visits from each of her devoted sons.  Theora found the love of her life at
age 16, and married him September 4, 1937. They were sealed in the Salt Lake
Temple in March 1956. There could never be any doubt about the love shared by
these two sweethearts for 67 years. Their undying devotion to their marriage
and each other has set the model and standard for their family. When Lloyd
died in June, Theora's heart went with him. Her passing is softened with the
knowledge that she has joined Lloyd. Theora loved to be around good friends
through Birthday, Sewing and Quilting Clubs. She and Lloyd also enjoyed any
kind of dance, but most especially square dancing. They bowled together on a
variety of bowling leagues. Theora was a faithful member of the Church of

service for nine years as temple workers at the Jordan River Temple. Theora

SL Tennis Club, and managed the Golfer's Halfway House at the Salt Lake
Country Club for over two decades. "Teddy" was loved by her customers. Theora
will be revered as a wife, mother and grandmother. Her delight in showing love
through her cooking - sugar cookies, divinity, meatloaf or Teddy-burgers - was
legendary. She was an avid sports enthusiast, which was a "plus" while raising
four active boys. Her support at their games continued by attending her
grandsons' "Hammer Strength" games regularly. She is preceded in death by her

and husband, Lloyd. She is survived by her brothers, Devearl and Glenn

Hedman, Norma Marie
Norma Marie Hedman 1938 ~ 2004   St. GEORGE, UTAH - N. Marie Hedman, age 66,
passed away November 1, 2004, in St. George, UT, after a prolonged illness.  
She was born August 28, 1938, in Cardston, Alberta, Canada, to Bertrand
Richard Godfrey and Rosezella Glenn Godfrey.    When Marie was approximately
one-year old, her family moved to Northern Utah where she was raised and
educated. She attended elementary and secondary schools in Midvale, UT, was a
graduate of Jordan High School, received an Associates of Arts degree from the
University of Utah, and a Bachelor's Degree from Brigham Young University. She
married Paul Hedman on May 29, 1957, in the Salt Lake Temple. Over their 47
years of marriage, she lived with her husband and children in many locations
across the United States: Van Nuys, Woodland Hills, and Redlands, CA; Brigham
City, Orem, and Provo, UT; Arlington, VA; Gaithersburg, MD; and Dayton, OH.
She and her husband retired to St. George, UT, in 2001. Marie was an active
member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where she served in
many callings, including approximately 30 combined years as ward choir
director in many different wards across the United States. Marie loved to
teach and was a certified elementary school teacher.  One of her most
memorable teaching experiences was when she taught "I Am a Child of God" to
the K-8th grades in Saint Luke's Parochial School in the Washington D.C. area. 
Marie also enjoyed adventures, like traveling cross-country in an old
Volkswagen with only an 11-year-old boy as a navigator. And then there was the
time when Marie and Damon's flight into Washington D.C. was diverted to Dulles
Airport where it was met by many emergency vehicles with red lights flashing.
An unscheduled landing where the pilot came into the cabin reading his
instruction book had preceded this. Then there was the tornado watch!  Marie
loved her family very much and worried constantly over their welfare. She has
influenced many individuals for good, particularly her husband, who considered
her his best friend and sweetheart for more than 50 years.  She will be
greatly missed.   Surviving family include her husband, Paul Hedman, St.
George, UT; sisters, Marion (Gordon) Glover, St. George, UT; and Kathleen
