OBITUARY

Our treasured wife and mother, Ila Parker Reid, passed away on Tuesday, October 20, 1998 at her home in Bountiful, Utah of pancreatic cancer. She was surrounded by her loving husband, Charles Richard Reid, and her children.

She was born November 7, 1932 in Mount Sterling, Cache County, Utah, the daughter of Henry R. and Sadie H. Parker. Growing up in Ogden, early in life she distinguished herself as a gifted musician while attending Weber High School, Weber State College, and Brigham Young University.

She married Charles Richard Reid June 1, 1951 in the Logan LDS Temple. They are the beloved parents of nine children and 43 grandchildren. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She always put family first, and expressed gratitude and faith in a loving Heavenly Father.

An accomplished artist, violinist, vocal soloist, pianist and organist, she taught music lessons for many years. Together with her daughters, they enjoyed sharing their musical talents in a variety of settings.

She loved gardening, keeping her yard beautiful and her African violets blooming. Sister Reid enjoyed callings as a Relief Society teacher, Young Women leader, cultural arts specialist and Primary president. Her beautiful organ music will be greatly missed.

She treasured her service in the Salt Lake Temple where she and her husband have served as ordinance workers. Although her spirit has departed this life, she left a legacy of example, service, artwork and memories that will remain. Her children and friends treasure her beautiful paintings hanging in their homes.
