Edna Bair

May 11, 1927 - January 25, 2018

Edna Mae Bair was born 11 May 1927 at Missouri Heights, near Carbondale, Colorado to Ira Carel Green and Ora Almedia Kimbro. She was the fourth child of eight children.   She lived her entire life on Missouri Heights until she met and married her husband of 73 years, Glen Harold Bair.  She is the mother of six children; Glen Edward (Diane) Bair, Dale LaVar (Linda) Bair, Lynda Louise Price, Donna (Joe) Robinson, Leah Darlene (Ralph) Pierce, and Edna Joy (Glaid) Giles.  She has 26 grandchildren, 89 great-grandchildren and 20 great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ira and Ora Green, her four brothers- Othel, Edward, Lowell, and Billy and two sisters-Faye and Eva Lee and 2 great-grandchildren.  Her sister Vada is still living.  She loved and respected her parents with all her heart. They grew huge gardens and fed the entire family mostly with what they produced with their own hands.  She attended Katherine School through the eighth grade. Mother's family was her life.  She worked hard to take care of her children.  She was always concerned that we had what we needed. If we didn't, we surely were not aware of it, because her love made up for it.  We always felt loved and secure.  She was a wonderful example of love and kindness and service to others.  When anyone came to her house, they never left hungry.  She was a great cook and homemaker.   Mom worked at Bullocks Department Store, Hested's Variety Store in Glenwood Springs, Colorado; Firmage's Department Store in Provo, Utah; at the Joseph Smith Living Center at Brigham Young University, cooking lunch for the preschool children and at Grandview Grade School. She served in many positions in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  She loved the Gospel and was a true example of living it to the fullest and supporting Dad in all of his callings.    When She and Dad lived in Tonga, where Dad was working for BYU, she made cakes and bread and would give it to the children who would come to her house.  Her favorite thing to do while on their mission in France, was to cook for the missionaries. It helped curb homesickness she felt for her family to have the missionaries in their home. They spent some time in Mexico City doing work at the church school and from there they went to work in the Hurst Mansion while waiting to go to Tonga.  Mom returned home to her Father In Heaven on Janurary 25, 2018.  She was at her home on Grandview Hill where her and Dad have lived since 1969.  She was our true ANGEL!
