She will be greatly missed. Wahnetta was born March 19, 1919 in Lyman, Utah to Sarah and Thorvald Peterson. She married Dee Simons November 2, 1939, together they had 4 children. Wahnetta is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints where she served over 10 years in the primary as well as other callings. She was sealed to her family in the Manti Temple. Family was the most important part of Wahnetta's life and she was happiest when she was with her family. She loved to laugh at the funny things her grandkids did. She always had a smile on her face when she was watching them. Her granddaughters gave her the nick-name of "Princess" and she loved it. She was our family's Princess and she will be greatly missed. Wahnetta worked hard all of her life. She spent 20 years at the Moroni Processing plant and then after retiring she spent many more years taking care of her ill husband. When she was not working she enjoyed cooking, crocheting, and her plants and flowers. The garden was one of her favorite places to sit and just enjoy the beautiful flowers around her. In the fall, she loved eating her tomatoes and cucumbers. As Wahnetta got older she has enjoyed going on long rides with family members and then stopping for lunch or dinner at a favorite restaurant. The family would like to thank all the people who work at the Alpine Valley Care Center in Pleasant Grove and the Golden Skyline Assisted Living Center in Ephraim Utah, especially Debbie and Helen for the wonderful and loving care they gave to our mother. Wahnetta is survived by her daughters Anita Mikkelsen, Darlene Stevens (Charlie), Lisa Johns (Jeff), 12 grandchildren, 18 Great grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren, and Sister MaDonna Hunt. She was preceded in death by her husband Dee Simons, son Dick Simons, son-in-law Andy Mikkelsen, grandson Sean Mikkelsen, and 11 Brothers and Sisters.
