Nancy Mae Hopkins

Nancy Mae (Myers) Hopkins, 92, of Kaysville, Utah, passed away January 18, 2025 at her home in Kaysville. Nancy was the third child of Walter Lorain Myers and Elizabeth Jean (Myers) Myers. She was born in her home in Snug Harbor, Wintersville, Ohio and was delivered by her father. Her parents and two older brothers, Walter L. Myers Jr. and J Alan Myers preceded her in death.

 Nancy attended Bethany College in Bethany, West Virginia where she earned a BA in Education, but was never actually employed as an elementary school teacher. Instead she employed the skills learned to earn her degree in skillfully raising her five children; Kim Kay (Hopkins) Griesemer, Terri Lee (Hopkins) Clawson, Christopher Edward Hopkins, Patrick Sean Hopkins, and Jennifer Susan (Hopkins) Asplund, all currently living.

 While attending college, she met and married John Edward Hopkins, Ph.D., also an education major. They were married in Wellsburg, West Virginia on April 10, 1952 and lived happily ever after.

 She was a vibrant member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served diligently in a number of positions, including; Founder and Director, Doylestown Family History Center; Ward and Stake Relief Society President; Ward and Stake Young Women’s President; Senior Missionary (Mongolia and Hong Kong); and Philadelphia Temple Ordinance Worker.

 Her personal interests were many and varied, although family history was her first and foremost interest in that she personally researched literally thousands of her ancestors and wrote extensive histories of their lives and passage through time. While her church responsibilities and family history consumed much of her time and considerable leadership talent, she made time to develop her skills in personal hobbies such as quilting, cross stitching, stained glass, pottery, and writing, having published several books and articles.

 She is survived by her loving husband, children, numerous grandchildren and too many great-grandchildren to count.

 Funeral services will be conducted on Monday January 27, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at the Mountain Shadows Ward of the Kaysville Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 615 N. Flint Street, Kaysville, Utah. Family and friends may visit Monday from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. at the church prior to the services.

 Interment will be held at the Kaysville City Cemetery, Kaysville, Utah.

 Nancy’s funeral service will be live streamed so that friends in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, where she lived for 43 years may be able to watch by scrolling to the bottom of her obituary page at www.lindquistmortuary.com

 In lieu of flowers, well-wishers are encouraged to provide donations to the Humanitarian Services Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, under whose auspices she served her senior missions in Mongolia and Hong Kong and which conducts innumerable good deeds constantly around the world.

 The family extends their thanks and appreciation to the beautiful members of the Mountain Shadows Ward who have been faultless in their love and support of Nancy and her family during her gradual decline over several years. They have followed the Savior’s example.
