Margie Rae Dean Firth

Margie Rae Dean Firth, a long-time resident of Taylorsville, Utah and member of the 10th Ward, has been called home to the Lord on July 8, 2026, at the age of 84.

Her life was defined by her devotion to her Mormon faith, the Lord’s work at the Salt Lake Temple and dedication to nurturing her family and the community around her. She enjoyed being a part of various positions within the 10th Ward such as Primary Teacher and Sunday School teacher. She was part of the Relief Society women’s group and enjoyed visiting teaching with other women. She became a member of the Church Choir, and a Cub Scout Den mother. She helped at church gatherings whenever she could. She loved Genealogy and connecting families together where she worked in the name extraction for Danish language for 7 years and had a regional position for 3 years. She was instrumental in putting together her own family genealogy.

Her love for gardening and canning was a blessing to her family. She loved playing games and her favorite card game was Canasta, she mastered that game to the degree it was hard for others to win. She loved music and found joy in playing the violin whenever she had the opportunity. She faced many life’s struggles with courage and resilience, overcoming each challenge as best she could, taking one day at a time. Her warm, contagious smile brightened every room she entered and lifted the spirits of those around her.

She is reunited with her husband Charles Vern Firth of 58 years who recently passed in 2022. She was born on April 28, 1942, to Margie Lois Ferrin Dean Heap of Salt Lake City, Utah and Ferrin Leo Dean of St. George, Utah. She was preceded in death by brothers Ferrin Leo Dean of Salt Lake City, Utah and Keith Raymond Dean of San Diego, California.

She is survived by her 5 children: Jay and his wife Colleen, Janet, Troy and his wife Amy, Steven, Teresa and her husband Mark. Margie was a proud grandmother of fifteen grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren, all of whom loved her dearly and will miss her deeply.
