Judge declares Utah women, together 50 years until one of them died in May, to be legally married

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Bonnie Foerster, 74, of South Salt Lake, finally gets her wish of marrying her partner of 50 years, Beverly Grossaint, even though Grossaint died on May 27, 2018. Here, she holds her favorite picture of them when they started living together in 1968. Foerster, who is legally blind and a double amputee, shed tears of joy later in the day on Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2018, exclaiming, "I can finally start healing," after a judge provided the legal recognition and allowed her to be legally married.
