Maurine Louise Jones Stone

Our sweet Mother, Maurine, passed away peacefully at home on February 15, 2020, surrounded by her family and loved ones. She was 91 years old. 

Maurine was born on December 29, 1928, in Victor, Idaho to Charles Vern and Eva Mae Sinclair Jones and was the third of five children.

She was born and raised in the beautiful Teton Valley. She grew up on her family farm where she and her favorite horse "Old Bud" shared adventures throughout the valley. When she was 16 years old, she and her sister Deon, worked at the Double Diamond dude ranch in Jackson, Wyoming and enjoyed their experiences that summer.
 
Maurine moved to Rexburg, Idaho to complete her education at Madison High School. During her senior year, she met her sweetheart, Lorin T Stone, from Sugar City, Idaho. He had recently returned from his service in WWII. He was honorably discharged from the Army Air Corps (Air Force).
 
They were married on October 20, 1947, in Victor, Idaho. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Bountiful Temple on June 19, 2010. They were happily married for 68 years and created many wonderful memories while raising their five daughters in Centerville, Utah.
 
Mother worked outside of the home at various jobs throughout her life, yet her most treasured role was that of being a wife and mother. Her family was everything to her. She found much joy in spending time with her grandchildren.
 
Mother was known for her work ethic starting at a young age. She was known for her ability to maintain a pristine home and took pride in her beautiful landscaping. From fudge and bread to quilts and needlework, she enjoyed sharing her handmade gifts with those she loved.
 
Mother lived a life full of memorable experiences. She had a passion for reading, music, camping, and traveling with her family. She was able to visit many foreign countries throughout her lifetime. She found joy in the beauty of nature and sharing that with her daughters.
 
Maurine was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She loved the Gospel of Jesus Christ and lived a life full of service. She served diligently in many church callings and loved blessing the lives of others.
 
Maurine is survived by her daughters Sheron (Michael) Morrell, Sherylan (Mark deceased) Mann, JaNeel (Robert) Franson, Janet (Dennis) Warner; and her brother Benny J Jones. She has thirteen grandchildren and twenty-four great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband Lorin, daughter Carol, her parents Charles Vern and Eva Mae, two brothers, Laurel and Nuel; one sister, Deon Carlson; grandson Joshua Carlson, son-in-law Mark D. Mann, and great-grandsons Chase Farley, and Jaymin Mann.
