Lula Hall Crosby died Sept. 11, 2010, in Hurricane, Utah, 12 days before her 102nd birthday. She was born Sept. 23, 1908 to Ashley and Laura Hall in Eagar. Lula married Welton L. Crosby, July 24, 1942, just before he served four years in the U.S. Army during WWII.

She descended from great progenitors who taught her the value of initiative, hard work, honesty, faith and service. These traits were with her all the days of her life. Lula received a master's degree in music education from the University of Arizona. She taught music and elementary education for 40 years in Arizona and Idaho. She was known by her associates and students as a remarkable teacher who enriched the lives of hundreds of her students. She loved and helped many along the way to a more meaningful life. She loved music and was an accomplished pianist, organist, conductor and piano and vocal teacher. She instilled this love for music in many of her students.

Lula loved the works and creations of our Heavenly Father. She possessed an insatiable desire to learn about the creator's handiwork and marveled at the grandness of it all. She loved to travel and was proud of the fact that she had visited every state capital in the U.S. Her husband, Welton said on many occasions, "If she gets a little cranky, all I have to do is get her in the car and go somewhere-it doesn't matter where."

She was blessed with a deep faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ and served in numerous church callings and temple assignments. Her depth of belief, dedication and example inspired many.

Lula lived a long and healthy life with her final 10 years in Springville and Toquerville, Utah. Together with Welton they raised a garden and orchard of "healthy" fruits and vegetables.

She is survived by her husband, Welton, and their three sons, Welton (Alla), Ray (Stacy) and Gaius (Sue),19 grandchildren and 41 great-grandchildren and her brother Theron Hall of St. Johns. "We will miss her greatly."
