      Our lovely mother, Aleda Mae Duncan Weston Watson, age 95, passed awa y o n May 11, 2011 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

      Born April 22, 1916, the second of nine children, to Jessie Ann Barkdu l l and James Alonzo Duncan in Meadow, Millard County, Utah.

      Married Alfred Kenneth Weston on April 14, 1937 in Milford, Utah. Ken di e d December 24, 1949. Married Henry James (Jay) Watson on March 11, 196 0 i n Reno, Nevada. Their marriage was solemnized in the Bountiful, Uta h Tem p le on September 11, 1999. Jay died March 16, 1989.

      Mother is an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Say S a ints and served as a Visiting Teaching Supervisor at the time of her pa ss ing. She was an active member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Pr inc eton Camp and found great pleasure learning about the early pioneer h isto ry.

      In 1942, she was employed by the historic Hotel Utah. She made many frie n ds at the 10th floor Sky Room, which offered dining and dancing and the n , as Coordinator of Room Service. She received special recognition fo r h e r many years with the hotel. The hotel was leased for a time by th e Wes tin Hotel chain.

      Shortly after mother retired, she was called back to work as the Coordin a tor of Room Service for the Westin Company, until the hotel closed in 1 98 7. This grand building was built in 1911. It is 100 years old this yea r , and is now known as the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Mother has en jo yed many lovely occasions with her family there.

      Mother enjoyed sharing her lovely home and beautiful yard with family a n d friends. Her front porch and back yard were favorite gathering place s f or visits and parties with family and wonderful friends.

      Mother had many talents and was gifted at tailoring, needlepoint, croche t ing, and embroidery, which added beauty to her home as well as those o f f amily and friends. Her children and grandchildren are recipients of b eaut iful, handmade quilts.

      She found great joy in creating beautiful flower gardens, as well as won d erful vegetable gardens from which she lovingly shared bouquets and del ic ious vegetables with family and friends. She also enjoyed antiques an d ha d an eye for lovely pieces.

      Our mother's greatest joy was found in being with her family. Her 24t h o f July picnics were favorite events for all of us. She has blessed ou r li ves in so many special ways. We look forward to being with her again .
