his sweetheart on December 19, 2023, in St. George, UT. He was born – the youngest
of two sons - on Easter Sunday 1938 in Caldwell, ID, to James Afton and Tersa
Lemmon Welch. </span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br />
Alfred attended 1st and 2nd grade in Parma, ID, but in 1946, the family moved to Homedale, ID, where he
continued his education, graduating from Homedale High School in 1956. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br />
In the fall of 1957, Al married Marcella (Marcie) Clark also of Caldwell. From
their marriage came four much-loved children, Janie Lee, Tonja Sue, Ronald
Mark, and Danny Allen. Al and Marcie subsequently divorced. Al later married
Maloah (“Mo”) Lee Glover, to whom he was sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1979. Mo brought 3 children
to the marriage: Trenton David, Trevor David, and Selinda Marie Mullins Chesak
Ellis who passed away in November of 1996 in a hunting accident. Following Mo’s
death of heart failure in 2004, Al married her widowed sister Bonita (“Bonnie”)
Glover Pendleton who subsequently passed away from cancer in 2013. Al later
married Julia Gardner Welch with whom he lived until the time of his
passing. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br />
From the time he was young, his father owned several service stations in
addition to a car dealership. Al’s first car was a Subaru Golden Hawk which he
loved. <br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Al had a fascinating work life. As a youth, besides working
for his father, he began working for a grocery store, and in the summer of
1955, he joined the Idaho National Guard. Following high school graduation, he
continued in the Air National Guard full-time in Nevada and Idaho for nearly 12
years. He attained the rank of E6 Tech Sargent as a Personnel Specialist in the
124th Fighter Squadron (“First Class or Not at All.”) After his employment in the
Air National Guard, he worked mostly in sales and management positions
Associated Food Stores as a sundry salesman covering Southern Idaho. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br />
He also graduated from Boise State University, majoring in computer science. He
was early in the IT game and never really used his college education although
he wrote a program for parts inventorying which he sold. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br />
Among various other employments, he designed and developed a business in parts
catalogs for large and small entities, became a pharmacy technician, built feed
managers, owned his own small trucking company, managed a boat marina, managed
a mobile home park, worked for the BLM securing water outposts. He also worked
for Kenworth. He was never one to sit still, often working more than one job at
a time. He was a problem solver, and his motto was to “look outside the box.”
He also loved telling stories and had a great sense of humor. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br />
In 1978 Al became a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints and served in numerous callings/positions throughout his life and held a
deep and abiding testimony of Jesus Christ. He truly loved the Lord and was so
grateful for his blessings. <br />
Al loved his country. He was a consummate gentleman and was loved by so many in
both his business and his personal life.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">He is survived by his sweetheart, Julie Gardner Welch, his
brother Ronald (Red) Afton and Judy Welch, and children Janie Lee Wildon, Tonja
Sue Graham, Ronald Mark Little, Danny Allen Little, Trenton David, Trevor
David, grandchildren Tyson and Mallory Wilden, Patsy and Scott Fowler, and
bonus step-children Derren and Rebecca Klein and Dwain and Alicia Klein, as
well as many wonderful grand and great-grandchildren. He loved them all
unfailingly. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br />
A celebration of Al’s life will be planned in the spring of 2024 to be held in
Idaho where many of his relatives reside.</span></p>

on December 19, 2023 when he was reunited for the rest of eternity with his
loving wife Elaine. Ralph died at age 95 at the Birch Creek Assisted
Living Center in Smithfield, UT. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Ralph was born at home on August 22, 1928, in
Soda Springs, ID, the fifth and last child of Charles and Della (Sanderson)
Tucker. Soda Springs was his home until 5<sup>th</sup> grade when the family
moved to Pocatello, where Ralph learned invaluable lessons working in his
father’s sheep business during the summer months, herding sheep and cooking for
the hired hands. </span></b></span></p><p style="line-height: 106%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Ralph attended Pocatello High School from 1942
to 1946, a proud member of the varsity basketball team all four years of high
school. He continued his education at Idaho State University graduating
with a BA in business. At college he spotted a beautiful girl riding on
the swan float in the homecoming parade. He persuaded a friend to arrange a
blind date. The rest is history.<span> </span>Ralph
married the love of his life, Elaine Hale, on December 23, 1950. The two
spent 71 years together, raised 2 sons Ralph Lynn and Tracy Dean, and a daughter
Terri Della, and enjoyed time spent with their six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.</span></b></span></span></p>

