Our reason for going to Utah was not a fun one. Matt's mom was in a coma and passed away Friday, December 19. Here is her obituary..Thanks to all who offered support for Matt, it is not a fun or easy experience losing a parent.

Lynne Bates Curtis Lougy

Lynne was born on Oct. 5, 1946, to Elman Bates Curtis and Madelyn Huffman Curtis. Lynne returned home to her Heavenly Father on Dec. 19, 2008. Being a lifelong member of the LDS Church, Lynne married her loving husband, Dennis Leroy Lougy on June 25, 1965, in the Salt Lake Temple.

Lynne is a beloved daughter of our Heavenly Father who has given her life in charity and service to others. She is mother, sister, friend, missionary, musician, a poet, a tender heart and a warm smile. Lynne enjoyed being a grandmother to all the children, in and out of her family. She led music and told stories as sister friendly in primary. Of all the titles, sweetheart, sweetie pie, honey and dear, the dearest is loving wife.

Lynne is survived by her husband Dennis and her six children; Karen, Bryan (Nancy Cragun), Sherri (Sifa Mahe), Deanna, Matthew (Wendi Draude), April May. She is also survived by her eight younger brothers and sisters. Her joy was complete with 13 grandchildren.

We love you our special angel, sister friendly, sweetheart, mom, sister and grandma, you are loved tremendously and will be missed.

Funeral services will be held on Dec. 23, at 1 p.m. at the LDS Tooele 4th ward, on the corner of 200 South and 200 West. A viewing will be held prior to services at 11 a.m.
