Beth Ahlquist, age 94, passed away peacefully on April 16, 2015.
Beth was born August 11, 1920 in Murray to Wallace and Evelyn Stauffer Farmer.
She married Jack Ahlquist on July 3, 1941 in Evanston, Wyoming.
Beth was raised in Magna and lived there most of her life.
She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
She enjoyed gardening, fishing, and traveling with Jack. Her flower garden and keeping a clean house was the envy of the neighborhood that she maintained until she was ninety years old.
Her family, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were the light of her life. She lived a wonderful life and was so thankful for what she had.
She endured physical problems as a young girl, which prepared and strengthen her for the rest of her life.
She had a great sense of humor and joked about living a long life while enduring smelter smoke, tailings, and Magna water.
She is survived by daughter, Luane (Lee) Jensen; son, Tom (Tonya) Ahlquist; daughter in-law, Sandra Ahlquist; brother, Darrell Farmer; sister-in-law, Veown Farmer; grandchildren, John Thomas (Shanna) Ahlquist III, Shellise (Lynn) Webb, John Lance (Heidi) Jensen, and Leane (Adam) Finkle; eleven great-grandchildren, Jenica, Thomas IV, Skyler, Jared, Brooklyn, Janelle, Lincoln, Chloe, Allie, Jack, and Ahmi; and many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by her parents, husband, Jack; sister, Melba, and brother-in-law, DeWayne Thorn; and brother, Wally, and sister-in-law, Louise Farmer.
The family would like to thank Legacy House at South Jordan and Aspire Hospice for their professional and loving care.
