Leon Edwin Marchbanks
1928 ~ 2010
Our beloved husband, father and grandfather Leon Edwin Marchbanks of Mapleton, Utah, passed away peacefully at his home on Monday November 15th, 2010, surrounded by his family.
Leon was born on October 19, 1928, in Mapleton, Utah, to Leo Marchbanks and Helen Carrick. Leon married his eternal sweetheart Vivian Inez Adams on the 13th of August 1947, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They recently celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary.
He learned the value of hard work and service at an early age. He was a very hard worker and put his best efforts into the many jobs he had. He and Inez raised their family on a farm in North Orem where they taught their nine children the value of work and service. On many cold winter days you could find Leon on his tractor plowing snow for the neighbors. He also spent many hours working on the church farm with his children. They moved to Mapleton in 1978. Leon worked at Geneva Steel for 40 years. He also worked for BYU and the LDS Church. Leon had a great love for America and the values that our Constitution stands for.
Leon has always been active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His testimony and his love for the Savior are strong. He served many church callings including Elders Quorum President, Sunday School President and was a Temple worker in the Provo Temple.
He is survived by his loving wife, Inez and his 7 sons and 2 daughters. Hal Leon (Terry), Joseph Dan (Jill), Maelynn Barney (Bill), Gil Edwin, Kim Leo (Julie), Val Lee, Jon Joshua (Lonny), Julie Seegmiller (Jon) and Adam James (Lovette). He is also survived by his sister Nona Gillman (Dean) and a brother Terry Marchbanks (Lucille). He is survived by 36 grandchildren and 46 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his sisters, Vena, Shirley and his brothers, Reid and Alan.
The family would like to thank Susan & Sergio at Health Watch for their love & kind service to our Dad.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, November 22, 2010, at the Mapleton 8th Ward Chapel, 1215 North 1000 West, Mapleton, Utah.
