  The Deseret News (Salt Lake City, UT) July 15, 1997 Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister, Elva Mern Mills, passed away peacefully at home July 14, 1997 following a long illness. Born Oct. 15, 1915 in Hyrum, Utah to Emma and Charles W. Shaw. Married her high school sweetheart, Rex E. Mills, on Sept. 23, 1935 in Magna, Utah; marriage later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Active member of Midvale 7th Ward. Mom's main joy in life was her family and home. Mom loved to have her family home and cook for them. She made the best pies in Midvale and loved to share them. Mom was happiest cleaning and cooking, and tending her flowers. She will be sadly missed by her family and friends. The family wishes to thank all of those who helped in the care of our mother; special thanks to Kim and Codi. Survived by children, Kent E. (Nellie) Mills, Diane (Bill) Stafford, Judi (Larry) Bowthorpe, Jack R. (Bardee) Mills; 12 grandchildren; 48 great-grandchildren; and sister, LaPriel Erickson. Interment, Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park.
