Almeda J Ranck
July 28, 1926 - August 27, 2017
Almeda J Ranck, 91, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, 27 August 2017 in Orem, Utah, from natural causes incident to age. She is survived by one son, three daughters, 23 grandchildren, and 54 great-grandchildren. Born, Almeda Brinkerhoff Johnson, on 28 July 1926 to Harold Tiverton Johnson and Chloe Brinkerhoff, she was the third of seven children. Almeda married the love of her life, Robert Allen Ranck (Bob), on 4 June 1947. She is preceded in death by her parents, all of her siblings, her husband, a son, and a great-granddaughter. Almeda had two great loves in her life – her love for her family and her love of temple service for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She spent much of her life dedicating herself to her family and serving in both the New Zealand and Las Vegas temples. Almeda also devoted her life to serving others, often choosing to go without so she could help others. Following the death of her beloved husband, Bob, in 1999, Almeda served two missions for the Church. She was called to the Ventura California Mission, shortly after his death, to serve in the Mission Office. She loved her service with the Sisters and Elders. She was later called to the Auckland New Zealand Mission to serve in the temple. She grew to love the Maori people very quickly and spoke often of their love and generosity. Working in the business world was one of her life’s distinguished accomplishments and took great pride in her skills as an office administrator which she carried in every aspect of her life. She retired from Brigham Young University following many years of service. She loved her job, the people, and the environment in which she worked. A small family viewing will be held on Tuesday, 5 September 2017 at Utah Valley Mortuary, 1966 West 700 North, Lindon, Utah. A Graveside Service will follow, at 11:00 am, at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, 3401 South Highland Dr, Salt Lake City, Utah. Funeral Directors: Utah Valley Mortuary.
