Ruth Maurine Reese Dahle, 97, passed away peacefully at home on February 20, 2012. Ruth was born on November 2, 1914 to William Griffith and Karen Andersen Reese.
She married Norman DeVell Dahle on July 23, 1935 in the Logan LDS Temple. They were married for 62 years before his passing in December of 1997.
Ruth had very fond memories of her childhood growing up on a farm with 12 siblings in Cache Valley. She graduated in 1932 from North Cache High School. As a life-long member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints she served in many capacities. Ruth loved the Book of Mormon and often referred to it as her "constant companion". Mother was very proud to be the daughter of a Utah Pioneer.
She was a wonderful hostess, a marvelous cook, and loved entertaining. She was a math whiz and had a keen mind up to the very end. While some count sheep when they can''t sleep, she thought that much too boring and would instead recite the 13 Articles of Faith all the way through from beginning to end and then start over again. Ruth had many talents including playing the piano and organ. She made beautiful hand-crafted items as gifts which she knit or crochet for family members and friends. She was a champion bowler in her day and thoroughly enjoyed playing games of any kind. Her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and even many of her great-great-grandchildren will long cherish the times they played "Hot Dice" with Grandma Dahle. She also loved to play cribbage.
Ruth is survived by her children, Norm (Karma) Dahle, Clinton, UT; Pat (Frank) Clark, Clinton, UT; Elden (Sharon) Dahle, Malad, ID; and Reese (Patsy) Dahle, Taylor, UT; 13 grandchildren; and 22 great-grandchildren; and 25 great-great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 2 p.m. at Lindquist's Ogden Mortuary, 3408 Washington Blvd. Friends may visit family on Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at the mortuary.
