Mary Gwen Hone Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

“The Lord closed her eyes and called her home” Mary Gwen Goodman Hone peacefully returned home September 29, 2017, at the age of 80, to be reunited with her sweetheart who she had been separated for 17 years. She was born on March 13, 1937 in Provo Utah to David Richardson Goodman and Mary Lorenda Thompson. She and her brother David (Dick) Richardson Goodman were raised in Provo, primarily by their very hard working mother as Gwen’s father passed away when she was 3-years-old. She graduated from Provo High in 1955. Soon after she met Edward Ted Hone and they were married in the Manti temple on September 13, 1957. As the years went on they were blessed with four children, Shirlene, Wendy, Jed and Collette. She was a dedicated member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and loved serving others. She served in the Primary, as a librarian, as an assistant scout master and her favorite place to serve was with the Cub Scouts. In her own simple way Gwen would quietly serve wherever she saw a need, she has touched many lives both by her service and through her example. Gwen liked camping with and spending time with her family. She enjoyed crocheting and has made countless afghans for her grandchildren. She was a diligent scrap booker and created complete scrapbooks for each of her grandchildren. She was highly supportive of her children and grand children and rarely missed supporting them in whatever they were doing whether it was a sports event to a recital or a talk in church. She enjoyed going to early morning temple sessions, water aerobics, and the many activities at the Orem and Lindon Senior Centers. She was preceded in death by the love of her life of 60 years, Ted Hone. She is survived by her brother David Richardson Goodman, and her children Shirlene Lambert, Wendy Lemley, Jed (Vicki) Hone, Collette Villa, 18 Grandchildren and 17 Great-Grandchildren. The family would like to express great appreciation to the hospice staff, and many great friends and neighbors that have so kindly helped care for our mother.
