1923 - 2020
Elaine Dedrickson Dyer died on December 9, 2020, at the age of 97 in Orem, Utah. She was born on November 9, 1923 in Spanish Fork, Utah to Gilbert Dedrickson and Alberta Larsen Dedrickson. Elaine was the second of four children-the only daughter among three sons-Ray, Fred, and Dan. She attended schools in Spanish Fork and following graduation from high school, went to Brigham Young University in preparation for a vocation as a medical doctor. While at BYU, she asked a professor to write her a recommendation to medical school. The professor refused on the basis that girls do not go to medical school. Elaine walked out the door never to ask again. She felt the only door open to her was nursing, so she entered the nursing program at St Mary s of the Wasatch and Holy Cross Hospital in Salt Lake City. She cherished those years because the nuns not only cared about her scholastic achievement, but in a very nice way, allowed her to firm up her own testimony of her LDS beliefs
