Kathleen Isobel Parkinson Benson
Kathleen Isobel Parkinson Benson, age 90 3/4 passed away on Monday September 2, 2019 at home among family members. She was born November 23, 1928, in Blackpool, Lancashire, England.
She married Don Bertram Benson on March 27, 1953 in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the LDS Temple. They were married for 66 years.
Kathleen Isobel was a faithful & dedicated wife whom always had Don’s back. They worked together as a team throughout their lives, with the raising of their family, home chores and expanding the Benson Family Apartments. It was a lot of very hard work and it was never ending; something was always available to be done. Maybe now they will be able to rest in peace.
She was proceeded in death by her husband Don, their son Roger Parkinson Benson, both of her parents John Thomas Parkinson, and Kathleen Hayhurst Parkinson, and twin brother and sister both of whom died in their infancy in England, along with their faithful English Setter, Zack.
She is survived by two sisters Connie Parkinson Binks (Blair Binks) of Bountiful, Utah; and Wendy Parkinson Klossner (John Klossner) of Salt Lake City, Utah. Her four remaining children Nancy Benson Jenson (Joseph W Jenson) of Enoch Utah; Kathleen Benson Hiramatsu (Warren Hiramatsu) of Burbank, California; Charles Benson of Bountiful, Utah; and Glenn Benson, Bountiful, Utah. Six Grandchildren: Jennifer Jenson (Michael Bird); Matthew Jenson (Diana Jenson); Jeffrey Jenson (Kelsey Jenson); Jordan Benson; Brandon Benson; & Kelsey Hiramatsu. Further along with six great grandchildren: Dean, James, Scott, Evelyn, Abigail & Laura.
To her son Charles; who lovingly cared for Kathleen Isobel & Don over the years, providing love, assistance, and companionship – his siblings, nieces & nephews, and everyone else who also cared their greatest gratitude, to level that cannot be communicated properly Your love and dedication is unprecedented. We forever thank you.
Kathleen Isobel grew up on the family farm in Lancashire County England; helping with the daily chores of farming, and other family businesses. She accompanied her parents to the local market where they would sell the fruits, vegetables, flowers, and the candy made from the Secret Family Candy Recipe “Treacle Toffee.” Not only is it a tasty treat, but also used for what ails you when you were sick, and truly feels that it will heal you of anything!
Growing up during World War II was not only difficult but required sacrificing from all. Ration books and food allotments where the way of the times and everyone learned to pitch in and work together for the War Effort. Property and vehicles were requisitioned by the government for the War Effort which made life even harder. School children, including Kathleen Isobel was taught to crochet and knit in the local education system, where they would knit socks for the solders. Kathleen made countless pairs of socks for the soldiers during the war.
Before moving the to the United States of America in 1951, Kathleen Isobel worked for the Ministry of Pensions in England; and helped to save up the money needed to move their family to America, and to prove to the American Government that they would not be a burden on the people of the USA.
Kathleen Isobel traveled as a young child with her parents four times across the Atlantic Ocean to Canada, as her father’s business brought the need for their presence there. Sailing the fifth time across the Atlantic Ocean, this time on the Queen Mary (now docked in Long Beach, CA) to New York City, New York; with her Mother and two sisters. They continued beyond their seaward voyage, continuing onward with the cross-country journey by train – not by handcart – to Salt Lake City, Utah to join Kathleen Isobel’s Aunt Maud Eckersley, her mother’s eldest sister. Maud’s family sponsored the Parkinson family’s immigration to the USA.
In order to qualify for Immigration Visa’s to move to this country, they had to provide cash-value bonds which were required at that time, to show they could support themselves, and were not looking for a hand-out. Soon after they moved to Salt Lake City, both Kathleen Isobel and her Mother, also Kathleen, obtain employment and supported the family after which they would become Proud United States Naturalized Citizens, along with her two younger sisters, Connie & Wendy. Nonetheless, her love for her homeland never faded.
Kathleen Isobel became very proficient with knitting and crocheting. She spent her lifetime knitting, crocheting, quilting, and sewing for her family and friends; and would attend local craft fairs with her handy-work set up for sale. She also taught her children to knit, crochet and sew. No matter where she went, she would always have some knitting project with her to pass the time. Kathleen Isobel has probably already staked out a craft fair and set up her goods for sale by now. When giving a hand-made gift, she felt it was the kindest gift one could give; because of the time and attention that had been put into it.
She enjoyed the English Language and could often be found writing. As a child she thrived in her English Classes and had many poems and recitations that she enjoyed performing.
The most memorable was “Burlington Bertie,” written by Harry B. Norris in 1900, written as a song she performed it as a sing-song recitation, while this was the most memorable, there were many others.
She enjoyed receiving letters from her grandchildren, while they lived far away.
These letters were immediately edited and returned to the grandchildren with red marks for correction and was to be mailed back corrected with the next letter – until it was perfect.
As a lover of the English Language she made sure that her family knew how to speak and write proper English.
This often backfired with the American schoolteachers.
For the English her children and grandchildren knew and had been drilled into them was English and not American.
There are many words still that our friends and colleagues do not understand and often our writing switches between English & American.
“You say tomatoe and I say tomato….” the challenge is real in our world!
Kathleen Isobel often spoke of loving to sing in her younger days, both in England, and Utah; she enjoyed being in the choir.
She also loved to dance, she grew up dancing at the Empress Ballroom at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, England. Where “The World’s First & Foremost Festival of Dancing” is held as part of the Blackpool Dance Festival.
Not surprising she met Don at a dance in Utah.
It’s common knowledge that the British are not known for their cooking skills and Kathleen Isobel’s forte was not in the kitchen either.
Nonetheless, her family was able to thrive because Kathleen Isobel managed to conquer the task of food preparation with the fact that she could open cans of food and create a dinner.
Or she would heat up some frozen foods, (the microwave was very welcome invention in her kitchen), and let’s not forget Don’s Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches included with smiley faces.
These the Benson family food staples.
Albeit she had a few dishes that were quite lovely and enjoyed; for instance, her macaroni salad, and triffle.
The Family will receive friends on Monday September 9, 2019, viewing at 10:00 am, followed by a memorial service at 1:00 pm at Memorial Lake View Mortuary, 1640 East Lakeview Drive, Bountiful, Utah.
After which, a graveside service will be held immediately following, at the same location.
Arrangements are being handled by Memorial Lake View Estates.
Kathleen Isobel will be missed by all that knew and loved her, she taught us a lot.
