Mary Bateman

Beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great-great grandmother Mary Goff Bateman passed away peacefully on October 25, 2013 in Bountiful, Utah at the age of 100.

She was born June 5, 1913 in Sandy, Utah, the youngest of eight children born to Isaac Frank Goff and Sophronia Almina Bateman Goff. At a young age, her family moved to Southern Idaho. She married Orland Earl Bateman in the Salt Lake Temple. They were blessed with a son, Robert Earl Bateman. She spent many memorable years in Burley where she lived until Orland passed away in 2001. Mary then moved to Utah to be closer to family.

For several years, Mary worked as a private secretary. She enjoyed serving as a Primary Instructor and as the Stake Relief Society President. Mary had a special love for music. Playing her organ and singing brought her great joy. She also enjoyed sewing, crafts, and genealogical research. Mary and Orland cherished their opportunities to visit Asia and Europe where Robert and his family were stationed.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband and siblings. She is survived by her son, Robert Earl (DeNai) Bateman, 6 grandchildren, 31 great grandchildren, and 25 great-great grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday November 1, 2013 at the Russon Brothers Mortuary, 1941 North Main, Farmington, UT. Family and friends may visit prior to the service between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. at the same location. Interment will be at the Kaysville City Cemetery.

The family extends a special Thank You to the staff of South Davis Community Hospital, and the LDS Branch for the wonderful attention and care that has been provided for Mary.
