Lou Jeane Peterson Grant

Lou Jeane Peterson Grant, loving Wife, Mother, Sister, Grandmother and Friend, passed away on the evening of August 17th, 2013, due to complications from Leukemia. We will miss her dearly!! We send our love heavenward, where she is reunited with loved ones who preceded her in death. Born on August 6, 1933 (in Utah), Lou Jeane lived a long and faithful life as a member of the LDS Church... 80 years to be exact. For 60 of those years, she was married to Richard G. Grant, from Southern California. They were married on December 23, 1953, in the LDS St. George Temple. Lou Jeane was a loving mother to six children. She is survived by 5 of those children; Doug (Anna), Karen, Craig, Kathryn, and Richard (Mary Anne)... along with her husband Richard and 10 Grandchildren; Logan, Shane, Robert, Adam, Melissa, Kamryn, Jadyn, Harrison, Kade and Hunter... as well as two sisters, Joy and Marian. Preceding her in death, was her son, David Glenn as well as her parents and two sisters. She had many loves in life. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren, sewing, reading, gardening and cooking. She is famous for her Sunday pot roast, which would cook for hours and be gone in minutes... as well as for her amazing whole wheat rolls and bread. She loved finding creative ways to add zucchini from her garden to many of her amazing dishes. She also loved to read good books including church publications and a myriad of classics and novels. First and foremost she loved the scriptures. Lou Jeane loved people!! Her active involvement in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints allowed her to make many, many dear friends. While she resided in California, several of those friends were actively involved in her day-to-day life. We thank them for their care and concern for her and her loving husband. California will always be the place she called “home” as it is where she raised her children and planted her roots years ago. She and her husband were amazing gardeners and always had an abundance of fruit and vegetables which they raised, harvested, enjoyed and also “put up” for future years. On their California property they maintained 18 fruit trees in addition to a large garden. Lou Jeane was a school teacher in her younger years, graduating with a major in English, from BYU. She had beautiful, immaculate handwriting and a talent for articulating her thoughts in letters to her scores of friends and family. She saved all of the letters and notes sent to her throughout her life, a testimony of her love for others. She also liked to clip and share important articles from the local paper with her children and grandchildren. The Gospel of Jesus Christ was the cornerstone to Lou Jeane’s life. She spoke of it’s truthfulness and taught her children it’s teachings. She will be remembered for her steadfast hold to Christ’s doctrine and her belief and love for Him. May she find peace and rest in His arms and comfort in knowing that she lived by His teachings. We will always love and miss you Lou Jeane! Until we meet again...
