Dorothy was an icon to everyone who knew her.  She acquired a taste for golf from her father who belonged to the Ft Douglas Country Club.  Launched her golf career at age 35 at Meadow Brook Golf Course and placed in several City Parks tournaments.  Joined Oakridge Country Club in 1960 and then Hidden Valley Country Club in 1962 where she played A Team in the women's association, winning several honors including 1st place Club Championship in 1988.  Dorothy achieved the ultimate Hole in One at Hidden Valley at the age of 87.  Her love of the game continued through her 95th year.  Dorothy never lacked for social activities.  Winters were spent at the bowling alley and playing bridge with her favorite friends.   The Hidden Valley Ladies were the love of her life.  They cherished her and included her in every activity.   She paid them back by teaching them water ballet in the hot tub.  Her sense of humor never faltered.  Our deepest appreciation to all the lovely ladies who propelled mom into her 90's.  They kept her young and spirited.  Dorothy was spontaneous and fun-loving; dressing up in costumes for dances as a youth and ethnic outfits when traveling.  Curtis and Dorothy traveled the world with the Utah Plumbing and Heating Association members. The Bear Lake house was always full of family and friends.  Dorothy served a continuous array of food and fun with grandkids underfoot and adapting to continuous construction projects.What a life!  She lived every moment to the extreme and is an example of passion and yet, supreme discipline.  Right up to the end, she kept asking "what am I supposed to do next?".  We honor her competitive nature, integrity, endurance and independence.  She played the game to the very end and never complained about the score.Thanks to Brighton Hospice and Cottonwood Place for the loving care bestowed upon her this past year.  Survived by four children Frank David Evans, Elizabeth E. Moon, Raymond Curtis Evans, Kent Folland Evans (Lucille); 10 grandchildren; 21 great grandchildren; 5 great-great grandchildren.
