Jolene Webster

Jolene Webster Goff, 81, passed away peacefully in her home, on Monday, March 25th, 2024. She was born August 21st, 1942, in the Heart of Dog Town, Cedar City, Utah to Helen Pace and Ernest Nelson Webster. Raised the “right way” with deep Cedar City roots and values. She was always proud to be a “Redman” and longed to return once she moved away. She met and married Jerry Goff in Salt Lake City on April 29th, 1965. Jolene knew the moment she saw him, from her upstairs window, that that cowboy was the one for her. They spent 53 years together, creating many memories through lots of laughter and a few tears. As luck would have it (or by Jolene’s sheer perseverance), they were able to return to Cedar and go on to build her dream home [under the family cottonwood tree] and their beloved cabin on Kanarra Mountain.

Jolene had a long career working as a bookkeeper for a local CPA firm and loved working with the public. She served her city and local government through various positions that included the Planning and Zoning commission and served prestigiously on City Council. Jolene especially loved spending time with her family and was their biggest supporter; from football, rodeo and golf to motocross, tennis, wrestling, gymnastics, cheerleading and softball, she would be there cheering them on. She loved seeing her family happy and enjoying the activities they loved. Jolene enjoyed spending time in her garden and her yard was always a labor of love. She equally looked forward to any opportunity to spend time at the cabin, in the cool mountain air. She would share fond memories from her childhood there and was able to create special moments with her children and grandchildren on the same family grounds.

Jolene is survived by her three children David (Julee) Goff, Stacey (Brad) Lindburg and Ryan (Holly) Goff. She had nine grandchildren: Justin, Brody, Aspen, Reggy, Derek, Broc, Josie, Sadie, and Bailey, six great-grandchildren and her brother Sandy (Brenda) Webster. She is proceeded in death by her beloved husband, Jerry Goff, parents Nels and Helen Webster and brothers Pace, Don and JN Webster.

Margene Hansink

Margene was born Dec 2, 1942 in Cedar City, Utah, passed away Dec 16, 2023. In addition to her love for her children, Margene had an extraordinary passion for animals. Her heart was a sanctuary for creatures big and small, and her home was often filled with the joyful presence of pets as she found great solace and companionship in the company of her furry friends. Her compassion extended beyond her own challenges, and she often lent a helping hand to those in need, be they two-legged or four.
Music and dance were outlets of expression for Margene, providing moments of joy and escape during the last few years of her life. In the simple melodies and rhythms, she discovered a form of self-expression that brought comfort and peace. It also brought much joy to her fellow residents and staff at Season’s as well as her family.
Margene will be dearly missed by all who knew her. In lieu of a formal funeral service, Margene’s family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life not the sadness of her passing.
She is survived by her children Von (Becky), Angie, Dani (Heath), Tyson and Cade as well as her grandkids Tavin, Presley, Hunter and Tatum. She is preceded in death by both parents and her brother Dale. .



Jean Watson


Hazel Jean Watson Allred of Syracuse, Utah passed away peacefully at home in the presence of family on Monday, April 10, 2023. She was 81 years old. Jean was born on January 8, 1942, to L. Dee and Joyce Watson in Cedar City, Utah and was the second of five siblings: Paul, Jean, Kent, Collin, and Douglas. Jean was both the spiritual and loving center of her home.

Jean attended the College of Southern Utah and Utah State University for her undergraduate studies and Brigham Young University for a Master’s degree. She was the valedictorian of her graduating class at USU. She put her talents for Home Economics to use every day taking care of others. Jean wore the title of mother proudly. She worked as a homemaker for 19 years until her oldest was preparing to leave on a mission and then went back to work as a teacher at West Point Elementary.
There are hundreds of kids from West Point who can say they were loved and taught by Mrs. Allred. She received numerous awards for her teaching prowess including Teacher of the Year from the Utah Education Association. A life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Jean held many leadership callings in the Relief Society and Primary, but none more important than serving with John in the Cub Scouts. Her scouts were taught well and knew they were loved.

