DeVona Harward Roberts The pretty, dark-haired DeVona stepped into eternity 
Sunday, Sept. 4, 2005, due to a loving heart that had worn out despite open heart 
surgery in 2000, and a pacemaker to assist in 2003.

DeVona was born March 14, 1927, in Provo, Utah, the first daughter to Sharlend 
Harward and Theo Matilda Harding Harward. She had three older brothers, a sister 
and two more brothers to follow.

One of those brothers, VerDon, introduced her to the handsome Merrill J. Roberts, and 
60 years ago, on Aug. 29,1945, they were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They 
became the parents of seven lucky children, Trist Roberts, Debra (Dan) Ascuena, 
Dana (Janet) Roberts, Pamela (Duane) Dutson, Marcia (Wade) Millett, Earl Roberts 
and Harvey Roberts.

Our little mom put her whole soul into the career of motherhood, although she worked 
many years in the school lunch program. DeVona loved serving in the church and held 
various callings in Primary, Relief Society and, at the age of 70, team-taught the 16-
year-olds in Sunday School.

She left her children a legacy of faithfulness. Loved ones who proceeded her in death 
include her dear dad and mom; a baby grandson, Clay Dana Roberts; two brothers, 
Erwin Harward and VerDon Harward; her sister, Maxine Miner; as well as sisters-in-
law, Lois Harward and Mary Ellen Harward. 

She leaves behind brothers, Marvel Harward, Gary (Margie) Harward and Ted (Nondie) 
Harward; and brother-in-law, Boyd Miner (Alice). She was grandmother to 20 
grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

How we love our dear wife, mother and grandma DeVona and how she loved us!

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 8, at the Logan 2nd Ward 
chapel, 89 S. 200 West, Logan, Utah. A viewing will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on
