Jessie Audrey Jones Steadman

Our sweet angel mother, grandmother, aunt, great-grandmother, and friend, left her earthly home in Taylorsville, Utah, at the age of 97, to return to her Heavenly home on Mothers Day, Sunday, May 11, 2014. Audrey was born in Bingham, Utah, March 8, 1917, to David William Jones and Clara Parkes Jones. She moved to Taylorsville at the age of one and has resided on the same street, 4800 South, all of her life. She helped with her father's dairy farm "Jones Dairy" until her marriage to Virgil Otto Steadman, Sept. 26, 1940, in the Salt Lake Temple, where they were sealed for time and all eternity. She worked beside her husband in his profession as a watchmaker at Steadman's Jewelry in Murray, Utah, until 1975. They became the proud parents of Connie, Beverlee, and Rodney. During her lifetime, she has seen the passing of both of her parents and all eight of her siblings. She was the last of the "Jones Gang" - a title she proudly proclaimed. Audrey has been an active member of the LDS Church since her baptism in the canal near her home at 1488 West, 4800 South at the age of eight. She enjoyed serving as Relief Society President, and many MIA and Primary assignments. Audrey dearly loved her family, often saying that she had the best family in the world." She is survived by her daughters, Connie (Jim) Taney and Beverlee (Brent) Bunderson; and son, Rodney (Christie) Steadman, who all adored and will deeply miss her. She was a great example to her posterity of 75 descendants. Her legacy lives on as we remember what a great blessing she has been in our lives. Interment will be a the Elysian Burial Gardens.