work as a salesman for Bannock steel, which later became Gate City Steel. This
began a 30-year career. He retired in 1987 as senior vice president.
Retirement didn’t last long. He returned to work for 3 additional years
with Geneva Steel before retiring with Elaine to St. George, UT, where they
enjoyed more thirty years together. They were active community members and made
many dear friends. Together they served five years as ordinance workers
in the St. George LDS temple, and Ralph also enjoyed 15 years volunteering at

humor. He said in the end it didn’t matter where he went to school, what
board he sat on, or what club he was elected to serve as president. What
mattered was what he did to make the world a better place. He always said:
“Keep your sense of humor and find something to be grateful for”. He

sisters enjoyed an evening with “Angels Among Us” on Thursday, December 14,
including a delicious dinner and a beautiful holiday program. Organized by Lesa
Day, sisters were served by priesthood members. Lindsay Ruiz, accompanied by
Kate Barclay, performed a touching solo. A readers’ theater reminded us of the
impact of angels who have touched our lives. Each sister was gifted hand-dipped
chocolates made by our own Kezia Brown and her mother. The evening was capped
off with a touching rendition by the YM/YW Special Needs group singing “In This Very Room.” Those angels most certainly touched many hearts.</span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="x193iq5w" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span>Thanks

Nadine Tait Johnson died peacefully on Friday, October 20, 2023. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Born in Cedar City in March 1935 to Sylvia
Gibson and Orson D. Tait, Nadine was one of five siblings: Robert Tait, Joy T.
Murphy, Deniece Tait, Karren T. Johnson, and Shirleen T. Draper. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nadine was a 1953 graduate of Cedar High
School, where she loved to sing and dance. <p></p><p> Nadine's life changed forever when she met Dean R. Johnson. They were married in
August 1953. They were sealed in the St. George temple and enjoyed a remarkable
marriage of over 70 years which has been an inspiration for generations of
their descendants. Dean and Nadine were the proud parents of four children - D.
Brandon Johnson, Valorie J. Parker (Brad), Trent T. Johnson, and Todd F.
Johnson (Erin) - and raised their family in Salt Lake City. Over time, they were
blessed with 12 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. Nadine planned
reunions and get-togethers, took fun family road trips, and taught her
children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren Christmas songs on her set of
handbells. <br /></p>
Nadine had a talent for making the world around her more beautiful. She
graduated from the Salt Lake School of Design and later worked as an interior
designer at Ethan Allen. She loved to garden and adorn her house and yard with
beautiful plants and flowers. She appreciated the beauty of the world around
her and enjoyed vacationing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and taking scenic drives
in Southern Utah. <br />
<br />
Nadine cherished her membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints and served in Primary, Young Women's, Relief Society and as a Cub Scout
Leader and Stake Dance Director. She also enjoyed deep and enduring friendships
which added color and brought joy to her life. Nadine's life was particularly
enriched by her decades-long friendship with Joan Ashton. <br />
<br />
Funeral services for Nadine were held on Saturday, October 28, 2023 at 11:00 am
with a visitation at 10:00 am.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is
interred at Tonaquint Cemetery.<p></p>

faithful member of the Bloomington 7<sup>th</sup> Ward slipped peacefully into
eternity on Monday, October 9, 2023, in her Vintage home surrounded by family. </span><p></p><p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Born in December 1926 to Archibald Wesley and Sarah Sylvia Stewart
Jensen, Betty loved growing up in Spanish Fork, UT where she participated in
many small-town celebrations with decorated bicycles and children pulling
wagons in parades. As an adult, Betty continued to love celebrating patriotic
holidays and honored her pioneer heritage, serving many years as a member of the
Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (DUP) organization in which her artistic talent
brightened many luncheons and parties. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In Spanish Fork, she attended Thurber Elementary School, Roosevelt
Jr. High School (where she began developing skills as a seamstress) and East
High School where she learned to type and worked to further refine her sewing
skills. She graduated from East High School in the summer of 1944, with
ceremonies held coincidentally in Kingsbury Hall. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">At the end of 1944, she accepted a position at the Bureau of
Reclamation where she worked until afshe was married and expecting her first
child in 1947.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She later worked at Hill
Air Force Base where she applied her bookkeeping skills. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In California, she became known as the popcorn
lady at Byrd Jr. High School and was a positive influence to everyone around
her while working at Security Pacific National Bank in Glendale, CA.</span></p>

