Helen Seamons

Helen Jewel Hancey Seamons, 97, of Hyde Park, Utah peacefully returned to her
Heavenly Father on Thursday, October 11, 2012, at the Legacy House in Logan,
Utah. She was born August 12, 1915 in Hyde Park to Henry Edwin Hancey, Jr. and
Sarah Vera Waite Hancey with the assistance of midwife Annie Marie
Christopherson Hancey. She was the third daughter of six girls, Virginia Lee,
Gwen Miles, Luana Liston, Claire Harris, and Donna Zell Nelson.

Her early life was spent in Hyde Park where she attended public schools,
graduating from North Cache High School in 1933. She married her childhood
sweetheart, Kenneth Jackson Seamons, June 7,1935, in the Logan LDS Temple.
They enjoyed 67 years together before Ken's passing in 2002. After residing on
the church farm in Benson for 9 years, they returned to Hyde Park on the
northwest corner of town where they raised their family and where she resided
for almost all the rest of her life. At the time of her death, she was the oldest
living resident of Hyde Park.

While raising her family, she did seasonal work at Del Monte, worked at
JCPenney and retired from the North Park School lunch program. She was an
excellent cook and a wonderful seamstress. She learned to be very self-sufficient.
She has been a great matriarch to our family over all these years.

She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints all of
her life. She served in Primary, MIA, Sunday School, and Relief Society where she
had just recently been released as a Visiting Teacher Supervisor. She was also a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers of the William Hyde Camp. Ken and Helen
served for 10 years as officiators in the Logan Temple. Helen enjoyed spending
time with friends and family, talking genealogy, and watching the Jazz and
Lawrence Welk.

She is survived by her children, Sherrill(Gary) Joy, Jewel (Thayne) Karren, Ed
Seamons, and Steve (Pam) Seamons, 20 grandchildren, 59 great-grandchildren, 5
great-great-grandchildren and with spouses a total posterity of 114 and still
growing. She is also survived by two sister-in-laws, Alice(Ken) Cardon and Norma
Seamons.
The Seamons family would like to express their grateful appreciation to Caregivers
Support Network, Dr. Todd Brown and his staff, and the staff at Legacy House for
their kind and loving care of Helen and to all her friends and family who have
made her life easier these last years.
