Joyce Jones

Joyce Bonner Jones passed away peacefully from complications of dementia in the early hours of October 31, 2026.
Joyce was born in Heber City, Utah, in January 1948, the daughter of Lynn and Fay Bonner. She married her high school sweetheart, Jerald Niel Jones. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple and together had four children: Jennifer (Clark) Sweat, Jerry Lynn (Heidi) Jones, Jayne (Robert) Muir, and Jared (Natalie) Jones.
Joyce absolutely loved, adored, and cherished her 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She loved nature, family picnics up at Lake Creek, birds, ladybugs, and especially the view of Mount Timpanogos.
She was known for her integrity, for doing the job right, and for keeping her house remarkably clean and organized. She taught her family the importance of doing the best thing in the best way possible, and of being obedient and grateful for everything. She had an optimistic outlook that everything would turn out for the best—and it did.
Joyce had great faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and showed that love to her family, especially her grandchildren, by giving them her complete attention and interest whenever they visited. She loved reading to them and capturing their important life events and special occasions on film.
Special thanks to the Wasatch County Emergency Response personnel and the staff and nurses at the Covington Assisted Living Center in Heber.
The last chapter of her life was clouded by memory loss and dementia, but her life, love, and legacy will be unforgettable.
