasatch County Fair and would win a blue ribbon every time, sometimes she would win the grand champion.
The last 4 years Ada has been in the Rocky Mountain Care Center, where she has made a lot of new friends. She was really excited to move into the new facility, but was not able to make that move.
Ada was preceded in death by her parents. Her husband Bill and son Billy. She is survived by her son Terry (Kena), Larry (Mel), Cyndi ( Billy’s wife) and 6 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
