Mary Anderson Jones, 86, loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend passed away peacefully surrounded in her family's love at the Life Care Center, Bountiful, August 3, 2007, from complications suffered after a fall.
She was born in Seaham Harbour, County Durham, England, April 4, 1921, the "first and only daughter" of James Porter Anderson and Sarah Gleghorn Anderson. She married Freddie Tomlinson, February 16, 1942. Freddie died in battle in 1944. Mary married Kenneth Jones (Sr) December 26, 1945 in Ashby, Lincolnshire, England. Kenneth died February 25, 2004. As a child Mary was taught by her parents to trust in Jesus; her faith in Him was too deep almost for words. Kenneth and Mary were converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in which she was baptized August 2, 1958.
They immigrated to Canada in 1966, and then to the U.S. in 1975, becoming naturalized citizens in 1998. Mary was a devout and Christian lady, who served in many callings throughout her life. She and her husband, Kenneth, made their home in West Valley. Mary retired after a long career at First Security Bank. The two most important aspects of her life were her family and the church.
She is preceded in death by her brothers, James, George, Bill, and Alec Anderson. She is survived by children, Ann (Arlyn) Proctor, Kenneth (Denise) Jones, Margaret (Michael) Tebbs, and Christopher (Angela) Jones; 21 grandchildren; and 49 great-grandchildren.
