Nancy Dean Jones age 90, passed away on the morning of April 18, 2021. She was a resident of The Charleston Assisted living facility in Cedar Hills, Utah when she died. Nancy was born on August 4, 1930 in Salt Lake City Utah. Her parents are Lucy Edna Gibson and Clarence James Dean. She attended Forrest, Roosevelt and Garfield Elementary schools and Irving Jr. High School. She graduated from South High School. Nancy married Jack Wendell Jones, on the 23rd of May 1952. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple by Robert D. Young, who was the temple president at the time.
Nancy was a faithful lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was baptized in the font that was in the basement of the Tabernacle on Temple square. Hers was a life of service; service to her husband, service to her family, service in her church callings and service to any others who needed it. She especially loved the mission she was able to serve with her husband to Adelaide Australia. If she had any free time, she enjoyed sewing, crafts, gardening and Genealogy and Family History. She got to travel to quite a few places with her husband and on trips with her sisters. But she was really quite content to be a home body and stay home with her family around her.
Nancy is preceded in death by her husband Jack. She is survived by her six children; Jill (Bob) Williams, Wendy (Gary) Jensen, Randy (Carol) Jones, Layne (Denise) Jones, Laurel (Ken) Steckler and Dan (Michele) Jones, along with her five sisters; Marion Soderberg, Sharon Lefavor, JoAnn Raynor, Virginia Cannon, DeeAnn Raynor and sister-in-law, Carol Jean Jones. She also is survived by 28 grandchildren and 42 great grandchildren.
