Our sweet mother, Betty Lou Conder Park, returned to her Heavenly Father October 30, 2020 at the age of 90, loved and mourned by all who were blessed to know her in this life. She was born October 22, 1930 in American Fork, Utah to Peter and Theo Conder, the third child in a family that would eventually have seven children. Her family moved to Ophir, Utah when she was a young girl, where she attended school for several years in a one room schoolhouse. Her family then moved to Tooele, where she spent the remainder of her life. At the age of sixteen, while working at Tate’s Confectionary, a young sailor named Jim walked in and swept her off her feet. On October 15, 1947 she became the bride of James William Park. Betty worked for the Selective Service System while raising their four children, Cheryl Christine, Frank James, John William, and Michelle. She later transferred to the Tooele Army Depot, working in the personnel department until her retirement. Betty loved watching sports of all kinds, especially boxing and baseball, and was an avid bowler and golfer. She was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, serving as the local and state president. After her husband passed away in 1984, she served in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a Relief Society President in her ward and a temple worker in the Salt Lake Temple for more than 13 years, where she loved helping the new brides. Betty was a beautiful woman, gracious to all she met and devoted to her family. She loved cheering her kids and grandkids on at all their events, supporting them at football and baseball, rodeo and dance and softball, and anything else they might be involved in. She was a cheerleader in high school and continued to be our cheerleader throughout her life. She had a smile for everyone and all who met her felt her kind and loving spirit. Betty was greeted in heaven by her parents, her husband James William Park, her daughter Cheryl Dow James, her grandson James Michael Dow, and her brothers Frank and Jack Conder. She is survived by her sons Frank (Randi), John (Monica), and her daughter Michelle (Patrick) Baker, as well as 19 grandchildren, 28 great grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren. She is also survived by her four sisters: Maxine Conder, Theo Palmer, Janice (Al) Wichelo, and Vicky (Carl) Jones. A grave dedication will be held Wednesday, November 4, 2020 at 12:15 PM in the Tooele City Cemetery (open to public). A funeral will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, November 4 for family only, for those who would like to view the funeral follow this link: https://my.gather.app/remember/betty-park
