Cleo Hinckley dies at 111
Cleo Cranney Hinckley, 111, Utah's oldest resident, died Monday, Sept. 3 0 , 2002, in Salt Lake City, just 13 days shy of her 112th birthday.
She was born in Logan on Oct. 13, 1890, a few months before New York's E l lis Island opened as an emigration depot; just a few weeks after the L D S Church issued the Manifesto. She was 3 years old when the Salt Lake T em ple was dedicated and was 5 years old when Utah became a state. She wa s t he sixth child of Willard Duane Cranney, a pioneer who crossed the pl ain s to Utah at age 14 in 1862. Her mother, Hattie Woolf Cranney, died d urin g childbirth when Cleo was 6.
She is survived by six children, 39 grandchildren, 111 great-grandchildr e n and 10 great-great-grandchildren.
"My mother lived a very contented life," Harriet Eliason, a daughter fr o m Delta, said. "She always felt fulfilled . . . she was very devout an d d evoted, never complained and didn't fear death."
"She had really healthy habits," Gwen Church, Hinckley's granddaughter , t old the Associated Press. "And she never worried. She was just a rema rkab le little woman."
A graduate of West High School, she was the top business student there a n d excelled at shorthand.
In 1912, she was one the first two female missionaries for the LDS Chur c h to serve in Los Angeles. While on her mission, she helped many refuge e s from Mexico arrive in Los Angeles. In one of her primary classes, sh e h ad taught a young lad, Marion G. Romney, who later became a member o f th e First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint s (Mo rmon).
Mrs. Hinckley attended Utah Agricultural College in Logan and later beca m e secretary to the president of the college. She also later worked a s a s ecretary for several Salt Lake City businesses.
She married Parnell Hinckley on Sept. 19, 1919, shortly after his retu r n from World War I. Parnell is first cousin to LDS Church President Gor do n B. Hinckley. The young Hinckley family moved to Millard County wher e me mbers of his family had homesteaded farmland. They lost their farm d urin g the Great Depression, and the tough times took them to Beaver, the n t o Pine Point, Minn., where the Hinckleys worked as teachers on the Ch ippe wa Indian Reservation.
The family then returned to Salt Lake City in 1930 and bought the hous e w here they would live for the rest of their lives.
She had been employed briefly for the Works Projects Administration an d s erved on the Granite Stake Relief Society and Young Women's Mutual bo ards . She took care of her husband in the years preceding his death in 1 984 a t age 95.
A grandson, Lonnie Eliason, said she never learned to drive a car and w a s content to stay at home.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, Oct. 5, 1-2 p.m., between Gener a l Conference sessions, at the LDS Fairmont Ward, 2465 S. 800 East. Frie nd s may call from noon-1 p.m., before the services. There will be no Fri da y viewing. Burial will be in Elysian Gardens.
