Guinevere Timpson Obituary

1914 ~ 2012
Guinevere Woolley Timpson was born on January 20, 1914 in Ogden, Utah, and died on March 17, 2012, in Colorado City, Arizona. She was the daughter of Franklin Benjamin and Ellie Seegmiller Woolley, the youngest of their 12 children, all of whom she survived. Her early years were spent in Ogden, where she married John C. Cawley, who was tragically killed in an automobile accident in December, 1937. She married Alma Adelbert Timpson on April 25, 1944, leaving Ogden to live with him in Salt Lake City, Utah. During subsequent years, she operated the True Method Reducing business in Salt Lake. She has lived briefly in Los Angeles, California, Boise, Idaho, and Riverside, California, returning to Salt Lake City in 1956, where she resided until her move to Colorado City, Arizona by 1970.
Her life was marked distinctively by her loyalty to the priesthood authority she recognized as presiding over her, under whose guidance she performed ordinance work during most years of her long life for hundreds of young women. They and many others of her extended family and acquaintances came to love her as a wise counselor and dear friend.
She is survived by her two sons, Claude T. Cawley and John W. Timpson, and numerous grandsons and granddaughters.
Funeral services will be held at 12:00 noon in the chapel at Centennial Park, Arizona, on March 25, 2012, and a viewing open to the general public from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. March 24, as well as 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on the day of the funeral.
Arrangements are made under the care of Spilsbury Mortuary, (435) 673-2454. Friends and family may sign her guestbook at www.spilsburymortuary.com.

I had the pleasure of meeting Aunt Guinevere when I was a young girl, and came to know her even better after being married in 2007 and moving from Salt Lake City to Centennial Park. I didn't converse with her regularly, but when I did, it was always a good time. She was a wonderful lady.

I had the opportunity to attend Grandma's class when I first moved here from Salt Lake, it has and I am sure will continue to be such a blessing in my life. I will be forever grateful for the time this amazing woman put into the building up of those around her. Thank you Grandma Guinevere!

I know of the life she led. I've witnessed her fierce and unwavering loyalty that was so perfectly coupled with a genuine love of the truth. Through grace that I have yet to see be rivaled, femininity borne of an elegance seemingly divine, and a stark beauty that found a dwelling in the resonance of her earth-toned eyes, she walked this world.

Truth, knowledge and faithfulness were the virtues she acquired through a life rooted in integrity. Of her reward, I have no doubt. It is one fit for a queen and priestess, a handmaid of righteousness.

Aunt Guinevere was a wonderful example and guiding light to all women of what they should be. She touched our lives in ways we can't even begin to express. Our love and best wishes to her family and friends.

To all those who loved Grandma and the things she stood for....may your hearts be comforted in the knowledge that she has gone home to a glorious reward. We love you, Grandma!

Dear Great Aunt Guinevere, I'm sure you do not remember me but I am the great grand daughter of your sister Elba. Before Elba passed away she wrote a memoir of her life. I never got to see it. I hope you did and it is safe with the family of Colorado City. I hope you will be buried close to your sisters Mary and Elba. You were the last of the great line of Woolleys.
