Mrs. Arva Elizabeth Stott Jones Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Arva Elizabeth Stott Jones October 13, 1918 – July 29, 2013 Orem, UT Arva Elizabeth Stott Jones, the award-winning gardener, ward matriarch and attention-loving beauty, passed away on Monday, July 29, 2013. Her family could always grab anyone’s attention when she mentioned her numbers. She grew up with 10 brothers and 1 sister. But, she knew she could outdo those numbers with her own family. At age 25 she went on a date with Dixon Jones and knew she was going to marry him “even if he didn't know it yet.” They were married within 2 months of their first date. She could keep up with her 7 strapping sons and shine next to her 4 gorgeous daughters. And of course those 11 children kept her matriarch title going with blessings of 45 grandchildren and currently 72 great-grandchildren. She beautified gardening, always provided shelter for her family nor ever judged them for their mistakes, loved walking her grandchildren around the block, and giving insightful revelation to church members. Her wit would keep the room on edge waiting for the next inspiration or banter. Even her memory was superb, during her final month of life she was able to recite “Papa's Letter”, a dramatic reading learned at age 11. Arva adored food, in particular potato salad, but anything sweet. The family could always catch her licking her fingers after discovering what goodies were left on the dining room table, kitchen counter or any of her grandchild’s birthday parties. A viewing of Arva's next floral fanfare will be held on Friday, August 2nd from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Lakeridge 6th Ward Chapel, 950 S. 50 E., Orem, UT. A Funeral Service will be held at the same location on Saturday, August 3rd at 11:00 am with a Viewing prior from 9:30 am to 10:30 am. Interment in the Payson City Cemetery, 400 N. 800 E., Payson, UT. Finally, the family asks that in honor of Arva, everyone plant some flowers, hug and kiss a baby or enjoy a sweet discovery by sneaking your fingers in a container and giving them a little lick!
