Marguiet Marie \u201cMarge\u201d Scranton Quincy Jones was the daughter of Robert Gerald Scranton and Lura Elva Rowley. \u00a0She was born February 25, 1932 in Springcreek, Pike County, Illinois. \u00a0She enjoyed growing up on a farm milking cows, feeding chickens and pigs and riding her horse. \u00a0Her grandparents were a great influence in her young life. \u00a0Marge was a lifelong animal lover but she especially loved her dogs.<\/p>\n
Marge married Arnold Wayne Quincy on February 12, 1949. \u00a0They bought a home on three and a half acres on the outskirts of Barry, Illinois. \u00a0They are the parents of three boys, Gary and twin boys Richard and Raymond. \u00a0Wayne was killed in a tragic car accident on July 15, 1961.<\/p>\n
Marge decided to move to California in search of a place with greater opportunities for her to raise her three boys. \u00a0She bought a map, packed the car and drove to Orange County California. \u00a0Marge worked very hard to provide for her family. \u00a0There were times when she worked three jobs to keep things together. \u00a0She was introduced to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was baptized along with her boys on October 13, 1962. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Marge met Edward Jones in 1972, and they were married on June 26, 1973. \u00a0She and Ed lived in Southern California and built a business together. They moved to Santa Clara, Utah in 1993, and continued their business in St. George. \u00a0Ed passed away May 3, 1997, concluding his battle with cancer. Marge moved to St. George until she moved into memory care at Ovation at Sienna Hills in Washington City and subsequently to Sunridge Assisted Living in West Jordan, Utah.<\/p>\n
Marge is preceded in death by her parents, brother Ronald, husbands Wayne and Edward and her son Raymond. \u00a0She is survived by her sons Gary (Jane) and Richard (Christine), eleven grandchildren, thirty-two great grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren.<\/p>\n
A celebration of life for Marge will be held on Friday, March 13, 2026, at the LDS chapel located at 1570 West 11400 South, South Jordan, UT. There will be a viewing from 6:00 -7:00 p.m. followed immediately by her funeral. \u00a0Interment will be on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. in the Santa Clara City Cemetery, 1950 Ancestor Way, Santa Clara, Utah.<\/p>\n
The family would like to express deep gratitude for the kind, tender and loving care given to her by the staff at Ovation and Sunridge. \u00a0We appreciate Metcalf Bonzo and McDougal mortuaries for their help and guidance during this time. \u00a0In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite animal shelter.<\/p>\n
