MarDeane (Polly) Carver Jordan 1924 ~ 2010 MarDeane (Polly) Carver Jordan passed away peacefully, holding the hand of her husband of 63 years, on February 9, 2010.She was born June 27, 1924 in Preston, Idaho to Hazel Smith and Parley Leonidas Carver. She was one of seven children. Polly met the love of her life, Amos (Joe) Jordan at the University of Idaho, Southern Branch, and followed him to the US Military Academy at West Point where they were married on June 5, 1946. They were sealed shortly after in the Idaho Falls Temple. Polly and Joe had a lifelong love affair. They lived and travelled around the world, making homes and friends in England, India, Hawaii, New York, Washington DC, Aspen, CO, and military posts throughout the country, finally settling in Bountiful, Utah where they have resided for the past 15 years. Polly's world revolved around her family. Popcorn balls, gingerbread houses, family reunions in Jackson Hole, black licorice, Sunday tapioca pudding, a love of books, music, and dancing, long walks, and homemade Halloween costumes are memories we will always cherish. Polly loved the Savior and serving in the Church. She was a Relief Society president, Young Women leader and tireless primary worker. She was the last one to leave the ward house after cleaning up following an activity. Polly and Joe served two missions together in Hong Kong and Hawaii. She left a legacy of faith for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
