Delpha Baird is 96 years old and still tirelessly and lovingly serving in Primary in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. ...
For several years now, Baird has taught the class of children turning 8 and preparing to be baptized, said the ward Primary president, Kristen Van Tienderen.
“She comes to every baptism, she’s so sweet about it,” Van Tienderen said. “She really inspires such a strong testimony of Jesus Christ. I think her sustained enthusiasm being 96 years old is so inspiring and just amazing.”
Holladay 10th Ward Bishop John L. Lunt said about Baird: “I can’t properly express what a blessing she is in our ward. Sister Baird is truly amazing. She is so loved by all.”
Greeting her in the hallway after Primary ended, he told her, “You have blessed generations of Primary children in the Holladay 10th Ward. We are forever grateful.”