and a friend were on their way to a dance when two nice young men invited
themselves along.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Betty always said she could
tell this tall blonde “Jack” wanted to be her dance partner and later he
confessed that was his plan. She and Jack were married three months later on October
18, 1946.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ceremony in Kaysville, UT was
performed in the home of Judge Major’s home with the judge’s wife and son as
witnesses. The judge’s family was getting ready to go deer hunting and had
their rifles in plain view ready until they could be loaded into their truck. To
some, it might have looked like a shotgun wedding, but it wasn’t. Jack and
Betty spent their 2-day honeymoon at the Ben Lomond Hotel in Ogden, Utah with
nothing more than $20 between them. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple in
October 1949. They were parents to Larry J. Kingsbury, Lynn J. Kingsbury, Nancy
Kingsbury Anderson, and David J Kingsbury. </span></p>

Salt Lake City, UT. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1960, Jack’s job transferred
the family to 13200 Community Street in Sun Valley, CA where they lived for
more than 30 years before retiring to St. George, UT in 1990.</span></p>

children to Primary, made dolls and pillows for church bazaars and organized
endless records as secretary in the Church’s auxiliaries. Cub Scouts and Merrie
Miss Girls enriched her life and in turn, she influenced these young men and
women for good. Her hands were never idle and her craft projects, oil
paintings, and counted cross stitch creations grace the homes of her many friends
and family members. She documented family milestones with photographs and
scrapbooks. Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all have
samples of her handwritten letters and original cards which evidenced her
special attention to detail and her personal touch. She seldom visited anyone without
bringing her freshly baked and tasty raisin chocolate chip cookies or snickerdoodles.</span></p>

Illinois. She had always wanted to go back east, and Chicago became her jumping
off point. Those first trips to Chicago were the first of hundreds of road
trips she enjoyed throughout her life including exploring new continents with
Jack. Every new adventure broadened her horizons and increased her circle of
friends. Often, they would invite a grandchild to come along and afterwards a
unique book capturing those moments through photographs would be created filled
with their memories of the trip. </span></p>

transformed with sparkling decorations and the smell and taste of her delicious
confections. Her homemade chocolate covered cherries and nuts were legendary
and she generously donated thousands to the Festival of Trees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>

path? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had an unwavering testimony of
a Father in Heaven who loves her enough He sent His Son to die for us. She knew
of His love and wanted to share it through her tireless actions. </span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: small;">Vicki, the oldest – and only girl – of five children born to
Richard Ward Cox and Kenna Robertson Cox came into the world on a beautiful spring
day in 1942. She adored her four little – and very energetic brothers – and was
actively involved in the LDS church, 4-H Club, school, and community activities.
</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: small;">In the 8th grade she was selected as the queen of the South Emery Annual
Jr. Prom. Vicki played the clarinet in the South Emery Band, she was Treasurer
of the FHA Chapter, modeled five costumes at the Fashion Show, acted as Junior

