Love Forever True: The Love Story of Joyce and LaMar Fox
2005? Hardcover. 992 pp. Joyce grows up in Ogden and LaMar in Salt Lake.
She was born on April 23, 1931 to Orlando Valentine and Vontella Hortense Baird Lundgreen in Ogden, Utah. She had two older brothers. She attended Weber State College and Brigham Young University, graduating from Utah State University with a teaching degree. She served an LDS mission to England, Scotland, and Wales. It was just prior to this service that she met LaMar Monson Fox. After their missions, they sealed their love for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on March 20, 1959. She taught at high schools in Ogden and Salt Lake City before dedicating herself to her life's greatest work as wife and mother. With her growing family, she moved from Utah to Denver, Colorado, then enjoyed 23 years in San Diego, California, before moving back to Salt Lake City and eventually to St. George, Utah. From 2000 to 2001 she had the opportunity to serve another LDS mission, this time with her sweetheart, in the Apia Samoa Temple.
LaMar Monson Fox (1934–2025) drifted peacefully into heaven on July 8, 2025, at the age of 90 in Salt Lake City, Utah. With him he takes the love of family, friends, and many who had the chance to cross paths with him in a long and meaningful life.
He was born August 23, 1934, to Soren Neve and Letha Monson Fox in Salt Lake City. He graduated from East High School and received his M.D. from the University of Utah School of Medicine, a “Utah man, sir,” through and through. After earning his degree, he practiced for over 30 years as a child and family psychiatrist, primarily in San Diego, where he directed the Child Guidance Clinic at Children’s Hospital and maintained a private practice. He concluded his career in Salt Lake City, where he continued to serve families with warmth and insight. Someone once asked if his training helped him be a good father. He answered that it was the other way around: being a good father helped him be a good psychiatrist.
He met his soulmate, Joyce Lundgreen, as both prepared to serve missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—LaMar to Samoa and Joyce to the British Isles. The first time they held hands was in the prayer circle in the temple, as prospective missionaries. They later held hands across an altar in the Salt Lake Temple, where they were sealed for time and eternity on March 20, 1959. Condition: Very good. Item #32532
