Moroni Francis Miner

Moroni Francis Miner, age 73 of Springville, Utah passed away at his home on March 20, 2024. He was born in Payson, Utah January 1, 1951 to Marion (Med) Francis Miner and Marie Adriana Teerlink Miner.

He was a lifelong resident of Springville.  Educated at Springville High School, Moroni also had a proud history of service in the Utah National Guard, having enlisted as a senior in high school. His military service was a source of great pride for him.  He married Lynnette McDonald in 1985.  They were later divorced.  Moroni gained two daughters from this marriage and subsequent grandchildren.  Moroni remained close to his grandchildren.  Especially his granddaughter, Alisha Borel who took care of her grandpa during the last weeks of his life along with Chelsea Bickmore and her family.  Moroni was an excellent grandfather and he loved his grandchildren dearly.

Moroni's professional journey began working for Wheeler Machinery in Salt Lake City before driving trucks for Clyde Company. However, it was during the later part of his life that he found his true calling as a security guard. Moroni continued in this position until just two months before his passing.

Outside of work and service, Moroni was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He found joy in genealogy work and temple service, especially when it involved honoring his Dutch ancestors.

Moroni is preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Lucille Miner. He is survived by his brother David Hausmann of Overgaard, AZ, cousins, and many others whom he considered bonus family.

A graveside service to honor Moroni's life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on March 26, 2024, at the Springville Evergreen Cemetery in Springville, Utah with military rites by the American Legion.