Mom took care of the family providing meals, making clothing and costumes, holding regular family home evening, and making it a peaceful place to live. During the holidays, Jean made sure that her kids had an opportunity to serve. She loved planning the 12-Days-of-Christmas deliveries for the kids to drop on the doorstep and then run screaming back to the car.

Jean loved her grandkids and spent countless hours planting jellybeans that turned into suckers, planning Easter Egg Hunts, reading books, teaching five-minute school, blowing thousands of gallons of bubbles, painting crafts, and building volcano science projects. She never missed a birthday card, and each year found a book to be shared on Thanksgiving for the holiday season.

Jean is survived by brothers, Kent Dee Watson (Connie), and Dr. Douglas R Watson (Nancy); sisters-in-law, Linda (Paul) and Nancy (Colin); her children Dr. John David Allred (Caridee), Dr. Michael Glade Allred (Maria), Maryn Cook (Eric), and Alaina Allred; and 16 grandchildren. She was preceded in death by the love of her life just days ago, John; her father, L. Dee; mother, Joyce; and brothers, Paul and Colin. We are confident that she is enjoying joyous reunions with family and friends.

A graveside service will be held on 2:00pm Thursday, April 13, 2023, at West Point City Cemetery, 80 North 4000 West, West Point, Utah 84015.

Glade met Judee Wood at Cedar High School, and in 1961 they married and had three lovely daughters – Tamara, Amber, and Tara. Though their marriage didn’t last forever as they had hoped, they remained close. His most proud accomplishment was his beautiful girls, and he was a very devoted father.

Glade was a steadfast and supportive partner to Nancy, and they enjoyed traveling, hosting friends and family, and just enjoying quiet time together.

Glade is survived by his wife Nancy, his sister Jeanette (Gary) Berrett Jones of Cedar City, daughters Tamara (Mahlon) Dormon of San Leandro, CA, Tara Ewing of Walnut Creek, CA, his stepdaughters Carrie (Pete) Feiock of Bothell, WA, Elizabeth Prouse of Marysville, WA, his eleven grandchildren, Ashlee, Travis, Alexander, Emily, Isaac, Elijah, Sophie, Chelsea, Kylie, Corey, and Jonathan.

David Richtsteig


Full military honors were paid David John Richsteig, 23 of Cedar City at graveside services at the Cedar city Cemetery.  Richsteig is the only member of the military forces from Cedar City who lost his life in the Viet Nam war.  A Major with the U.S. Marine Corps, Richsteig was reported missing in Viet Nam Dec 9, 1965.  He was officially declared dead by the Department of Defense in February, 1974.  His body was recently found near Danang South Viet Nam and has been returned to Cedar City for burial. A native of Cedar City, Major Richsteig attended Cedar City schools and graduated from Cedar High School  He went on to graduate from College of Southern Utah, now Southern Utah University.  He further studied at the University of Utah where he received a degree in accounting.  Richsteig began his military career with the Marine Corps in 1962.  He later was commissioned June 9, 1964 at Fort Douglas, Utah through the Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Class.  Following his commission he was assigned to Quantico, VA for six months officer’s training before assignment to Viet Nam.


He was born May 9, 1942 in American Fork to Max and Laura Stewart Richsteig.  He married Kristen Barnes July 3, 1964 in Salt Lake City.  During his service in Viet Nam a son, Erick, was born to him, a son that he never saw.


While in the service of his country he was the recipient of the Vietnamese Cross for Gallantry, the Vietnamese Campaign Medal and the Purple Heart.  His ultimate sacrifice for his country stands out as a credit to him and his fellow countrymen.  It is with honor that he served, with honor that he died.  It is only through such sacrifices that the country remains strong and free.  Although short in years, his contribution becomes paramount.  Hopefully his life will be an example to those who follow.


He will be remembered by many in Cedar City through his school years, while working as a clerk at Safeway and as an active member of the Cedar Third Ward.

