Our memories of Aunt Lila are mostly from the time she lived in Vernal, Utah and was raising her young family there.
How happy she always was! What a joy to listen to the laughter of the Thacker family!
Lila and her husband, Ted taught their children to sing, dance and love life.
How grateful, as their cousins, we are to have their example of courage, hope and a positive attitude in any situation.
We love you, Aunt Lila! Acel, Nancy, Susan, Alan and Lori Thacker.
