Ina Littlefield

Ina Christensen Littlefield passed away on June 5, 2020, age 92, after a long illness with Alzheimer’s disease. Ina was born on September 10, 1927 in Aurora, Utah to John Anton Christensen and Francis Eva Harward. Ina was the youngest of 10 children, five boys and five girls, all who preceded her in death.
When Ina was born, their farm house had no indoor plumbing. Just before Ina’s 9th birthday, a bathtub, sink, and toilet were installed in the eight room farm house and the outhouse was no longer needed. Alzheimer’s slowly took most of her memories, in the end Ina would remember her youth and tell about cats on farm and the horse she rode to school. She would say she was a good walker because she rode the horse to school and would walk home after school.
Ina graduated from North Sevier High School in Salina Utah in 1945 and late 1945 she went with her brother to a dance in Elsinore Utah where she met Goulding W Littlefield. Goulding has just finished 5 years with the Army in World War II
Goulding and Ina married in June 1946 and settled in Richfield Utah in a home Goulding had helped build with his father. They lived there until late 1959. Six of their seven children were born in Richfield.
Goulding’s job moved to Salt Lake and the family to Midvale. In 1962 Goulding and Ina were sealed together in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
After 5 years in Midvale, Goulding and Ina were able to buy a home on Celeste Drive. Ina lived there 50 years until she required memory care in late 2015. Many happy years were spent on Celeste Drive with children and grandchildren.
Ina loved to watch John Wayne, Elvis Presley, The Osmond’s, and Bonanza. Ina enjoyed Bowing, Movies, and games with the grandchildren. When Goulding retired in 1982 they bought a 5th wheel travel trailer for camping and they traveled to see The Ponderosa and Graceland. Goulding’s retirement years were some of Ina’s happiest. After raising kids they were able to spend winters with friends camping on BLM lands around Yuma and Quartzite in Arizona.
When Goulding passed away Ina was only 64 and she missed him very much, especially their snowbird days. Ina then got a job at Wal-Mart as a greeter and worked there for over 10 years.
Ina is survived by all seven of their children Rodney, Ronald, George, Beverly, Dianne, Nancy, Terry; And 29 Grand Children, 51 Great Grand Children, and 3 great great grandchildren
