Chloe was mighty close to being 98 years old, and now she’s mighty close to her beloved Charles…at long last. She was born on Dec. 12, 1926; she passed peacefully on Dec. 1, 2024, surrounded by loving family members and lots of tears, both of sorrow for those of us left behind, and of joy for the great and long awaited reunion with those who have gone before. Julia Chloe Judd Rasmussen was born in the “parlor” of her parents’ home in Manti, Utah, and passed in a care center in Bountiful, Utah where she had resided for just over two weeks. She died, as people do when they’re almost 98, of old age and the most tender desire to reunite.

Chloe grew up in Manti with her parents, Andrew Jackson Judd and Myrtle Harmon Judd, had an idyllic childhood as the youngest of three, Jackson Judd and Georgia Mae Judd Lowry, and met her sweetheart, Charles Ned Rasmussen, in typing class at Manti High School. While there, she enjoyed cheerleading, dances, ball games, singing MHS Forever, and generally having fun! She graduated in 1945, and then decided to seek her fortunes at Utah State University, the “AC,” where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education and Dance, with teaching certificates in both Elementary and Secondary Education, and a Minor in Sociology, with which she taught PE at West High School and fourth grade at Liberty Elementary School. She was a spirited member of Sigma Kappa Sorority where she forged lifelong friendships and fond, fond memories. She was thrilled to letter in badminton, playing doubles with Moroni Schwab, offensive lineman for the Aggies who also played for the Detroit Lions…oh that Chloe!

Chloe married her darling Charles on July 29, 1949, in the Manti Temple. They had four children: Rebecca (Gary Twitchell), John (Joyce Fehlman deceased,), David (deceased), and Polly Ann (Craig McQuarrie). They moved six times with Lederle Laboratories before settling in Bountiful for the rest of their lives. Her callings for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints included serving in presidencies and teaching positions in Young Women, Primary, and Relief Society, as well as ward librarian. She and Charles traveled the world, and then served a mission for the Church as guides for the historic sites in St. George, Utah which they dearly loved.

Chloe was the proud founder and first Captain of the Maple Hills Millennium Camp of The Daughters of the Utah Pioneers in 2000. She left a wonderful legacy in that great organization and, as was her style, she forged many, lifelong friendships.

She was the proud grandmother of nine grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. They all had many endearing names for her, and they all loved and cherished her. She will be sorely missed by family and friends alike!

“Goodnight, sweet Grammy, 2 Ema, Granny C, and Mom,

 May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”
