Marydean Curtis Magleby, our Beloved Wife, Mother, and Grandmother, passed away on Thursday, September 30, 2004 at Garden Terrace Care Center in Millcreek, after suffering from advanced Alzheimer's Disease for many years. She resided at 1218 South 500 East in the Liberty Wells neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah at the time of her death.

We love her and will miss her very much. We are eternally grateful for her many examples of dignity, endurance and perseverance, and dedication.

Marydean was born on September 20, 1918 to John Irvin Curtis and Irene Natalie Orrock in Richfield, Utah.

Marydean was the eldest of two children. She had a younger brother, John Keith Curtis. She married Alma Woodruff "Spike" Magleby Jr. on July 12, 1943 in the Manti LDS Temple.

She was a life-long active member of the LDS Church, served in all auxiliaries over the years, and especially enjoyed her calling as a teacher in Relief Society.

She was a graduate of Utah State Agricultural College (USU), and taught Home Economics at South Sevier High School in Monroe, Utah.

She also taught 2nd Grade at Washington Elementary School for 20 years, and was a gifted teacher. Marydean had great love and respect for her colleagues at school, and enjoyed the "teachers group" and looked forward to their dinners together.

Marydean was frugal and established a lovely, comfortable home. She acquired from her mother a fondness for things of beauty. She demonstrated that love by creating needlepoint chairs, and furniture which adorned her home.

She was an original member of the "Liberty Ladies" sewing club, who met together frequently to celebrate life's finest moments and to commiserate during tragedies. She had an incredible work ethic, and saw every task that she took on to it's best completion.

Marydean took pride in her children, David and Marlene, and found great happiness in their accomplishments. Marydean's love for her family will be treasured as we remember her fruit cake, love of sewing, long walks in Liberty Park, and her magnificent penmanship.

She gave service to many people, often anonymously. She had a smile for everyone and is truly a beloved daughter of God.

Marydean was a descendant of John Howland, a passenger on the Mayflower.

Funeral services were held on Monday, October 4, 2004 at 12:00 p.m. in the Liberty Park Ward Chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints located at 445 East Harvard Avenue (1100 South) in Salt Lake City. Friends and Family attended a viewing at the Liberty Park Ward Chapel on Sunday evening from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m. and again at the Ward Chapel on Monday morning from 10:30 until 11:30 a.m. prior to the services.
Marydean was laid to rest following the conclusion of the Funeral Services at the Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park in East Millcreek.
REST IN PEACE.
