Obituary: The Salt Lake Tribune, Wednesday, 31 Dec 2003:

Grace Bunker Peterson
10/13/06 ~ 12/28/03

     Grace Bunker Peterson, 97, died Sunday, December 28, 2003 in Brigham
City, Utah.

     She was born Oct. 13, 1906 in Gunlock, UT to William Edward and Emma
Iverson Bunker. She moved to Delta in 1907 where her father built the first
brick home there. She graduated from Delta High School and later attended both
Henagers and LDS Business College, living in the Beehive House while it was a
boarding house for young ladies.

     She married Ervin Miller Peterson in the Salt Lake Temple Jan. 9, 1927.
He died in May 1993.

     Grace was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, having served in several auxiliaries of the church as well as on a
Stake Mission. She was a member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. Grace was
an extraordinarily ordinary woman who wore herself out in service to her
family and we celebrate her long, productive life. She will be greatly missed
by her family.

     The family would like to thank the staff at Pioneer Care Center and Utah
Heritage Hospice for their sweet and loving care.

     She is survived by a daughter, Caryl (John) Hepworth, Brigham City; sons
Douglas (Bev) Peterson, Murray, and Mark (Marci) Peterson, Lakebay, WA; 15
grandchildren, 47 great-grand-children, and eight great-great-grandchildren;
sisters, Jetta Hepworth and Dorothy Baker, both of Salt Lake City.

     She was preceded in death by her husband, three brothers, two sisters,
and one granddaughter.

     Graveside services will be held Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2003 at 12 Noon at
the Larkin Sunset Lawn Cemetery/Mortuary, 2350 E. 1300 So., where friends may
call Wed. one hour prior to the service.
