Lillian JoAn Melville Hailstone Obituary (1931

Lillian JoAn Hailstone passed peacefully from her earthly life on April 25, 2023 after 92 wonderful years. Lillian JoAn was born on January 27, 1931 to David LaMoyne and Jessie Pearl (Littledyke) Melville and grew up in Fillmore, Utah. She met her sweetheart Steve while attending school in Logan, Utah and they were married May 8, 1957 in the Salt Lake Temple. Together they raised 4 children: Suzanne, LuCynda, Alexander, and Christopher on the ski slopes and mountain ridges surrounding Provo as well as the sandy shores of Lake Powell. Lillian is best remembered for her unconditional, Christ-like love. She is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in various callings throughout her life, including many years as a temple worker in the Provo and Payson Temples. She was a very gifted storyteller and spent much of her time engaged in preserving her family history and genealogy. She found joy in being outside, keeping an immaculately groomed yard, and caring for her horses, dogs, and Koi pond. Lillian was blessed with 4 children, 16 grandchildren, and many wonderful great and great-great-grandchildren. We find comfort knowing that she was welcomed home by her beloved husband Steve, her parents, siblings, a grandson, friends, and others who have gone before her.
