UDALL, Elma Born December 23, 1917 in St. Johns, Arizona and died October 9, 2017 in Tucson, Arizona.

She was a superb executive assistant. She helped develop the A-Bomb at Oak Ridge, Tenn. During WWII she was in Egypt and Iran with the Red Cross. Later, she was with the State Department and the CIA in London, Moscow, Berlin, Budapest, Stockholm, Helsinki, Vietiane, London. She had a full and, as she described it, "exciting" life. She was an inspiration to those who knew her.

She will be greatly missed by everyone including her surviving siblings and many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends. She was the Udall Family historian and genealogist. She connected many generations of Udalls and their extended relatives from England and across the US.

A lifelong and fierce democrat, Elma took great pride in the accomplishments of her siblings and their families, relishing in the excitement of politics and people. Elma was a world traveler before it was easy, she was a generous and loving person to every family member and we will all miss her lively spirit and kind nature.

In lieu of flowers, and in honor of Elma's own giving, donations may be made to Planned Parenthood, the Democratic National Party or any non-profit organization of your choice.
