They were later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple and spent 70 years together. Together they raised six children, Diana Bingham, Gwen Sant (deceased), Linda Staley, Rhonda Johnson, Richard Rhead and Annette Simpson. She was a determined and strong woman who accepted many church callings and found great joy in the gospel of Jesus Christ. She and her sweet Max served at the Ogden Genealogical Center and as Ogden Temple ordinance workers. LaWana supported Max in his calling of Stake Patriarch. She transcribed hundreds of blessings. She also served faithfully in many ward and stake callings. LaWana developed her artistic talent in oil and watercolor paintings. Her beautiful paintings are proudly hung in places of honor.
