Illa Dawn Brennan Obituary (1927 - 2010)

Illa Dawn Brennan UINTAH - Illa Dawn Brennan passed away June 30, 2010, at her home in Uintah, surrounded by her family who loved her dearly. She was born November 2, 1927 in Morgan Utah, to George C and Ethel Jones Smith. She Married Philip James Brennan, January 5, 1945, in Red Lodge Montana. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple, January 5, 1971. Illa was a loving mother to eight children, grandmother to fourteen, great-grandmother to nineteen, with six great-great-grandchildren. Illa worked for Davis County School District as a cook for seventeen years. She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, serving in many church positions, including Primary Historian, Teacher, Relief Society Counselor, and Music Director. She did genealogy and Temple work. She loved flowers, music, art, and crafting, and she was gifted in all of them. Mom laughed at her own human frailties, she showed compassion and love for others, and was spunky about right and wrong. Illa is survived by her children; Aires Leming, Taylorsville, UT, Sandra Brennan, Kemmerer, WY, Marlon (Jasmin) Brennan, Kearns, UT, Phyllis Stordeur, CA, Robert (Robin) Brennan, Uintah, UT, Phil Brennan, Uintah, UT, and Alicia (Kevin) Judd, Clearfield, UT.
