Joni Call Obituary
1956 - 2025
- Joni Carlet Call passed away on Thursday March 13th at home surrounded by her girls after a courageous battle with Multiple Myeloma. Joni was born in Salt Lake City to her parents John and Afton Taylor on November 8th 1956. Joni graduated from Granite High School. Mom worked as "bean counter" for several years, but her favorite role was working with her "kids" at Woods Cross High School, whom she loved and adored greatly. Joni graduated (Retired) from Woods Cross High School June 2022. Her greatest calling in life was to simply be a mom. She was a mom to not only her daughters, but her family, friends, colleagues and students alike. She was everybody's Joni-Mom!
Joni married the love of her life Michael Barton Call in July 15 1978, and had 2 beautiful daughters, Joni Michell Marshall (Dustin) and Jenifer Ann Booth (Brent). She dedicated her life to her daughters - together they are Three Musketeers! She is survived by her kids, grand children Taylor (Megan), Jordan, Brycen, Kaycen, Hudsen and Harper and one great grand child Emma. She is preceded in death by her parents, her sister Sharon, her brother Terry, her late husband Michael, and many, aunts, uncles, cousins and puppies. The home coming must have been truly a celebration of the ages.
Our family would like to make a special thank you to Lindsay Beckstead (Jason), Dr. Manni Mohy-Ud-Din, Huntsman Cancer Institute, Natalie, Alaina and Stephanie with Huntsman at home, and other countless doctors and nurses who helped our mom over the last 3 years. The care and love each of these people gave our mother was invaluable. We couldn't have done any of this without them by our side.
A celebration of life will be held later this spring, details forthcoming. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Utah Humane society in her memory. XO's

Dear Joni and Jenifer, Your mom served with me in the Stake Primary Presidency. She was such a light to so many, especially me. I loved her laugh and smile. We'd lost touch for the past several years, but she will always have a place in my heart. The two of you were just little girls, but when we had Presidency meetings at your house you were both so cute and friendly. God bless you and your families at this difficult time. I would love to hear when you have the gathering later. Take care.
