Mary Newsome Obituary
1927 - 2019
Mary Beth England Newsome, 92, originally from Salt Lake City, UT, passed away peacefully on Monday July 15, 2019. She was born in Salt Lake City Utah on July 1, 1927 to Henrietta Ruff and Edward Delores England. She attended Lafayette Elementary, Horace Mann Jr. High and West High School in Salt Lake City, Utah. She married the love of her life, Paul I. Newsome in the Salt Lake Temple on June 16, 1947. She is dearly loved by her 3 daughters, Carol Sanford (Terry), Janet Call (Stanton), and Nancy Rodgers (David). She has 13 grandchildren, 43 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild. She was preceded in death by her brother, Heber Richard Cantrell and her husband, Paul I. Newsome.
She faithfully served many callings in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints which included a Bishop's Storehouse Mission (with husband Paul), Auxiliary Committee of the Brighton Girls Camp. She also enjoyed serving on the West High School Alumni Committee.
She was known for her ever-ready smile and her willingness to help any way she was needed.
Beth was a talented artist especially with her oil painting of nature scenes. She was an accomplished seamstress creating beautiful dresses for her daughters. She was also a wonderful cook. She maintained beautiful gardens of flowers and could usually name every flower she saw. She loved attending her grandchildren's performances and sporting events to cheer them on. Her family will remember all the holiday treat bags she so carefully and thoughtfully created. Our sincere thanks to Legacy Retirement of Mesa, Arizona for their tender and loving care of our mother. We are blessed to be her family.
Visitation on Monday morning August 5th from 9:30 - 10:45 a.m. at Larkin Mortuary, 260 E. South Temple, SLC UT with a family remembrance at the same location at 11:00. Beth will be interred at the Salt Lake Cemetery next to her beloved husband.
Thank you, mother for giving us the example of what it means to be an eternal family.

Beth and Paul lived in our Sandy neighborhood for many, many years! She was always such a positive and beautiful person. This was the neighborhood "Cookie Lady" to all the kids. I still remember my son telling me he was going over to the "Cookie Lady's house." He is now 32 years old and we still talk about what a sweet lady! We were all very sad when Paul passed suddenly and now we say a sweet goodbye to our Cookie Lady. We had many meaningful conversations. So sorry for your loss.

Dear Nancy,
We last saw your folks when we drove down together to "Curly" Swenson's funeral in Fairview, probably more than 20 years ago. We had a great visit and it was just so nice to spend time with them. Your Mom told us all about the Brighton Girls' camp and we also got to see their new home in Sandy. They had a big impact on our life, especially after Glen was called to be your Dad's counselor in the 17th North Ward bishopric. What a wonderful example they set for us.
Love, Mary and Glen Ungerman

To the Newsome Family,
From 1983 through 1988 I worked at Brighton Girls Camp with Beth and Paul. Paul was on the Maintenance Committee and Beth was on the Brighton Camp Committee. What a delightful couple, always so happy and willing to do whatever was needed for the Beehive campers who visited camp. Beth shared her creativity, her wonderful sense of humor and sweet laugh. I shall always remember them for their kind and compassionate ways.
I have missed seeing Beth these last few years and send my love to her family at this most difficult time.
Most sincerely,
Mimi Stewart (Apple)
