Rolfe Jacob Jonson

It is finished, a job well done. Rolfe Jacob Jonson finished the last of his nine lives and long suffering on November 12th, 2008 at McKay Dee Hospital, Ogden, Utah.

Rolfe, who is known as Rollie to his family and friends, was born at Swedish Hospital in Seattle, Washington on February 12th 1936 to Jacob and Elva Sherk Jonson.

Rollie had a big heart, he loved his family, especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren. His whole countenance shone when they came to visit or peek through the glass door to see if he was there. Rollie had a love for rocks, genealogy, his pets Buff and Bunni, photography and the Rhino - not necessarily in that order. Rollie truly faced the trials of his life with a wonderful and patient attitude. He had a testimony of what could make you happy and he was never short of words to express his concerns and his understandings.

Rollie graduated from Roosevelt High School in Seattle, Washington. He attended the University of Washington and Brigham Young University. He served a French, Belgium mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and later a mission, with his wife, to MontrAC.al, Canada. He was as a Technical Annalist for the Boeing Company for over 30 years.

Rollie loved genealogy and completed several written and photo family histories for his ancestors.

Rollie is survived by his wife, Carol; his sister, Georgia Ann (Kent) Pugmire; six sons, Mike Jonson, David Jonson (Sandy), Mike Fowler (Jamie), Brad Fowler (Naomi), Steven Fowler (Peggy) and David Fowler (Julie); two daughters, Noel Jonson and Diane Kap (Keith); along with 24 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren. Each has felt his influence in their lives.

Rollie was preceded in death by his parents Jacob Jonson and Elva Sherk.
