In Memory of Irva Fillmore Huber
14 October 1903- 5 May 1987
You might like to know just a bit about her background. She was born in Colonial Dublan, Mexico. Her father was a teacher in Juarez Academy. He died in 1910 and because of the uprising of Poncho Villa, they were forced to leave in 1912.
She taught school in Mendon, Utah and attended the U.S.A.C. in the summers. While teaching in Midway she met her husband and they settled in the Uintah Basin. She worked hard as a farm wife and cooked big meals. She told me she never ate with the family, but waiting until they were all through and then she would slowly enjoy her meals. At that time she would read and study the scriptures and she also memorized scriptures while doing the dishes and she can still put many of us to shame. She still ate very slowly and we have had many good laughs over that.
She loved music, gave piano lessons, and still played til she died, even though her hands were stiff and sore with arthritis.
She had made many quilts, and her stitches were small and even, displaying another special quality.
Her keen sense of humor has made her the star of the show as she participated in dramas, roadshows, and skits.
Her compassion, dedication, and perseverance were qualities once again made known to us as she served as our ward Relief Society President.
Last but not least she is admired for her beautiful yard. Roses, geraniums, and a little garden.
