In fond memory of our loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, Eileen Wiberg, who was called home on April 5, 2003.
Eileen was born in Hyrum, Utah on February 19, 1921, to Vern and Cecil Affleck Allen. She was the oldest of five siblings, Wayne, William (Bill), and twin sisters, LuDean and LaRue. Eileen grew up in Logan where a seed of Cache Valley was planted in her heart. From the time she was a small child her love for family and flowers was cultivated and continued to grow. She graduated from Logan High in 1939 and attended Utah State where she met her Eternal sweetheart, Roderick John Wiberg. On September 26, 1941, during a ten day leave from the military, they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. This began their 62 year romance. Eileen and Rod planted their roots on the corner of 4th North and 1st West where they have resided for 58 years working side by side to provide a Garden of Eden which continues to bloom for all to enjoy.
Seeds of love were planted and Eileen and Rod were blessed with five children; Rod, Maurice, a baby that died soon after birth, Kristy, and Julia
