Dorothy Ione Stucker Armstrong
CENTENARIAN
1922 - 2023
Dorothy Ione Armstrong, 100 years, and 6 months old, of Orem, Utah, passed away Saturday, March 11, 2023. She was born September 2, 1922, in Kansas City, Kansas, to John Lester Stucker and Alice Irene Brock Stucker. She married James W. Amis in 1940 and was divorced in 1951. On July 6, 1952, she married Floyd LeRoy Armstrong. She and Floyd joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at separate times and sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on January 6, 1959.
Dorothy stayed busy raising eight children while following Floyd in multiple moves and ventures. The cities they lived in were Seattle, WA; Roy, UT; Las Vegas, NV; Huntington Beach, Escondido and Thousand Oaks, CA; and St. George, UT. They finally ended up in Orem, Utah, as he continued to follow his dreams. She helped support the family either working outside the home in secretarial positions (Boeing, Capitol Records, Tally Corp, BYU, Hughes Aircraft and for a chiropractor). For most of her life, she sat at her Ironrite and ironed clothes for other people. When her last Ironrite bit the dust, she retired from ironing at age 92. She did plenty of cooking, cleaning, laundry, gardening, and was always ready to load up and go to the beach or prepare for family camping trips. She was an amazing seamstress and a talented artist. She loved to read and listen to music. When she was young, she was an acrobat and Adagio dancer.
She and Floyd sang in the Seattle Chorale and in a Southern California choir. She played a part in the stage play "A Christmas Carol" and she and Loralee sang in the Chauntenettes singing group in Orem for many years.
Dorothy is preceded in death by her son, James W. Amis Jr.; and her husband, Floyd. She is survived by her seven other children: Donna Dee (Amis) Torres, Doreen Kay Armstrong, Lee Anne (Terry) Parrish, Lynn Stephen Armstrong, Alana Joy Sweetwood, Loralee (Bob) Nunley and Evan LaMar Armstrong. She has over 20 grandchildren and many great and great-great-grandchildren.
