Salt Lake City, Utah [6] |
- Rachel Ivins Wilson Mabey, a woman of spiritual courage and quiet love, died in Salt Lake City, October 29, 2004. She was 92.
Rachel was born January 31, 1912, in Colonia Juarez, Mexico, to Guy C. Wilson and Anna Lowrie Ivins. She was the fourth of eight children. Her family fled the Mormon Colonies when Rachel was six months old as a result of the Mexican Revolution. She was raised in Salt Lake City and graduated from LDS High School where her father was President. She received her bachelor's degree from the University of Utah.
At the University, Rachel met Rendell N. Mabey. They were married December 24, 1933, in the Salt Lake Temple by Rachel's grandfather Anthony W. Ivins. After 57 years of marriage, Ren died four years ago.
Rachel and Ren are the parents of six children, all of whom survive except John Ivins: Rendell N. Jr. (Dorothy), Richard Ivins, Jane Afton, Ralph Rampton (Sylvia), and Thomas Charles (Shauna). They have 12 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
Rachel's sisters Marguerite Wilson, Florence Anderson, and Antoinette Daynes preceded her in death. Her twin sister Rebecca Hodge, her sister Ruth Wilson and her brother Grant Wilson survive her.
Rachel was a poet, a Scrabble competitor, and possessor of a wry humor. She was also the quiet conscience and unshakeable support of her husband through his public life of business, political and church service. She was ever the loving, and prayerful mother, never complaining to anyone, even in her final decline, always eager to be with or hear from her children.
A sweet-natured, rock-solid pioneer, she served as ward Young Women and Relief Society president, served missions with her husband in Switzerland (1965-68) and West Africa (1978-79), participated in the organization of branches of the church in Kuwait and Baghdad, the strengthening of branches in Beirut, Kabul and Poland, the re-institution of missionary work in Italy, and the commencement of that work in Ghana and Nigeria. Typically, on June 17, 1979, on the Ndiya River in Nigeria where she quietly recorded the baptisms of 121 souls through rain, sun and swarming insects, her diary speaks simply of "an exhilarating, trying day."
At the time of her death, Rachel had an apartment at Brighton Gardens. She and her family were blessed by the kindly care extended by the Brighton Gardens and Vista Care staffs.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, November 2, 2004, at 11 a.m. at the Salt Lake 12th Ward Building, 630 East 100 South, Salt Lake City. Friends may call Monday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South Temple St., Salt Lake City, and on Tuesday morning from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. at the 12th Ward Building.
