| Hannah Beth Monson Matthews |
|
Our Loving Sweet Mother Hannah Beth Monson Matthews passed away July 10th 2010, at the age of 82. Hannah was born June 8, 1928, to Ivan Bayard and Ruth May Monson in Pleasant Grove, Utah. She was raised with her older sister VerVene and younger brother LaMar who preceded her in death. Hannah lived in Manila all of her life and met many long-lasting faithful friends there. She talked often of the many fun times she had growing up and the fond memories of cousins and friends. She met Earl Wayne Matthews and married September 17, 1947, in the Salt Lake City Temple. They were blessed with 7 children. Earl passed away August 18, 1985.
Hannah worked in many capacities in the LDS Church and loved every calling she was called to. She especially enjoyed her work in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. She enjoyed working as a lunch lady and met wonderful women who became life-long friends. We will miss her fast wit, sense of humor and most of all her hugs, kisses, smiles and waves good-bye. She loved sending time up American Fork Canyon, breath-taking Mt. Timpanogos, Strawberry Days, bowling and playing tennis.
Hannah accomplished many talents and achievements in her life, but her lasting joy was her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
She is survived by David Matthews (Mona) American Fork; Gayle (Jeff) Ewell, Ferron; Joyce (Robert) Burr, Orem; Lynn Matthews (Geanie) Pleasant Grove; Boyd Matthews (Dwight Lindsay), Sandy; Jeanette (Joe) Warnick, Pleasant Grove; and Steven Matthews (deceased), 24 Grandchildren and 50 Great Grandchildren.
Also surviving Hannah are three sisters-in-law: LaRee Black, Betty Matthews and Sue Martin and 2 brothers-in-law: Glade Matthews and Dale Matthews and many loving nieces and nephews.
We as Hannah’s family would like to thank the staff at Golden Living for taking such good care of our Mother. Also, thanks to the many friends and family that took the time to visit her. She truly loved and enjoyed each visit.
“Life isn’t days and years, it’s what you do with the time and with all the goodness and grace that’s inside you. Make a beautiful life….The kind of life you deserve…..”
Funeral services will be held Thursday, July 15, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. in the Mt. Mahogany LDS Chapel, 1542 North 1300 West, Pleasant Grove.

To: Dave,Gayle,Joyce,Lynn,Boyd,Jennette,their spouses,and families, Dear Cousins, I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I was in Blanding and didn't hear until Monday evening. I'm so sorry to have missed your call, Dave. As a child, I had so many fun times with your family and treasure the times with your mom having to put up with our laughing and giggling so late at night,running in and out of the house to the barn, riding horses, playing with the neighbor kids, coming over every night or two for more milk. We were so excited to come over each deerhunt to see the deer your dad got while hunting!! She was always so ready to give everyone a hug and her love. I loved spending time visiting at her home on Thanksgiving and Christmas, eating the wonderful food she had prepared. I was always proud to say Uncle Earl and Aunt Hannah were my relatives as I began teaching school at Pleasant Grove High and they were working in the district,too. As a matter of fact, think they were the ones that first told me about the job opening at PGHS. Many times people would ask me if I was related to the Matthews' in Manilla, and I was glad to say they were my uncle, aunt and cousins. Thanks for the wonderful memories and for the wonderful life you lead Aunt Hannah, and teaching us all the principles of the gospel and doing the right things in this life. May you all have the sweet spirit of the Holy Ghost to comfort you at this hard time in your life. May you have joy and peace as a family as you work through this difficult but sweet blessing for your mother. May you have joy in knowing that your loving parents are now together again. All My Love, Teresa Matthews Griffin |

I became aquainted with Hannah over the last four month while visiting my mom at Golden Living. She thought I resembled her younger brother and told me so each time I was there. I will remember with fondness sitting on the couch listening to her gentle laugh as she told me stories and patted my hand. She was delightful. |

We express our most sincere condolences to all the matthews family at this difficult time how wonderful a mother, wife, grandmother, and friend was Hanna Beth and she will be missed. What a wonderful reunion on the other side it must be for your father Earl as he left this earth so early in life and the reuniting of both Hanna Beth and Earl would I hope be somewhat encouraging |
