Bio
RUPERT - Myron Glen Jones, 86, a former resident of Rupert, passed away peacefully Monday, Sept. 20, 2010, at the home of his stepson, Derrill and Diana Richards of Caldwell. He had been residing there for the past several months. Glen was born March 19, 1924, in Enoch, Iron County, Utah, the son of Myron Simkins and Mary Elzina (Davenport) Jones. He received his education in Utah, graduating from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Science degree in education. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II, having received two Purple Hearts, the Silver Star and two Bronze Star Medals. Following his honorable discharge, Glen served a full-time mission for the LDS Church in the Western States Mission. He married Elma Maurine Walker on Sept. 5, 1951, in the St. George LDS Temple. To this union were born six children. Glen first worked as a school teacher in southern Utah and then as a shop foreman for Massey Ferguson. Glen, along with his brother, opened their own business, Interstate Manufacturing (IMCO) in Denver and later a second location in Rupert. Following the death of his wife, Elma in 1989, Glen married Lorene Hess Richards on July 21, 1989, in Logan, Utah. They resided in St. George, Utah, until failing health required their relocation to Caldwell. Glen was an active member of the LDS Church and served faithfully throughout his life where he held many teaching and leadership positions. Glen had a beautiful tenor voice. He sang in the Snake River Flats for many years and was always active in the various church ward choirs. He was an avid reader, invented many things, and enjoyed rebuilding engines and equipment and target shooting. Glen and his first wife, Elma, had a special friendship with Blaine and Lois Rasmussen and, together, enjoyed traveling during their semi-retirement years. Glen is survived by his wife, Lorene Richards Jones; his children, Annette Kent, Kathy (Cody) Morgan, Wendell (Candy) Jones, Karlyn (Kevan) Bessire, Shirlene (Kevin) Rogers and Allen (Jenn) Jones; his stepchildren, Derrill (Dianna) Richards and Bobby Joe (Larry) Stocking; one brother, Denton (Mary) Jones; 28 grandchildren; and 18 great-grandchildren. In addition to his first wife, Elma, he was preceded in death by his parents; a son-in-law, Steve Kent; a great-grandson, Taton S. Kent; and his siblings, Ivor Jones, Verda Matheson, Marva Armstrong, Norine Chamberlain, Bessie Heaton, LaVon Jones and LaRee Jones. The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Sept. 27, at the Rasmussen Funeral Home, 1350 E. 16th St. in Burley, with Bishop Robert Trevino officiating. Burial will be in the Rupert Cemetery with military rites provided by the Mini-Cassia Veterans Organization. Friends may call from 6 until 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 26, and from 10 until 10:45 a.m. Monday at Rasmussen Funeral Home. The family expresses their sincere appreciation to Derrill and Diana for the loving care given to our father, and to the medical staff and hospice of Caldwell.
