Winona Peterson

Winona Taylor Peterson, 95, of Bountiful and Loa Utah, a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, returned to heaven and earned her wings on Wednesday, January 22, 2020.

She was a WWII wife and a mother of 5, grandma to 18 and great-grandma to 39, musically gifted, jitterbug dance queen, sassy beyond belief, never missed sending a birthday card, had the most contagious laugh and who loved with her whole heart. She was a great cook, and she always gave the best hugs. She had a quick sense of humor, and had amazing stories, from the horse and buggy to cars to men landing on the moon.

In 1941 she married Joseph Conway Peterson. Together they raised 5 children. They were later divorced. Winona was a member of the LDS church and served in many capacities of the church. She loved to watch BYU basketball, and was a big follower of the Utah Jazz. She was a big fan of her children and grandchildren’s softball games and attended many games and loved it.

She was the youngest of 14 children, born in Loa Utah on December 16, 1924 to Lula May Jameson and Allen Taylor. She was the last of her generation. She is survived by her children, Bert (Kelly) Peterson, Joann Boltis, Sheldon (Debbie) Peterson, Sheila (Keith) Webster, Sharon Young and her many grandchildren. The family would like to thank the nurses and staff of Lifecare and for the helping hands of those at Lakeview Hospital for the compassionate care of our dear mother.

The funeral will be held Friday, January 31, 2020 at 11:00 am at the LDS Chapel located at 200 West 200 North, Bountiful with a viewing at 9:30am – 10:30am prior to services. Condolences may be conveyed at www.russonmortuary.com