Dixie Andrews


Dixie Andrews


Dixie Elaine Andrews Hassett was born March 24, 1942 in Mt. Pleasant, Utah. Her parents, Horace and Vanetta Andrews, were transitioning from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Utah when she arrived. Dixie grew up in Morgan, Utah, which she said was one of her favorite places on earth. She had an idyllic childhood riding bikes, horses, roller skating and swimming. In 9th grade her family moved to Cedar City. While there, she played the flute, chaired dance committees, edited the newspaper and participated in Pep Club before graduating from Cedar High School. Dixie’s siblings were Marian, Kathy, Don and Tammy. Although they were spread over many years, Dixie enjoyed many happy memories with all of them.
Dixie excelled at academics. After graduation, she moved to Salt Lake City to attend nursing school at Holy Cross Hospital. She became close with three dear friends. After earning her nursing degree, she and her friend, Merlene, accepted scholarships to the Mayo Clinic in the nurse anesthetist program. At the last minute, Merlene changed her plans, and Dixie moved alone to Minnesota. After just a few weeks, she returned to Salt Lake and accepted a job at LDS Hospital. Shortly after, she met a handsome engineering student at an institute dance and they were engaged 3 months later. She married Scott Hassett on August 25, 1965 in the Manti Temple.
A year later, Scott finished his master’s degree, their first daughter Lisa was born and they moved to the Bay Area of California. Four more children would follow: Ava, Dayne, Corrine and Shawn. During that time they enjoyed the beaches of Santa Cruz, the redwood forests and made many dear friends.
Dixie and Scott moved their family back to Murray, Utah in 1978. Dixie also returned to nursing at Cottonwood Hospital when her children were older. She was a gifted and compassionate nurse. Her family has grown to include 18 grandchildren of whom she was always proud. She was an example of kindness, patience and a listening ear. No day was complete without chocolate, a crossword puzzle and Jeopardy. She also loved local sports teams but would have to turn the game off if they were losing.
Dixie and Scott hoped to travel more after their retirement but found themselves with new challenges. Dixie was diagnosed with both breast cancer and Parkinson’s in a short period of time. Scott became her full-time caregiver, and they faced this phase with courage and grace. Her testimony of Jesus Christ and his gospel remained solid, her faith unwavering. Dixie was an example of quiet dignity and served in several callings in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She passed peacefully at home on April 15, 2018. Dixie was preceded in death by her parents, Horace and Vanetta Andrews; her sister, Kathy Pen; and a son-in-law, Todd Sorenson.

Joyce Hall


Long ago, and very close to here, on June 23, 1942, a small pink bundle was delivered to the Horace and Fern Hall family…they named her Joyce. Her father, during the prevailing war time, was working for one dollar and 24 cents per day, but to Joyce, there was always plenty to eat, plenty to do, and more than enough to wonder and ask questions about. She had some pretty patient parents, so it was a peaceful and wonderful time to live. She had an older brother, two sisters younger, and a caboose brother who didn’t come until she was 16 years old, but they were and still are close friends.Joyce loved school and was involved in many extra-curricular activities during those years. She attended SUU (then CSU) after graduating from high school, and enjoyed being a cheer leader and library worker while there, as well as secretary for the English department.Joyce and Lee were married in September after he returned from a mission to the Northern States in June of 1961. They both attended CSU for awhile, then Joyce took a full-time job to help support them while Lee finished his schooling. Soon, along came some babies…Elaine, Deb, Susan and Stacy all came within the first seven+years of their marriage. Then a little lull…and then a boy, Steven Lee. Another little lull…and Mark Bryan was the late caboose in this family. These children and their children have been the keepers of the light in her eyes. There are 20 grandchildren, with the 21st coming in July, and 2 great grandchildren and another to be born in October.Joyce had some great service opportunities during her life. She served for several years on the Alumni Committee of SUU, and one year as its President. Likewise with the Valley View Healthcare Foundation, also serving on the Board as President. She has been a Relief Society President, in the Stake Primary and Young Women Presidencies, and founded the Helping Hands organization that assisted Valley View Hospital in volunteer patient services. During these times, she also worked full-time at various jobs, from Commercial Credit to Cedar Land Title, to First Security Bank, and finally, taking her Real Estate License training and exam to begin her real estate career. Joyce dealt with cancer for 14 years, with several operations and treatments, but through it all she loved life.Joyce is survived by her husband Lee G. Sherratt. Her children; Elaine (Kent) Bartschi, Debbi Coleman, Susan Murie, Stacy (Mark) Bradshaw, Steven (Jenny) Sherratt and Mark (Franki) Sherratt.

