Rosemary Brough Dixon, beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt and friend returned to her Heavenly Father on Monday, July 18, 2016, at her home in Payson, Utah. She died from Ovarian and Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Cancers.
Rosemary was blessed with a gracious spirit, an understanding heart and a happy, warm and accepting disposition. Her beautiful smile radiated love to all who knew her. A year after she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer, Rosemary built a room for family and friends to gather. Each visit brought her joy.
Rosemary wrote the following:
“I was born August 4, 1940, in Nephi, Juab, Utah, the first child and only daughter of John Henry (Jack) Brough and Lois Mangelson Brough. With my birth, there were now five generations living: Myself, my mother Lois Mangelson Brough; my grandfather Ruben Andrew Charles Mangelson; my great grandfather Lorenzo Mangelson and my great, great grandmother Eliza Nielson Mangelson.
"I graduated from Juab High School in Nephi in 1958, and LDS Business College in Salt Lake City in 1959. I worked as the secretary to the Director of the Salt Lake City Board of Health and was also secretary for the Deputy Vice President, Neal A. Maxwell, of the University of Utah In Salt Lake.
"I married my best friend, Dennis Blanchard Dixon, in the LDS Manti Utah Temple April 25, 1969. Our daughter Malinda Dixon, was born in the Provo Hospital Aug. 16, 1979, and was sealed to us in the Provo Temple. She has been a blessing to us our whole life. We were foster parents to Maxine Norton, Albuquerque, New Mexico; Andre De Pasqual of Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Ron John, New Mexico.
"I have been truly blessed to serve my Heavenly Father in many capacities in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; Including Ward and Stake Relief Society President; Ward and Stake Young Women’s President; 23 years as Secretary of the Payson Jr. Seminary; a mission in the Andes South Mission (Peru, Chili, Bolivia); a Spanish Speaking mission in Payson, Utah; Stake Camp Director at Camp KoHoLoWo; and numerous other callings in Primary, Young Women, Sunday School and Relief Society organizations.
"I remodeled a room in my home so I had a place to work on my Family History. I served as President of the Nephi Brough Family History Organization, and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Worldwide Brough Family Organization.
"My love of Family History took me to England, Scotland, Wales and Switzerland and many states in America.
"In 2014 Dennis and I were the Grand Marshalls of the Payson Onion Days Parade. For 15 years I was a member of Jean’s Golden Girls, and had a wonderful time dancing with great friends. We traveled from Hawaii to New York – Branson, Missouri, to Evanston, Wyoming, and numerous places in between.
I was preceded in death by my parents, John Henry (Jack) Brough and Lois Mangelson Brough. I am survived by my husband, Dennis Blanchard Dixon, my daughter Malinda, of Payson; Foster children Maxine Norton of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Andre Depasqual of Sao Paulo, Brazil; and my brother, John Karl Brough (Jackie) of Nephi.”
