Glesna Grigg
Glesna Gray Crocker Grigg 89, of Caldwell, died Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2007, at her daughter's home in Parma. Viewing will be from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Friday, Feb. 2, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Everett Building, Caldwell. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 following the viewing . Interment will follow at Canyon Hill Cemetery. Services are under the direction of Flahiff Funeral Chapel, Caldwell.
Glesna was born April 28, 1917, in Nickerson, Neb., to Ira Enis Crocker and Nannie Gray Wilson Crocker. She attended schools in Idaho and Nebraska and Chadron State Teacher's College in Nebraska.
She married John Campbell and they had two daughters. When that marriage ended, she and her daughters moved to Idaho with her sister's family. She met and married Wilford Houghton and they had two sons. When that marriage was over, she decided that she would just stay single and concentrate on raising her children . She eventually met and married Heber Grigg, in Idaho Falls Temple after his cousin introduced them, and Heber became father to her children. They had a wonderful marriage and it must have been meant to be.
When she was a girl she was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Elkhorn River in Nebraska. She had a strong testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and lived a Christ-like life. She held many positions in the church. She loved genealogy and bought her first computer in her 80s so she could do the work for her ancestors and also do name extraction. She and Heber were in the first group of couples to serve when the Boise Temple opened. She was a wonderful person and never spoke an unkind word to anyone.
She was very talented at painting , which she took up in her 70s and her pictures adorn many walls. She did beautiful crochet work. She was very generous in giving others her crocheted work and always had a piece in progress near her chair.
Above everything else, she was devoted to her family. When she was about to become a greatgreat-grandmother , she just had to tell everyone she met. Each family member who had a birthday received a birthday card with a $5 bill in it and she sent cards to over 70 family members! Every Christmas she made her favorite candies and gave dishes of them to family members.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, two sisters , one brother and one stepson.
She is survived by her children, Marlene (Fred) Jacobsen of Parma; Sandra (Dick) Hurley of UT; Gilbert (Sherry) Houghton of Caldwell; Nick Houghton of the world; Louise (Gerry) Garber of IL; and her sister Rachel Anderson of OK; her brother Wilbur Crocker of NV; and many grandchildren (great and great-great also), cousins, nieces and nephews. She was loved by all and will be missed.
Our thanks and gratitude go out to Dr. Allen and the other doctors who cared for her and also to Four Rivers Hospice, especially Margaret, Gay, Julia, Karen, Joyce and all who are associated with them. Their kindness and sensitivity is so much appreciated.
