We love Sister VanTassell! Such a devoted temple patron every Tuesday morning. She was a beautiful example and indeed, she will be missed.
From Jody Hulse:
We are so sorry that your dear mother and grandmother had to leave this earth at this time. She seemed to always have so much energy and a wonderful smile on her face. She worked so hard and loved you all so much. I ran in to Afton a few years back in Burley and we were able to have a great reminiscing and catch-up conversation. She is going to be very missed. May you all find the peace that only the Savior can give in these hard times.
From Larry W Van Tassell :
A wonderful woman. Hearing this brought tears to my eyes. Gail and Afton were very instrumental in laying a firm foundation for me in my youth. Wonderful memories. I will be forever grateful.
From Lynn and Marci Stimpson:
We will miss Afton! She is a rock and an example of undiscussed continuing service. Always there to share her love when others were experiencing trials and always there to serve until work was complete after any activity. She loved and shared with our family as if we were her own and we will miss her greatly!

From Shauna Porter:
I am so thankful I had the opportunity to know Afton. She was a great example of service in our community. I was one of her VT companions. She was always out the first of the month to do her visiting teaching and was faithful in doing this every month. I also enjoyed seeing her when I attended the temple as she could be seen working in the flower beds there. Thank you for the great example you set for me!
