Elaine June Rasmussen Stanford, Age 78, Passed away August 19, 2019 in St George, UT. She was born August 1, 1941 Brigham City, UT. Elaine was the second of 14 children to Weldon A Rasmussen & Estella June O’Neil Rasmussen. She married O Glen Stanford on April 15, 1961 in Logan, UT. Together they had six children, three boys and three girls, making many homes from Logan, UT to Las Vegas NV. Elaine loved her family. Most important to her was teaching them the gospel of Jesus Christ. She enjoyed cooking and sewing. No one has a count on how many sewing machines she had worn out in clothing her children, sewing for extended family, wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses, and flower girl dresses as there is also no count. Elaine very much enjoyed school. She spoke many times of questioning her teachers as much and as fast as she could. They didn’t always appreciate all the questions as she also shared. I know she passed this on to some of her children. Family Histories and Genealogy were also very important to her. She spent many hours researching, organizing and sharing names, places, dates, and stories. She is survived by her six children, Son Russell (Carla) of Farr West, UT. Daughter Kristine of Ivins, UT. Son Kenny of Syracuse, IN. Daughter Karen of Ivins, UT. Son Jeffrey (Kim) of Las Vegas, NV. Daughter Kathie of Ivins, UT; eleven grandchildren, grandson Mason (Siena), granddaughter Mindy (Matt), grandson Jordan (Cherylyn), granddaughter Emilee (David), grandson Alex, granddaughter Tracey, grandson Brennen, grandson Cavin, grandson Dallen, grandson Landyn, granddaughter Mareena, and grandson Payton; six great-grand children: two great-grandsons Eamonn & Jack.