Contests, Dressmaking Contest and Modeling for three years. Vicki was involved
with the American Legion Auxiliary and enjoyed attending Girls State with her
friends. She played softball and participated with her church group in
welfare projects. Her passion has always been sewing. Vicki had a group
of friends she grew up with and maintained contact with throughout the years.
Every summer Vicki, along with her brothers and cousins would help out at
Grandpa Robertson’s sawmill. <span> </span>When she
was 14, she lost her 12-year-old brother Earl in a tragic accident at his
Grandpa Robertson’s mine. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: small;">Vicki married Kelly Kofford and they had two children, Sherry and
Richard. They were later divorced. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: small;">She returned to college and obtained her bachelor’s degree in
education. She moved to St. George and began a 27-year career teaching 3<sup>rd</sup>
and 4<sup>th</sup> graders at Sunset Elementary School. Vicki loved
learning and continued her education until she earned a Master’s Degree plus 50
educational credits. Vicki loved being a teacher and made many wonderful
friends with faculty and students. She looked out for her students who
struggled and cared for those with special needs. She left a lasting
impression on everyone. During this time, she became a grandma and always
looked forward to the grandkids being old enough to ‘help her’ in the classroom
during the summer year-round school. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: small;">In 1994 she married Marvin Dove, who she referred to as the love
of her life. They were sealed in the temple on October 7, 1995. Vicki and
Marvin enjoyed camping, boating, fishing, riding four wheelers, and spending
time with the kids, grandkids, and great-grands. Vicki was an active
member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In addition,
she loved being involved with the senior dance group Prime Time performers and
traveled the world with them. She loved being with others and was a member
of a book club, exercise group, friendship group, sunset friend’s group.
Her passion for sewing continued when she joined the quilting club and
Quilting Guild, where she entered many of her beautiful master pieces.
Vicki worked tirelessly to make members of her family and others she
loved specialized quilts. She won the Judges Choice at the Washington
County Fair. Vicki was also an accomplished baker and made beautiful
cakes for weddings and special occasions. Not only were they detailed and
gorgeous, they were also delicious. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: small;">Vicki loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren
more than anything in this world. To know her was to love her and she
will be truly missed. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: small;">Vicki is preceded in death by her parents, Ward and Kenna Cox;
along with brothers: Earl, Wilford, Robert (Bob), and Dan. She was
heartbroken when she lost her son, Richard Kofford.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: small;">She is survived by her husband, Marvin Dove; daughter, Sherry
Maxwell; along with Marvin’s children: Steven (Patricia) Dove, Jana (Roy) Wong,

Kofford, Alex Kofford; stepchildren: Charles (Julieann) Vuki, Kali Vuki; and
daughter-in-law/close friend, Lecia (Kurt) Lawson.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: small;">Together they had 32 Grandchildren and 16 Great-grandchildren.
Vicki and Marvin always looked forward to the summers when Mandy Vigil and the
girls Alivia Ibanez and Kenadi Ibanez came to stay. She taught all the
girls (Mandy, Kali, Alivia, Kenadi) to sew. Vicki and Marvin helped take
care of the ones who lived nearby - Charles Vuki, Kali Vuki, Andrew Kofford,
Alex Kofford, Jayden Harney, Trey Harney, Kylan Harney, and Reilly Dove.
They had an extra special bond with Reilly and she loved her relationship
with him. He really helped take care of his grandma during the past few
months. Vicki wanted to watch her great-grand kids grow up and loved
frequent visits from Koda Kofford, Billy Kofford, Kason Sansavera, and the “triplets”,
Jax, Bridger, and Jace Sansavera. There are SO SO many nieces, nephews,
and their kids that need to know she loved them all deeply as well. She
was so proud of her family. </span></p>

15, 2023, surrounded by his family. He
was born June 27, 1941, in Rigby, Idaho at the home of his Grandma and Grandpa
Jones.</span>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Lynn came to earth with a strong will, a quick wit, and
keen mind which helped him through many challenges in his life.
Lynn learned to work hard and play hard on the farm with his
grandparents and cousins. Lynn attended school in Preston, Idaho, and
graduated from Preston High School in 1960. Lynn served a two-year
mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the East Central
United States. His natural charisma and love of the Lord’s work allowed him to
connect with people in a unique and special way. </span></b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Lynn caught the eye of Sharon Taylor, a beautiful girl from
<span>Grace, Idaho with his fast car and fast talking. Their first date
was on Memorial Day in 1964, and they were soon married, on September 25, 1964,
in the Logan Temple. Lynn and Sharon welcomed six children into their
home. Lynn taught by example how to dream big and work hard and was first
to tout the academic, professional, and personal accomplishments of his
children.</span></span></b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Lynn worked hard to provide for his family and wasn’t
afraid to try new things. He always had a big idea, a deal to make, or
something to sell. However, Lynn’s greatest love was truck driving. He
accrued millions of miles of safe driving under his belt and was honored to be
the first driver to pull triple trailers across the state of Washington.
After retirement, Lynn purchased and operated his own small fleet of trucks.</span></b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Lynn is survived by his wife, Sharon McLing, his six children,
18 grands and 5 greats (with 2 more on the way). </span></b></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Funeral services will be held Friday, June 23, 2023 at

