Madeline M. Peterson

Madeline M. Peterson, age 77, passed away peacefully at home on June 6, 2015.  She was born in her childhood home in Antimony, Utah and was one of 8 children born to Ivan & Avera Montague.  Madeline was a fun-loving tomboy that helped her mother and father with everything she possibly could on the farm.  When she was 17 she met and fell in love with her sweetheart, Boyd McIntosh (1932 – 1968), they married while he was home on furlough December 29, 1954. She accompanied Boyd to California while he served in the Navy and they both returned to Utah in 1956.  Together they were blessed with four children; Patty (Don) Thomas, Bountiful, Mike (Clair) McIntosh, Lubbock, Texas, Makay (Cindy) McIntosh, Layton, and Matthew (Stephanie) McIntosh, Farmington.   In 1971 she married Larry J. Peterson (1933 – 2014) and became mom to Debra Peterson, Broomfield, Colorado, Mike (Tish) Peterson, West Jordan, and Susan (Jeff) Bobo, Mountain Green. Larry and Madeline were blessed with 43 years of a wonderful marriage, 18 beautiful grandchildren and 19 loving great grandchildren.  
Madeline was a beautiful woman with sparkling blue eyes and striking red hair and was lovingly called "Red" by family members and friends.  She had many talents and enjoyed cooking, baking, painting, crafts, embroidery, cross stitching, porcelain and ceramics but her most treasured role was being a mother and grandmother.  She would strike up a conversation with anyone and would leave everyone in her presence with a warm smile. She enjoyed spending time outdoors in the mountains but also enjoyed the time she spent traveling with her family to Hawaii, Mexico, Alaska, California, and Southern Utah.
Madeline was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints where she served faithfully in many callings. She had a strong testimony of her Savior's love and was a humble servant and example for all that loved her.  Madeline is survived by her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and sisters, Maribeth Garber and Margery Riga, and many loving nieces and nephews. Madeline was preceded in death by first husband, Boyd, second husband, Larry, son-in-law, Dennis Ahleen, her parents and siblings, Maurine, Cecil, Calvin, Peggy and Carlos.  
The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude for the kind and loving services provided by Barton Creek and South Davis Hospice.
