Orem / St. George, Utah - Mary Agnes Visser Maughan, 92, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 8, 2017 in Orem, Utah. She was born April 13, 1925 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Henry and Maria Denos Visser. She married John Lowell Maughan June 28, 1945 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.

A child of the 20's, a teen of the 30's, and a young married of the 40's she formed lifelong habits of thrift, hard work, and service.

She worked in her father's bakery and attended secretarial school. After their marriage, she and Lowell farmed in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho before moving to the Rupert-Paul, Idaho area, where they farmed until Lowell retired. They then served in the Oregon Portland LDS Mission from 1985 to 1986. Upon returning, they moved to St. George, Utah where they served as St. George LDS Temple workers for 22 years and as Welfare Service missionaries at the LDS Cannery.

Mary was active in the LDS Church all her life. She served in many callings, including Relief Society president, teacher, cub scout leader, organist, and chorister. Most recently she served in the ward Relief Society presidency and was thrilled that she was still useful to the Lord at age 89. For many years she has enjoyed indexing records for Family Search. It was not uncommon for her to index 2000 names in a month. She excelled in homemaking skills and her door was always open with a meal and a bed for all visitors.
