California. In 1937 the family moved to Salt Lake City and he entered East
High as a sophomore. In 1942 he enrolled at the University of Utah (he was a
proud member of Beta Theta Pi). He left the "U" to enter the Army Air Corp,
where he was a link trainer instructor at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas,
until 1945 when he was discharged. In February 1943 he married Helen Hope

especially Western and Utah art, and loved supporting The Utah Museum of Fine
Arts. He not only supported the arts, he was an artist of note; his best-known
piece was the original Mr. Spudnut. As important as the organizations that
Jack supported, were the numerous individuals that he also helped in one way
or another; many people benefited from his friendship and support. In 1998 he
began going with an old friend Mimi Mortensen. Mimi was his dear friend and
companion. In this new phase of his life he and Mimi went on many wonderful
adventures. The family cannot express their gratitude to her for making the
last years of his life so full. Jack lived a life of giving and the joy. He
was a true gentleman. We celebrate the greatness of his life and how grateful
we were to be his children, grandchildren, and friend. When a man has lead

varied. She was proudest of helping her six children achieve the best start
they could in their own lives. Jan was an inspiration to the many people she

Thompson, Sherry L.
Sherry L. Thompson 1941 ~ 2004  ST. GEORGE, UTAH - Sherry L. Thompson died
battling leukemia while undergoing treatment in Seattle on October 19, 2004. 
Born on May 4, 1941, in Ely, Nevada to Mildred Taylor Olpin and Darrel Olpin,
Sherry was an only child. She attended Brigham Young University on a
scholarship, and was the youngest person at that time to graduate from the
university. Her interests included theater, ballet, art, photography,
preserving the environment, animal rights, and these were infused into her
professional career. In the early 1960's she started doing artwork for
advertising agencies in Salt Lake City. There she met Jerry Thompson, and the
two started Thompson Graphic Design in 1965, and a family.  Sherry started S.
Thompson Advertising Agency in 1973. Some of the highlights of her advertising
career include illustrations for the LDS Church, the Stars basketball team,
the book, One Sleepless Night, written by LDS President Spencer Kimball, and
photographs for the state's tourism industry. She was president of the Art
Directors Club of Salt Lake City for a number of years.  In 1990 she married
Rod Irwin. They developed affordable housing in Ogden using an environmentally
sensitive construction method, new at the time. They moved to St. George, Utah
in 1998, where their first project was the design and complete renovation of
Ancestor Square, and design of the Painted Pony restaurant. Their business, S
Gallery, began in St. George in 1999. Initially it was an art gallery
featuring Sherry's work. Custom furniture design and construction followed
quickly. Their work is prominently displayed in numerous Parade of Homes and
many of the finest homes in Utah, Nevada and Arizona. Pottery was a passion of
hers, but Sherry created beauty and magic with any material she touched. She
did more than design custom furniture: she turned it into art and created a
unique Southwest look. She was a prolific and talented painter and sculptor.
In addition to her husband Rodney Irwin, Sherry is survived by sons Greg and
Jan Thompson of Salt Lake City, stepchildren Michael and Amanda Irwin of St.
George, and grandchildren Jarrad and Anthony Thompson, and Kyler Irwin. A
ceremony celebrating Sherry's life will be held on Tuesday, October 26, from
4:30-7:30 p.m. at a private residence in Ivins. Those interested in attending,
please contact S Gallery at 435-673-9729 (after hours, please call Rod at

Sherry's memory may be sent to Best Friends Animal Society, 5001 Angel Canyon
Road, Kanab, Utah 84741.

Walker, Ruth Steed
Ruth Steed Walker1910 ~2004  Ruth Steed Walker, devoted daughter, accomplished
vocalist, generous philanthropist, respected professional, and good friend,
died from the complications of old age on October 22, 2004. A broken hip
hastened the course set for her by congestive heart failure, but she died
peacefully and in her sleep. Until the very end, she continued to display her
lifelong traits of wit, wisdom, and charm. She was as popular with her
caregivers as she was with her family, co-workers, and friends. Ruth was born
on September 17, 1910, in Salt Lake City, but spent much of her childhood in
Farmington. Her father, Lorenzo Walker, died while she was an infant. Her
mother, Ann Elizabeth Steed Walker, remained a widow for the rest of her life.
She raised Ruth and her siblings, in the face of many obstacles, through hard
work and determination. Ruth returned the favor, caring for her beloved mother
until her death in 1969. Ruth was also preceded in death by three brothers who
died at birth and by her brothers, Lorenzo Steed Walker and Marion Steed
Walker, and her sisters, Cleone Steed Walker Ostler Langley and Annette Steed
Walker Orme. Ruth graduated from LDS High School; studied vocal music,
including with Emma Lucy Gates Bowen; and studied nursing at LDS Hospital
before settling on a career in cost accounting with Utah Oil Company and its
successors, including AMOCO. She proudly recounted being asked to check,
through manual calculations, the accuracy of computers in the earliest days of
the electronic age--and finding any number of errors. She was a member of the
Mormon Tabernacle Choir for many years and continued her lifelong appreciation
of music through affiliation with the Opera Appreciation Club and Alpha
Dorian. In her youth, her agility and height combined to make her an
outstanding basketball player. In retirement, Ruth took up golf, and played
until the effects of glaucoma and macular degeneration made it impossible for
her to play. These conditions led her to the University of Utah's Moran Eye
Institute, whose mission she supported both financially and through
participation as a support group mentor and role model for those who become
visually impaired later in life. As a substantial supporter of the University,
she was a member of the John Park Society.  Ruth lived for many years on
Roosevelt Avenue, keeping her own yard and garden--and shoveling her own
driveway and sidewalks--until well into her eighties. In later years, she
lived at Parklane, then Parklane Manor, and finally at The Residence of Care
Source.  Ruth is survived by a large circle of friends, old and new, as well
as by a dwindling number of cousins and an ever-growing network of nieces and
nephews, great nieces and nephews, great-great-nieces and nephews, and
great-great-great-nieces and nephews. Those wishing to honor Ruth are asked to
consider contributions in her memory either to the Humane Society of Utah or
the Ruth S. Walker and Ann Elizabeth Steed Walker Ophthalmology Endowment
Fund, Moran Eye Center, University of Utah. Services will be held at a later
date.

raised in Smithfield and attended school at Summit Elementary, North Cache Jr.
High and Sky View High School.  Brenda started playing the piano at seven
years of age and went on to become an accomplished pianist. She excelled at
the USU Conservatory and performed in many recitals. She had an amazing knack
for sight reading and did a great deal of accompaniment work. She played the
clarinet, viola, organ and the harp and performed with the harp quartet at
Ricks College. While at Sky View she was involved with the theater department
and accompanied many of the musicals. She was secretary of the DECA Club and
also competed, winning the State Title and attending Nationals in Orlando,
Florida. She served on Seminary Council and was Sky View Sterling Scholar for
business. She was on the honor roll every semester and was a member of the

him with her whole heart and being. They had just purchased a home in
Centerville and were enjoying furnishing, painting and decorating it. Brenda
touched every person's life who she came in contact with. She always had a
kind word for everyone and was genuinely concerned for others. She was always
sending thank you notes and notes of encouragement to others. Her life was cut
short at 29 years, but Brenda has done more, touched more lives, and
accomplished more than most people do in a lifetime. Brenda has left a spot in
our lives that will never be replaced; we will miss her, our little angel!
