Lavon Stillman

Our loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother passed away peacefully in her sleep April 26, 2020. Lavon Thompson Knight  Stillman was born September 23, 1935 to Forrest Spencer Thompson and Edith West Thompson. She married her forever sweetheart Joseph Willard Knight on July 20, 1954 in the Logan Utah Temple. Together they had six children and a very happy life until Bills premature passing. She later met and married Clifton Dwight Stillman on September 9, 1982.
If ever there was a fighter Lavon was just that. In the face of health challenges she continued to be strong and push thru every obstacle. Finally her Parkinson’s Disease won the battle. Her family was the source of her strength and she continued to put them first. She was loved by everyone that knew her because of her genuine kind, sweet and gentle nature. She was strong in her faithful and was always willing to share her knowledge to help others. She endured many challenges but always remained positive and faithful. Her loving nature to her family was felt by all of them.  Lavon had many interests most of all the well-being of her family and their love for one another. She also was a fantastic cook hosting many family parties over the years and holidays, she loved to crochet and made beautiful baby blankets and afghans that she showered upon her family and others as gifts. She enjoyed her friendships and meeting with her club friends once a month. She enjoyed family history and attending the temple as much as she could possibly get there. She volunteered in the Jordan River Temple for many years. She liked being active and taking walks and enjoying the outdoors. She was a devoted grandmother and was always in attendance at every opportunity to love and support her grandchildren. Lavon had an enormous heart, full of love for her children and grandchildren. Her home and her door were always open – for family to gather, to talk, to share a laugh and a meal. We will always remember the barbecues, pumpkin carving, scavenger hunts for Easter baskets, and  the countless memories that we are all so grateful for.



Lavon is survived by five of her loving children Brad Knight, Lynda (Jeff) Hanks,Lisa Knight,Greg (Denise)Knight,and Jeff Knight. And two stepchildren Brian, Scott(Bobbi) Stillman, Stepson in-law, Cyd Armstrong; and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.
