Trudy Ann Williams Jarvis...\"One Day At A Time\" Born March 30, 1943 and passed away and went home on November 20, 2013. She was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Neil Campbell Williams and June Marceil Grant.
She grew up in many beautiful homes built by her father in Bountiful and Salt Lake. She attended schools in Salt Lake but at East High, in 1958, she met the love of her life, Michael Kirkham Jarvis, they were married, September 5, 1963 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Over their 55 years together he has been by her side, even in her final moments. He has given her great care and love which is eternal. Mom loved the Savior and loved being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Her favorite place to be was in the Primary with the little children.
She and Dad were blessed with four children, Heidi, Lisa, Andrew and Joe. She was always our biggest fan, you could always hear her Whoot! Whoot! in the crowd. We as a family have been blessed with a mom who endured with strength and courage. Her words of counsel and wisdom have sustained all of us each day of our lives. For over 30 years she has faced the challenges of Polycystic Kidney Disease, two kidney transplants and 15 years of Dialysis plus many other health issues. Through all this many dear friends, staff, dialysis techs, Doctors and Nurses have loved and helped her and our family. So many referred to her as the \"Energizer Bunny\" because she just kept going and going. We wish to express a special thanks to Dr. Robert Bond, Dr. James Stinson, Dr. Richard Lambert and the love of Valerie Lambert. In her final days we would like to thank the Garden Terrace Care Center and especially I.H.C. Hospice and staff for all of their final love and care. She loved to write poems, her final poem.
I am Home.
My day has come.
I leave with joy.
I enter a new life, ready for new challenges.
I tried my best to pass this test.
The memories of my dear ones I take with me.
Don\t cry for me, I feel loved.
