Mary Wilson Lovell

WASHINGTON - Mary Louisa Wilson Lovell, 82, was called Home to her Heavenly
Father, Sunday, December 18, 2005, following an extended illness. She was born
March 24, 1923 in Duchesne, Utah to Rachel D. Tidwell and Ernest Evans Wilson.

She married Thomas D. Lovell on March 18, 1944 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Their
marriage was later solemnized August 1948 in the Salt Lake Temple. They were
blessed with four children; Lawrence Harper Lovell, Franklin W. Lovell, Robyn
Dee Lovell and Kenneth David Lovell.

Mary grew up in Duchesne and graduated from Duchesne High School in 1941. She
received a Scholarship to BYU and attended two semesters. Unable to afford
continuing school and due to World War II, Mary began manufacturing
"Ammunition Pellets" at the Ogden Arsenal. In 1943 she was employed at the new
Naval Supply Depot in Clearfield, UT in the "Finance and Supply" section until
the war ended.

Mary's life's joy came from her love for family, friends and Heavenly Father.
A faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; her life
was serving others. She humbly accepted numerous callings and leadership
positions in Wards and Stakes, wherever they lived.

Mary was a faithful servant. She lived in Murray, UT over the years, five
years in Twin Falls, ID, 25 years in Bartlesville, OK and 10 years in
Washington, UT. Following Tom's retirement in 1985, they served in the
Pennsylvania-Pittsburgh Mission and upon returning home they served as full
time temple workers in the Dallas Texas Temple. Returning to Utah in 1991,
Mary enjoyed being an Ordinance Worker in the Jordan River and St. George
Temples serving the Patrons until her health began to fail.

She is survived by her husband, Tom Lovell of Washington; her three sons and
their wives, Larry (Pat Redd), Frank (Marsha Mayfield), and Ken (Susie
Sydenham); 22 grandchildren; 19 great grandchildren; and her brother Ernest J.
