Remerice was such a sweet friend. I met her when I moved to Parowan in 2005 and she was always busy being good to her neighbors, keeping her eye on the Jazz with her wonderful friends, crocheting beautiful colored pot holders and other items for many of us and enjoying her life to the best she could. We became good friends in our short years together. What I loved most about Remerice was her wisdom. We had many long talks during my visits to her home. She had learned so much to share during her life, which was to my benefit. I'll see you Up There, my friend.

I have been a substitute senior bus driver a few times in Parawan and Remerice was one of the regulars to the Senior Center. She was a wonderful kind and sweet person with a twinkle in her eye and a terrific sense of humor. She will be missed by many folks and I am one of those.

Everyone at the Parowan Senior Center will miss her greatly. She has volunteered many hours in behalf of the seniors doing phone calling & checking on the seniors. She has also helped quilt many quilts that enabled the Center to sell and have money to do many fun things with. Remerice was one of the first seniors to come to the Center for activities and etc. along with her long time friend, Barbara Burt.
