Person:Deon Holdaway (1)

I was born in Provo, Utah, May 6, 1922, to Izetta Halladay and Marion Russell Holdaway. In my teens our family moved to Salt Lake City where I spent the remainder of my life. I married Russell D. Bossard October, 1940; later divorced. On May 9, 1960, I Married my eternal companion, Hosea Oliver (George) Sorenson. We solemnized our love and commitment in the Jordan River Temple July 1, 1982. In 1977, I retried from Mountain Bell after 25 years of service which allowed more time with family and church activities.I enjoyed 36 years in the Taylorsville Gardens wards and will miss all those special friends and neighbors. I will deeply miss the family I leave behind including my brother, David Holdaway and sister-in-law, Shirley; sons and daughters, Larry D. (Barbara) Sorenson, Texas; Shauna Sorenson (Dean) Campbell, Canada; Judy Bossard (Gerald) Lord, Linda Bossard (Ray) Furbush, Susan Sorenson Tanner, all olf Salt Lake City. Jayne Sorenson (Jim) Flint, and MaryEllen Sorenson Nay, both of California; our dear 36 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
