Loma Hansen Jones

Loma passed away peacefully in her sleep at her home in Hyrum Utah on the beautiful Easter morning of April 1, 2018. She was born to Augustus and Lydia Hansen in their hometown of Lakeside Arizona, number 9 of 12 children, 9 of whom lived to adulthood. She was a happy child, spending much of her time working with and enjoying her family. She liked school and loved playing under the shade of the ponderosa pines and on the banks of Billy Creek behind their home in town. She liked to tell people that she graduated from High School second in her class (it was a class of two). During her single years she served a mission in the New England States for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and continued developing her musical talents on the piano and organ while living in Mesa Arizona, Caldwell Idaho, and Salt Lake City Utah.

On May 10, 1956, she married Grayson Jones in the Salt Lake Temple beginning a family and new life on a ranch along the Green River 40 miles Northeast of Kemmerer Wyoming. They were blessed with 5 children, 4 boys and 1 girl who sadly passed away shortly after birth. She loved her husband and the children dearly, but the Wyoming ranch life, maybe not so much. In 1965 they moved to Hyrum Utah where they lived the remainder of their lives. Throughout her life Loma has been actively involved in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serving in many capacities, most of which involved playing the piano or organ. Her first love and primary focus was her family.

Loma is survived by her 4 sons, 18 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren. Surviving sons and spouses are: Kevin & Chirle Jones of Hyrum, Utah, Tyrell and Ranae Jones of La Barge, Wyoming, Duane and Bonnie Jones of La Barge Wyoming, and Scott and Wendy Jones of Smithfield, Utah.

She was preceded in death by her husband Grayson in 2007, her parents, all of her siblings, her daughter, Lydia, and one grandchild, Kendon Jones.