the 181st anniversary of this amazing and perhaps largest women's organization
in the world, when on the evening of Thursday, April 6 we met and learned more
about "The Women Who Knew Jesus." Elizabeth was portrayed by Donna
Rasmussen, Martha was Kristin Anderson, the wife of the innkeeper was Lindsay
Ruiz, the mother of Joseph was Val Stanley, the mother of Mary was Kathleen
Tobler and the mother of Jesus was beautifully presented by Tiffany Thomas. </span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times;"> We all enjoyed the light dinner, beautiful musical solos by
Sisters Amy Woodstock and Briette Peterson, and a special quartet featuring
Jill Jones, Sarah Kerr, Kim Jorgensen and Patti Hymas. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times;">Thanks to all who were part of the planning and preparation.
Special thanks to event chair Lesa Day and her committee including Val Stanley,
Chardell Wilkes, Gloria Johnson, Kaylynn Gorder, Kayla Nichols, Tracy Ball,
Patti Hymas, Kim Galvin, Shirley Ann Kohler, Angie Maldonado and Nichole Day,
Koryn Mafi, and Penelope Andrade.</span></span></p>

62. She was born on March 4, 1960, to Larry and Joan (Glasscock) Routt in
Joliet, Illinois where Terri lived for a good portion of her life. </span><span>
</span></span></span></span><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span>In 1987, Terri met Bill (aka “Mac”) Macdonald at an Alcoholics Anonymous
meeting. They were married in 1989, lived in Joliet for ten years then made a home
together in New Harmony, Utah where they lived until 2015 before moving to
Saint George. </span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span>
</span></span></span></span><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span>Terri grew up in an abusive home with alcoholic parents so when she and Mac heard
the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, they did not hesitate to join this “family
of saints” and together were baptized members of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints on September 16, 2006. A year later they were sealed for time
and eternity in the Saint George Temple. </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span>Terri graduated from Dixie State University’s nursing school in 2006 with a
Bachelor of Science degree then went on to earn a master’s degree from Walden
University from which she graduated Magna Cum Laude.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But as much as she enjoyed working at Intermountain
Health for two decades, her two sons Rick and Ryan were her pride and joy. </span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span>
</span></span></span></span><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span>Terri was honored with the Nursing Excellence Award in 2013 and the
Intermountain Healthcare Hero Award in 2018. In her 20 years at (now) St. George Regional,
she worked hard to make a difference in the hospital experience for everyone
she met or served.</span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span>
</span></span></span></span><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span>She was a huge fan of the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears and Disneyland. She
loved all children and enjoyed making them feel they were the most important
thing in her life, because they were. She was very protective of children not
wanting any other child to be subjected to the abuse she experienced as a
child. Her favorite calling in the
Church was teaching in the Primary. </span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span>

Gone Wild” - could often be found outdoors hiking, camping, or watching her
grandkids play sports. She loved traveling the country; annual trips to Disneyland
or cruises with her cousins and "Ginger" Terri and Mac’s newest
pup. </span><span>
</span></span></span></span><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span>Terri was loving and trusting; believed most people were good, smart,
hardworking, protective of those who needed her strength, marched to the beat

