Therma & Florence Tanner

Florence was a faithful life long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was a devoted mother and made a good home for her family. She enjoyed oil painting, cooking, sewing, handwork and gardening. She loved reading and had a lifelong love of learning, She took as many adult classes as she could, but loved oil painting the best. She took oil painting lessons from many private teachers and then took night classes from Weber College for two years. She then taught oil painting in her home studio for over 20 years. She suffered a tragic accident that made her right hand and arm useless, which ended her art career instantly. After many years she was able to use her arm and hand again, but by then had lost most of her eyesight.
