Beth Nevin Murnin

I came into the world on January 31, 1928 in Salt Lake City, Utah. My parents were Olive Maude Lewis and Clarence Alfred Nevin. I was the eldest of eight sisters and brothers: Joyce Nevin, Edithe Gladden, Clarence "Tuffy" Nevin, Bonnie McMillian, Robert Nevin, Steve Nevin, and Len Nevin.

The love of my life for forty-three years, John Joseph Murnin and I were married in Park City, Utah. We had two loving children, Mary Ellen Heise, (John Heise), Las Vegas, Nevada and Stephen John Murnin (Lori Murnin), Morgan Hill, California. Three wonderful granddaughters, Michelle Lynn Paulson, (Brian Paulson), Gilroy California, Jennifer Cirimele (Greg Cirimele), Mountain View, California, Kristi Murnin, San Martin, California. Six amazing great grandchildren: Ethan Paulson, Dana Paulson, Isabella Cirimele, Colby Paulson, Zachary Paulson, and Alexa B. B. Cirimele.

While in Bountiful, Utah, I always enjoyed spending my time with family and friends, volunteering with the Girl Scouts, St. Vincent soup kitchen, and working on the many projects with my St. Olaf's family. These projects included stocking stuffers, parish council, fundraisers, luncheons and much more.

I spent 14 years working at the Bountiful Liquor store. I loved to bowl, golf and do aerobics. A hole in one was a highlight, but best remembered are the great times I had with my many, many friends. Who can forget us cheering at the Utah Ute games!

In the past eight years in Las Vegas I was blessed with many friends at Willow Creek Memory Care. I was honored to be named the "Bingo Queen" and was known as one of the "Golden Girls". I was fortunate enough to acquire a whole new set of Southern Nevada friends who treated me like family. I enjoyed championing senior causes such as leading the Alzheimer's walk and participating in community events.

As always one to celebrate, I invite family and friends to join in my celebration of life on Sunday December 13th at Red Rock Country Club, Las Vegas, Nevada. Lunch: 12 pm to 2 p.m., Tribute 2:15 p.m., dessert, coffee, and sharing until 4 pm.

On Tuesday, December 15th Mass will be held at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, 1375 East Spring Lane, Salt Lake City, Utah at 11:00 a.m. Luncheon to follow at Benvegnu Center, north side of the church. Interment: Mount Calvary Catholic Cemetery 3:00 p.m.: 275 North U Street (1252 East) Salt Lake City, Utah.
