Alberta Mather
02/23/1941 - 02/03/2016
Alberta Heaps Mather passed away peacefully in her sleep Feb. 3, 2016. She was born Feb. 23, 1941. She is the daughter of Donna Gittins Teany and Albert and Donna Heaps. At age 11 she went to live with her aunt and uncle, Marlow and Vella Woodward. They became like parents to her. She attended Summit Elementary and graduated from Preston High School.
Alberta met her sweetheart, Maurice Mather, at a MIA activity. It was love at first sight! They were married April 8, 1960, in the Logan LDS Temple. They were the parents of seven children who loved them dearly.
Alberta was no stranger to hard work. In her youth, she worked on the family egg farm. Later, when she was married, she worked side-by-side with her husband on the farm. She worked many years for Cache County School District and made the best "lunch lady peanut butter bars" around.
She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings; her favorite being the compassionate service leader. She has always given her all to serving in the church.
Alberta was such a loving and humble person. She always put everyone's needs ahead of her own. She was a silent server to her family and to all those around her.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Maurice Mather; her parents, Donna Gittins Teany, Albert and Donna Heaps, and Marlow and Vella Woodward; and by her sisters, Shirley (Steve) Gracek and Fae Skabelund.
She is survived by her children Brian (Stephanie) Mather, Brad (Jean) Mather, David (Laura) Mather, Sheri Black, Kurt Mather, Gary Mather, Amy (Mark) Davis; 17 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and her siblings, Vella (Blaine) Durrant, Mary (Sam- deceased) Ritter, Maureen (Carlos) Elwood, Nancy (Don) Hobbs, Carol (Ken) Smith, Kent ( Mary Lou) Heaps and Kevin (Chris) Heaps.
Funeral services will be held at noon Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2016, at the Smithfield 16th Ward Chapel, 6575 N. 2400 West, in Amalga Utah.

We love and miss you Mom.
