Lenis C. Nunley 10/5/1933 ~ 7/19/2008 Our sweet and beautiful wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend passed away on a peaceful summer morning with her family by her side. She fought a brief but courageous battle with cancer and was reunited with her loved ones on July 19, 2008.Born October 5, 1933 in Joseph, UT to Antone Frank and Emily Jane Lott Christensen. She married the love of her life, Larry Nunley, June 16, 1950, and the marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake City Temple. They shared a very special love for each other. Mom loved the outdoors, scrapbooking and most importantly her family. Her outgoing spirit and witty personality will be greatly missed. She brought out the best in us and always made us laugh. She was a dedicated employee of Cottonwood Hospital for 15 years in the Surgical Unit and worked with Dr. Lieberman of Hemet, California for 10 years. Her greatest acheivement was being the best wife, mom, grandma and homemaker. As an active member of the LDS Church, she enjoyed her many callings. She is survived by her loving husband of 58 years; brother, Vern (Deloris) Christensen, Midvale, UT; her three daughters Lenis Jeanine (Mike) Rasmussen of West Jordan; Lorraine Moore of Ephraim; Janet Dyann Benjamin of Ephraim; her devoted grandchildren Jennifer, Kimberly, Margie, Stacey, Robert, Alison, Jesse, Lindsay, Windy, Mason and 21 great-grandchildren.
