The B7
Ward recently lost one of its favorite High Priests when DeVon Swensen Dennison
passed away on Sunday, December 22, 2013.
Born March 22, 1938 in Hinckley, Utah to Theodore A. and Edith Swensen
Dennison, he grew in stature and testimony before serving a fulltime mission to
Denmark. After his honorable release, he
met and married RaNae Jones in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple.
A graduate of Weber State College in Ogden, DeVon went on to earn a Masters degree in vocational counseling from UNLV, then lived and shared his education and work ethic throughout central Utah communities until 1975 when he and his family moved to St. George where he managed the Job Service office for more than twenty years. He loved serving in any and all ward callings, but was most happy doing missionary work and working in scouting, for which he was recognized for his years of service with the Silver Beaver award.
DeVon is survived by his wife, RaNae; and children Eric (Amy), Lisa (Daren) Cottam, Bruce (Kerry), David (Michelle), Kevin (Molly) and 21 grandchildren. He was preceded in death by two sons, Scott and Bradley.
