She was the third of five children and was raised on the family farm in Bountiful, Utah. She married her sweetheart, Rulon Wiseman, October 2, 1936.

Ed passed away on February 6, 1990. Mom was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints holding many callings and her love was working in the Primary organization. She was the Hello Girl on the switchboard at the Davis County Court House for many years and received great joy setting up the Davis County display at the State Fair, winning many ribbons. Mom was an active member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. Mom was always a care giver caring for her mother, husband, brothers and sisters, other relatives and gave service to many who came her way. She loved life and treated all that came her way with compassion and love. Mom is survived by her two children, Carolyn (Julian) Dicks and Ralph (Judy) Wiseman; 8 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; 28 great-great-grandchildren; and a brother, Haven Burningham.
