Jim and Meridith Blackburn

Jim and Meridith Blackburn have been a fixture on Grandview Hill in Provo for almost 40 years. Jim built their brick home with his own two hands and Meridith routinely fed the neighborhood with treats and goodies on everyone's birthday. Jim wore many hats--a carpenter, bricklayer, and an enamel ceramicist. They alternated being caregivers for each other especially after Meridith's bout with cancer and chemotherapy treatments. Jim underwent triple bypass surgery in early January and struggled to recover, finally succumbing on the 30th.
