Loreen Williams Obituary

Loreen Daley Williams 1/31/1957 ~ 2/11/2009 Loreen Daley Williams - On February 11, 2009, Loreen Daley Williams, while surrounded by her loving family, peacefully returned to her heavenly home and family. After many years of battling with and surviving Scleroderma and Dermatomyositis she finally succumbed to the ravages of ALS - Lou Gehrig's disease. Loreen entered this life on January 31, 1957, in Payson, Utah. The fourth child of Orin D. Daley and Margaret Cope, she graduated from Payson High School in 1975 and attended the Utah Technical College where she studied to be a Dental Assistant. Loreen married and was sealed to Jeffrey C. Williams on December 8, 1978 in the Salt Lake Temple. A member of the LDS Church, Loreen faithfully served in various callings throughout her life. Loreen worked for Craghead Plumbing where she gained a knowledge of plumbing that she would never forget and would forever share. Thereafter she worked for First Security Bank and Wells Fargo for over 28 years, spending most of that time at the Fourth South branch and many of those years in Safe Deposit. Loreen is survived by her sweetheart Jeffrey, their three children: Jamie (Adam) Jeter, Magna; Jeffrey (Kim) Williams, Stansbury Park; Jesse, Magna; grandchildren: Jaren and Madison Jeter and Riley Williams; mother: Margaret; and siblings: Michael (Debra) Daley, Kathleen (Remon) Campbell, Daniel (Tana) Daley, Cheryl (Dee) Orr, Gordon (Eileen) Daley, Arthur (Cecile) Daley, Margie (Lori) Daley, Jeniel (Brent) Kimball, Angela (Kerry) Acocks, and Aaron (Lesley) Daley. She was preceded in death by her father Orin. Funeral services for Loreen will be held Saturday, February 14, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. at the Spencer 6th Ward, 8181 West Breeze Drive, Magna, Utah. Family and friends may call Friday evening from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at Garner Funeral Home, 1001 11th Avenue, Salt Lake City, and at an additional viewing at the church on Saturday morning from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. prior to services. Interment will take place at the Mt. Olivet Cemetery, 1342 East 500 South, Salt Lake. The family offers many special thanks to friends, neighbors, Ward and Stake family members and Bishop Jeremy Blair. A very special thank you to Dr. Kevin C. Shilling for his kindness and loving concern in caring for Loreen. A HUGE thank you to Sunny Bryson and Lesley Boehme and all of the people from IHC Hospice for their love and support.

Loreen was one of my favorite people in the whole world. She just had such an incredible ability to make people smile and feel good and she always wanted to do things for others. She had a great sense of humor and was such a good wife and mother and gone way too soon

Just to let you know what an inpiration Loreen was to us. She endured this life with love and enthusiasm. She was a wonderful example to all of us. She will be greatly missed. I don't think I ever heard her complain about anything. Love you all!!

Jeff and Family:
I have sat down to write in this guest book many times, but it has been too hard to think about. I've even tried a few times tonight, and it somehow didn't come through to the book.

I just wanted to write about my sister Loreen and let you all know how much she meant to me in my life. As I look back over my life, she was almost like a second mother. She took care of me just as my mom does. She took time off work to help me with my wedding, as mom was in the hospital. She and Jeff would stay up late many times helping me with a myriad of things, even moving. I remember all the times I spent with Loreen and Jeff through Junior High and High School - watching your children, going to Lagoon, and all of the many many things that we did together. She was always there for me during heartaches and joy, anytime I needed someone I knew that I could always go to Loreen for anything. She has been there for me helping with my massage business and talking me up to everyone and anyone who would listen to her. I feel as mom does, that Loreen has taken a part of me with her. I miss my Lolo so much and appreciate all that she and Jeff did and still do for me throughout my life, and now for my family. Loreen and Jeff would always have to get special things for my baby Amelia too. I will always make sure that Amelia knows her aunt Loreen.

I hope that in the hard times ahead that you can feel the peace in knowing that even though we miss Loreen so much, at least she is out of the pain that she had all of her life. She is able to do so many things now, that she couldn't in this life.

I love you all,
Angie

Jeff and Family:
I have many times sat down to write something on this guest book, but it has been too painful and hard for me to do. As I look back over my life Loreen has always been almost like a second mother to me. She has cared for me and taken care of me just as mom does. Both Loreen and Jeff have always been there for me in my times of heartache or joy. I've always known that if I need someone Loreen and Jeff would always be there for me. I remember when I got married, and mom was in the hospital - Loreen took time off from work to take me shopping and helped me in getting my wedding organized and taken care of. When I would move, I remember sometimes that Loreen and Jeff were there until early the next morning(or even late the next morning) helping me get everything packed up and ready for the move. I have so many fond memories of being with Loreen and Jeff (it's so hard to think of one of you without the other) doing so many things together. Loreen has always spoiled me and done so much for me - I feel like mom does, when she said that she feels a part of her is missing without Loreen. I know that as she had so much pain and hard times in this life, she is out of pain and can do so many other things that she couldn't do in this life. I miss my Lolo and love her so much. I hope that you can have peace in all the hard times when missing Loreen becomes too much. If I can help with anything, please ask - I would love to be able to give back, even if it's just a portion of what Loreen and Jeff have given to me in my life.