Lori


Lory Misel


The progression of the cancer was very aggressive, and it took him quickly.  Lory, beloved brother, father, grandfather and counselor, passed away peacefully in the presence of his family the afternoon of July 3, 2016 at his son’s house on Vashon Island, Washington. Lory was born on October 2, 1942 in Cedar City, Utah to Lawrence and Verda Misel. Lory attended high school and college in Cedar City before obtaining his BA in 1964 and Masters in Social Work in 1966 from the University of Utah.


Lory worked as a correctional social worker at the O.H. Close School for Boys at the California Youth Authority in Stockton, CA, from 1966-68 before being recruited to be the Director of Out-Patient services at the Seattle Mental Health Institute in Seattle, WA in 1968.  In 1970, he started a private practice in Seattle and counseled people at offices located in Seattle, Enumclaw and Buckley over the next 46 years – until a month before his death.


Lory created hundreds of programs to enrich others; for schools, churches, professional organizations, corporations, foundations, or any group who had a need. For most of his adult life Lory lived on and worked a small farm in Enumclaw where he raised his family. Lory loved tending to cattle, pigs, chickens, sheep, and his gardens – with his dahlias holding a special place in his heart. 


Lory’s special gift was leading people in spiritual discovery.  He was a student of writings from A Course in Miracles, Richard Rohr, Rumi, the Bible, Thich Nhat Hanh and of the movies A Field of Dreams and Groundhog Day.  He loved the banjo – something you may not realize; but Lory played the banjo a bit, back when he was all a lot younger.


He is survived by son Rob and Brenda Misel of Vashon, WA; son Jeff and Lili Misel of Fairbanks, AK and five grandchildren; Katherine (21), Will (17), John (15), Darcy (11), and Oscar (8), each of whom he adored greatly.   


A celebration of Lory’s life will take place at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, July 13, at The Kelley Farm, 20021 Sumner Buckley Highway, Bonney Lake, WA 98391.

MacNeil3


MacNeil Boyter


I am delighted to have this opportunity to express my appreciation to my friends and associates of my days in Cedar City. Nice job Lennis, Bonnie and your committee. I hope your efforts are as meaningful to others as they are to me. I regard my days in Cedar City and specifically those of our high school years as wonderful opportunities to experience a lot of different jobs, responsibilities and develop great friendships which have proven to stand the test of time. Like others I joined the Utah National Guard and received training in Ft Ord California and Ft Sill Oklahoma shortly after we graduated. I returned to Cedar to continue working at the Fair Deal Motor (sounds strange today) and going to school at CSU. When I graduated I continued to work until I was called to serve in the Eastern Atlantic States Mission in the fall of 1962. It was a terrific opportunity and certainly made a lot of difference in my life then and today. After returning to Cedar in the fall of 1964 I continued to take a few classes at CSU and then moved to Salt Lake City to work and prepare to attend BYU and continue my education. It was during this period that I met my sweetheart Alta Jane Thomas from Wales, Utah, who is now my wife. We were married in the Salt Lake Temple in the summer of 1966. I graduated from the Y after the fall semester and accepted employment with the CIA. This proved to be short term as I decided that being a “spook” did not really meet my life style and I resigned my commission and began my career as a “spook” of other sorts as a car salesman at the Pontiac, Cadillac dealership in Provo. It seemed like the next logical step from the CIA at the time. We have continued to follow that path now for 44 years. It has been a great ride as it has allowed me to raise my family in a wonderful valley and experience a lot of opportunities that are offered here in “happy valley”.Alta and I have six children, five daughters and one son. They are living and growing in six different places and four different states. They have given us nineteen grandchildren to cherish and who certainly make our life full. Through the years we have spent a lot of time in community and church service which has provided the opportunity to understand the joys of being a part of activities and events that have significant consequences both for those who we associate and ourselves. Despite a few health bumps in the road of life we have and are having a wonderful time. We are sincerely grateful for those who have been near and dear through the years. One item that is near to my heart is the creation of a foundation called the “Children with Cancer Christmas Foundation”, which began in 1998 from a few families being serviced by a group of wonderful people with good hearts to an organization when now involves several hundred volunteers and families and children that number over seven hundred and fifty. This is a difficult number when you consider the cause, but has proven to touch lives in love and comfort I would have not perceived a few years ago. So all in all we are more than grateful to have known and continue to know you my fellow members of the class of 1960 and I am sure we would all receive an “A” from Mrs. Palmer as she often told me that we were the very best class she had known to pass through the halls and lives of the old Cedar High. Thanks to you all. I look forward to being with you soon.


