Afton Elmer, age 94 of Payson, completed her earthly mission on Thursday, November 17, 2011.

Afton was born, September 15, 1917, in Lake Shore, Utah to Ernest James and Nadia May Hall Huff. She attended schools in Lake Shore and Spanish Fork and graduated from Spanish Fork High School.

She and Spencer Dean Elmer were married the 16th of July, 1938. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Together they had 4 children: son, Gary Dean; daughter, Glenna; son, Lee Wayne and a daughter, Kay Lyn.

Afton was a great home-maker and always had a neat and tidy house. She loved to make chocolate chip cookies for the grandkids and anyone else that dropped by to visit. Her specialty was banana cream pie, which would melt in your mouth. On Thanksgiving, we will always remember Afton for her delicious pies. Afton was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Chris of Latter-day Saints and served in many capacities. She and Dean would set a goal each year of doing a least 100 endowments for the dead and usually exceeded their goal. Many lives have been touched by their great examples and she will be missed greatly.

She was preceded in death by: a son, Gary Dean; a daughter, Kay Lyn; her husband, Spencer Dean Elmer; her brothers, Max, Earl, Faye; a sister, Rhea Argyle; grandson, Kevin Dean Losser and great-grandson, Colby Kilmer. She is survived by her children, Glenna (Neil) Losser and son, Lee Wayne (Susan) Elmer and a sister-in-law, Leah Huff.
