Shirley Watson

May 19, 1936 - June 30, 2019

Shirley Lynn (Sawyer) Watson, 83 years of age, passed away at the Orem Rehabilitation and Nursing Center on June 30, 2019 in Orem, Utah. She went asleep peacefully in Jesus and will see His face first on resurrection day. She was born to the late Bert and Katie Sawyer on May 19, 1936 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She graduated from Laurelwood Adventist Academy Class of 1955 and then attended Emmanuel Missionary College (now Andrews University). Most of her years were spent living in the Sacramento, California area. Her biggest joys in life were her children, grandchildren, and dog Rocko. As a lifetime member of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, she spent many hours volunteering as a teacher's assistant in school and church. She was a current resident of West Jordan, Utah, and is survived by her brothers David and Warren Sawyer, son Ken Watson, daughter-in-law Brenda, and 4 grandchildren. Since her favorite thing to do was listen to her family play music, there will be a memorial concert held in her honor August 3, 2019 at 4 pm at West Jordan Senior Housing, 2105 Sugar Factory Rd, West Jordan, Utah in the community room.
