Longtime Redwood Road Residents: The Kone Family

Eddie La-Mone Kone (1915–1987) and his beloved wife, Mavis Kone (1913–2000), were well-known and cherished members of the Redwood Road community. Mavis was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and married Eddie in 1940 in Salt Lake City. Eddie was born in Oola, Utah.

Mavis was an active member of the LDS Church and devoted much of her life to her family. She loved being a homemaker, baking, and spending time with her grandchildren. Her compassion and selflessness were especially evident in the way she cared for her ailing husband for more than 30 years.
