Our sweet, beautiful mother and grandmother passed away peacefully from this life on October 17, 2020 in Provo, Utah County at the age of ninety-one.
She was born February 16, 1929 in Wendell, Gooding County, Idaho to Thomas Edward and Leone Sophronia Speedy. She grew up in Jerome and Twin Falls, Idaho. She had a happy childhood and learned a love of gardening from her parents. She attended BYU, where she got her Bachelor’s degree in childhood education.
While at BYU, she met and married her sweetheart, Robert Onis Warner, in the Salt Lake Temple on June 8, 1950. They raised six wonderful children and moved several times throughout their marriage. They finally settled in their dream home in American Fork.
Afton loved to garden; she was a great cook and seamstress, an avid reader, and loved to puzzle. Afton and Robert loved travelling and made it to all fifty states as well as the Panama Canal and Canada. She loved her family and spent hours making scrapbooks of her children. She was always so happy to see her family and was concerned about each one. She was proud of each one of them and loved them so much!!
Afton was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and her favorite calling was serving in the Mount Timpanogas Temple for ten years with her sweetheart. She had a cute sense of humor and often laughed at herself. She was a great example to her family and friends and had a strong testimony of Jesus Christ. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her, but we know we will meet again and rejoice in that reunion.
She is survived by her children, Kerri (Randy) Miller, Russell (Liette) Warner, Debra Spencer, Gregory (Becky) Warner, Tracy (Darrell) Cordova, and Jacalyn Basford; twenty-six grandchildren; thirty-six great-grandchildren; and a sister, Ann (Tom) Kruger. She is preceded in death by her husband, Robert O. Warner; son, Robert John Warner; and brother, Thomas Speedy.
A graveside service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, October 23, 2020 at Redwood Memorial Estates Cemetery, 6500 South Redwood Road (1700 West), Taylorsville.
