Debbie Ann Hone, age 74, passed away peacefully on November 21, 2025, in Payson, Utah. She was born on March 11, 1951, in Genola, Utah, to Delbert and Winona Jensen.
Debbie married the love of her life, Roland Dale Hone, on March 10, 1992. Their marriage was later sealed in the temple on February 21, 2002, a moment that brought her great joy and spiritual fulfillment.
Debbie’s life was filled with vibrancy, creativity, and a deep love for music and dancing. She carried a unique sense of style that made her unmistakably her own—bold, expressive, and joyful. Above all else, Debbie cherished her family. She is survived by The father of her children - Ernest Ray Darling, her 4 children - Lorie Earl, Shawn Darling, Michelle LaSalle, Dale Darling, and her 3 stepchildren - Arthur Hone, Christopher (Kimberly) Hone, and Stacie (Mark) Kovatch, as well as many beloved grandchildren, great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews who brought light and pride to her life.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Delbert and Winona Jensen, her husband Roland Dale Hone, Janet and Allen Carter along with Dee Ray Jensen, Alfred Hone, Bobby Hone, and Benjamin Hone. Debbie is now reunited with loved ones who passed before her, and her family takes comfort in knowing she is at peace.
