Lee Hargrave Jones of South Jordan, Utah, passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, on May 13, 2026, at the age of 70.
She was born on March 7, 1956, to Stanley and Genevieve (Debe) Hargrave in Santa Rosa, California. Lee met her sweetheart, Brian Jones, while he was serving the Lord as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Northern California. After Lee joined the Church, she tracked down her missionary, and the two quickly fell in love. They were married in 1978 in the Salt Lake Temple and shared 48 beautiful years together, on their way to eternity.
Lee loved her Savior with all her heart. She loved camping at Pole Creek with Brian and her kids, gardening and seeing her yard full of beautiful flowers, traveling, worshipping in the temple, and spending time with her 18 beloved grandchildren, who were among the great treasures of her life. She loved her family fiercely and would travel to visit them any chance she could.
Lee loved to cook, and her famous Swedish Twists were well known. Her memory will live on every Christmas morning in many of her sons’ homes as they carry that tradition forward with their own families. Early on, she spent countless hours driving her boys to practices, games, school events, and every place they needed to be, happy to serve from behind the wheel as a true “soccer mom.” In later years, her activity was limited by debilitating disease, yet she continued to love and serve in every way she could.
Lee had a tender heart, the most beautiful smile, and the best laugh. Her husband, Brian, always knew how to make her laugh. She loved and was loved by her many dear friends, wonderful neighbors, and all who knew her.
She is survived by her husband, Brian; her sons, Daniel (Kira), Brad (Keeli), Spencer (Nancy), and Matthew (JayDee); her twin sister, Lyn; her brother, Neil; and her 18 grandchildren, who will miss their Gma Lee.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Ward building located at 2550 W 9800 S in South Jordan, Utah.
Interment will follow at Larkin Sunset Gardens, located at 1950 E Dimple Dell Road (10600 S), Sandy, Utah.
