Sister Frances Beverly Johnson Monson, who died May 17, was remembered in her funeral service May 23 as a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to serving the Lord.
President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency, conducted the service honoring the life of Sister Monson, wife of President Thomas S. Monson, mother of three, grandmother of eight and great grand-mother of eight.
Joining President Eyring in paying tribute to Sister Monson were President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, second counselor in the First Presidency, and Ann Monson Dibb, President and Sister Monson's daughter.
The service, held in the Tabernacle on Temple Square, was attended by members of the Quorum of the Twelve, other General Authorities and general auxiliary leaders.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir performed "How Great Thou art," with Dallyn Vail Bayles as vocal solist; "Each Life that Touches Ours for Good;" and "Consider the Lilies." A special musical number, "My Heavenly Father Loves Me," featured a great-granddaughter, Emily Steel, as vocal soloist. She was accompanied by Sarah D. Steele, one of Sister Monson's granddaughters; and friends of the family, Sarah Abbot, violinist; and Carolyn Duede, harpist.
The invocation was offered Elder William R. Walker of the Seventy. Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve gave the benediction.
After the service ended, the Tabernacle Choir sang "God Be With You" as the family left the Tabernacle.
Prior to the funeral, a son, Clark S. Monson, offered the family prayer. Another son, Thomas L. Monson, dedicated the grave in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
