Barlow, Ruelene From the Deseret News, Feb. 2001: Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, and sister Ruelene Barlow Fox, 54, died February 26, 2001 at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City after a three and one half year courageous battle with leukemia. She was born February 19, 1947 in Fairview, Idaho to Doran H. and Anna Harding Barlow. Ruelene married M. Leroy Fox Jr. in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on June 26, 1968. She graduated from Ogden High School, Weber State College and just prior to her illness she completed her masters with Utah State University. She taught school in Ogden, West Valley, and in St. George. She served as ETS Advisor for Snow Canyon High School and Middle School for several years before her illness. She loved teaching children and encouraging them to reach their highest potential. Her church service reflected charity, kindness and love for all of our Heavenly Father's children. She had served in many callings including leadership and teaching in Sunday School, Primary, Relief Society and Young Women. Her greatest love was her family and the hardest part of this trial was being away from them. She is survived by her devoted husband, Leroy of St. George; seven loving children, Calvin (Debbie), of Hurricane, Bryce (Julia), of Washington, Allen (Janna) of St. George, Anna of Salt Lake, Darrell serving in the Cincinnati Ohio Mission, Brenda and Edward of St. George and six grandchildren. She is also survived by her parents of Ogden, her sisters and brothers, Dora Ann (Larry) Tesch of Eden, Brenda (Jay) Welling of Evanston, WY., Beverly (Richard ) Holbrook of Ogden, Bradley (Alice) Barlow of Alpine, Debbie (Lyle) Cox of Santa Clara, Michael (Becky) Barlow of So. Weber, Patricia (Charles) Berglund of Layton, Bryant (Emily) Barlow of Wellsville. Funeral Services will be held at the LDS Chapel located at 415 No. Westsridge Dr., in St. George at 1 p.m. on Saturday and a viewing will be at the Metcalf Mortuary, 300 W. St. George Blvd. on Friday evening from 6-8 p.m. 'It is not how many years we live, but what we do with them. It is not what we receive, but what we give to others.' You have given us so much. 'It will all work out!' Ruelene would often say. Yes, it has all worked out and you've finally been able to go 'home'! 'HOME is where we came from, and we're all HOMEWARD bound.' 'My body sleeps for a moment but my testimony lives and shall endure forever.' A special thanks to Ruelene's many friends and caregivers who have unselfishly given of their love and tender care. |
