Thelma Mahoney Anderson

Born to Elmer and Nancy Jane Jones Mahoney in Center, Wasatch County, on Dec. 10, 1912, Thelma lived an exemplary life as a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and member of the LDS Church.  She passed away at the age of 92 on Sept. 11, 2005 in Azle, TX.

She spent the early years of her life with her parents and six brothers in Heber Valley where she attended school, graduating from Wasatch High School in 1929.  At 16 years of age, she moved to Salt Lake City to live with her brother, Rolla, his wife Effie, and their family, while attending classes at the University of Utah.  She married Lindsay B. Anderson, who was also a Heber Valley native, on June 11, 1935, in the Salt Lake Temple.  Their family life developed in Logan, Tremonton, Missoula and Kalispel (MT), Salt Lake City, Price and Provo where Lindsay went to Panama to serve during World War II.  She was left to take care of their first three children.  After his return, the family moved to Cedar City until 1951 when they moved back to Provo.

During this time, three more children were added to the family.  Mom was noted for her ability and enthusiasm to organize large, complex family-related events such as dinners, family reunions, picnics and camping trips.  Her unwritten and undeclared agenda had the purpose to make us feel good about ourselves, our families and our surroundings.  As a member of the LDS Church, Mom worked tirelessly in Sunday School, Primary and Relief Society, where she served twice as President in the Provo 22nd Ward.  She and Dad served in the California, Arcadia/California San Bernardino, Mission from 1979 to 1981.  They enjoyed participating as Temple Ordinance workers.  Dad passed away in 1996, and Mom lived in Orem until 2002, when encouraged by her daughter Judy and son-in-law Kent Talbot, she went to live with them in Azle, TX.  There, she enjoyed the most beautiful and dedicated attention that everyone hoped for.  The talbot family was a special blessing to her.

Survived by her children, Lynette (Duane) Harmon, Madison, CT; David (Nelida), Las Cruces, NM; Leon (Kathryn), Provo; Linda (Jess) Nuttall, Pinesdale, MT; Mark (Betty), Provo; and Judy (Kent) Talbot, Azle, TX.  She has 28 grandchildren and 42 great-grandchildren.  

Funeral services were held Friday, Sept. 16, in the Bonneville Fourth Ward Chapel, 1289 East, 300 South, Provo.

Interment was in the Heber City Cemetery.
