Gloria Salmon Obituary
Mesa - Gloria Salmon, loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, and friend, lovingly and peacefully returned to her Heavenly Father on February 3, 2018. Born Gloria Bolette Aagard to Neils Jensen Aagard and Anna Laura Memmott on July 23, 1922 in Levan, Utah. She lived her life as an example of tenderness, grace, and unwavering faith in the Lord to all those who knew her. She always championed the downtrodden and less fortunate and brightened everyone's path that came to know her. She is survived by her children, Dana K. Spens, Robert O. Salmon, Scott A. Salmon, and Matthew J. Salmon, 24 grandchildren, 75 great-grandchildren, and 20 great-great-grandchildren. Her sweetheart, Robert J. Salmon and her two oldest sons, Jonathan R. Salmon and Stephen C. Salmon, preceded her in death. Gloria's greatest joys were her family, and serving others. She held many leadership positions in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, too numerous to mention, but her favorite calling was as a temple worker, both with her husband, and by herself after he returned to the Lord. She never had to preach her beliefs because she lived them to the utmost every minute of every day. Funeral services will be Saturday, February 10, at 10 AM, with a viewing at 9 AM, at the LDS Church, 4346 S. Val Vista Drive, Gilbert, AZ. Arrangements by Bunker's Garden Chapel, 33 N. Centennial Way, Mesa. AZ.

Sister Salmon was a class act. She always had something nice to say about you when you said "Hi to her at church. Will miss her, but glad she's with Bob!

I served as Gloria's visiting teacher for a few years around 2004. I always left her home feeling uplifted and loved! She amazed me in her later years walking fiesta mall AND taking the stairs for more exercise! I'll always cherish her memory! We'll keep her family in our prayers.

May the many memories she helped create find root in your heart and bring special recollection to your mind as you both mourn and celebrate her wonderful life... and may God be with you as you deal with her passing.
Matt, Scott and other siblings... she was a pleasant and loving lady. I will not be able to attend her services, but my prayers will be offered in her behalf...
