Ona was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where she served in many capacities. Ona enjoyed serving others where ever there was the opportunity.

Ona's world revolved around her family, enjoying her children's, grandchildren's, and great grandchildren's many activities. If this didn't keep her busy enough, she kept an immaculate home and yard and created many beautiful crocheted items.
