Memories from Ted and Suzanne Crowther


We have a deep love and appreciation for Pat. She was one of the first to greet us when we moved into the Edgemont 5th Ward 30 years ago. Our children were in junior high school, high school and the orchestras at Farrer Jr. High, Timpview High and the Utah Valley Youth Symphony together. Pat was Suzanne’s visiting teacher for many years and set a high standard which she has followed in her own visiting teaching.


Most of all we appreciate her wonderful cheerful spirit, bright smile, genuine love, sincere friendship and love of our Savior and His gospel. Everything she did she excelled in. She is Suzanne’s favorite choir director and music conductor. Because she conducted left-handed, it was much easier to follow her direction from the organ. It was a pleasure to play under her direction. It was also a joy to watch her teach and lead the primary children in singing. When she directed, they sang like angels.


Ted appreciates all of Kent’s and Pat’s work in genealogy. What wonderful examples they set for all of us. We have appreciated being part of their extended family as we were on her family email list and enjoyed the updates and thoughts Pat included in her monthly email messages to her family. It was a sweet way to stay connected as we are serving a mission in the Netherlands. We are sorry that we could not be there for her and for the family because of our being in the Netherlands, but we have been praying and will continue to pray for the family at this important time.


Truly, Pat has lived, loved and served well. We celebrate her life and are excited for her opportunities to continue to serve and love beyond the veil. We are privileged to be her friend.
