Our dear almost 94 year old mother/grandmother/great-grandmother quietly and peacefully slipped into immortality on Saturday, June 8, 2019 in Redmond, (WA).  Dorothy Elizabeth Jacobs Davey McMeen was born June 27, 1925 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Mary Naillon and Carl (Khoren Shilhagopian) Jacobs, the third of seven children.  She graduated from West High School in 1943 and began studying to become a nurse during the closing years of World War II.  Dorothy was active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all her life.  You could always see her reading her scriptures, marking well-loved Church books, and sharing her testimony with everyone she came in contact.  She loved attending the temple and working on family history.  She was the girl of Robert Gray Davey's dream—literally!  While a Japanese prisoner-of-war, Bob Davey dreamed he returned to his parental home in Salt Lake and saw a girl going in and out of his home.  Unbeknown to him, his brothers had sold their home to Dorothy's family and when he returned home and saw her on October 24, 1945, he knew she was the one.  Two months later on December 26, 1945 Dorothy and Bob were married for eternity in the Salt Lake Temple.  For the first time in her life, Dorothy left Utah and began life as an Army wife traveling all over the United States and living in Santa Ana (CA), Falls Church (VA), Panama Canal Zone, and Tumwater (WA) where her husband of 23 years passed away.  After Bob's death in 1968, she took her four children and returned to her native state specifically to Provo, (UT) where she completed her bachelor's degree in Child Development Family Relations at BYU.  She then earned her nursing degree from Westminster College.  She worked as a nurse for many years and then fulfilled a lifelong dream by serving as a health services missionary in Guatemala in 1977.  In 1981 she began her second mission to Costa Rica and finished her mission in Arizona serving among the Navajo Indians in 1982.  In 1988 she married William O. McMeen and in 1989 they served together in the Ohio Columbus Mission.  She was thrilled to add new daughters: Marilyn (Bill) Brown, Elaine (Lawrence) Flake, Sylvia (Bill) Whitson  and son David (Becky) McMeen, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to her family.  They were all family to Dorothy.   After Bill's death in 2005, she moved back to  Redmond, (WA) to be closer to her children and grandchildren.  Dorothy loved getting together with her family and friends.  In Panama every Sunday she would make several apple pies to feed lonely servicemen, in Olympia she loved making empanadas, a treat she loved from Panama.  In Utah she returned to her Armenian roots and was always making cracked wheat patties, lahamjouns, and baklava.  No one entered her home without leaving well-fed, warmed by her endless throws and comforters, filled with family stories, photographed, and asked to share their family history.  She loved listening to the piano and having sing-a-longs from favorite Rodgers and Hammerstein's musicals.  Dorothy is survived by her children, Jeanne Davey, Bruce (Kristen) Davey, Marilyn (Rob) Springgay, 13 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, sister Maxine (Max) Garrett, brothers, Melvin (JoeAnn) Jacobs, and Duane (Jane) Jacobs.  Preceded in death by her husbands, Robert Gray Davey and William O. McMeen, her parents, Mary Elizabeth Naillon and Carl Jacobs, brother, Heber Jacobs, two sisters, Virginia (Melvin) Hatton and Elaine (Paul) Bons, and her son, Brent Gray Davey. Dorothy embraced life with song, food, fun, and family.  Her family wishes to honor her legacy by enjoying a last Dorothy party prior to her funeral services.  The family reunion and family history celebration in the grand "Dorothy" style begins at 10 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 29, 2019. Her funeral service will then begin at noon on Saturday, June 29, 2019 at the Herriman Rose 4 th Ward, 12877 South 4570 West, Riverton, Utah.  She will then be interred at the Salt Lake Cemetery next to her eternal companion, Robert Gray Davey. We invite friends and family to share a special memory they enjoyed with Dorothy, family photos and genealogy at the family history funeral service or leave a memory at www.walkersanderson.com.
