Joan Muir passed away on Aug. 1, 2006 after a long battle with breast cancer. She was born July 10, 1932, to Morris and LaVeda Nielsen in Hyrum.
Joan married her high school sweetheart and love of her life, Clark A. Muir, on Sept. 20, 1950, in the Logan LDS Temple. They moved to Southern California in 1953, where they raised their three children, Sheila, Stanley and Jan Marie. They moved home to Utah in 1982. She enjoyed the outdoors and spent vacation time camping and fishing with her husband. However, her favorite hobby was shopping. Mom was a beautiful woman who never left the house unless her makeup was done and she was dressed to perfection. Joan was a hardworking woman often found tending her garden, making quilts and cooking fabulous meals for her family.
Joan was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where she held many callings, her favorite being in the Relief Society presidency. Her greatest treasure was her family. She was loved beyond measure by her family and admired by all who knew her.
She is survived by her daughter, Sheila (Lary) Grubbs of Bountiful; son, Stanley Muir of Canyon Country, Calif.; four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; two brothers, Jack (Sybil) Nielsen of Bountiful and Darrell (Barbara) Nielsen of Bountiful; sister, Marge (Ramon) Purser of Hyde Park; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Clark; their daughter, Jan Marie; her parents, Morris and LaVeda Nielsen; three brothers and three sisters.
Interment will be in the Mendon City Cemetery.
