Jeanne Jewkes

Carol Jeanne Jewkes, loving mother and grandmother, returned home to be with her Heavenly Father on Saturday, November 7th, 2026. Jeanne was born on June 9th, 1941, in Salt Lake City, Utah. She graduated from Highland High School in 1959 and continued her education at the University of Utah where she received her degree in Elementary Education. While attending the university, Jeanne met the love of her life, Larry Fred Jewkes, at a church function. They married on August 14th, 1964, and were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. Jeanne had a rewarding career teaching for Granite School District at Vista Elementary, where she loved both her job and her students.

Jeanne was not only a mother to her own family, but to many neighborhood kids, cousins, or the occasional dog that walked by. She was an amazing cook, a talented piano player (who could play by ear), and loved to read. Jeanne enjoyed spending time together with her sister, loved going to Lake Powell, watching the Utah Jazz, playing cards with the neighbors, and all the friendships that she had made over the years throughout the neighborhood and the ward. Jeanne always made sure that her family was taken care of. Jeanne was an active member of the LDS Church, who truly cared for everyone that she met.

Jeanne is survived by her sons Morgan and Sterling, grandson Mason (Whitney), brother Larry Hardy, and sister Janice Ellis. Preceded in death by Larry F. Jewkes (husband), Matthew G. Jewkes (son), Harold & Virginia Hardy (parents), and Harold “Hal” Hardy (brother).
