I too am grateful for the good fortune of being born in a close knit, large family, with loving Aunts and Uncles. I am thankful for the strong values and great influence they have had upon my life. I love them all, each one is very special! Just one experience to share is with Aunt Joann. In August 2002, eleven members of Darrel & Beatrice's family along with honorary member Aunt Joann, took a wondrous cruise to Alaska. Since we all had our spouses, mom needed a companion too. Next to Dad, we knew who would be her choice. Aunt Joan agreed to go and was so caring and wonderful to mom. Aunt Joann forgot her needs and was by mom's side the whole time. What a special time they shared. Aunt Joann is always good-natured , smiling and thinking of others--someone you want to be around. A Thankful Niece, Patti

> I loved working at the Frost Top (not sure that was how it was spelled) for Uncle Kenneth. It was really fun to roller skate to & from the cars. Especially when I didn't fall down! Uncle Kenneth finally made me give up the skates & just walk back & forth (liability?). I'm not sure if he was concerned about me or the cars I was falling on. I was in junior high school, made good money in the summer & lots of cute boys came in. Ahhh, the good old days of the 60's! Oh yeah, that's my age now - yikes!!

Gary: You were always the favorite of all the Aunts AND Uncles (of course, we know they had 67 favorites). Joane

Laneil: Thank you for sharing your childhood with the Gardners. I remember how beautiful you and all your sisters were and are. Of course, Nola Jean tried to babysit me and I was the biggest whiner ever. I, in turn, was privileged to babysit Claire, Debbie, Jeana, Kurt and Krissy. I loved your sweet mom and Aunt Lorene was the kindest, sweetest woman I think I ever meant. I loved going to your old home and your mom would be washing TONS of clothes, Joel was always practicing basketball and all you sisters were always getting "dressed-up" for dates. Your mom was down on her knees using a big, old brush to scrub the floors. She also taught me in 5th grade and was the best teacher who was compassionate, smart and loved her students. Uncle Delos was the principle when I was in high school and he was always pretty upset with me--but he always took care of grandma, his children and all his brothers and sisters. Joane
Gary here: Gen, Cumora and Maxine sang "Give me strength" at my farewell. When I see them I would always say give me strength. Gen always had to ref play fights between Les and me. Cumora was the one that always wanted a cheer and that has been going on for many years. I used to tend JoAnn's kids and always liked to because they had potato chips which we never had. It has been fun to talk to Aunt JoAnn about Vern and the many people I have met who knew him and I shared stories with her and she always listened intently. All three aunts have always been very kind to me. I guess I was their favorite nephew. Keep up the good work. Gary

I do have some memories of the aunts and uncles. I remember Aunt Maxine and Aunt Gen when they were in the service and came home on leave. They looked so awesome in their uniforms. Grandma Gardner lived along the main highway in Afton and we would congregate there to see them. They would take us out in the yard and lead us as we marched around.
When I was in high schoool, Dad and the uncles purchased the Orange and Black Drive-In in Rock Springs. We spent several summers working in Rock Springs. The first summer I lived with Aunt Marguerite and babysat Leah Rae and Al Dee. I actually lived with them. The next two or three summers I worked at the drive-in. Aunt Gen and Aunt Dorothy worked there, too. What fun we had!! Aunt Gen was married to Uncle Les and Aunt Maxine was married to Uncle Van. They both lived at Stansbury, which was a mining town just out of Rock Springs. Kathy and Kirk were the cutest little kids. It was so fun to go out to Stansbury and visit them. I don't think the town even exists anymore. Aunt Gen always took my side if there were any difficulties--I remember one time when I got into trouble with Aunt Marguerite and she slapped my face. Aunt Gen was there to coddle me until Dad came from Afton. It didn't take him long to defuse the situation! Aunt Dorothy had such a fun sense of humor. We have such fond memories of those days.
I got into trouble another time. Aunt Beatrice and Uncle Darrell lived close to us. We lived in the old Will Gardner home and it was just down the road from the old Gardner home where Uncle Darrell and Aunt Beatrice lived. Anyway, Aunt Beatrice called on the phone and wanted me to babysit Mike and Linda. Now, they weren't the easiest kids to babysit and I said I didn't want to babysit them--along with some other choice comments. I didn't realize Aunt Beatrice was still on the phone. When Mother hung up the phone, she was so angry with me. I had to go up to Aunt Beatrice's and apologize. (I must admit that that wasn't the only time my "mouth" got me into trouble!)
I was in high school when Uncle Vern reached his fame at the U. I kept a scrapbook of every newspaper article that I could find about him--which I gave him after he finished school. It was several inches thick. I was such a fan!! I remember when he courted Aunt JoAnne. He was so in love. The song "The Girl That I Marry" was popular then, and we heard it about a million times. She was a beautiful young lady and is still beautiful today. Uncle Vern wasn't too much older than we were, so we especially have fond memories of him. We always went to Grandma Gardner's house for Christmas and slept upstairs. One Christmas morning I wasn't fast enough for Uncle Vern, so he grabbed me around the waist like a sack of sugar and literally carried me down the stairs to the parlor.
I learned what a sense of humor Uncle Lincoln and Aunt Phyllis had when they came to visit us in Rapid City. I was really embarrassed with my kids when they short-sheeted their bed and stuffed paper in Uncle Lincoln's boots. Uncle Lincoln and Aunt Phyllis were such good sports and laughed about it.
We are so fortunate to be from such a loving family. I have nothing but good memories of all of the aunts and uncles.

