Joyce Weston

Joyce F. Weston
Saturday evening, August 7, 2010, Joyce Fornoff Weston finished her wonderful journey in
beautiful Cache Valley where she lived her entire life. She was born on July 8, 1927 in
Ogden, UT to Harold Leonard Fornoff and Ruth Pingree Fornoff. Living her youth in
Logan she fell in love with Todd G. Weston. They married October 16, 1946. Their
marriage was solemnized in the Logan Utah LDS Temple. Their love and devotion brought
to Earth five wonderful children. Grandma Joyce's life could be described as a life with a
fierce loyalty and deep and everlasting love for her husband. She supported him in his
business ventures and his political endeavors locally and statewide. She took care of him as
he took care of her. Joyce and Todd loved their children and were pleased with their
accomplishments and deeply and emotionally involved in the trials that came from time to
time. Joyce is known throughout Cache Valley for her love of music and her incredible
talent playing the piano-she mastered it. She taught hundreds of students including
students from Utah State University while she was associated there with the Music
Department. Many times she expressed her desire to play for anyone at any time. Joyce
served faithfully in all she was called to do, serving in particular for many years in the Relief
Society including a time as President. She accompanied the ward choir for what seemed like
decades.
Joyce Weston is one of those people who make you feel like your life is better just by
knowing her. Her smile and laughter were contagious. When one thinks back on her life she
can truthfully be described with these words; loving, without guile, innocent, desirous to do
good, unwilling to do wrong, giving but also appreciative to receive, thrifty and as she would
say sometimes Scotch. She could not stand to throwaway anything especially wrapping
paper on her presents. Grandma was always happy to see us. Gathering her family at
Christmas seemed to be her favorite time during the year and she could make it seem to last
until Valentine's Day. -When you went to Grandma's house you could never eat enough.
She always wanted to give more. This was symbolic of her life as she served and lifted many
people for many years. Her tired and worn body finally gave up, but her tremendous Spirit
and incredible love will never fatigue in the hearts and minds of her family and all those who
knew her.
Grandma Joyce was preceded in death by her husband Todd G. Weston, her parents and her
little baby sister Carol who was born on Christmas Eve and died at the age of four. She
leaves her children and their spouses, Bart and Judy Weston, Randy and Debi Weston, Joyce
and Greg Oman, Julie and Jim Ridd and Sam and Judy Weston. Joyce and Todd enjoyed 18
grandchildren from these unions. These grandchildren have given Joyce 24 great -
grandchildren with at least 4 more coming in the near future. Joyce is survived by her
brother Louis Fornoff and his wife Shirley. The family is grateful for all those who have
cared for Grandma Joyce these past 3 years, especially the staff at Legacy House in Logan.
