Obituary: The Salt Lake Tribune, Thursday, 4 Dec 2003:

Gwen Day Pratt Latterner
"Gwenie"

     PARK CITY - Gwen was born on May 7, 1928 in Fillmore, Utah, to John A.
and Cora Robison Day.

     She passed away peacefully on Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2003 in Salt Lake City,
surrounded by her children.

     Gwen married Wayne E. Pratt in 1946. They had four children and moved the
family to Park City in the winter of 1961.

     Gwen loved Park City and was deeply involved in the schools, Girl and Boy
Scouting and the community. A talented and accomplished seamstress, Gwen made
all of the clothes her daughters wore. A wonderful homemaker and a gracious
hostess, her home was always open to friends and neighbors. She loved sunsets,
wildflowers and the birds that would flock to her feeders. She gave her
children and grandchildren that gift, to see the beauty and wonder of nature.

     After her divorce, Gwen met and married the love of her life, Charles
Latterner, in 1977. They lived in New York until Charles retired, then
returned to Park City opening the Old Town Gallery on Main Street. They were
well known and loved by many friends.

     Gwen is survived by her daughters: Cally (Dennis) Leatham; Dori Pratt
(Tom Pettigrew); Valerie (Patrick) Park; son, Gregory (Robin) Pratt;
stepdaughter, Gretchen (David) Kline; stepson, Charles Latterner Jr. Also,
survived by her sister, LuDean (Carlile) Peterson, and brother, Rex (Lucy)
Day; 10 grandchildren and one great-grandson.

     She is preceded in death by her husband, Charles Latterner and her
brother, Howard Day. The family would like to express our gratitude to Gwen's
doctor, James Wood, and his staff for the care they gave our mother. We will
deeply miss this spirited, diminutive and very sweet woman. 

     A memorial service to honor Gwen will be held Saturday, December 6, 2003
- 2:00 p.m. in the Cresent Room at the Treasure Mountain Inn, 255 Main Street,
Park City. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the
Alzheimer's Association of Utah, 845 E. 4800 So., Suite 120, Salt Lake City,
Utah 84107.
