ELNA THAYNE READY

St. George - Elna Thayne Ready, 84, passed away on Sunday , June 25,
2006, at the Saint George Care Center.  She was born on October 5, 1921,
in Dublan, Chihuahua, Mexico, to Nephi Whork and Orrissa Allred Thayne.
She married Richard Levi Ready on November 29, 1946, in Yuma, AZ, and
this union was later solemnized in the Los Angeles Temple.

Elna always claimed she visited every state in the union except Hawaii
and Alaska.  She took us (her children) to Utah every year.  She and
Rich built her dream dome house in Joshua Tree, California, and it was
her pride and joy.  Our mother never met a stranger.  She touched many
lives because of her joy and winning smile, and she was always there
with a story or two.

St. George, Ut, Melissa Sukut and husband, Danny, of Idaho; sons, Richard
Marlo Teady and wife, Tanna, of New Harmony, Ut, Melvin Thayne Ready and
