LaJuana Jean DeAngeles Williams passed away peacefully amongst family and loved ones on December 10, 2024, in Farmington, Utah. She was born August 8, 1930, in Castlegate, Utah, Carbon County, to Ruth Babcock and Michael DeAngeles. She married her companion and best friend, Don David Williams Sr. on June 11, 1950. Marriage solemnized in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple, on June 10, 1954.
LaJuana was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She offered her talent for playing the piano in various callings, enjoyed teaching primary with Don, and served with him in the Oakland, CA, Mission and the Church Temple Records Department in Salt Lake City.
LaJuana identified strongly with her Italian heritage. Her legacy includes a culture of cooking mouthwatering meals for the family and friends she loved so dearly (i.e.., spaghetti and meatballs so good you wish you had Italian heritage). Caputos, in Salt Lake City, was her Italy away from Italy. Greetings were on a first-name basis and always came with extra olives. LaJuana loved football unless the Denver Broncos were playing and was a staunch BYU football fan. She was an avid skier for many years, she adored dogs and made beautiful quilts for the people she loved. Making friends was easy for LaJuana, and if you knew her, you knew you could count on grey t-shirts, denim, Pepsi, salami, enough jewelry to choke a horse, a welcoming home, lots of love, and lots of sass.
LaJuana is survived by her daughter Michele Toone (Tim), sons, Don David Jr. (Pamela), Richard Paul, daughter-in-law Mary Ann Olsen (Mike), 16 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, her sister Lola Star (Steve), her youngest son Stephen Michael Williams, and a niece Candace Star.
Much gratitude is felt for the staff and aids at The Cottage of Legacy House for their love and care. Thanks also goes to LaJuana’s hospice nurse for her tenderness and professionalism.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, December 21st at 11:00 am at the Kensington Ward, Somerset Chapel, 1885 Summerwood Dr. Farmington, Utah, with a viewing from 9:30-10:30 am prior to the service—internment at Larkin Sunset Gardens.

Guestbook/Condolences
Quin and I love LuJuana. I was her visiting teacher and Quin was her bishop. The last time we spoke, she was eager to be with her sweetheart, Don. We are comforted to know she has realized her dreams. I can’t imagine what it was like to be rid of those painful knees and to experience clarity of mind as she ran to meet Don and her son. We will see you again in the not so distant future.
