Donald Emery Timpson
June 12, 1930 — January 13, 2017
On Friday, January 13th 2016 the earthly sojourn of Donald Timpson ended. Donald enjoyed life and summed it up as being wonderful and joyous. Even through the last painful weeks Donald remained determined and steadfast and appreciated the generous help of all those who visited and cared for him.
Donald is survived by his wife of more than 60 years, Beverly, his daughter Tricia (Greg) Bowden, his son James (Dianne) and many grandchildren and a growing number of great-grandchildren. Donald is preceded in death by his parents George and Beda, his 3 brothers, his son, Joe Timpson, and daughter, Cindy MacFarlane.
Donald served more than 20 years with the Utah Air National Guard and US Army, starting as a private at age 17 and retiring as a Major. Donald was active in the finance and leasing business, starting with Zion’s Bank at an early age and eventually becoming Executive Vice President and General Manager of Zion’s Leasing and Zion’s Credit Corporation, working closely with his friend, Richard VanWinkle. After his first retirement he worked with his friends at Evans Laundry Equipment and enjoyed it so much he continued working beyond his intended 3 or 4 years and spent 17 years working with them.
Donald served in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints his whole life from his mission in Sweden at age 19 to serving 2 missions with his beloved wife after he retired. Donald enjoyed meeting people and making friends whereever he was, from the golf course to tennis courts, various gyms and other athletic activities. His focused and determined, yet generous and calm demeanor will be missed by his family, and friends.
