Life & Legacy
Myrna Jean Haycock Houghton
March 30, 1939 — January 31, 2025
Grantsville
Myrna Jean Haycock Houghton, born on March 30, 1939, in Nephi, Utah, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love and devotion that will forever echo in the hearts of those who knew her. She was the cherished daughter of Alma and Doris Haycock.
Myrna shared a deep and enduring bond with her late husband, Robert Houghton. Together, they built a home filled with warmth and care, raising eight children: Mark (Melanie) Houghton, Kathy (Jim) Clay, Leon Houghton, Ray (Cheryl) Houghton, Gary (Kristi) Houghton, Steven (Laura) Houghton, Doris Ann, and Jean (Michan) Marlar. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her daughter Doris Ann, and her granddaughters, Shannon Noel Houghton and Angelica Mae Andreasen. The thought of their reunion brings solace to her family.
Her nurturing spirit extended to 27 grandchildren and blossomed further with 50 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. Each generation carries forward the love she so generously gave.
As a sister, Myrna shared an unbreakable bond with Dianna Kendall Healey, Phyllis Parkin, and Carole Brough. Their connection brought mutual support and affection that enriched their lives.
Throughout her life, Myrna exemplified kindness and resilience. Her unwavering commitment to her family served as an anchor for all who knew her. Through quiet acts of service and moments spent creating lasting memories, she left an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to be part of her life.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Rocky Mountain Care for their compassionate care during Myrna's final weeks, a gesture that brought comfort during a tender time. Jayce RN, Heather RN, Tammy RN, Kim, RN, Veronica, Jazmin, Lilli, Raylee, Sara RN, Jade, Carol, Kinga, and Erica - we appreciate your loving care of our mom. Also, a special thanks to Didericksen Memorial.
The family wishes to thank their brother Leon for the loving care of their mother in her last days.
May Myrna Jean Houghton rest in eternal peace alongside her beloved husband, Robert; her daughter, Doris Ann; and her granddaughters, Shannon Noel Houghton and Angelica Mae Andreasen. Her memory will forever be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Funeral Services will be held Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. with a viewing from 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. at the LDS Church Building located at 550 E. Durfee Street, Grantsville Utah.

Oh mom, I am so very lost without you. And it's just beginning. I can only imagine the amazing reunion you had with Dad and Doris Ann and so many others. We are going to miss you so much. Thank you my sweet mother for loving me unconditionally.

Oh, Myrna, you were the best Mother-in-law. Your love for my boys Jeremy and Devan was unconditional, I never heard a negative complaint at any time that I knew you. I was so excited to see you at Jeremy and Sierra's wedding. I have fond memories, especially this one time, we were talking about that touch lamp that you had and you said that it takes more than a touch to turn you on. Oh boy, you (smiles) You were a light that helped me through many rough times. I remember picking Jeremy up from your Sandy house and when Jeremy saw that rainbow and asked for a shopping bag so he could catch a rainbow (skittles) we both laughed. Your laugh was the best. You are missed. I love you so much! RIP Mom