away shortly after midnight on August 23, 2022 at the Birch Creek Assisted
Living in Smithfield, Utah with her husband and daughter by her side.<p></p>
<p>Elaine was born December 10, 1930 in Preston, Idaho. She was the third of
four children born to Nathan and Eva Hale. She grew up at the Utah Power and
Light Company town of Grace, Idaho. She attended schools locally graduating
from Grace High School then attended Idaho State University where she met Ralph
Tucker on a blind date. They were married on December 23, 1950 and later sealed
in the Idaho Falls Temple. Elaine and Ralph enjoyed 71 years together and were
blessed with three children, six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.</p>
<p>Elaine was a homemaker. She was the hostess with the mostest with a cute pixie haircut and ready smile. She loved to
entertain and cook. Her wonderful food was lovingly prepared and abundantly
shared. Elaine’s homemade candy and sweet cream rolls are legendary!</p>
<p> Elaine had a tremendous work ethic and discipline. She walked four miles a
day for decades, followed by pool aerobics and back exercises. She was
extremely talented. Her hands were never idle always creating, crafting,
sewing, cleaning and ironing.</p>
<p>Elaine had endless energy and gave 110% to all she did. She donated her time
in many charitable organizations and clubs, some in which she held leadership
roles. She was a loving and caring friend. She made lifelong friendships during
her many moves with her husband Ralph. She lit up when she was in a room full
of people. She was loved by all and will be missed deeply.</p>
<p>She is survived by her husband Ralph, sons; Ralph Lynn (Barbra), UT., Tracy
(Charly), CA., Terri (Charley), WA., six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her parents Nathan and Eva Hale, sisters Raedene
Rhoads, Bobbie Harris and brother Nathan Hale.</p><p>Rest in peace, dear Sister Elaine. </p><p></p>

Hendershot, graduated from Dixie High School on May 27 and entered the
Missionary Training Center two short months later on August 29, 2022 to fulfill
a calling to serve in the Missouri St. Louis Mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He doesn’t consider his to be a “super
exotic” mission field, but he feels certain it is where the Lord needs him; and,
he’s been there before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“When I attended
'Especially for Youth' last summer, we toured many of the Church
history sites, including those in Ohio, New York, Philadelphia … and Missouri,” notes the
young missionary.<p></p>
<p>The early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in
Missouri is well documented, including a prophesy in 1831 when then Church
President Joseph Smith declared Independence, Missouri, as the gathering spot
for the Church. The subsequent influx of “Mormons” to Jackson County raised
concern among residents and mobs drove 1200 from the area. In 1834, Joseph
Smith and 150-200 armed men (known as Zion's Camp) arrived to protect the
members still in and around Independence, but a storm prevented the
confrontation.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitvldPtTbiu6RqHUo8-n9okwqjB5v4Xesn4n8E-8ME6T54XFMq2G6I2bzAUl_dMCikUUW6EQaGC79QyU0GcYUBh7mkaW55HHKr-WWUxRppSHT_px0Dzm9GUhF4dfk3fMIUJ67iqfmnZZ3qkNa29hKSL2-Qgn2A3nltOnFlH1FaSzmr6kjN4RFa6_Xg/s1280/st-louis-temple-lds-766941-wallpaper.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="800" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitvldPtTbiu6RqHUo8-n9okwqjB5v4Xesn4n8E-8ME6T54XFMq2G6I2bzAUl_dMCikUUW6EQaGC79QyU0GcYUBh7mkaW55HHKr-WWUxRppSHT_px0Dzm9GUhF4dfk3fMIUJ67iqfmnZZ3qkNa29hKSL2-Qgn2A3nltOnFlH1FaSzmr6kjN4RFa6_Xg/w265-h424/st-louis-temple-lds-766941-wallpaper.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>Latter-day Saints then found refuge in Clay, Caldwell, and Daviess Counties.
By 1838, Far West had become Church headquarters with homes, hotels, a printing
house, and school but violence again erupted in Gallatin, when members were denied
the right to vote.
<p>The exaggerated rumors about Church members ultimately led to a literal
extermination order from Governor Lilburn W. Boggs in 1838. Eighteen men and
boys died at Haun's Mill and on 31 October, Joseph Smith was arrested, and the
next day sentenced to death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Brig. Gen.
A.W. Doniphan was ordered to carry out the order … but refused. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p>Between 12,000 - 15,000 Church members fled to western Illinois in 1839 and
established the city of Nauvoo on the Mississippi River. Several others moved
to the more tolerant St. Louis, where many more members eventually came from
Nauvoo. In the late 1850s, many left for Utah to gather with the Saints, but it
was not until June 1976 – 138 years later - when the extermination order was
rescinded by then-Governor Christopher S. Bond.</p>
<p>Today, Missouri has a Church membership of more than 75,375 in 18
stakes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Elder Hendershot will serve in
one of two missions in the state (the other is Missouri Independence).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though public sentiment has prevented the
construction of a temple in Independence, there are two temples in Missouri …
the first built in Kansas City and the second in the community known as Town
and Country, a suburb of St. Louis.</p><p>May the Lord be with you, Elder Hendershot. We look forward to hearing about your missionary experiences. <br /></p><p><style>@font-face

