Cohne. She graduated from East High School and the University of Southern
California. At USC, she was Military Editor of The Daily Trojan and
Editor-in-Chief of Wampus Magazine. She also co-founded the first college

co-composed the first original USC musical production, and served as the

college, Lynn moved to the East Coast, where she was Junior Executive in the
Democratic National Committee 1944 presidential campaign and then White House
and Congressional Liaison for the Democratic National Committee. She knew
Presidents Roosevelt and Truman and worked directly with President Truman. She
also volunteered at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as an entertainer. Lynn
always said that she married "the greatest human ever," Marvin Arent. They
were married on March 26, 1950 and together they produced two fabulous
daughters, Patrice Arent and Shereen Arent. Lynn was "super proud" of
grandchildren Sarah Mulhern, Josh Lipman, Avi Wolfman-Arent, and Hannah
Wolfman-Arent and of sons-in-law Brian Wolfman and Art Lipman. Lynn wrote, "I
have been a blessed woman, loved by caring parents who taught me that I could
accomplish any goal. I have been loved by my very best friend and companion,
Marv, and blessed by caring and outstanding children and grandchildren who are
committed to helping humanity."  With partner Marv Arent, Lynn founded Arent's

business and after retirement. She told friends that she visited London
countless times and never saw "The Mousetrap", visited Copenhagen and never
went to Tivoli Gardens, visited Hong Kong and never bought anything, visited
Orlando and never went to Disney World   but totally enjoyed the natural and
man-made wonders the world over. Lynn's wisdom, humor, and loving spirit
guided all of those around her, and made all of those she loved and worked
with much better people. In addition to her husband, daughters, and
grandchildren, Lynn is survived by her brother Robert Cohne, brothers-in-law
Dal Siegel and Albert Arent, and sisters-in-law Colleen Cohne and Sonia Cohne.

Creer, James Read
James Read Creer 1942 ~ 2004  James Read Creer, age 62, returned home to his
Heavenly Father December 8, 2004 after a long courageous battle with cancer. 
Jim was born October 26, 1942, to Harold and Geraldine Jacob-son Creer in
Ogden, UT. Upon graduating from Og-den High, Jim joined the U.S. Marine Corps.
He wanted a challenge, and the Marine Corps laid within him a great foundation
of discipline. He went on to receive a Bachelor's of Science degree in
accounting from the University of Utah. He then became a licensed CPA, and
practiced many years before joining Johnstone Supply. His hard work and
expertise earned him the respect and loyalty of many associates. Jim met the
love of his life, Carolyn Rudd. After a whirlwind courtship, they were married
and later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. Jim was a longtime member of the
South Salt Lake Rotary Club, serving as club president during 1988-89. He was
an honorary Colonel for the South Salt Lake Police Department. His love of
children and the desire to champion them led Jim to the Children's Justice
Center where he served on the board for several years. As a professional, as
well as in his personal life, Jim was a man of integrity. One could always
count on his complete honesty in any given situation. He was always fair, ever
wise. Jim loved adventure. He loved to travel and saw much of the world,
always appreciating the people's cultures of each journey. He loved to hunt,
fish, whether behind the cabin in the river, or from his boat on the lake. Jim
was a voracious reader. He loved the arts and all fine things. He and Carolyn
loved attending the symphony together, and Jim loved to have Carolyn sing and
play the piano for him. Out of a desire to expose his children to culture, he
began a tradition of taking all the girls in the family to the Nutcracker
every December. His family was the most important thing in Jim's life. He
sacrificed much for our benefit, always encouraged us to do our best. His
relationship with each one of us was of great value to him, and he was
continually improving and strengthening them. He had a very special
relationship with his parents. Jim was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints. He had a strong and abiding testimony of the gospel,
which was only strengthened during his last two and a half trying years. He
was a member of the Sunday School presidency, gospel doctrine teacher,
counselor in two bishoprics, stake auditor and an active, devoted home
teacher. He served an inner-city mission with his wife Carolyn for 18 months
during 1998-1999. He dearly loved the people he served. Jim is survived by his
parents Harold and Geraldine Creer; sister Diane (Mike) Moyes; his loving
wife, Carolyn; children, Wendy (Dan) Harman, Kellie (Kerry) Matticks, Mark
(Julie) Creer, Jennifer (Brady) Eberhard, Angie (Tyson) Larsen, Chad (Ashley)
Rogers, Douglas Rogers, Michael Rogers and Jason Rogers; 17 grandchildren who
will forever miss their Grandpa; many nieces and nephews, and extended family.
Preceded in death by his brother David. We wish to thank the many people who
aided in Jim's care. Special thanks to Dr. John Ward. We as a family are
profoundly grateful for the many prayers that were offered in Jim's behalf. We
will miss you, dear husband, father, and grandpa, son, brother, and friend,
and look forward to seeing you again. In lieu of flowers, please send
donations to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Funeral Services for Jim will be
held on Monday December 13, 2004 at 12:00 noon at the Grandview Ward, 2930
South 2000 East. Friends may call on Sunday evening from 6-8 p.m. at the

