I was the second of five children born on April 14, 1947 to Clark Gudmundson and Darlene Haslam Gudmundson. After graduating from Bountiful High I attended the U of U. Later I earned a Bachelors degree in Business from the University of Phoenix. I married Steve Linde and was blessed with a daughter, Traci Hansen (John). Later divorced. I married David Stanworth and was blessed with a son, Dustin. Later divorced. I married my best friend, Sammy Kay on March 7, 1991 and we were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on August 7, 1992. I was blessed with his three kids, Tracy Cash (Bill), Jeff Kay (Ryan), and Troy Kay (April). I traveled extensively with my best friend, Sammy. What a blessing he has been. I was active in the LDS Church and served in various church callings. What a journey I have had. After retiring from the State of Utah 6 years ago I joined the Red Hat Society’s Foxy Red Hot Divas where I served as queen until recently. I met several dear friends. I was a past officer in Friends Unlimited and played pinochle with my dear friends. I loved and will miss my grandchildren, Johnathan (Anna), Christian, Katie, Thomas, Nichole (John), Danny (Alan), Tyler (Ashley), Amber (Ryan), Jesse, Jackson. Levi, Dillon, great-granddaughters, Gracie, Ella, and Madeline. I am also survived by my siblings, Sharon Proctor (Doc), and Ron Gudmundson (Angelina). Preceded in death by my parents, my brothers, Clark and Kay; grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I want to thank all of my special friends for their love and support.
