Margaret Rogers Gurney Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Margaret Rogers Gurney, age 65, of American Fork, Utah, passed away on June 18, 2021, in Las Vegas, Nevada. She was born November 14, 1955, to Alfred John Rogers, Jr. and Lucille Strasburg Rogers in the Lehi Hospital. She is the youngest of four children. Margaret grew up in the Salt Lake City area. She moved to Lehi and completed her junior and senior years at Lehi High School. She attended Brigham Young University and graduated from Utah Technical College with a degree in Graphic Design. Margaret was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served as a full-time missionary in the Switzerland Geneva Mission, speaking the French language. She has served in many callings and leadership positions. Margaret married Brent K. Gurney on April 24, 1981, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They are the parents of four darling daughters. Margaret was a talented cook. She was very creative in food preparation and had a real talent for vegetable and fruit carvings. She has taught several adult education classes to share her talents of party planning and food art. She loved to read and passed that love on to her family. She was a great storyteller. Margaret loved to travel. She has been to many parts of the world. Mention cruising or Disneyland and she lit up and could share all the information you would ever want to know. Margaret has experienced many health trials in the past 20 years. However, when some people would have given up and said, “That’s enough,” she kept enduring and smiling her way through life. These new challenges limited some of her abilities and hobbies that she once enjoyed, but she kept plugging along. Margaret is survived by her husband, Brent, and their children: Amy Noelle Gurney, Monique Elizabeth Gurney, Valene Nicole (Danny) Stone, and Erica LaDean (Pablo) Diaz. Siblings: Carol Rogers Winder, Marilynn Rogers (Paul) Gardner, Gary (RaFawn) Rogers. In-laws: Linda Gurney, Wayne (Marilyn) Gurney, Allen (Sandy) Gurney, Vicki Gurney, Melvyn (Margaret) Gurney, Scott (Cheryl) Gurney, and her two fur babies, Rosco and Molly. She is also survived by many nephews and nieces. She was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers-in-law (Jim Winder and Ken Gurney), four nephews, and her beloved fur baby, Pepe.
