Angelica G Byrd Obituary (1922 - 2011)

Angelica G. Byrd April 11, 1922 - August 7, 2011 We are thankful that our dear mother has finally ended her painful journey. She was an accomplished woman in many areas. She was a successful entrepreneur, owning two businesses in Wyoming before moving to Ogden, UT. We enjoyed many gourmet meals, ornate Christmas cookies and breads. Mother was a skilled seamstress and has left us with beautiful crocheted doilies and knitted baby blankets. Angelica could study a flower arrangement in a store display and reproduce it at home. She also enjoyed painting with water colors and oils. Always an avid learner, she instilled in her family a lifelong love of learning. Mother was preceded in death by our father, Arlie F. Byrd; her son-in-law, Blaine Putnam and grandson, Richard Arlie Byrd. Surviving are her children, David (Michiko) Byrd, Arlene (Norman) Dean, Rayito (Blaine) Putnam, Roger Byrd, Richard Byrd and a special niece, Dora Bloomer. There are seven grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. We will strive to preserve and pass on her many talents and we will miss this elegant and classy lady who we were privileged to call "Mother." Thank you to Haven Hospice and Mt. Ogden Nursing Facility. We deeply appreciate the loving care she received from her private caregivers, Mercedes Cunningham and Debra Cole. Services will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, August 12, 2011 at Myers Ogden Mortuary, 845 Washington Blvd. Friends and family may gather from 1:30 to 1:55 prior to the service.
