Susan Jensen Aston
Susan Jensen Aston, beloved grandmother, mother, wife, and friend, returned peacefully to her Heavenly Father on
August 25, 2006. She passed away unexpectedly due to natural causes while visiting family in Whitefish, Montana.
She was born January 11, 1956 in Idaho Falls, Idaho to Quincy and Aleen Jensen. Susan was raised in Ammon, Idaho
and attended Bonneville High School from which she graduated in 1974. She then attended Ricks College where she
received her Associates degree with Honors in nursing. After passing her nursing exam, she began working at
Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. During her final year at Ricks, she met Craig Aston. They were married
on February 18, 1977 in the Idaho Falls Temple.
Craig and Susan settled in Logan, Utah where they raised their four children, Robert, April, David, and Scott.
Her life was her family. She was a dedicated mother who was so involved in the lives’ of her children that she
never missed a single musical performance, sporting event, school recognition, etc. She was intimately involved in
both scholastic and religious endeavors of her children’s lives including helping her three sons earn the rank of
Eagle Scout.
While her family and friends were the most important part of her life, she also enjoyed her nursing career of
over thirty years. She was loved and appreciated by her patients and coworkers alike.
Her friends meant so much to her and she was an enduring friend in return due to her sense of humor and sincerity.
Her interests and hobbies included reading, cross-stitching, and being outdoors. She had a special love for the Tetons.
Susan was a dedicated member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serving in many different capacities
to the fullest. She had a firm testimony of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, which was reflected throughout her life.
She is survived by her husband, Craig; her children: Robert Craig (Heather) of Surprise, Arizona; April Ann
(Kendall) of Logan, Utah; David Thomas currently serving a mission in San Francisco, California; and Scott James,
still at home; two grandchildren, two sisters and her mother, Aleen. She is preceded in death by her father,
