Lehi - Faye LaVieve Croft Lelegren, age 69 was born October 29, 1936 in Provo Utah, daughter of Evan M. Croft and Grace Hildy Croft. She died November 10, 2005 at her home in Lehi from Pancreatic Cancer. She married Earl Lelegren on December 12, 1957 in the Salt Lake Temple. Elder Richard L. Evans performed the marriage.
Faye graduated from Provo High school and L.D.S. Seminary. She attended Brigham Young University where she was active in Orcheses and other dancing groups. It was there that she met Earl Lelegren.
Faye traveled widely throughout Europe and Hawaii. Her greatest joy resulted from her fifteen years at Lehi High School working with the Special Needs children whom she dearly loved. The teachers and staff there became some of her closest friends.
Faye was always active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, having served mainly with the young members with special needs. Of utmost importance to her was paying an honest tithing each month. On Faye's father's side, she was descended from the early pioneers to Utah. On her mother's side she was descended from the Amish and Mennonites who loved the soil, farming in Ohio and Kentucky. Faye and Earl operate Lelegren Ranches which are located in Utah and Kentucky.
She is survived by two sons and two daughters along with her husband, Earl: Lisa (Scott) Riches of Bountiful; Celeste Chong of Lehi; Jon (Martha) Lelegren of Sandy; Shay Lelegren of Provo; 10 grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
