Helen Worthington
1923-2006
Helen Karren Winter Worthington, age 82, peacefully
returned to the arms of her Heavenly Father on Tuesday July
4, 2006. Helen was born November 28, 1923 in Levan, Utah.
She was the youngest child of Christian Jens Winter and
Clara Otilia Paystrup Winter. Helen was baptized June 12,
1932 a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints. She attended the small town school and later Juab
High School and BYU. Helen married Murren Dean Worthington
June 1, 1945 in the Manti LDS Temple. This marriage was
celebrated on June 1, 2006 of 61 years.
Helen's example as a hard worker was prevalent
throughout her life, both in her church callings and
professional work. In her LDS church activity, she performed
in many callings including Primary chorister, Patriarch
scribe, Relief Society president and extraction worker for
temple names. Some of these callings she held for over 10
years. She worked at the County Welfare Services, First
Security Bank in Nephi until her retirement.
Helen's talents included her love of playing the
piano; singing in the ward choir, and crocheting beautiful
afghans. She was an avid reader and uncommonly wise about
common things. She was admired and loved for her exemplary
strength. If there was one theme for her life it was that of
quiet service to friends, family, and strangers around her.
Helen loved her grandchildren and looked forward to holiday
celebrations to be with her family. Family picnics in the
canyon were always one of her favorites. She had a wonderful
gift of making each person she came in contact with feel
that they were a special person in her life.
Helen is survived by her devoted husband, Murren Dean
Worthington, in Nephi, Utah; one brother, Dennis Christian
Winter, who lives in Goodyear, Arizona, and one sister,
Virginia Johanna Winter Irons, who has been her constant
companion for the last two years at Heritage Hills.

Nevada, Bryce Worthington, Nephi, Utah, Scott (DeEtte)
Worthington, Nephi, Utah, and Suzie (Scott) Makin, American
Fork, Utah, Grandchildren: Steve Trimble, Amy Smith, Jason
