This is the note I sent with flowers for her funeral:
I love you, I love you, I love you!
Our souls touched and we said goodbye.
We hugged and kissed and you heard my cry,
when your an angel make sure you fly by. <3
Love, Rachel and family
This is her obituary:
Enid Atkins Rasmussen
February 7, 1921 ~ April 29, 2013 Our precious mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend passed away peacefully on April 29th, 2013. She was the second of eight children raised by her parents, Henry Harwood Atkins and Lola Pearl Ellison, in Cardston, Alberta. Her childhood was filled with much joy and laughter and she treasured those vibrant memories her entire life. After graduating from Calgary Normal School, she taught grades one through nine in a rural one room schoolhouse for four years delighting many children with her witty charm and spunky demeanor. She married her high school sweetheart, L. Merrill Rasmussen, in 1943. She will be dearly missed and forever loved by her two children, Ronald Lyman (Colleen) Rasmussen of Layton, Utah and Karen (Merrill) Bunker of Bountiful, Utah, nine grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. Enid was blessed with a wonderful singing voice and enjoyed reading, watching the Utah Jazz, travelling, playing Scrabble and Rumikub with the grandchildren, and tending to her flower garden. She was famous for her Jumbo Raisin Cookies, bunwiches, and gourmet breakfasts. With babies, she was an entertainer and snuggler extraordinaire. Enid had impeccable style and will be lovingly remembered as a regal and classy woman. We will remember her beautiful smile, determination, integrity and zest for life. Though limited by dementia in later years, she remained sweet and uncomplaining to the end. She was beautiful through and through and a constant example to her posterity of facing your trials with grace and dignity. Although she will be missed immensely by her family here, she had longed to be reunited with her mother and father and we are happy in the knowledge she has been set free to rejoin them. We are so proud of the life she lived and the legacy she left. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, May 4 at the Bountiful Meuller Park Stake Center, 1800 East Meuller Park Rd. (1800 South), Bountiful, Utah. Friends may call at the church from 9:45 to 10:45 prior to services. Interment in Bountiful City Cemetery. Funeral Directors: Aspen Funeral Services.
