Elizabeth Goodall Andrews

Elizabeth Goodall Andrews, 86, of Payson, Utah passed away peacefully Friday, June 8, 2018 at home. She was born on August 28, 1931, in Santaquin, Utah to Parley Mangus and Laura Jerman Goodall. She had three siblings Aileen Dansie, LaRain (Zaloma) and Vaudis Howarth (Boyd). Her childhood and teenage years were spent in Santaquin going to school, attending church and working, happily surrounded by her extended family, whom all lived with in a four-block radius.

Growing up on a farm, Elizabeth remembers picking fruit during the summers. She was paid fifty cents for picking a crate of raspberries that sold for $3.00. As she grew up she made herself a promise she would never marry a farmer.

Elizabeth graduated from Payson High School in 1949 and began working as a receptionist for Dr. Steele in Nephi, Utah.  While there she was introduced to Verness Andrews.  They were married on November 16, 1956, in the Salt Lake City Temple. Elizabeth then spent the rest of her life supporting and caring for her husband, a farmer.

Verness and Elizabeth settled in Payson, Utah and became the parents of five children. Her greatest enjoyment came from serving her family. Whether making afghans and quilts, baking apple sauce cake or teaching her grandchildren to read, we all felt her love and support in everything we were doing.

Elizabeth continued her love of children’s stories when she became a reading aide for Nebo School District for many years. She diligently and faithfully fulfilled her church callings, especially her years working in the Primary Organization. Elizabeth was a trusted friend and neighbor, who held confidences and relationships near to her heart.

She is survived by her husband, children Karen Buys (Keith), Doris Adams, Bruce (Christy), Keith (Anna) and Laura, 17 grandchildren, and 2 great granddaughters. She was preceded in death by her parents and siblings.

Susan Penelope Younes Drummond

Susan Penelope Younes Drummond peacefully passed away in her sleep on June 5, 2018. She will be missed by her husband, daughter, son-in-law, nine grandchildren and their spouses, and her great-grandson, all of whom look forward to having her as their guardian angel.

Susan was born on March 17, 1946, in Detroit, Michigan, to Phillip and Frances Younes, but they soon moved to sunny southern California where Susan grew up. When Susan was a young woman, she attended a dance where she met John Drummond. At first sight, he described her as “the most beautiful woman in the room.”. He asked her to dance, and the rest is history. .They were married shortly thereafter on the 20th of December, 1970. Soon Susan decided that one little baby couldn't be too much trouble and her life became devoted to raising Sherry Lynn, and later to spoiling and supporting her nine grandchildren.

Susan was an educator and a life-long learner. She worked in the public schools, often as a bilingual Spanish teacher. She loved her women's Bible study groups. She always appreciated the arts. She spent years taking her daughter to music and dance lessons. Susan especially loved art when her grandchildren performed or created art. Her life legacy embodies her optimism, her Christian faith, her love and support of her family, and of course, fashion. Susan was never outdated or too old to learn to appreciate new things, especially when her grandchildren performed or created that art. She will be remembered for her immense love and support.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 16, 2018, at 2 PM, at the Page Ward Chapel, 600 East 700 South, Payson. A visitation will be held from 1-1:45 PM, prior to the services. Interment will be held at the Payson City Cemetery.