Occasionally in our lives, we come across someone who for one reason or another makes us feel special, someone who makes us feel import. MacNeil Boyter was blessed with a unique ability to touch others lives for good. From his family, neighbors and friends to the doctors and nurses who cared for him the final days of his life, he never ceased to bring smiles to our faces and make each of us feel as if we were the most important person. Mac passed away on October 12, 2013 after a courageous battle with pneumonia. He will be greatly missed not only by his family but also by the community to which he gave so much. Mac was born on November 10, 1941 in Cedar City Utah to Mae Macfarlane and Neil Boyter, He served in the Utah National Guard until 1959 when he was called to serve a LDS mission in the Eastern Atlantic States.
Mac graduated from BYU earning his degree in Psychology and Business. In 1966 Mac met and courted Alta Jane Thomas. In that same year they were sealed together in the Salt Lake City, LDS Temple. Together they had six children five girls and one boy who were always the primary focus of their lives. Mac loved life in all its facets and took pleasure in serving others, His passion was people. He not only loved them but they loved him. Mac was blessed to have a special sense of humor. He served in various civic organizations, was Chairman of the American Cancer Society, First Chairman of the Provo Freedom Festival two consecutive years. He was the founder and Chairman of Mac’s Gift formerly known as The Children with Cancer Christmas Foundation.


He worked for Harmons Auto Center from 1966 to 2013 He served as a salesman and sales manager.
Throughout his life, Mac served faithfully in his various church callings as quorum president, high counselor, bishop, stake presidency, MTC branch president, and stake patriarch.
Mac is survived by his spouse, Alta Boyter; six children Kim (William) Taylor, Michole ( Corey) Church, Ashley (Scott) Taylor, Lorie (Dean) Barney, Megan (Charlie) Miller, and Mac Neil (Charami) Boyter; and 22 grandchildren of which the oldest two are currently serving LDS missions.

