Barbara Anderson Alger

CEDAR CITY - Barbara Anderson Alger returned to her heavenly home on
Wednesday, June 15, 2005. She was born November 6, 1933 to Parley and Edith
Anderson in Cedar City, Utah. She married Jay Don Alger on June 20, 1959 in
Cedar City. They were later sealed for Time and All Eternity in the St. George
LDS Temple.

Barbara and Jay Don are the parents of four children. They lived in Cedar City
all their lives and loved the community. Barbara was a teacher at South
Elementary School for many, many years. She was passionate about the education
of children. She took particular interest in her students and never forgot a
single one. After her retirement in 1996, she and Jay Don worked at the St.
George Temple as ordinance workers.

Barbara was always very generous to charities and gave work to people in need
of employment. She was a very refined lady in her taste and her manners. She
loved beautiful things and made her home comfortable, tidy and beautiful. She
loved her roses. She had many friends and was always true to her friendships.
Her friends have remained equally true to her. The family extends thanks to
those sweet friends and ward members who came to visit her and helped make it
possible for her to remain at home until she lost her battle with cancer.

Barbara is survived by her children, Don Ray (Jennifer) Alger and Jolynn
(Glenn) Carpenter of Cedar City, Mark (Alene) Alger of Orem, and Neil Alger of
Salt Lake City; by her grandchildren, Cade, Kyle and Kary Boardman, Levi
Carpenter, Caroline and Samuel Alger; and by her sister, Jane Bybee of Las
Vegas, Nevada, and her brother, Byron (Jean) Anderson of St. George. She is
now reunited with her dear husband, Jay Don Alger, her parents, her brother
Herman Anderson and her sister Alice Woodall.

Funeral services will be held on Monday morning, June 20th, 11:00 a.m. at the
Cedar 9th Ward Chapel, located at 256 S. 900 W. Friends and family may call on
