Marsha Kim Bergeson

Our beloved mother, wife, grandmother and friend, Marsha Kim Glover Bergeson, of St. George, Utah, passed away on Tuesday, March 9, 2010, after a valiant fight with breast cancer at the age of 72. She was surrounded by her loving family who will miss her dearly.

Marsha was born in Rexburg, Idaho, on May 25, 1937, to Arvid and LaJetta Glover.

She married her sweetheart, Shelton Jones Bergeson, on June 9, 1954, in the Idaho Falls Temple; the two were inseparable from that day forward. Marsha and Shelton had eight children that were the light and the focus of their lives.

Marsha was active in ward and stake organizations all her life: Relief Society President, Ward Missionary, and she also served a full time mission with her husband in the Spokane, Wash., mission as well as a local mission in St. George, Utah. She touched each person that she came in contact with and was truly the epitome of unconditional love. Serving others was her true mission in life.
