Lucille R Price

Lucille Roundy Price, 92, passed away peacefully on April 3, 2024, at her home surrounded by her family. She was born August 1, 1931, in Smithfield, Utah, to John and Lillian Roundy. She had three siblings: Jack Roundy (deceased), Brooks Roundy (deceased) and Gordon Roundy (Margie). She was a proud resident of South Salt Lake for 67 years. She will be forever missed and never forgotten.

She married Elmer Strand September 2, 1948 (later divorced) and had three daughters she was incredibly proud of: Mona Carlson, Karen Carroll and Lillian Vincent. She had nine Grandchildren: Allison VanDuren (Tim), Riley Carroll (Sara), Michelle Guymon (Chris), Stephanie West (Andy), Justin Vincent, Nicholas Carroll, Kristin Vincent, Max Carlson and Sam Carlson. She had 15 Great-Grandchildren: Kaeli Tabile (Royal), Sydney Dallimore (Keaton), McKenzi West (Chayton), Chelby Clough (Hayden), Noah Carroll, Aspen Carroll, Boden West, Parker Guymon, Payton Peck, Matthew Szymanska, Siri Guymon, Mila Guymon, Cayden Vincent, Harlee Carroll and Karli Claypool. She had three Great-Great-Grandchildren: Charolotte Dallimore, Donny Dallimore and Luxton Clough. Her family was her greatest gift, and she would tell anyone who would listen how incredible her family is. She was often heard saying “we don’t have any spares”.

She worked at Valley Bank when her children were young and loved her 25-year career as a manager at Safeway until they closed. She began work at the Utah Labor Commission in 1990 and worked there for 15 years. As an ombudsman at the Commission, she provided an important service to Utah citizens in general and injured workers in particular. In her own words, “so many people who came here at the bottom of their barrel. They really have such bad problems and have no place else to go. I get so involved with them”. She retired on December 15, 2005. She always had treats at her desk and had frequent visitors for treats and updated pictures and stories of the family she raved about.

She was a die-hard Jazz fan and when she wasn’t attending a game she was watching it on TV. She knew which players were married, who had children; they were her “friends”. She was always up for an adventure and rarely sat still for too long. If she didn’t have plans, she would jump in her car and head to someone’s house unannounced, sometimes all the way to family in California.

Grandma had many stories about her childhood in Mona, UT: the farm, riding on the tractor with her dad, winning the goat at the county fair and so many more. She is survived by her daughters, grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, her brother, many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Lucille, her stories, and many experiences will be missed by so many. Family, friends, and others are invited to Wasatch Lawn Memorial, 3401 S Highland Dr, Millcreek Utah, on April 18, 2024, from 6:00pm-8:00pm for a viewing and graveside service on April 19, 2024 at 1:00pm. Additional viewing approximately one hour before graveside service. A celebration of Lucille’s life will follow the graveside service at the home of her daughter at 1632 S Wasatch Drive, Salt Lake City, UT.

Lucille’s family would like to express their gratitude to the many family members, friends, and neighbors for the time they spent caring for and visiting her during the last three years. As she frequently said, “I wouldn’t be here without my family”. Also, a thank you to her long-time doctor, Dr Quo, Hospice, neighbor Stake President Paul Mattinson, and other neighbors that went out of their way to provide assistance. She held a special place in her heart for each of you.
