Margaret Alberta Brown Jorgensen 1927 ~ 2005 Margaret Alberta Brown Jorgensen, 78, passed away peacefully on Feb. 13, 2005 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was born on January 9, 1927 in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada to Hugh B. Brown and Zina Young Card. On August 16, 1946 she married Clinton Olsen Jorgensen in the Salt Lake Temple. They were later divorced. Survived by her former husband, as well as three sisters, Zola Hodson, Mary Woodward, and Carol Sonntag, all of Provo, Utah; and one brother, Charles Manley Brown of St. George, Utah; also her four children: Margaret Ann Rankin, Salt Lake City; Carol Brown Cottam and Rula Mary Jorgensen, both of Long Beach, California; and David Clinton Jorgensen, Salt Lake City; as well as four grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Preceded in death by her parents, two sisters, Zina Brown and LaJune Hay, one brother, Hugh Card Brown. Margaret was life long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, having a love and a devotion to the Savior that was second to none. During a portion of her youth she lived in England while her father served as president of the British Mission. She later returned to England and was called on a full-time LDS mission there; her assigned companion, Edna Longbone, became a cherished, lifelong friend. She loved to write and composed numerous poems and essays, as well as humorous, lighthearted skits and plays for her ward and stake, which were always well-received. On several occasions she was also asked to participate in the performances and especially relished opportunities to play the villain, doing so with great gusto. Her sense of humor and infectious laugh were legendary among her family members, attributes which helped to carry her through many difficult times. Although she suffered many health problems throughout her life, she strived to impress upon her children the importance of being a good parent, and attributes a great deal of whatever success she had in this to her father, without whose unending patience and wisdom she might have fallen short of her goal. To say Margaret was a queen among women would be to grossly understate the true nobility and transcendent intelligence of her innately celestial soul, the many facets of which shone only more brilliantly in later years, even as her body dwindled. When in her presence, one surely stood on sacred ground. Funeral services will be held Saturday, February 19, 2005 at 12:00 noon at the Millcreek Stake Center, 4220 S. 420 E.
