She was born May 6, 1938 to Orlas James Riggs and Estella Smith in Hatch, Utah. She married and was sealed for eternity to her beloved husband Leslie Eugene Foote on July 2, 1960 in the St. George LDS Temple. They spent their married life in Taylorsville, Utah where they raised three sons. Ilene was a talented quilter and she loved to crochet. She loved going to her cabin and spending time with her husband, sons, and grandchildren. She was a wonderful homemaker and cook, and she participated in the scouting organization for many years and helped many boys become Eagle Scouts. She was a joy to be around and always knew how to make everyone laugh. Ilene was preceded in death by her husband Leslie, her parents Orlas and Estella, and her brothers John and Ralph. She is survived by her sons Richard (Cynthia), Michael (Yvette), and Boyd (Rebecca) as well as her eight grandchildren Samantha, Stephanie, Addison, Christopher, Trent, Jesse, Sarah, and Rachel.

We were certainly sorry to lose your dad and now your mother. Our thoughts and sympathies are with you at this time.

We enjoyed your dad's fine harmonica playing in the Fiddlers and he accompanied me on several songs.

We we all miss both of them.

I so love my neighbor, Ilene. She and I have spent many hours talking about our love for our grandchildren and children and everything in between. I will miss her very much but I know she is so happy, finally being with her beloved husband, Les and her folks and others who have passed on. Love, Tonga
