Ellen Bundy Peabody

Ellen Bundy Peabody died suddenly October 7, 2015 in Bountiful, Utah at the age of 91. She was born September 24, 1924 in St. George, Ut. She was the fourth child of 11 children to Omer and Rowena Whitmore Bundy. Her childhood days were quite different from most people her age; it was like that of a pioneer girl. She was raised on the Arizona Strip where she attended a one room country school for church, school, and all the community celebrations until she was eleven; then her family moved into St. George. She married young and had 4 children: Ivo, Raylene, Donna and Valoy. She moved to Bountiful in 1949 and worked hard to provide a living for herself and her children as a single mother. She worked for 35 years at two clothing stores for tall women in downtown Salt Lake. She loved to dress up and fix up and always looked beautiful. She was content to share her life with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, siblings, relatives, and friends. What made her the happiest was putting on a feast for family and friends. She loved yard work, digging in the soil, planting flowers and a garden. She just plain and simply loved life. She was always so grateful for each new day and for the good health she had been blessed with. She expressed often her gratitude for her many blessings. She was cheerful, kind, and loved by everyone. She was always active in the LDS church. She leaves behind her four children, 21 grandchildren, 65 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her brother, Emer Bundy, twin sister, Nora Reid, and 3 grandchildren.
