Nolleen Ann (Evans) Heaton 1943 - 2022
Nolleen Ann (Evans) Heaton, 79, passed away on October 5th, 2022 at her home in Hurricane, Utah in the company of her beloved husband. Our sweet Wife, Momma and Grammy has gone to meet her Father In Heaven and to be reunited with her parents, grandparents and one child; Shelly Lynne Thompson.
Nolleen was born on February 20th, 1943 to William Noel Evans and Donna Mae (Smirl) Evans at the Thomas Dee Hospital in Ogden City, Utah. She was reared and educated in both Ogden City and Taylor, Utah and attended Washington Elementary, West Weber Elementary, Walquist Jr. High and graduated from Weber High School.
She married Richard Hyrum Thompson in 1960. This marriage resulted in three beautiful children and the couple later divorced.
She married her eternal companion Paul Webb Heaton on May 13, 1983 in St. George, Utah. The marriage was solemnized a year later in the St. George, Utah Temple. With this marriage came three more beautiful children, which she took under her wing and raised as if they were her own.
She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served in many callings including the Young Women’s, Primary, Sunday School, Relief Society organizations and Ward Choir.
She was a ballet dancer and instructor and was an excellent seamstress, sewing many of the costumes for her students to perform full length ballets. She loved to sing and played the harp. She was a good friend and strove to love all she came in contact with. She had an entrepreneurial spirit and together with her husband owned and operated the Jordanelle Reception Center, where they provided wedding reception and banquet services for newlyweds and various other groups. She was also a make-over consultant and worked at an antique store. She loved children and joyfully operated a daycare in her home for many years.
She loved the outdoors and was active in fishing, camping and hunting in her early years and loved to travel, go on scenic rides and appreciated God’s creations; both in living creatures and in the wonders of His landscapes.
