Mary Jane Jones Rees passed away Easter Sunday morning, April 20, 2003, following a valiant battle with cancer.
She was born on January 4, 1945 to Stanley Stuart and Clarris Anderson Jones in Logan, Utah. She grew up in Wellsville, Utah and graduated from South Cache High School. Mary Jane married Kay Van Orden Rees on June 26, 1964 in the Logan Temple. They moved to Centerville in 1972 and there raised their family. They were blessed with four children and five grandchildren.
Mary Jane was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She taught her children the gospel and served faithfully in the auxiliaries of the church. Her particular love was serving with the primary and young women. She genuinely cared about others and helped raise funds for the American Cancer Society, Diabetes Foundation, and Primary Children's Festival of Trees.
Mom’s life dedication was to her husband and children. She sacrificed all for their well being and happiness. She was the heart and life of our home. She always had plans for fun family get-togethers and vacations, especially our fond summers at Bear Lake. Family ties were important to her. Among many other gifts, she was a talented pianist and vocalist, and taught her children the treasures of music. She was a beautiful homemaker, loved to spend time in her flower gardens and creating floral arrangements and crafts that adorn her home and several others'. Her wonderful cooking was always plentiful and never turned down. Her sense of humor and laughter will be missed.
During her illness, she spent countless hours creating volumes of family scrapbooks leaving a legacy of love and memories. One of her greatest joys was to live to see her children wed and the birth of five precious grandchildren. Mary Jane was an outgoing and loyal friend. She had much fun getting together often with her close friends. She was so grateful for the loving concern of all her friends and neighbors during her sickness.
The family also wishes to thank Dr. Regina Klein and staff for years of compassionate care; Community Nursing Services staff and Stacey Kunkel, Mom's personal nurse, for your tender care that allowed her to be home. Special thanks to sister-in-law Trudy Glenn for her 24-hr care during the last month. Mary Jane is survived by her husband Kay; sons Roger (Darlene) Rees of Bountiful, Lonnie (Patience) Rees of Clearfield; daughters Roxanne (Gordan) Jackman of Hyde Park, and Nickie (Richard) Reeves of Logan; her father Stanley Jones of Logan; a sister Glenda (Lowell) Heaton of Gilbert, AZ; and five grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her mother, Clarris Jones and twin grandsons Thomas and Brady Jackman.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, April 26, 2003 at 11:00 am. in the Centerville 11th ward chapel at 270 N. 300 E with Bishop David Layton conducting. Family and friends may call Friday from 6-8 pm at Russon Brothers Mortuary at 295 N. Main, Bountiful, and Saturday from 9:30 to 10:30 am at the 11th ward chapel prior to services.
