Our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Marion Peterson, peacefully returned to her Heavenly Father on Monday, January 11, 2021 in her home of 61 years in Taylorsville, Utah. We are comforted by knowing there was a joyful reunion with those that preceded her in death, including her husband Zane, her daughter Robin, her parents Paul and Viola Ebert, her brothers Paul and Donald and sister Joyce.
Marion grew up near Little Cottonwood Canyon in Granite, Utah and was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She loved sharing memories with her family about the adventures she had with her siblings Paul (Beth), Donald (Marilyn), Joyce (Leon) and Viola (Val). Some of her favorite stories included her parents fruit farm, helping her father deliver fruit to neighbors in need, bottling fruits and jams with her mother and playing with cousins and friends in the lily pond on their property. She loved sharing memories about trips to Lagoon and going downtown to Salt Lake City. She was also so proud to be a Jordan Beetdigger! As a young adult, she worked at Sweets Candy and also worked as a switchboard operator in Midvale.
In 1953 she met the love of her life, Zane Peterson. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple for time and all eternity on February 26, 1954. They settled in Taylorsville where they raised their two daughters, Vicky (Alan) and Robin.
Marion will be remembered for her quiet service to friends, neighbors and family. She often sent letters and cards in the mail and made phone calls to brighten someone’s day. She was a member of the Relief Society for 72 years and served as a Sunday School teacher for nearly 20 years. She loved gathering her family together for Family Home Evening, singing hymns and having barbecues. Her faith and family meant everything to her.
Marion especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren Kelly (Renee) and Stephanie (Corey) and great-grandchildren Weldon, Porter, Hunter, Titan, Mia, Jackson, and Raegan.

Sending my best to the family! I have such fond memories of Marion and Zane growing up. They were always so sweet and loving to me and our family. Marion will be dearly missed. Much love, Janae
So sorry to see aunt Marion passing away. We would have loved to come to the viewing but with Tay being her immune system being low due her kidney transplant we haven’t been going anywhere due to COVID. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with you.

We will miss our wonderful neighbor Marion. Her journey is now complete to be with Zane and Robin. We enjoyed spending time with her and listening to the wonderful stories about her life. Marion is a very charming lady. We are very blessed to be called her friend.
Love Jim and Norma
Dear Vicky, Alan, and family. We are deeply saddened by the passing of dear Marion. We are sure that she rejoiced as she was greeted by husband Zane and daughter Robin. She suffered greatly during her last years of life and Karma and Don talk often about the relief of leaving all bodily pains behind. We love Marion and have always thought of her as being part of our family. We love you and all of your/our family. We would have wanted to attend the funeral service but Alan said that only the immediate family was to attend, and because of our old age and covid19, we should not attend. We love you all.
We were so sorry to hear about our wonderful & sweet neighbor passing. We will miss your sweet smile.
Our Condolences to you Vicky and your family for the passing of your mom. What a sweet person she was and is. She always had a smile,and made others smile too!
