Kenneth G Hughes
Kenneth G. Hughes passed away at his home on March 3, 2008 surrounded by his family after a prolonged illness.
Born August 18, 1921 in Spanish Fork, Utah, Kenneth was the ninth and youngest child of Joseph Hughes, MD and Delila Rebecca Gardner.
He was sealed to his wife of 45 years, Suzanne Hjorth, of Mapleton, Utah, in the Manti Temple on March 22, 1963. Kenneth and Suzanne raised six children in the Washington, DC area: Eric, Brian (Megan), David (Philippa), Neil (Willow), Amy (Nicholas) and Jason (Laura). In addition to his devoted wife, children and 10 grandchildren, Kenneth is survived by his brother Reed Hughes and sister Frances Hillier. He is preceded in death by his sisters Jean Crandall, Bernice Nuttal, Delila Mae and Anne Rowe and his brothers Joseph W. and Preston G.
Kenneth attended Spanish Fork H.S. and later earned a B.S. degree in Chemistry at Brigham Young University. His professional career began after earning a degree in Pharmacy from the University of Utah. Working as a pharmacist, he then enrolled in the Georgetown University Dental School class of 1960. During a 30-year dental career, Dr. Hughes enjoyed serving his patients in his Annandale, Virginia practice. In retirement, he returned to Utah and made his home in Draper.
Kenneth served an LDS mission in the Gulf Coast regions of Louisiana and Texas. His missionary service was closely followed by his U.S. Army deployment to the Philippines during World War II. He was attached to the 108th Infantry Regiment.
Kenneth will be remembered for his quiet strength, his sense of humor and his love of the outdoors. He loved being a father and grandfather and enjoyed supporting his children in their many activities.
Funeral services will take place on Saturday, March 8th at 11:00am at the LDS Chapel in Draper located at 272 E. Traversepoint Dr. (at the intersection of Traverse Ridge Rd. and Highland Dr.). A viewing at this chapel will be held on Friday evening from 6:00 - 8:00pm and on Saturday from 10:00 - 10:45am. The interment will be held at Springville Evergreen Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to the LDS Church Perpetual Education Fund or the Hydrocephalus Association.
