RUTH ROSENLOF VANCE

 

 

Ruth Vance

died March 29, 2024

Ruth Elizabeth Rosenlof Vance, age 83, of Mt. Pleasant Utah passed away March 29, 2024 Born on February 9, 1941 to Harold and Reiva Andersen Rosenlof of Mt. Pleasant, Utah.

She married Charles Bert Vance of Fairview July 2, 1960. He passed away way too young at the age of 33 on March 23, 1969.

She's the mother of two children: daughter Vicki Jo Vance who passed away May 10, 1967 ten days shy of her fifth birthday. Nine days later, they welcomed their son Mark Shane Vance. After Vicki Jo and Bert passed away within two years of each other, Mother thought the end of the world had hit. She was only 28 years old at the time and still had her two-year-old son to raise. Ruth was always protective yet supportive and said the "sky was the limit for her boy Mark". She would often say "he was the Golden Egg so of course he was the Golden Boy!"

Ruth attended local schools. She was an excellent student in all her classes and well liked throughout her years in school. She was a drum majorette and worked on the yearbook.

She also had beautiful penmanship, was quick-witted and fun to be around which followed her throughout her life. She graduated from North Sanpete High School, class of 1959.

Back in the day when Ruth was being raised, there were always chores to be done at home after school. Mother always commented that she would never wash another milk bucket or pick raspberries again. She would gladly eat them if picked by another, however she stood by her word and never washed a milk bucket or picked raspberries again!

Mother tended to many children in her growing up years and often told of these times. She would save her wage of a quarter an hour to purchase a Jantzen sweater and once had a bedspread on lay away that she never thought she would own.

She also worked at the telephone office when the phone system was answered through the switchboard and all calls incoming and outgoing would be connected and re-directed to the party to whom they wanted to speak with. Sometimes there would be some listening in on calls to pass the time way. She waited tables in a few cafes in Mt. Pleasant for a few years. She then went to work as a cashier at Safeways in Mt. Pleasant and worked there for a short time when Safeway shutdown. Mother told of her walking home that day and outstepped Terrel Seely who had a small grocery store down the block. He asked her if she would like to come to work for him. She often said she was out of work for a whole 10 minutes and then would chuckle! Ruth found her niche which led her to work for Terrel and in check stand #5 which was the most popular check stand for almost 49 years. This is where mother's personality really surfaced, and she could and would talk on any subject. She always had her spin or version of the situation, and she could handle any type of conversation with her colorful use of language. When talking with Ruth if you didn't want to hear or know about it, then don't ask about it." She was well rounded on any subject ranging from A to Z.

Ruth was always complimented on her thick head of hair, once she finally had some, and the beautiful color for most of her adult life.

Down through the years Ruth belonged to several clubs from pinochle and bridge to Bonko. She was always a fun lady to be around, and you always knew you could depend on her to make you laugh. Strong and special friendships grew through the years with all the ladies that she enjoyed going to club with.

Mother gave freely of her time over the years and volunteered to plant and weed Mt. Pleasant City flower beds. Alongside her was her best friend Sandra Bigler and son Mark. Many fun and mischief times were had and encountered for 18 years!

Ruth was always a very good cook and liked to keep a nice yard and home. She always had very special and amazing friends that ranged from grade school and friends at work. Two of her most treasured friends are Sandra Bigler and Glenna Riddle. Their friendship has carried on throughout her lifetime and brought so much joy and sunshine into her life.

Ruth is survived by her son Mark Shane Vance, Mt Pleasant, Utah. Sister Dixie Rosenlof (Tracy) Lewis, Springville, Utah., Sister-in-law Beth Mills Rosenlof, Woods Cross, Utah., and many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by her daughter Vicki Jo, husband Bert, her parents, brother Travis Rosenlof, sister Sally Rosenlof (Clair) Faux, and brother Roger Rosenlof. In laws Glen and Marjorie Fowles Vance, Fairview, Utah.

A special thank you to the Caboose of the family Dixie and her every patient husband Tracy Lewis for all the love and support throughout her life. Also, a big thank you to Terrel's Market, this was her home away from home. She had so many friends and coworkers and treasured memories. We would also like to thank her incredible IHC Hospice care team of Tyler, Kallie, and Heather; physical therapist Kirt Terry for their tender loving care shown to Ruth in her final days.

Pleasant Utah, to Harold "R" Rosenlof & Reiva Elizabeth Anderson. He was the 4th child and second son. He had an older brother Travis, older sisters Sally & Ruth and younger sister Dixie.

Roger grew up on the farm. He spent much of his time helping his father and grandfather with the sheep, cattle, hay etc. He was not fond of this work to say the least growing up, nor as an adult. He graduated from North Sanpete High School in 1961. In his High School yearbook a classmate wrote, "past tease, present tease and future tease." He would sometimes help his brother Travis haul and deliver coal. Roger was also a member of the Utah National Guard, serving in the 1457th Engineer Battalion, 116th Engineer Company in Mt Pleasant Utah.

He married Beth Mills 2 March 1968 in Ogden, Utah. They were sealed later in the Salt Lake City Temple on 3 June 1983. They are the parents of two children, Michelle and Cameron. Roger has one grandson Shandon Roger Jones. Roger lived all of his adult life in Woods Cross, Utah.

He worked for Mountain Fuel Supply Company in Salt Lake City as an industrial meter setter and retired from Mountain Fuel after 24 years of service. He also had a part-time job while working for Mountain Fuel at the Browning Freight Company. After retiring from Mountain Fuel, he worked as a casual for ABF Freight. He worked a total of 20 years at the two freight companies. During retirement he liked to meet his friends at the coffee shops. Roger was very good with his hands and enjoyed making things such as walking sticks and other items. He was a very good welder.

One of his favorite things was to have a few pets. He loved dogs and had a "cat calling" Cockatiel. His dogs were like additional children, and he took them with him most everywhere.

He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and anything outdoors. He loved to take his motorhome to Mt. Pleasant and camp out for a couple of weeks every year. He enjoyed riding his side by side on the Skyline.

Roger is survived by his wife Beth, daughter Michelle, son Cameron and grandson Shandon and by his sisters Ruth and Dixie. And of course, his dog Bailee and his Cockatiel, Taylor.
