Ator, D.O. 9/29/65 ~ 10/19/04 Clark Brenton (Brent) Ator passed from this life October 19, 2004 in a tragic airplane accident in Kirksville, Missouri. A beloved husband, father, son, brother, bishop, doctor, and friend, he lived a life filled with love and service matched by few.

For Clark there was always time for a generous hug, a kind word, or a wrestling match with anyone who wanted to take him on. Quick with a smile and laughter he spread light and warmth to anyone who was blessed to be in his presence. His constant concern for others made him the perfect confidante, friend, and counselor. He faced everything that life gave him, and any problem that was brought to him, with a calm patience and serenity that immediately put those he was helping at ease, and gave them the confidence that all would be right. Clark touched lives everywhere he went. Those he served as a physician, bishop, or friend knew the love, compassion, and dedication only a man who knew his Savior and loved his fellowman could give. Those of us who knew him and felt of his spirit will miss him greatly and love him forever. "For there is a time appointed for every man, according as his works shall be."

John W.Jarman "Jack" John W. Jarman, salesman, businessman, and philanthropist died in an automobile accident while going to work on October 20, 2004. Jack was born to Walter and Cuba Jarman in Omaha Nebraska on February 8, 1922. He spent his early years on a Nebraska farm before moving to 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 Brown; he and Helen were married until her death in 1996. Jack loved and excelled at sports throughout his life, including track and field, skiing, fishing, and especially golfing at the Salt Lake Country Club. He will be remembered for his and Helen's, philanthropic efforts to a number of varied organizations including the Ballet West, Health Sciences Center at the University of Utah, Neighborhood House, Red Butte Gardens, Rowland Hall-Saint Marks School, the Salt Lake Art Center, Utah Symphony and Opera, the YWCA among many others. He was also on the Board of Directors of a number of these organizations and was particularly proud of his work with Rowland Hall and the Salt Lake Art Center. He and his wife Helen were avid art collectors, 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.

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.