Elwell, E.L. "Bud"
E.L. "Bud" Elwell "Buddy Boy" 4/25/12 ~ 12/8/04  Bud Elwell, our loving
husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend
passed away peacefully at the age of 92 in Logan, Utah, on December 8, 2004.
He was born April 25, 1912, in Preston, Idaho, to Isaac Elwell III and Francis
Louisa Carter. He graduated from Preston High School and it was during this
time that his love of retail was born. He began his career sweeping floors at
the local store to help his family and went on to become the CEO of American
Stores. Throughout his distinguished career he was the recipient of numerous
business awards. In January of 1935, he married  Venita Callan in Preston,
Idaho. They built a wonderful life together and had one son, Stephen. They
shared a love of travel and took many memorable trips with family and friends.
Venita passed away on November 8, 1984, and on July 2, 1992, he married Mary
Lin Neeley. Bud was a mentor to many throughout his life and gained the
admiration and respect of all who knew him. He was a shining example that
through hard work and determination, anything can be achieved. Countless
numbers of people have benefited from the advice and words of wisdom that Bud
has shared over the years. One of the greatest lessons we have learned from
him is the importance of generosity. He was instrumental in providing a
college education for numerous people, and sent many young men and women on
LDS missions. And, of course, he was a constant source of support for Preston,
his hometown that was so dear to him. We are so lucky to have the memories of
time spent with Buddy Boy. A favorite pastime was summers at the cabin.
Fishing, relaxing, and eating were always the events of the day- and with Bud
in the kitchen no one left hungry. His greatest joy was spending time with his
beloved Heidi and Jeff. He was more than just a grandfather to them, he was a
constant beacon of light. He was so proud to watch them grow into such fine
people. And in recent years, his great-grandchildren brought him a special
kind of  happiness. The greatest gift Bud received in the latter part of his
life was certainly Mary Lin. She provided love, comfort, and care like no one
else could. Her daughters, Kathy and Carol and their families, also brought a
daily dose of love and happiness. We are forever grateful to them for their
endless devotion. Buddy Boy was a pillar of strength to his family and we were
blessed to have had him for 92 wonderful years, and wish so badly that he
could have made it to his goal of 100. He died as he lived, with a quiet grace
and dignity, and we are so proud of how hard he worked to try to stay a little
longer. We take much comfort in knowing he is at peace. Although he is gone,
we will never forget his love and devotion to us and we promise to keep his
memory and example alive forever. He is survived by his wife, Mary Lin;
step-daughters, Kathy (Bob) Allan, Carol (Todd) Crowl; a daughter-in-law,
Shari Elwell Tavey; granddaughter, Heidi (Mike) Richmond; grandson, Jeff
(Angela) Elwell; daughter-in-law, Jackie Elwell; granddaughter, Dena Elwell; a
grandson, Daniel Elwell; a brother, Donald Elwell; sisters, Leora (Fred)
Evans, Conna Dursteler, and Gwen Jordan; numerous nieces and nephews, and 11
great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, by a
step-brother, Jack Carter, a sister, Norma Elwell, and by his son, Stephen
Elwell. Funeral services will be held on Monday, December 13, 2004, at 11:00
