INEZ MARY REEVE THOMAS

PRESTON – Inez Mary Reeve Thomas, 91, former Honeyville, Utah, resident, passed away Saturday, March 26, 2005, at the Franklin County Nursing Home in Preston.

She was born the third of five children to Albert George Reeve Jr., and Abigail Beatrice Cullen at Bear River City, Utah, on Aug. 22, 1913. She grew up in the Bear River City area and graduated from Brigham City High School in 1931.

She married John Harold Thomas on Nov. 25, 1932. They lived in Tremonton, Brigham City, Calif., and Honeyville. They were the parents of four children.

Inez had several different occupations, including 10 years with the Defense Depot in Ogden, and as a seamstress for American Sportswear in Brigham City for 10 years.

She loved to cook, do ceramics and crocheting. Her favorite pastime was to quilt – she had many, many quilts and donated them to several individuals and organizations. She gave each of her grandchildren a homemade quilt.

She served for 17 years as the quilting chairman for the Honeyville Ward Relief Society. She and Huck spent many hours fishing on reservoirs throughout Idaho and Utah.

Huck passed away in 1990, and in 1996, Inez sold her home and moved to Preston to be closer to her daughter.

While in Preston, she served on the board of the Franklin County Senior Citizens, and she enjoyed many hours quilting with the Pink Ladies. She was an active member of the Daughter of Utah Pioneers and a member of the Sacagawea Camp.