Favorite memory of Grandma Gardner
Each summer Dad and Mom would take me to Afton to stay with Grandma Gardner for a whole week. I have many memories about Ivory Soap, bottled cherries, sitting on a red stool eating fried chicken, a singing canary, watching Grandma do wash with her old ringer washer, sleeping on the feather bed, watching The Price Is Right every morning. One night Cecile and I decided to go out late and see what was in the neighbors gardens and just have fun. Our plan was she would come after dark, knock on the bedroom window I was sleeping in, and then I would crawl out. Well I went to bed dressed and waited for Cecile. She finally came and I just got out of the window, when I heard the window shade open with a loud FLAP, FLAP, FLAP!! There stood Grandma Gardner in her night gown looking very frightened........ "I, thought there was a burgler coming to take you away," she said. Boy did we get into trouble the next day!!! The aunts where all at Aunt Dorthy's crying and talking about what we had done to scare poor Grandma Gardner. I don't know if she liked me much after that. Do you remember this Cecile?? Cousin Patty
I spent a lots of nights with Grandma because she didn’t like to stay alone. She was particularly afraid of thunder and lightning. That old feather bed of hers needed a lot of beating with a broom. It took some time to please her. Some times I would slough off to see what she would do. Pretty soon I would find her in the room with a broom beating it herself.. Julia

I remember Grandma rocking me and singing to me before my afternoon nap when she was tending me while Mom was teaching school. I remember her faith. When I stayed overnight with her we always knelt for prayer before breakfast. When she had part of her liver removed and was not expected to live much longer she would not go to bed at night without a Priesthood blessing. She lived many years after that. I remember her industriousness and always wanting a clean, neat and tidy house. She taught me to clean it even if it didn't look dirty, that way she said, it would always stay clean. I remember quilting bees at her house and playing underneath the quilt while everyone was quilting. She was a great inspiration to me. When I had my first baby, I remember thinking who on earth would ever want to go through this twice. I thought of grandma doing it 13 times. When I lost my husband Jerry, when I lost my son, Jed, I thought of Grandma and the fact that she had managed through the same trials and I could do it too. I am grateful for this strong and faithful woman. Judy
Just before my mission in April of 1967, she visited us in West Point and I had what I consider my first real chat with her and we posed together for a picture that is memorable to me. It was the last time I saw her and I am grateful for those hours together. Suzanne

What is your favorite memory of Grandma Gardner?
Favorite Memory - My Rook partner I knew her at a time when she was younger than when she was during the times most of you describe. She lived in 4 different homes in Afton when I was there. Kayleen stayed with Grandma much of the time when I was young so I visited with them often. During my high school years I remember many Rook games where I teamed up with Grandma. She was as good as anyone in the family. She was not yet 70 years old when I knew her best, and that seems pretty young these days. About the time I graduated from high school she went with Vern to Philadelphia. I moved from Afton and did not see her much after that time.
Every time I drive the road between Montpelier and Afton, I think of my first trip along that road. It was with Grandma, and she told me not to look down because it would be too frightening for me. Kendell
Does anybody remember the old 78 record grandma had recorded singing?? I remember listening to it but cannot remember the song. The quality was not so hot and it was very scratchy but mom had a copy of it and cried every time she played it. Most of you younger "kids" won't even remember the old 45 and 78 vinyl records. Joane

Grandma Gardner must have been a strong woman in charge to have been able to raise so many strong-minded children - many who loved to debate and argue. She would have had to be "tough" yet loving. I have a lot of respect and admiration for her. Nancy
I remember Grandma Gardner being the boss in the house. This was interesting when she had all her big sons there especially Vern. There never was any question who was in charge. She always seemed glad to see me and had a special way of making me feel important. Joel