Michael passed away about 4/15/15. In 2010 he wrote: Hi everyone, Hard to summarize fifty years in a few sentences, but here are some highlights of my life up to now. I was in the National Guard along with a bunch of guys, Steve, David, Leon, etc.  We were sent to Puerto Rico when we were seniors and it was quite an adventure.  I actually shook hands with the governor of Utah as we were boarding the plane.I too left for Fort Ord before our graduation exercises which I regret. I married Karen Schoenberger of Fillmore in 1962 and we settled in So Cal.I attended Cal State L.A. where I received a degree in mathematics.  At the same time, starting in 1967, I taught myself computer programming (the machines then had 16K of memory!).  This led to a very satisfying career.  I was a systems analyst/programmer for an insurance company in Pasadena.  Later I was a mainframe Sr. Systems Programmer for a financial services company in Irvine, CA responsible for a 3000+ terminal network. Later, after the “demise” of the mainframe, I migrated to the PC world (what a culture shock!) and entered into independent contract software development, working for 10-20 companies in So Cal.  My latest gig was developing a system for Sprint/Nextel allowing for maintenance of frequencies and antennas (amazingly complicated).I recently retired from the software game although I continue to develop some personal applications (latest is a system to manage stock market portfolios). Instead of the usual retirement activities such as playing golf, traveling, etc., I decided to return to a totally different field, home construction.  I had helped my dad build a number of homes in Cedar City.  I’m refurbishing my own home built in 1986 as well as another dwelling.  I’m handling every aspect including plumbing, electrical as well as the carpentry.  I’m using tools my dad used in the 50’s (they don’t make ‘em like that anymore!).  It is turning out to be a very positive endeavor, mentally and physically challenging (use it or lose it). I’m seriously considering making it an ongoing part-time career. I continue to work on my piano playing.  Although schooled in classical, my passion now is jazz, focusing on old standards.  I’m working on my own arrangements, but love to play those by Oscar Peterson, Marion McPartland, Peter Nero, Marcus Roberts, etc. I enjoy spending time with my son Travis and grandson Ryan.  My mom (she still lives alone at age 95!) and my sister Jeri live just up the road.  Of course, my significant other, Susan is a big part of my life (we’re taking a trip to Alaska in August).  Oh yeah, and I do love playing golf!  (Public records indicate he divorced Karen in 1973 and never remarried)

Nellie Rae 


Nellie Rae passed away December 12, 2019.  She married Lyle Fuller and they lived in numerous places, but later they were divorced.  She then married Stanley Mecham and lived in Tropic the rest of her life.


“I am so grateful that I was born and raised in Cedar City Utah.  I always felt secure and safe there.  I loved the town and people and felt sorry for anyone who did not live there.  I grew up enjoying life and the excitement of it.  Friend’s and family will always be wonderful memories for me.”


Nellie Rae grew up on 300 West in Cedar City and had a wonderful childhood. She was a very busy little girl. She could be seen running, jumping and bouncing in her dresses with her long blond ringlets. When she was a teen, she loved working at her dad’s business—The Candy Kitchen. Nellie Rae was outgoing, popular, and involved in high school. She was very proud to be a Cedar Redmen cheerleader. She was a good dancer and loved participating in assemblies and festivals. She graduated high school in 1960, and then attended CSU which is now SUU. Later she attended USU in Logan, Utah.


She met and married N. Lyle Fullmer from Idaho on January 11, 1963. They later divorced in June 1974. They were blessed with three children: Francine, Jan, and Barbie. While married to Lyle, she lived in Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Germany. Even though she didn’t speak German, she came to love the people there and the kindness they showed to our family.


In 1974, Nellie Rae started working at State Bank of Southern Utah in Cedar City as a teller and then moved to running the proof machine. The employees and supervisors loved Nellie Rae and always commented about how fast she did everything! She is well known for being quick, efficient, prompt, and organized.


In January 1978, she began dating Stan Mecham from Tropic, Utah. When Nellie Rae was a little girl she dreamed of marrying a cowboy. When she married Stan on October 14, 1978 that dream came true. They have shared 41 wonderful years together and have a great love for each other. They worked really hard at putting two families together and making our house a home. Nellie Rae became the step-mother to Stan’s four children: Debi, Clint, Harvey, and Mclain Mecham. Nellie Rae and Stan were also blessed with two more children, Bode and Zane. Zane passed away before birth. She loved being a wife and mother, having a clean home, and making meals for family, friends, and strangers. Everyone was always welcome in their home. Not long after marrying Stan, she began working at Ruby’s Inn near the entrance of Bryce Canyon. She worked in many positions there over the years—front desk clerk, restaurant hostess, and the floor manager in the General Store. She helped Stan run his trail ride business at Ruby’s Inn, and she also served as the Tropic Town Clerk. When State Bank of Southern Utah opened a branch in Tropic in 1997, they asked Nellie Rae to be the Operations Manager over that branch. She worked there for 9½ years and then retired in 2007.


