She is survived by her husband, Curtiss G. Parkinson (Hyrum, UT); her children: Kelly (Lisa) Parkinson (Wellsville, UT), Cory Parkinson (Logan, UT), Heather (Shane) DeKorver (St. George, UT), and Kami (Cameron) Hepworth (Lexington, KY); 15 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and her aunts, Pat Swenson and Janae Katlin.
