Jeanna Anderson Obituary (1965 - 2023)

Jeanna Farnsworth Anderson was born November 5, 1965, in Provo, Utah to Deronda Farnsworth and Susanna Stella Valdez Farnsworth. She passed away at home unexpectedly on October 8, 2023. She is now at peace and getting answers to her many philosophical and spiritual questions she enjoyed discussing with others. She was the mother of two; Jacob Nebeker and Tiffany Stephens (Greg- fiance) who loved her greatly, and grandmother to Jordyn Argentina Lynn Stephens. If you really knew Jeanna, you knew how much she loved her son, daughter and granddaughter. Her family loved her dearly and she loved to serve them. She gave all of them nicknames not long after they were born which they would carry throughout their lives. She made it a point to have a special relationship with each of them and loved to babysit and spend time with them. Throughout her life, Jeanna always marched to the beat of her own drum. She lived life on her own terms with no apologies. She may have had a tough exterior, but really had a gentle soul and a tender heart. From the time she was young she was always a defender of the "underdog". She didn't tolerate bullies and wasn't afraid to stand up to them on behalf of others. She had a great sense of humor and spoke Sarcasm fluently. Jeanna was very much an intellectual, an avid reader and was always wanting to learn new things. Jeanna worked with the IRS where she received medical retirement. She also worked in landscaping for a brief time and enjoyed working in the yard with her sister. Despite her physical limitations she was always ready to serve her family and others. Because of that, each of her family members had a very special and individual relationship with her. She made it her mission to make everyone feel special. She loved to cook and made sure everyone had a full tummy and never went home hungry. She was very charitable and non-judgmental toward the less fortunate and never passed by someone who may have been hungry without offering them something to eat. Jeanna was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She loved her Heavenly Father and Savior and had a close relationship with both. She had a deep knowledge and understanding of the scriptures and great faith. Because of her faith, family often asked her to pray on their behalf and witnessed answers to those prayers. She was preceded in death by Deronda Farnsworth, Susie Valdez Farnsworth (mother) and Terry Lynn Farnsworth (brother). She is survived by her son Jacob Nebeker, daughter Tiffany Stephens, granddaughter Jordyn Argentina Lynn Stephens, sisters Annalee (Dale) Farnsworth Parkinson and Donette (Gary) Farnsworth Isom and many extended family members. Jeanna will be greatly missed by everyone as there is now a big empty space that she once occupied. Everywhere her loved ones look, there are precious memories of her, and her presence is still felt.
