2025 Queer Ancestor Memorial: Mildred J. Berryman

Join the Mildred Berryman Institute for our Fourth Queer Ancestor Memorial, as we gather to honor our namesake, Mildred Jessie Berryman (1901–1972)—a pioneering voice in Utah’s queer history.

This year’s memorial will be held at her gravesite and will include music, singing, poetry, a short lecture, and a community ceremony of remembrance. Together, we will lay flowers and offerings on Mildred’s grave, honoring her courage and legacy while celebrating the lives and stories that continue to shape our community.
