"And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things
"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail
"But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him" - Moroni 7:45-47
Jessie Jane Gibbons Brandenburg was born at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 5, 1925 at 416 East 600 South in Salt Lake City to Jesse Ernest Gibbons and Eleanor Jane Asay. She was "Jessie" to friends and "Jane" to family. The eldest of three children, Aunt Jane was very close to her brothers, Don and Norm.
Aunt Jane attended schools in Los Angeles, Castle Dale, and St. George, graduating from Dixie High School in 1943. She was a graduate of Dixie Junior College (now Dixie State University) and the University of Utah. Even though she went to the U. of U., Aunt Jane was a huge BYU fan. Go Cougars!
She married Ray Everett Brandenburg on Friday, November 27, 1953 in the St. George Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Harold S. Snow, who served as temple president from 1937-1963, performed the ceremony. Divorced in 1965, he preceded her in death on Monday, March 11, 1974. They had four children together: Diana Jane, Glen Ray, Brian K., and Teri Lyne. At the time of her death, she had fourteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Aunt Jane raised her family at 66 East 800 North in Orem. In 1972, she bought a house with her mother at 1218 East 640 South in Provo and lived there until 2009. She lived with her daughter in Starkville, Mississippi for a year, then moved to the Brigham Apartments in the Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake City, where she resided until her death.
From 1949 until her retirement in 1987, Aunt Jane worked for the State of Utah as a dietician. Most of her career was spent at the Utah State Hospital in Provo.
An active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she faithfully served in many callings throughout her life. While living in Provo, she was a member of the Slate Canyon Fourth Ward. At the time of her death, she was a member of the Salt Lake Eighteenth Ward.
After a period of ill health, Aunt Jane passed away at 1:01 a.m. on Thursday, December 12, 2013. She was eighty-eight years, three months, and seven days old.
Looking back, I have so many great memories of Aunt Jane. Visits to her house were the best - making ice cream on the front lawn, discussions about mystery #4,082 regarding our family history, fascinating stories about what it was like to grow up during the Great Depression, and so much more!
Another thing that sticks out in my mind about Aunt Jane was her love of the holidays. She always managed to make it special. St. Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and mincemeat pie will never be the same. I'm also really going to miss her birthday cards (she always knew exactly what to say) and our phone conversations — she loved, loved to talk!
One of the most loving, caring, compassionate, non-judgemental, optimistic people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, she was a great example to us all. Rest in peace, Aunt Jane.
Funeral services were held on Monday, December 16, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. in the Salt Lake Ensign Stake Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located at 135 North A Street (200 East) in Salt Lake City.