Sacrament meeting on Sunday, July 31 then began a week of "at home" MTC
on Monday, August 1, 2022 followed by two weeks in Provo. <span style="background-attachment: scroll; background-color: white; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="background-attachment: scroll; background-color: white; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline;">In
1850, when the first Latter-day Saint missionaries reached Hawai‘i, the
islands were still an independent kingdom with a mostly native Hawaiian
population. George Q. Cannon, one of the early missionaries to the
islands, was particularly eager to learn the Hawaiian language. In the
early 1850s he and an early Hawaiian convert, Jonathan Nāpela, worked
together to translate the Book of Mormon into Hawaiian, which was the
first time the book was translated into a non-European language.</span></span>

Hawaiians embraced the gospel. By the 1870s, more than 4,000 Hawaiians had joined the Church. Because the death of many Hawaiians due to
disease had led to laws restricting emigration, instead of gathering to
Utah the Hawaiian Saints established gathering places on the
islands—first in Lāna‘i, then in Lā‘ie. The first stake outside North
America was organized on O‘ahu in 1935.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p data-aid="141322276" id="p3" style="margin: 0in 0in 10.65pt;"><span style="background-attachment: scroll; background-color: white; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-variant-numeric: inherit;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: inherit;"><span style="font-stretch: inherit;"><span style="--height: 252px;">As
Hawai‘i’s population became more diverse, so did general Church
membership. In the early 20th century, for example, a Japanese mission
was established in Hawai‘i, and work among Japanese Hawaiians
flourished. In the 1950s the Church established a college—now Brigham
Young University–Hawaii—in Lā‘ie with a mission to bring together
students from around the world. A second temple, in Kona, was dedicated
in 2000. By 2018 there were nearly 75,000 Latter-day Saints in Hawai‘i,
organized into 16 stakes, the highest concentration of LDS members after those states bordering Utah.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p>The Hawaii Laie Mission, the church's 408th, opened in January 2022 with
missionaries assigned to the Temple Visitor Center and/or at the Polynesian Cultural Center. <br /></p><p>The Laie
Hawaii Temple, the oldest operating LDS temple outside of Utah, was
dedicated in November 1919 by Heber J. Grant. The Kona Hawaii Temple,
the islands' second temple located on the "Big Island" of Hawaii was
dedicated in January 2000 by President Gordon B.

