Myrna Jean Jardine

Myrna Jean Brimley Jardine passed away Sunday,  Feb. 12, 2023, in Logan, Utah at the age of 86. Myrna was born Nov. 3, 1936, to Leonard and Annie Jean Brimley in Salt Lake City, Utah. She graduated from South High School in 1955 and then attended the University of Utah.  Myrna married Robert (Bob) Jardine in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on May 15, 1959. Together they welcomed 9 children into their home.  They lived in Holladay and Heber (Center Creek), Utah and moved to Grace (Thatcher and Niter), Idaho in 1979, where they lived for 35 years. She spent her final years in Hyrum, Utah.  

Myrna was a loved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.  She was an avid reader, and her children have fond memories of her reading to them each night and on road trips.  She was a listening ear to friends and family and was always interested in their lives.

Myrna was well known for her wonderful cooking and baking, her favorites being brownies and cinnamon rolls. She loved indexing names for family history and serving in callings in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  As a talented seamstress she enjoyed sewing many dresses, Christmas pajamas, and baby blankets to gift or donate, some even recently.  She played the piano and loved music.  Other loves included gardening, card games, clearance racks, roller coasters and finding or making the perfect gift.  

She was preceded in death by her husband Bob, her Sister Elaine Dabb and her brothers Kirk, Tommy, and Paul.  She is survived by her sister Sharon (Tom) Ockey, her brother Wayne (Jean) Brimley, and her 9 children: Annette (Scott) Elsmore, Kevin (Christi), Kirk (Amy), Keith (Joleen), Kory (Jilane), Andrea (Tim) Nielsen, Amy (Ryan) Knight, Alyse (Tyson) Smith and Annie (Mark) Stevenson, along with her 36 grandchildren, and 50 great grandchildren with an additional 2 on the way. A viewing will be held from 9:00-10:30 am with funeral services at 11:00 am, on Saturday, Feb. 18 at the LDS church building located at 200 E. 600 S., Hyrum, Utah.  Interment will be in the Lago Cemetery in Grace, Idaho.
