She had fulfilled many callings as a member of the LDS church. She will be missed by her nieces and nephews as they known her as "Annoy Aunty Baba". She was a social butterfly at any gathering especially her class reunion. She loves to laugh and make fun at her life challenges and her favorite saying is "no worry". She believed that laughter was the best medicine and people who knew her received plenty of dosage. She had an open door policy in her home and continually took in family and friends as it became a place of refuge and especially a good hearty laugh. Her extended family is known as "bees", but truly "Baba" was unique as she was a butterfly and had converted many "bees" to become butterfly. Proceeding in death is her late Husband, Avalisi Bloomfield and their Son Jessie.
