Donna and Bryant Smith celebrate their 60th.
It has been said that Bryant never officially asked Donna to marry him. He took her for a drive to the Salt Lake City cemetery because she likes flowers. He told her to look in the jockey box. She opened it and found a ring. Apparently, the message was received, because they are parents of 6, grandparents of 20 and great grandparents of 9, with at least one on the way.
They spent one year at Ricks College in Rexburg, then bought their first home in Logan, Utah. Bryant worked for LeGrand Johnson. They had many friends and good memories there. In 1976, Bryant’s brother was killed in a train accident, and they returned to Soda Springs to help his father with the family business. They have enjoyed serving the community and appreciated working with customers through their paving, cement and excavation business. Bryant still values his relationships as he works with his son Todd crushing gravel and cinders.
It takes a long time to grow old friends, and they have many wonderful friendships. They are so grateful for good friends who give support and encouragement and for all the wonderful memories they have made together with them.
They would like to invite their friends and family to an open house celebration in their honor on Saturday, July 20, 2024, at the Soda Springs’ Ender’s Hotel from 3 - 5 p.m. (Due to construction, please use the parking and entrance in
the back.)