I hope you are still taking comments about Grandma Gardner because I have so many memories of her. I used to stay with her often at night and remember many nights walking the long block from our home to hers in my jammies. She had the most quaint wood stove and oven ever seen and she always prepared a huge breakfast. If I didn't feel like eating she would give me a big dose of paregoric.
She always told all of the grandbabies how "lazy" we were and was known to "wash our mouths out" with homemade bars of soap. I remember her making this soap with huge vats of "fat" and lye. She was the first person I saw kill a chicken with her bare hands and that was gruesome! Something you just can't forget, especially when it is fried up for dinner.
She wall papered her house so many times it was pulling off the walls but this was her yearly spring cleaning. When we slept at grandmas we slept on feather beds and had to shake them out every morning and make-up the beautiful brass beds. She always offered food when we entered her house and it was usually very stale cookies. She would always dye her hair and it could be very unusual colors of pink, purple, blue.
She would make us either hide in the closet or on the feather beds when there was even a hint of lightening. She always wore a beautiful hat to Sunday School on Sunday and there was always a crocheted hankie tucked in her waist belt. We had fun dressing up and wearing all the hats, some even had netting over our face. She loved listening to her old radio--especially basketball especially when it was her grandsons and BYU. I think it was Vern or Delos who bought her first TV and it was sports or Ed Sullivan.
I could never imagine someone having 13 children but she loved them all as her favorite and always sent her grandchildren a birthday card--until there were so many of us she couldn't keep up. She taught me how to crochet, do laundry with a wringer, mow the lawn with a push mower and laugh! I have some wild stories and Lea Rae helped me make some of them like sneaking out of the bedroom window because she made us go to bed so early.
She was very political and that is when I heard my first swear word when she spoke of "Damn Cats". She was very firm in her beliefs and I am pretty sure that is where most of us learned to argue. I never saw her back off a good debate. She had a great sense of humor and I remember her laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes.
Grandma had a picture of her husband in her bedroom and she often talked of her love for him. She was so proud of her children and her heritage. She had so much love for all of us and even though she could be stern and crotchety, I loved her. Her children took such loving care of her and each other.
She always kneeled down at her bedside at night and gave thanks to her Heavenly Father and asked for protection for her large and growing family. She had a very strong belief in her religion and a strong testimony of being with her loved ones in the after life. Sometimes I hated walking the long, cold block to spend the night with Grandma but now wish I would have taken note of those good times more carefully. Joane
I was also afraid of Grandma. I remember a time that we stayed with her in Afton and she fixed clam chowder. I hate clams, so I wouldn't eat it, and she got mad at me for being a "picky" eater. I learned to stay close to Vernie, and then she was much nicer to me. She's the only person on earth that I know of that had some kind of control over my dad. He surely loved her. Though I didn't really feel like I had a personal relationship with her, I grew to love and admire the life she lived and the wonderful family she produced. Karen

I asked the question "What is your favorite memory of Grandma Gardner".
Here are a few answers.
Long conversations with her about family and religion, especially what life will be like in the hereafter. Delworth
The back room at her house in Afton where we all got to sleep when we stayed at her house. I was young but I do remember she had a snap in her personality. She seemed happy and laughing a lot but she also had a side that scared me a little. No disrespect! Geneal
By the time I came along she was very old and to be honest the scariest woman I ever met! The perspective of a very young boy no doubt! Steve Gardner
Thanks for answering the question.

Thanks Kem and Carolyn
Kem sure knows how to throw a PARTY. We had a lot of fun, the food was great. We had 36 - 38 cousins depending on who was counting. I'll have to count them in the pictures. It was beautiful and I think that all had a great time. Sorry that some of you couldn't make it this year. Maybe next year you can come. Kem gave us all sweaters that say Gardner 66. (Which my family is modeling.) Really nice, Thanks.
It was a beautiful day and the yard was filled with chairs for the cousins. Which were filled up, not a chair to spare. Some had to sit on the balcony.
Danny, Nancy and Mike did a wonderful job. Everything looked so nice.
The food was delicious, and all you could eat. The salads were really yummy and it was just really good. Thanks Danny, Nancy and Mike. I didn't get a photo of the bread pudding, that sure was tasty.Tuesday, April 19, 2011

Linda Gardner Schofield
It is with great sadness that I tell you my dear wife passed away mar 7th. The funeral will most likley be on Sat. March 12th.
Lindquist & Sons mortuary in Layton, Utah will handle the funeral.
Nolan
Our dear Linda passed away Monday night, March 7th, around 9:30 p.m. She had pneumonia and was also bleeding internally. Her organs had also began to shut down. Pat and I had visited with her Saturday and she was actually awake then. Even had big smiles. All her family were with her Sunday and Monday. No more pain and suffering. I can imagine the sweet reunion she had with all of the family. We have not heard about a funeral yet. When we get the details we will let you know. It will be 1 year on March 11th that our sweet mother passed. Just like she said, "Life goes by too quick". How true. Thanks for all your prayers. Darrelyn
Our dear, sweet sister Linda Schofield passed away peacefully lastnight Monday, March 7th about 9:50 p.m. @ SL Regional Hospital. The viewing and funeral information will follow as soon as we know. We express our sincere love to Nolan and his family for their love and devotion to her throughout her long illness. She is having a glorious reunion with Mom and Dad, Eddie and many famiily and friends, free from the pain and sickness she endored. Thank you so much! Pat
I went up to see Linda last Friday afternoon. Nolan was by her side as always. Their 50th anniversary would have been on St. Patrick's Day. She was such a sweet, loving person. She has endured so much. I will miss her sweet spirit but I'm sure she is free from pain and enjoying a great reunion with Uncle Darrel, Aunt Beatrice, and Eddy. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Diane Mallory Goodman
I am truly sorry for your loss, Nolan, and family. I was with Aunts Cumora and Gen last night and they both spoke of Linda's beautiful smile and what a wonderful mother and wife she has been. We rejoice in the reunion going on with all of her love ones. We pray for you all, Greg
Nolan, So sorry to hear about Linda...our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family...
Steve Gardner
