Laura Lee Hone McConnell passed away peacefully on March 6, 2018 after a long, valiant battle with Early Onset Dementia.
Born April 11, 1947 to Glenna Wells and Leon Rz Hone in Spanish Fork. She grew up in Midvale with her older brothers and younger sister. As a young adult, music was a very important part of her life. You could often find her dancing on Utah Band Stand, a local syndication of the American Bandstand program. She graduated from Hillcrest High School in 1965.
Her passion for music carried through to her social scene, where she met her soulmate, Dan L. McConnell “Cruisin” State Street listening to Rock and Roll. They were married on August 30, 1967 and later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on May 11th. They continued to dance through life in West Jordan where they lived for over thirty years with their three kids. They served the Lord in the LDS temple for over a decade.
Laura Lee dedicated many hours of her life to her Church callings; whether she was teaching the Young Women’s group how to pan for gold, or play volleyball, she was always involved with the youth groups. Her family was extremely important to her, she also devoted many hours to studying genealogy, and learning about her heritage. She was an active member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, where she served in a leadership position.
Laura Lee is survived by her siblings, Shirl Hone, Lester (Karen) Hone, and Glennis (Kent) Newbold; and children, Danna (Brice) Clark, Natalie (James) Kaddas, and Russell (April) McConnell. Her pride and joy were her eight grandchildren, who fondly remember having picnics and talking over chili cheese fries. She is preceded in death by her husband; sister-in-law, Susan; and parents.
The family would like to express their gratitude and appreciation to the staff of Carrington Court Memory Facility and Inspiration Hospice for their love and compassion they have shown during this difficult time.
