Lucy Grant Cannon Dutson Taylor
Lucy Grant Cannon Dutson Taylor passed away peacefully on Friday, October 27, 2017 in her home in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was 95 and a half years old.
Lucy was born April 19, 1922 in Salt Lake City, Utah to George Jenkins and Lucy Grant Cannon. She spent her childhood surrounded by her six siblings and many cousins in the Avenues neighborhood which the family nicknamed "Grantsville." She attended West High School and graduated in Education and Home Economics from Brigham Young University. She also attended the University of Utah, receiving a teaching license and some graduate education.
Lucy married Keith Clinton Dutson in May 1943 in the Salt Lake Temple. They moved to California and had two children, Elizabeth and Keith. Following her husband's death in 1955, she returned to Salt Lake City and worked as a secretary at the University of Utah. She was a faithful lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Among her many callings, she was a member of the Primary General Board for 14 years. She helped write manuals and served on the committee that conceived the "Choose the Right" motto and designed the CTR logo. She married Frank William Taylor in June 1967. She and Frank served as missionaries in the Chile Santiago North Mission, volunteered as guides on Temple Square and spent time with family.
Lucy enjoyed music, traveling and spending time with loved ones. Her thoughtful nature and warm hospitality touched the lives of many neighbors and relatives. She was a devoted wife and mother, a caring grandmother and a loyal friend. Her example of unwavering faith and humility is treasured by those who knew her. She once wrote "I love my Savior Jesus Christ and pray that I may be worthy to live in His presence."
She is survived by her son Keith C. Dutson (Phyllis), son-in-law E. Gordon Gee, stepdaughter-in-law Jane P. Taylor, stepson-in-law Lawrence M. Harmon, 11 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by Keith Clinton Dutson, Frank W. Taylor, her parents, siblings, daughter Elizabeth Dutson Gee, stepdaughter Carolyn Taylor Harmon and stepson William F. Taylor.
Funeral services will be held at 11am on Saturday, November 4, 2017 at Ensign Stake Center, 135 A Street. Friends may call at the Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South Temple, on Friday, 6-8pm and at the church on Saturday morning 9:30-10:30am. Burial will be at the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
