Lorna Reynolds Owen

Lorna Jane Reynolds Owen, our beloved wife, sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed away peacefully surrounded by her children on Thursday, November 18, 2021 at the age of 74. She was born May 5, 1947 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Arnold Lorenzo Stoddard and LaVona Rugg. She grew up with a deep love for her own father, which transferred perfectly to her husband, whom she considered the best in the world. Her life was entirely dedicated to her husband and everything to which he gave his time, talents, and all that he was. She raised her children to have the same love and respect for their father that she had. She also gave her life in service to all those around her, especially her family and friends. She was considered “everybody’s grandma” and went out of her way to make a special place for everyone she met, especially those in special need. She worked as a teacher for many years, loving the little children of the Lord just as Jesus did, and she always had a special grandma hug ready for them. She was preceded in death by her husband, Wendell, and her eternal sisters: Bonnie and Beth. She is survived by countless family and friends, including her 10 children; Charles, Betsy, Gabriel, Laura, Karen, Mark, Marcie, Loren, Abigail, Lyman, and 200+ descendants. She will be greatly missed, loved, and forever remembered by all who knew her. We weep and rejoice for her as she reunites with her loved ones and begins her exciting journey in the next estate. Her favorite number was 342.  A funeral service will be held at 9:00 AM on Wednesday, November 24, 2021 at LDCJC, 1880 West, Parkway Boulevard, West Valley City, Utah. A visitation will be held Tuesday, November 23, 2021 from 6-8 p.m. at LDCJC and the day of the service 8-9 a.m.
