Vard Stanley Jones (1919-1993)

Vard Stanley Jones, veteran Salt Lake newspaperman, avid golfer, great respecter of nature and the outdoors, died July 1, 1993 in the LDS Hospital of lymphoma. He was 73.

He spent 34 years in the news business, as a reporter and rewrite man for the Deseret News from 1947 to 1959, and as a reporter and wire editor for the Salt Lake Tribune from 1959 until his retirement in 1981. A determined competitor, he won many trophies in Utah golf tournaments.He was a charter member of the select Thursday Sabbath Club whose five or six members for many years spent all day on Thursday each week exploring Utah's deserts, mountains and byways. He became an authority on Utah wildflowers and birds and loved to make others aware of the beauties of nature. He was a good teacher. In the office, he would say to staffers, "Name a wildflower," and if he couldn't supply the scientific name, he'd buy them a cup of coffee or drink.

One of his sayings was, "You gotta live a little or you don't live at all." And he lived by it, only he lived a lot. He was a versatile man who could build a house, make repairs on almost anything, carve birds, make beautiful jewelry with rocks he found, recite verses of Omar Khayyam, tell a good story, and make life-long friends.

He was born October 23, 1919 in Blanding, Utah, a son of Kuman Stanley Jones and Millie Maude Porter. He was proud of being the grandson of Kuman Jones, who drove the first wagon down the Hole in the Rock in the 1879 trek across that wild country.

Margaret Jones (1934-2012)

Peggy Walker

OBITUARY
Miss Peggy

Peggy slipped quietly out of this life on Monday September 3 after a life of pain and assorted surgeries for chronic poor health.

Peg was born January 22, 1934 in Cortez, Colorado the 2nd daughter of Francis W. and Gwen Hurst Jones. She availed herself of very little formal education, relying instead on what she learned in the School of Hard Knocks and by being a voracious reader. She married Grant William Walker September 13, 1968. They had 27 good years together until his death from heart surgery complications on February 4th 1995. Peggy loved birds and animals and could barely bear to see their suffering. She was constantly seeking ways to help her fellow creatures - animal or human.

At age 74, Peg got reactivated in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after a 60 year absence. That was very hard, but she felt it was worth it as it gave her the opportunity to be sealed in the Temple to her dear Grant. Her greatest joy the last four years was doing Initiatory work at the Jordon River Temple every Tuesday morning, where she made many dear and valued friendships. Her other great joy was the weekly lunch with her siblings and the brothers' wives.

Peggy is survived by sisters Norma Dee Ryan and Marrilyn Valenzuela, brothers Gordon S. (Sue) Jones, Paul F. (Jean) Jones, Kumen H. (MaryAnn) Jones, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews, and many dear friends who all loved our "Miss Peggy".

Preceded in death by parents and husband.

We are having an informal "meet and greet" from 11:00 - 12:00, Saturday September 8th at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park & Mortuary, 3401 S. Highland Drive, Salt Lake City followed immediately by a prayer at the grave site.

The family wish to express our thanks and appreciation to Haven Hospice for their care, interest, and compassion, especially Rolland the tall nurse, and Jill the awesome shower giver.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to an animal shelter or food bank.
