An amazing woman!

Just an excerpt of my Aunt's Obituary, my dad included a great tidbit, it is only one of many stories and tales she told us about, she traveled all over and met many great people, and she was always a "Lady" proper and classy. Her funeral is in the morning and right now I am listening to Jarin practice his version of "I Stand all Amazed" for it, it is beautiful! Thank you for all your kind comments, I was sad, but I am not anymore, she was lonely the last few years and is now with her parents she loved so much, and wrapped in loving arms. I am happy for her! I love the gospel and knowing I will see her again, that will be so fun!


Taza N. Armstrong Peirce 1922 ~ 2008 Taza Armstrong passed to the other side on November 23rd after complications from surgery.Taza was born August 4, 1922 in Park City Utah to Ruth Irene Addy and Arthur LeRoy Armstrong. She is survived by her sister and two brothers. Taza worked hard to help support her family. Her career included secretary to the Army General's office at Fort Douglas during the war years of World War II; an insurance secretary and claims writer; and an international hostess with the Salt Lake Council for International Visitors. As an International Hostess she was associated with the U.S. Dept. of State in Washington, D.C. and the LDS Church. There were many international visitors to Utah who came to know and love her including foreign royalty and exchange students. Taza loved to read and learn about other countries. Her love of languages led to her being instrumental in bringing the lost papyri that Joseph Smith used to translate the Book of Abraham back to the church. This effort brought her directly in contact with Pres. Hunter and other leaders of the LDS Church. Taza had a wise humor that will be missed by family and friends. She was an amazing woman with many talents and great deeds to her name. She was active in her church and she worked tirelessly on genealogy for both her family and her many foreign friends. She brought much joy to the lives of many people. Taza will now rest in peace while waiting for the second coming with her family who preceded her in Death.
