Patricia Lee1930 ~2004  Patricia Ann Mason Lee died in Draper on December 14,

Herbert and Florence Mason, and married John F. Lee on Sept. 15, 1950 in
Arlington, Virginia, which marriage was solemnized the next year in the Salt
Lake LDS temple. Her husband survives her as do their children, Randall
(Corey) of Hyrum, Laurelei Lindsay (Sean) of Denver and Franklin (Jennifer) of
Lindon; five grandchildren, two brothers (Keith and Jay Mason) and a sister
(Yerda Payne) also survive. Pat graduated Idaho Falls High School in 1947 and
attended Brigham Young University where she was a class officer, a Cesta Tie,
the Cougarette leader, and later a member of the Alumni Board. She also
attended San Francisco State University and Rutgers University, where she
graduated in 1984 with high honors. While her husband attended school in
Washington, D.C., she served as an aide to Sen. Henry Dworshak (R-ID). The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was her spiritual guide through
life. She fulfilled many responsible callings in the Church, loved the Lord
and followed His precepts. Her best friends were always her Relief Society
sisters. She traveled the world extensively, both for pleasure and with her
husband on business. For 12 years, during their retirement, they lived at
Whalers Cove on the south coast of Kauai where Pat greatly enjoyed winter
visits from family and friends. She was an avid art collector, and her own
artistic ability was much admired. She excelled at handiwork, particularly
needlepoint and quilting. Friends and acquaintances sought her out for unique
designs and patterns. She read prodigiously, skied, played tennis and platform
tennis, liked acrostics, chess and bridge. Her husband and family loved her
tenderly and deeply, and she is mourned by a wide circle of friends, one of
whom with a casual remark once unintentionally pronounced her epitaph. He
said, "When Pat enters a room, she's the prettiest girl there." Indeed, she
walked with grace and beauty throughout her life. Complying with her explicit
instructions, her body was cremated, and her ashes strewn across the sagebrush
covered prairie of southern Idaho. In order to accommodate far-flung family
members and friends, a Memorial Service will be held on Wed., January 5, 2005

Peterson, Craig and Marla
In Memory Of Craig and Marla Peterson  The light that shines twice as bright
shines half as long. You traveled the globe while you were here but in the
end, who knew you both would travel so far away, so soon? Your flight, 10
years ago, took you to a destination you could not return from. The two of you
have missed so much: marriages, grandchildren, holidays but what you have
missed, is only a shadow to the feelings for those who miss you. As time
passes the children you knew have grown to become responsible adults who would
make you proud. As your children, we have been grateful for the caring friends
and family you were so close to who helped us grow. They have loved us,
treating us as if we were their own children. We miss you every moment of
every day.
