LILLITH IONE WILLLIAMS JONES TUCK
Lillith Jones Tuck, 88, passed away Thursday, February 3, 2000, at her home in Brigham City, Utah from cancer.
Lillith was born November 25, 1911 in Malad, Idaho to Arthur T. and Nora Harrison Williams. She was the second of ten children. She married Lester T. Jones on August 30, 1930 in Malad, Idaho. While residing in the Malad area, Lillith lived a busy life as rancher’s wife, mother of five children, LDS church leader and teacher, admired homemaker and friend. In 1950 she moved with her husband and family to a ranch near Dillon, Montana. Here, she was active in the community as well as a dedicated church worker. She served and traveled as the stake Relief Society president for many years. Her husband, Lester, preceded her in death in 1974.
Lillith married Nolan J. Tuck on August 10, 1976 and moved to Brigham City, Utah. Together they served for six years in the Ogden LDS Temple. They lived a life devoted to each other and their large combined family. They enjoyed traveling the world and hardly ever missed a Braves game on T.V.
She is survived by her husband, Nolan J. Tuck, Brigham City; her children, Lorraine (Ray) Court, Sandy, Utah; Lester C. Jones, Kevin, Montana; Nora Lee (Richard) Hilton, Dillon, Montana; Dallas W. (Sandra) Jones, Utica, New York; Fern Kay (Allen) Hill, Sandy, Utah; daughter-in-law, Annie P.
