Mourning the Passing of Friends: Forthcoming Funeral Service


"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”

 Jual Porter Daniels


Our mom loved the world created by our Heavenly Father. She saw beauty in a glorious sunset or in a small brown sparrow.

She was born in Layton, Utah on September 15, 1927. She became the daughter of Heber C. and Dora Hyde Porter. She grew up in Payson, Utah and graduated from Payson High School.

She married John W. (Jack) Daniels in Evanston, Wyoming on May 4, 1946. The marriage was later solemnized in the Provo, Utah temple.

Mom worked most of her married life at J.C. Penny, Safeway, and the Nebo School District but always made time for us. She loved her home and made it a place we and our friends loved to gather. Our family got together every Sunday night and still did so until the time of her passing. 

She loved the many friends she made while working, belonging to the Jr. Cultus Club for many years and serving as a Pink Lady at Mountain View Hospital for 18 years. She loved and missed the friends she played bridge with. She felt blessed by the many good people in her life.

She knew and loved her Savior. She served Him in Primary, as the Relief Society President of the Park Ward and was still teaching Relief Society at age 90. She served a service mission with her husband in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. 

She was an avid reader. She wrote poetry for her enjoyment and that of her family. She was a published writer. 

Jual was preceded in death by her husband and 1 great-grandson. 

She is survived by her 5 children, Jackie Hone, Scott Daniels (Chrissy), Dorie Hone (Jim), Drew Daniels (Denise), and Jon Daniels, 18 grandchildren, 43 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren.

A graveside service will be held on Saturday, October 3, 2020 at 11 a.m. at the Payson City Cemetery for immediate family only. Please wear masks and social distance. Bringing your own chair is recommended.

Payson Councilman Encourages Civil Discourse

Councilman Doug Welton took a moment earlier this week to encourage civil discourse. “It’s kind of tough

right now,” he said, speaking in the council and staff reports portion of the September 16 council meeting.

“There’s a lot of difficult things going on in the world and I would just ask us to be nice.  We’ve got an

election coming up, we have social issues coming up, we’ve got COVID and big discussions on that.”


The councilman reflected on a visit to Brigham Young University by the social scientist and writer

Arthur Brooks. “He gave a speech and in his speech he said, ‘We don’t need to disagree less. We need

to disagree more, but we need to disagree better’.”


“I think there’s important discussions that we have to have,” Councilman Welton said, explaining that,

out of fear of how others might react, people do not always take part in them.

“I think there’s a lot of tough decisions and I think we should engage in those not just at a city level,

but at the citizen level too.”

Mark Alan Evans


An obituary 11 weeks late would appeal to Mark Alan Evans’s love of the absurd! At least that’s what we’re telling ourselves to feel better about the delay. We were waiting for technical difficulties to be resolved, and now links for the funeral talks are below or on FB under Nadine Budd Evans. Mark died June 27, 2020 after a 28-month heroic battle with pancreatic cancer. His wife Nadine, children Rich (Jessica) Millar, James (Britny), Tanya (Jack) Treseler, Daniel, Ben & Nadia, his grandkids, siblings and all the family miss him horribly.

Tell Them Thanks

 

Payson Events Director Janeen Dean (pictured, far left, with a TV news crew) has rolled with the punches that have come with this year's COVID-19 pandemic. Some events she oversees were postponed or canceled. Other major events like the Salmon Supper and this weekend's Golden Onion Days went on, thanks in part to her quick-thinking and creativity in altering these occasions to abide with the changes.

If you see her, or city crews and celebration volunteers, in Memorial Park today, the final day of Onion Days, tell them thanks.

"There’s a Superhero in Everyone!”

 


The 2020 Golden Onion Days’ theme celebrates the extraordinary that is found in everyone. Two of our community’s superheroes stand out and as such they have been granted the special honor as the celebration’s grand marshals.
Joe and Deanna Worthen (pictured here) are devoted to the civic good. Their service in Payson and surrounding cities is vast. It reigns supreme.
While there will not be a grand parade for Mr and Mrs Worthen to ride in this year, the grand marshals’ presence will be cherished throughout the Golden Onion Days festivities.
Discover the events that await and the local businesses that pay homage to the community in the 2020 The Payson Chronicle Golden Onion Days Edition.
