Jone L. Orphanakis
Together Again
Our precious mom passed away in her sleep with our dad’s loving arms reaching down from heaven to embrace her once again. She waited graciously and patiently for 11 1/2 years for her most glorious reunion with her adoring “Mikey.”
Her dedication and love for her family never wavered even until the very end. She always helped us to understand what was right, just and fair. She was a woman of impeccable integrity. We will miss her advice and wisdom. She was a matriarch in the truest sense.
Jone was born on November 4, 1940 in Hiawatha, Utah to Dorotha Leonard and Maxwell Webster Littlejohn. After high school, she moved to Salt Lake City where she met our dad, Mike Chris Orphanakis. They were married on June 21, 1962. They have two daughters, Stephanie and Michele and, in her expert opinion, the four most beautiful grandchildren in the world. She always glowed with happiness in their presence.
