Darlene A. Bruderer

This earth was blessed with an angel on May 12, 1940. Darlene was born to Charles Duncan Rigby and Anna Julia Byington, the second of six children. She attended school in Garfield and Tooele, Utah.

She married Raymond Alfred Bruderer on November 16, 1957 in Logan, Utah.

They were blessed with 4 children; Donna Ann (J Richard Garrett), Sandra Dee (Greg Eugene Huskey), Raymond Charles (Julie), and Richard (Jeanie).

She dearly loved her 16 Grandchildren and 31 Great Grandchildren and took pleasure in telling each one, individually, that he or she was her favorite.

She enjoyed handicrafts of all kinds but excelled at cake decorating which was not only her hobby but also her profession. She worked as a cake decorator for Marriott Food Service at ISU Student Union for 10 years. Her cakes were legendary.

She was a member of the LDS Church and loved serving in Cub Scouts, Primary, as a Stake Missionary, and in Relief Society especially as a Stake Relief Society Secretary.

She enjoyed vacation trips to the coast with her family, fishing, hunting, touring Hawaii with Ray, and treasured the trips she took with her Sisters-in-Law.

Throughout her life she survived 4 open heart surgeries and struggled with diabetes and kidney failure. She has been in continual pain for numerous years but bravely endured faithfully to the end.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Charles Larry Rigby (Joyce), and her sisters Gloria May Kartchner, Joyce Carolyn Sorenson (Al), and Karen LaVon Thompson (Elrod). She is survived by her husband Ray, their posterity and her brother Jerry Laval Rigby (Sharon).

She was the kindest woman we ever knew, generous to a fault, and she loved unconditionally.

She returned home to our Father-in-Heaven on the 10th of June 2016 and the Heavens rejoiced!