Nellie Rae was involved in the Bryce Valley Quilt Guild for many years and made many beautiful quilts for people. Her hobbies not only included quilting, but also reading, crocheting, cross-stitching, braiding, cooking, and learning to play the violin. She loved doing family history and learning about her ancestors. She is known for her kindness and thoughtfulness – great talents.


Nellie Rae was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served as Junior Sunday School Coordinator, Young Women’s teacher, nursery leader, Relief Society president at the ward and stake level, Relief Society and Sunday School teacher, and temple worker. She loved serving the Lord in whatever capacity she was given and she gave it 100%. She has a very strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.


Nellie Rae was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother, and is dearly loved by her posterity. As of her death, she had 31 grandchildren and 39 great-grandchildren.


She is survived by her husband, Stan Mecham, children—Debi (Jim) Miller, Henderson, NV; Francine (Stonnie) Pollock, Midland, TX; Mclain (Merrilee) Mecham, Tropic; Jan (Angie) Fullmer, Henderson, NV; Barbie (Tracy) Feltner, Cedar City; and Bode (Taryn) Mecham, Cedar City; siblings: Ferry (Ben) Baldwin, Cedar City; Mazie Burris, Centerville; Don (Linda) Whatcott, Argyle, TX.

The family wishes to extend a special thanks to the CNA’s and nurses at The Beehive Home, Cedar City Health & Rehab, and the Zion’s Way Hospice team who took such kind and tender care of Nellie Rae during her last few months, especially the loving attention that was given by Ellen and Colleen in her final days.

After High School graduation I attended College of Southern Utah for two years. The thrill of getting 3 A’s in Chemistry gave me such a sense of power that I enrolled in the food and nutrition dietetics program at Utah State University where I was soon humbled by the terrifying experience of Bio-chemistry (another chemistry experience that I shared with Bonnie Magleby!) After that last experience I vowed that I would avoid all chemistry except within the confines of my own kitchen. I withdrew from school at the end of my junior year and was hired as the Secretary and Office Manger for the Dean of the College of Humanities and Arts at USU. I intended to work for a year and then return to school. However, at the end of the year I met my future husband, Max Calvert Lewis. We married in December of 1964 and I continued to work for the University while he completed his degree. Max graduated in Personnel Management and began a career with the Forest Service in Personnel Management which moved us from Logan, to Ogden, to Vernal and then to Idaho before ending up in Corvallis Oregon, where we have lived for the past 20 years. We have seven children (4 boys and 3 girls) and 17 grandchildren. I am a homemaker, an avid reader, and enjoy writing, scrapbooking, and knitting. I returned to full-time work after we moved to Oregon as an employee of Oregon State University. I retired in 2003 from my job as Office Manager for the Department of Forest Science at OSU. My husband retired from the Department of Energy in 2004. We are currently serving as Ordinance Workers in the Portland Oregon temple and spending as much time as possible with those 17 beautiful grandchildren.

Sheila Gardner


Beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother Sheila Gardner Rose left this earth Wednesday, April 6, 2016 after a lengthy battle with dementia. To all who had the joy of having Sheila in their lives, her passing is a great loss.


Sheila was born August 24, 1942 to Kumen and Naida Gardner in Cedar City, Utah. From the very beginning Sheila was full of life and not a believer in all things traditional. She was never one to believe that her role was to be subservient simply because she was a woman. As a result, she was always working to improve herself both intellectually and physically. Her joy of learning led her to study anthropology, eventually earning a Master’s Degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1977. Sheila was also devoted to physical health as she ran five to ten miles a day, and biked just as many until just a few years ago.


