Teresa “Marie” Gunther passed into the eternal world on Tuesday, May 30th after completing 74 fruitful years. Marie was born in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 19, 1943. Her parents are Robert Henderson Denning and Teresa Jones. She grew up in Boulder City, Nevada, graduating from high school there before attending college where she met and married her husband Larry. Marie graduated from BYU with a BS degree in math and education in 1966. Following that, she and her husband moved all over the country as Larry pursued his career: Salt Lake City, Washington DC, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, Massachusetts, Kansas, Indiana, New York, and Illinois. Marie and Larry raised five children along the way. Marie had a passion for service, family history and temple work, music, and information technology. She started work on a nursing degree at Indiana University but was interrupted when her husband transferred to New York City and then Boston. In 2002, following her husband’s retirement, the couple commenced a string of back-to-back missions (foreign and domestic).
