Dolores (Dee) Black Liddell passed away on Saturday, July 14, 2018, at the age of 72 in her home surrounded by family and friends in Stansbury Park, Utah, of natural causes.
Dee was born on Feb. 21, 1946, to Dolores Coburn and Junius Albert Black in Salt Lake City, Utah. She has 2 siblings (Sharon and Scott).
Growing up, Dee attended Washington Elementary, Horace Mann Jr. High and South High School. She then went on to attend Grossmont College at SD Cal. She also attended SLCC where her favorite class was Toastmasters, which taught her how to enjoy public speaking. Her greatest achievement was being a wonderful wife and mother.
Dee married Lawrence Sidney Liddell on her birthday at Mount Charleston, Nevada, in 1974. On June 21, 1978, they were sealed for time and eternity in the Salt Lake Temple.
Dee served valiantly in many callings in the LDS Church, such as Relief Society President, Young Women President, and Primary President. She was devoted to the Lord and cherished the companionship of the Holy Ghost. During Dee’s 18- year career, she worked for FMC, DMBA, and DMC, where she was the executive secretary to the CEO.
She loved sewing/quilting, hiking in the mountains and sitting on the beaches of San Diego.
Dolores is survived by her husband, Lawrence Sidney; her children, Shawn and his wife Vida, Heather and her husband Ken; 14 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Dolores and Junius; and sister, Sharon.
Thank you to Chris and the dialysis team who treated Dee with love and respect, and to hospice for their tender care in her last days. Thank you also to her many special friends who have been with Dee to the very end.