Sheila married Gerald C. Wood, and they were later sealed in the St. George Temple. She and Jerry had four children together. They later divorced. Sheila worked hard to raise and provide as a legal secretary. In 1984 she was chosen to be the Trial Court Executive in the fifth district. She served in that role until the late eighties when she went to work for the Juvenile Court as a probation officer. Her excellence in that role is demonstrated by the numerous testimonials, including letters to the editor, from former probationers testifying to the positive impact she made in their lives.


Sheila had a testimony of Jesus Christ and was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints where she served in several positions throughout her lifetime.


She is survived by her children: Lee (Linda) Wood of Cedar City, UT; Heidi (Les) White of Cedar City, UT; Stephanie (Craig) Davidson of Heber City, UT; and Travis Wood of Salt Lake City, UT; her brothers: Dayne (Elizabeth) Gardner of Cedar City, UT; Eric (Marion) Gardner of Holiday, UT; Paul (Barbara) Gardner of Plantersville, Texas; and Neil (Anne Marie) Gardner of Lahaina, Hawaii; 14 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.


Sheila is preceded in death by her parents Kumen and Naida Gardner.


Funeral services will be held Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at the Cedar West Stake Center, 725 S 1100 W, Cedar City, Utah.

Kirley

Thomas Wade Kirtley  (Tom Cat–the man with 9 lives)

 


Born January 14,1942 in Mason City, Washington near the Grand Coulee Dam.  (Now know as Coulee Dam)


I moved 19 times in the first 2 years of my life.  During the second year of my life I wandered off and got lost in the forest around Port Angeles Washington. It took the National Guard to find me. I was lost for 24 hours.  I was pinned under a rock next to a creek.  My dog stayed with me.  His barking helped the searchers find me.


I moved to Utah at age three where we lived in Smithfield, Logan, and Dragerton (now East Carbon).  We then moved to Price where I got run over by a car.


I moved to Cedar in 1948 at the age of six and stayed until I was twenty years old.  I was a member of the Cedar High track team when they took the state championship in 1960.  Danny Lindsay, Larry Anderson, Roger Halterman and I held the record at the BYU relay carnival, for over 35 years, in the 440 yard relay.


I joined the National Guard.  One summer, while at guard camp, I spent two days in the Salt Lake county jail for driving Scott Lambeth’s Corvette at 140 mph.  I got caught because of a road bock that was set up for a guy that was trying to kill his wife.


I went to work at the Nevada test site in 1965.   I worked on a 1527 foot tall tower.  While working at the Bren tower, one day at the 1100 ft. level we were setting the Neutron Generator for experimental runs. The Generator road on an elevator that was controlled from the ground level.  I was giving directions over the radio and asked that it be lowed about one foot.  However, it just continued down even as they tried to stop it.  The brakes had failed and the generator went into a faster and faster fall.  There were three of us on the elevator and we figured this was the end.  If the generator hit the ground, it would destroy the legs of the tower and it would fall.  However, there was a built in emergency brake that was controlled by the speed of the falling object.  It stopped 90 feet from the ground.  Everything and everybody survived intact.


I was contaminated by radioactive Hydrogen (tritium) and spent two days in the hospital and was not allowed to use public bathrooms.  I was involved in at least fifty underground nuclear tests.  (Some that did not stay underground). 


I married Rosalie Rider, Beef’s sister in 1967.


One Saturday I decided to ride my motorcycle to the tower.  It was 90 miles away.  After passing through security, I took a short cut on a dirt road.  Someone had left a rope across the road (thankfully it was only tied on one end).  My neck caught the rope and it caused bleeding and skin removal.  A scar was on my neck for years, but wrinkles and patchy skin have hidden it.


I worked at Super Conducting Super Collider at Waxahachie Texas in 1993.  I then returned to the Nevada test site to work on tests to detect if North Korea was building a Nuke.  I retired from E, G and G in 1995 and moved to Cedar to pay golf and I am still playing golf as well as helping make toys for needy children.


In 2009, I took some time off from golf and went, with Art Pryor and some of his family, through the narrows.  Afterward I felt much worse than I had after my many near death episodes.  My brain has never worked properly since!
