Gailya Elaine Munson

1932 - 2025

Gailya Elaine Aslett Munson, 93, passed away December 23, 2025, at her home in Riverdale, Idaho. She was born June 15, 1932, in Downey, Idaho, the daughter of George William Aslett and Lavon Lowry.

Gailya and Lewis served six missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They served in Russia, New Mexico, three Salt Lake City Headquarters Genealogical missions, and one Temple & Family History Mission.

She loved camping, reading, cross-stitch and spending time with her children and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her sense of humor never left her and delighted everyone she spoke to- if she wanted to speak to them that is! She is deeply loved and will always be cherished and remembered fondly.
