She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She loved everyone she came in contact with and served everyone with the greatest of love. No one who helped her or served her ever went away wondering if it was appreciated since it was usually always followed with a hug and a kiss. Her main hobbies were selflessly taking care of her children and grandchildren. She loved knitting and crocheting, cooking, cleaning, camping and traveling. She also loved going to Lava Hot Springs and enjoyed good food. She is survived by her children, Jaime (Paty) Vega, Washington (Myrian) Alban, Olga Alban and Fanny Alban all of Quito, Ecuador, and Lewi (Tanya) Alban and Nancy (Chris) McMurtrey of Idaho Falls.
