Bio
Alice Ann "Sallee" Hawkins Worthen 1930 - 2023 ❦ Early Life: Sallee was born February 3, 1930, to Ray and Montez Eliza Elliott Hawkins, of Edgemont, Utah. She was raised in Edgemont on a farm with her older brothers, Dick and Doug Hawkins. They had fruit trees, chickens, horses, and were a hardworking family. Seventeen years later, she finally got a sister, Dorthy, whom she loved and did many things with later in life. Sallee graduated from Lincoln High School in 1948. ❦ Life's Work | Service | Interests: On September 30, 1948, she married the love of her life, Richard Cleon "Dick" Worthen. In 2016, they were sealed in the Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple. They made their home in Lehi, Utah, where they raised six children. ❦ Sallee worked at the Utah State Developmental Center in American Fork, Utah, where she met many friends. She loved her work there and would often bring some of the children home at Christmastime for a few hours or to do other activities. She also worked at Cascade Shadows Plant and Garden Center in the spring and planted flowers, which she loved to do. She had a green thumb; most remember her beautiful yard and rose garden she loved to work in. Sallee also worked at Laney's on Lehi Main Street for a number of years. This job supported her love of nice clothes. The family's favorite was her love of gold shoes. ❦ Sallee had a love of travel. She went with her high school friends to many countries and had lots of adventures. She had a special love for Scotland and Ireland and visited many places her relatives came from, including the Fraser Castle. She loved history and was very knowledgeable about the places she had been. She would light up when talking about them and had so many wonderful memories she loved to share. ❦ When Dick retired, they volunteered many hours at Yuba State Park where they made many friends and good memories. In 1987, they were awarded the "Citizen of the Year Award" by the Division of Utah State Parks. ❦ They loved the outdoors, especially with their family. In 1993, Dick and Sallee purchased property near Salina, Utah, and made their own park which they named "Nunya". This was the place for family and friends to enjoy time together. As the years went by, they spent many hours there building their own nine-hole golf course, fishing, hunting, playing horseshoes, cards, and riding their four-wheelers. They loved Nunya and spent as much time as they could during the year with family and friends. ❦ Sallee has missed Dick the last nine years. It was hard for her being alone even though she always had friends and family that would drop in daily. As a family, we are happy they are reunited and hope they are preparing our new Nunya in the next life. ❦ Family Message: Sallee (Mom) always put her family first. She was our rock and we will continue to proudly build on her and Dad's legacy. We will miss you Mom more than any words can say —but as some of the last words you spoke— "Just Be Happy". We will continue to do good and love our family that was built by your love. ❦ Survived By: Six children: Rick (Sandra) Worthen, Ann (Tran) King, John (Loraine) Worthen, Chris (Randy) Roten, Ray (Kim) Worthen, and Troy (Jodi) Worthen; 24 grandchildren, 76 great-grandchildren; 11 great-great-grandchildren (with four on the way); a sister, Dorthy Goulding; and sister-in-law, Audrey Worthen. ❦ Preceded In Death By: Her husband, Dick; parents, Ray & Montez Hawkins; her brothers: Dick and Doug Hawkins; and a granddaughter, Angela Worthen. ❦ Services: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ❦ Chapel Location: 880 North 700 East | Lehi, Utah ❦ Obituary: © 2023 | Wing Mortuary ❦ Interment: Lehi City Cemetery Bio compiled by: Annie Duckett Hundley
