Afton Weston G. Jensen

Afton was born October 23, 1932 in Ogden, Utah to Alfred Joseph Weston and Ina Jemima Crittenden. She returned to her Heavenly Home February 6, 2021 from her home in Centerville. She grew up in Roy and graduated from Weber High. After a few jobs, she worked for Salt Lake Hardware, where she met Vernon Junior Graham. They married June 6, 1952 and later divorced. She married Edward Quinn Jensen April 18, 1981 in the Salt Lake Temple. She said of him, “he was a good, good man! He adored his family and they adored him”.

Afton was known for her acceptance, love, service, volunteer work, knowledge of plants and dedication to a beautiful yard. Family was always a priority and she made time for everyone. She enjoyed life as is evident by her interests: gardening, painting, camping, fishing, hunting, genealogy, reading, and sewing-she could tailor anything. She loved the temple, music, humming birds, spring, pinochle, popcorn, and puzzles. She liked sports and competed on a county softball team. Afton had an enviable friendship with her sisters, Helen and Ina Marie.

She served in many callings for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including ordinance worker and a mission with Quinn in the California, Arcadia mission, 1983-1984.

She is survived by her children Shelley Graham Brown and Vernon Weston Graham (Gaylyn) grandchildren Jessica, Nerissa, Cody (Maegan), Ryan, Weston, and Katerina, 12 great-grandchildren, 8 great great-grandchildren, and children Geoffrey (Linda), Philip (Kathy), Reed Riding, Sally Merryweather (Alan) and their posterity, and her sisters Helen Layton and Ina Marie Gold.

Preceded in death by her parents, husbands, brother Wayne C. Weston, daughter Nancy Riding, and grandsons Wyatt G. Graham and David B. Haslam.

Special thanks to the Rocky Mountain Care team.
