Ellyn Frampton

Our most precious and beloved mother, Ellyn Frampton, passed peacefully from this life to the next on Thursday morning, April 21, 2005. The blessing of her life to this world began July 14, 1920 in Penrose, Wyoming. The second child of 9 born to Elbert Roy and Agness Berthelson Mangus. Although her adult life played out nothing short of a Greek tragedy she remained joyful, grateful, compassionate and never lost her beautiful smile. Many who know her remain astounded that she held steadfast to those traits regardless of her trials which were many. A true inspiration and example to others.

She married Gerald James Frampton January 15, 1938 in Byron Wyoming. Their first babies were twins, Diane Ellen and Donald James born and died March,1940. Her second birth was a son, Bradley Joe born February 1941 and died July 1948 of polio. Mom also endured that disease. Next came Gerald Roy ‘Buck’ born October 1942. He was just 5 when his big brother Bradley died. Next came Lyle Stanley born August 1946. He died at five months in January 1947. Next came Susanne May born December 1947. In September of 1953 Beverly Dawn Frampton was born. In November of 1958 the three surviving children welcomed Kerry William. After our dad died December 24, 1989 our Mom began a new chapter where she was able to live in two residences, here in Utah and also Phoenix. She was very proud of being able to accomplish this. She said she had the best of both worlds. She always had one destination or the other to look forward to returning to.

Preceding her in death along with her children, husband and parents, were her sisters Barbara, Ilene and Wilda. Survivors are sons, ‘Buck’ and Linda Frampton, Kerry Frampton; daughters, Susanne Lindsay Stens, Bev and Greg Soter; sisters, Mae Potter, Loneta Murphy, Jewel Ted Hepworth; brothers, Wallace Ramona Mangus and LeRoy Mangus. A most kind and benevolent Mother to us all, Mom we will honor you by remembering and emplementing what you’ve given and taught us all. Grandchildren, Brad Frampton, Kim Heaton, Chet Stens, Bret Stens, Tammy Bayne, John Glezos, Amanda Glezos, Kristie Soter Jackson, Jake Frampton. She also cherished her many great grandchildren and showed them so much love.