Edwin Eschler and Mildred Belnap Evans. He grew up in Salt Lake City and later
Denver, CO as the eldest son of his parents’ eight children. He was an active
youth, captaining his high school basketball and track teams, and studying and
working hard from an early age. From 1969-1971, he served a mission to South
Korea for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Before and after his
mission he studied at Brigham Young University (BYU), where he met his
sweetheart Mary Jean (Jeannie) Murdock. They were sealed for time and all
eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple of the Church on August 14, 1972, and
together welcomed five children into the world.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">At home, he was a loving, dedicated companion to his wife and an
example of gospel living to his children. His family knew him for his energy,
creativity, work ethic, humor, testimony, and his love of family togetherness,
such as family home evenings and road trip vacations. He supported his
children’s educational and extracurricular endeavors, enthusiastically
attending activities whenever possible. Meaningful holidays such as
Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas afforded him opportunities to
joyfully share poetry and family heritage, including passing on traditions which
honored the occasion. Most significantly, he was determined to have his posterity
grow up in the light of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. For as long as he
lived, every Sunday found him in church with his family, and he loved family
gospel learning. Even in later years, he taught, encouraged, and showed his
love for his grandchildren through a weekly letter that included everything
from clever puns to unique history facts to meaningful spiritual lessons.
Nothing brought him greater satisfaction than to know his family was well and
happy in the gospel.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; padding: 0in;"> </span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; padding: 0in;"> </span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; padding: 0in;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvZ4HoE2drMcFiIyMLL0l4VJ8Td9O_NxbBDAN-_j49FqtBUJAnVANAT3JlKAXDDKmbOHbZvwlM4ybhwNEYnu1u2nSx6_SoECDpTGnLawpsjrqxW2nn3SwcJARMb-7Z8hs7jf0yafYQRqo3OFW2ZHN8Wc92eBndSVp0s8EC3aLB5s1SJjUczn0WnN1Y/s853/274082501_4885563478195139_4059444939122421580_n-2.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="640" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvZ4HoE2drMcFiIyMLL0l4VJ8Td9O_NxbBDAN-_j49FqtBUJAnVANAT3JlKAXDDKmbOHbZvwlM4ybhwNEYnu1u2nSx6_SoECDpTGnLawpsjrqxW2nn3SwcJARMb-7Z8hs7jf0yafYQRqo3OFW2ZHN8Wc92eBndSVp0s8EC3aLB5s1SJjUczn0WnN1Y/w290-h388/274082501_4885563478195139_4059444939122421580_n-2.jpg" width="290" /></a></div>Howard realized great achievements in his professional career,
beginning with a double major in physics and chemical engineering from BYU in
1974 followed by a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Caltech in 1979, with
inductions into Sigma Pi Sigma and the Physics and Astronomy Honor Society. As
an early-career professional, he was awarded numerous scientific patents,
formally recognized for his outstanding teaching, and served on advisory
positions in physics and chemical engineering at the University of Texas and
the University of Colorado. After many dedicated years in senior engineering
and executive leadership positions at IBM and 3M corporations, he served as the
founding academic Dean of the School of Engineering and Technology for National
University in San Diego, launching multiple new programs. He finished his
career at Cal Poly Pomona as Dean of the College of the Extended University and
International Center, which afforded him many opportunities for outreach and
international student engagement in China and South Korea—an opportunity he
treasured to help young people and spread goodwill abroad. In all these
capacities, he was widely recognized for his talent, intellect, integrity,
energy and organization, and his warm and lively sense of humor.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Howard was a lifelong active member of The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints and loved to serve and attend church. In all his
years of life, he devoted himself whole-heartedly to honoring church
responsibilities, serving others, and striving to be an example of Jesus Christ.
He always recognized the importance of each service opportunity, whether it was
in priesthood leadership, teaching the gospel at home or abroad, helping others
in temporal or spiritual needs, or nurturing the testimonies of children and
youth.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; padding: 0in;"> </span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; padding: 0in;"> </span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj60W9WBPs5E_Fim_bQZMUpV4lDgNBpSgmd-ORWrljIIfcj7AybozzMNyGHeULyOo5UgCPxPafAsPoN60nJeLTJxLAFCgT9XBxbKLeKwxlDb1h4u74hAkKGoydoRO_KnBNorOYHKQSifVQNoWOwv54KRtm5R9exj0GReHHT_2gA7m10JVjy3q9XucO1/s1080/thumbnail.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj60W9WBPs5E_Fim_bQZMUpV4lDgNBpSgmd-ORWrljIIfcj7AybozzMNyGHeULyOo5UgCPxPafAsPoN60nJeLTJxLAFCgT9XBxbKLeKwxlDb1h4u74hAkKGoydoRO_KnBNorOYHKQSifVQNoWOwv54KRtm5R9exj0GReHHT_2gA7m10JVjy3q9XucO1/s320/thumbnail.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; padding: 0in;">He is survived by a loving family, including his wife, Mary Jean

The water was refreshing, the conversation pleasant and the soda and Creamy bars were tasty. This was the first ward pool party since the summer of 2019. Thanks to all who helped plan the event as well as to those who participated.</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
