(my parents and I with Grandma at Liberty, Id Cemetery)My grandma, ArVella Watts Poulsen, passed away November 24, 2008, at 88 years old. I miss Grandma, especially right around the holidays, but it really was such a blessing that it was her time to go. I know she is in a better place and is happy with Grandpa. I am so greatful for eternal families and for the fact that I will see her again. Here are some of the things I will remember about Grandma...
- Her testimony in the gospel and her unfailing faith.
- She really was the best cook in the world.
- You never left her house hungry. Even if you were full before, you didn't leave Grandma's without letting her stuff you with something else.
- Her laugh and smile.
- Her beautiful flowers. She would have me bring hair to her from the salon so she could sprinkle it around her flowers. This way, the deer wouldn't eat them. She swore that it worked... :)
- She never ever never never ever complained! Never. Ever.
- Her stories.
- She always made you feel good. All problems went away when Grandma was around.
- She loved her family! All 100 of us. (Grandpa, 5 children, 26 grand children, 67 great grand children, and 1 great great grand child) And that's not counting our spouses. She considered them her own as well (visa-versa). And we ALL loved her.
