They had 10 wonderful children. Fae was a devoted mother and wife. She devoted her life to serving her family and the LDS church. Beloved Lynn Mellor passed away on October 23, 1990 after 50 happy years of marriage. Fae enjoyed cooking, canning, baking, sewing, gardening and any opportunity she could find to serve her loved ones. The family looked forward to special occasions including family reunions, Christmas Eve celebrations, and family campouts. Fae was proud of her more than 300 descendants and loved each and every one. In 2003 Fae married Henry Atkinson and they enjoyed 3 and a half years of marriage. All of Fae's posterity quickly came to love and appreciate Henry as his heart was open to each and every one of us.
