Anna Viola Mitchell Bleazard, age 103, of Bridgeland, passed away Dec. 24, 2013, at the Uintah Basin Rehabilitation and Sr. Villa.
Viola was born March 12, 1910, in Peoa, Utah, to Ernest Jerome and Amelia Roslund Mitchell. She married Stephen Jack Bleazard March 13, 1934, in Salt Lake City. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Jack passed away Oct. 23, 1998.Viola grew up in Peoa, Wanship, and Mountain Home, Utah. She later graduated from the Holy Cross Hospital nursing program. She married Jack and together they had four children, Lois, Carol, Janice, and Mike. They lived in Mountain Home on their ranch, and later moved to Bridgeland. She was active in the LDS church, serving in many callings in her Ward and Stake.
She enjoyed crocheting and many of her handiworks are being enjoyed by her posterity. Viola loved flowers, gardening, decorating her yard and home with plants and growing a large garden. She enjoyed camping with her family and fishing in the Uintah Mountains. She was fun loving and happy, enjoying life and especially loving her family. We will miss her fun personality and giggle.
She is survived by her children: Lois (Jae) Rogers, Roy; Carol (Cecil) Hanberg, Bridgeland; Janice (Robert) Steinhorst, West Valley City; Mike (Jean) Bleazard, Bridgeland; 28 grandchildren, 77 great grandchildren, and 56 great-great-grandchildren, with four more on the way.
She was preceded in death by her parents, 10 siblings, her husband, one grandson, and one great-grandson.
Grandma Bleazard was an amazing lady. I absolutely loved living next to her and my grandpa and was usually found over there. She made the best chocolate chip cookies, rice pudding and of course had many other treats. I always teased with her that I wanted her to stick around to meet my kids and she did get to meet Gage. She was fascinated by him. Always playing with his feet because they were cold, telling me she wished she could babysit him, and just simply smiling at him. I will miss her but I'm sure she is so happy to be with her family and Grandpa. I'm sure it was an amazing reunion and Christmas for her. Love you Grandma!!!
