Luella Jane Flitton is a woman who was full of life. She loved dancing and her life was a dance with everyone she touched. The love and energy that flowed through her was contagious. She always made everyone feel important, loved and NOBODY ever went hungry when she was around. It is fitting that on Cinco de Mayo, (May 5th) at 11:14am she got to the greatest dance on her dance card. She joined the love of her life, Ronald Fain Flitton for a dance on the clouds.
Jane was a kind, fun, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Jane was an exemplary homemaker who taught her children the greatest lessons in life were patience, long suffering, forgiveness, the importance of hard work and how to make the best of your trials. Jane was loved and admired by all who knew her. She is greatly missed and leaves behind a great legacy to her family and friends of love and compassion. She was an active and faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, holding many positions and serving a couples genealogy mission. Her whole life’s mission was serving those around her. She was always happy and never tired of going anywhere, anyone wanted to take her.
Jane is survived by her children, Larry (Elaine) Flitton, Kathy (Roy) Cook, Madelene (Rick) McNeil, and Rebecca (Jed) Larsen; 13 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild; sisters, Donna Flitton, Margaret Brough, Lawana Peterson, and Nola Falcone. She was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years; parents, Ward and Louie Atwood; brother Kenneth Atwood and sister Olive Poor.
