Emily Ford Thomas, 92, passed away Tuesday, November 25, 2003.
She was a resident of Hearthstone Manor, having come there in July from Chino, California where she and her husband had resided with their daughter, Barbara, for two years. They had previously been residents of Saint George, Utah for the past twenty plus years.
Emily was born April 9, 1911, the fourth child of eleven to Willard Eugene Ford and Myrtle Roundy in Kanab, Utah. She lived in that community until her marriage to Kenneth Lavar Thomas of Spanish Fork, Utah. In their early married years they lived in Spanish Fork. They moved many times, both of them working and improving their situation with each move. Emily was a secretary, bookkeeper and office manager for Sacramento Crane Company for many years and retired from this company. Following her retirement, she and Kenneth traveled extensively throughout the United States and Canada.
Emily was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many leadership callings in the Primary and Young Women's. She took great pride in being a reliable visiting teacher. Emily was an avid genealogist and gathered research information regarding her family. She also loved flower gardening and did hand work. Her hands were seldom idle and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren are the benefactors of her labors.
Two infant children, Darwin Eugene, and an unnamed girl preceded Emily in death. Emily is survived by her husband, Kenneth, to whom she has been married for 73 years; her children, Barbara Ellsworth of Chino, California and Kenneth Blaine Thomas of San Jose, California. She has four grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. One brother and four sisters also survive her.
Services will be held at Walker Family Mortuary, 187 South Main, Spanish Fork, Utah, on Friday, December 5, 2003. A viewing will be held from 9-9:45 a.m. followed by services at 10 a.m. Interment will be in the Spanish Fork City Cemetery.