I love you all

Angie

Jeff and family,
Loreen was and is a great sister. I can remember her always being there for me protecting her younger brother. She would always stick up for me when the neighborhood kids would pick on me, the little runt. If they could only see me now. Loreen played an important role in helping me get the nerve to ask Cecile out on a second date. I asked her if I could go to lunch with her at the bank, hoping that I would see Cecile. It worked. I think she knows that I used her, yet did not say a thing. She always made me and my family feel welcome at any family activity. I miss Loreen, yet we will see each other again, that I know.

We love you and keep you in our prayers
- Art, Cecile and the boys.

Jeff and family,
We had such fun times while you and Loreen and Dee and I were dating. I feel like I've missed out on a lot after moving away. But I always loved coming down and watching the kids grow up and visiting and catching up. I wish we could have done more, I always thought there would be time in our "golden years", but that is not meant to be. I have a hard time thinking about Loreen without wiping my eyes. Even now as I think about coming to Utah I catch myself picturing you and Loreen there to see. I still remembering her coming up to see me when I had Ben and she took such loving care of Derek, and I remember coming down when Jamie was a baby and babysitting her while you went to work. It's times like those that I will miss but always remember. Loreen was such a special part of my life as I was growing up, she was the big sister that I always went to when I wanted to share something, happy or sad. I will miss her terribly, even though we didn't get to see or talk as often as we should have. I can only imagine how much you miss her. My heart goes out to you in this time of need, my prayers are with you always.

Love,
Cheryl

Jeff, Jamie, Jeffrey and Jesse (and Families),
I want you to know that not a day goes by that I don't want to pick up the phone and call my dear sweet sister Lolo. I drive by her resting place on my way to work every day, and if I think about her at the same time, I go into work with wet eyes. I hope that you will truly remember your mom for the wonderful, kind, loving and generous woman that she is. She put her family first in everything she did. I want you kids to know how wonderful and sweet it was to watch your dad take such loving care of his wife in her last few months. I know how hard it was, especially with a bad back, yet Jeff did it with love and patience. I haven't even told Jeff how impressed I was with him. It was truly a special sight to see how much love Jeff has for Loreen, and he showed it in his actions as well.
Our family misses Loreen greatly. She has a very special place in Lori's and Brenden's hearts as well. Loreen always knew how to make someone feel welcome, and she did just that in welcoming my family into the Daley family. And, we all felt very welcome in the Williams family. May God bless you in your times of need, and wrap his loving arms around you when you need to be comforted.

We love you,
Margie, Lori and Brenden

Dear Jeff & Family,
I find myself thinking I need to call Loreen and then I catch myself. Talking with Loreen was a highlight of my day. I think a part of me went with her. She has left a huge gap in my life. Knowing that she is free from pain and is able to move and be happy gives me comfort and solace. Loreen is such a sweet, kind daughter and I always appreciated her thoughtfulness.
I am proud that all of you are a part of my family. What would we do without family? I love you all and wish you peace and comfort always.
Love,
Mom Daley

I miss Loreen! Even though I didn't talk to Loreen every day or every week for that matter, I miss the thought of not being able to pick up the phone and give her a call. I am so glad that I was able to have Loreen a part of my life and I'm so glad that I know I will see her again!
Please know that I love all of you and if there is every ANYTHING that I can do for you please call!
Love,
Neely

Jeff & Family, Loreen's Family:
I am still having a hard time believing Loreen is gone myself - yet my faith gives us the peace to know she is truly happy now. Our sadness is of course because we miss her presence around us. But I KNOW "families are forever" and what a glorious day when you reunite. I have the BEST memories of Loreen and will always have them. Immediately my thoughts of her bring to mind two words: Kindness and Sweetness - because she was so much both of those things. I still treasure the beautiful quilt she made me one year when I could not get home for Christmas to my own family. I truly thought the world of Loreen. I think of the words to a favorite song ... "You're not alone, even though right now you're on your own, you are loved in ways that can't be shown - your needs are known - you're not alone. May our Heavenly Father wrap his arms around all of you right now and give you the comfort and peace you need.

We don't need to tell you that Loreen is now in a place where she no longer feels the pain she has experienced for so much of her too short life, but we are certain the love she felt throughout that life enveloped her as she left.

Although we are not there to personally express our deep caring feelings to you, just know that we will continue to send those feelings to you in our thoughts and if you look inside you will feel their warmth.
