see the sky? Yes 'n' how many ears must one man have before they can hear
people cry? Yes 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows too many people
have died. The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind, the answer is blowin'
in the wind."- Bob Dylan The family suggests donations to the Multiple

make-shift altar. Quentin served on the original national board of directors
for Odyssey House and was the Founding Director of the Odyssey House Salt Lake
treatment facility. In addition, Quentin did chaplaincy work at the Utah State
Prison, served as a social worker at St. Marks Hospital, and participated in a
fact finding mission for the U.N. in an effort to develop new strategies for
achieving peace in the Middle East. He has also served many years on the
Crossroads Urban Planning Commission and has been active in the Salt Lake
interfaith community. His greatest strength and joy was in the work he did as
an advocate for oppressed and indigenous people. In the 1990's Quentin was
invited on several occasions to New Zealand by the Maori people who regarded
him as a gifted spiritual leader with an understanding of the unique needs of
Native people. When it was announced that Utah would host the 2000 Winter
Olympics, it was Quentin Kolb who would press the Olympic Planning Committee
to acknowledge the original occupants of the state in a respectful and
dignified manner. The work of his heart, was the work he did at Urban Indian
Support Ministries. He established a safe place where Indians, who were away
from reservations for whatever reason, could find a sense of community. There,
they could seek guidance and assistance, both spiritual and physical, in
establishing themselves in meaningful and productive lives, while continuing
to embrace their Native cultural values and traditions. Quentin is survived by
his sisters, Naturitch Kolb Neilsen and La Donna Kolb Johnson; his brother, Ty
Kolb; his children, Jon Christopher Kolb, Candace Kolb, and Quentin France
Kolb Jr; his stepchildren, Robert Coulter and Stephanie Coulter; four
grandchildren; and three great-grandchil-dren. The family would like to thank
Sharon Odekirk and her family for the love and support they have given over
the past several years, and warm thanks also to the staffs at both St.
Joseph's Villa and at The Residence by Care Source. In lieu of flowers, the
family would be honored by contributions made to: The Circle of Wellness, c/o
The Indian Walk in Center, 120 West 1300 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115, in
Quentin's name. A celebration of Quentin's life will be held 3 p.m. Wednesday,

Tanner, Grace Adams
Grace Adams Tanner 1906 ~ 2005 Grace Adams Tanner died peacefully at her home
on Thursday evening, April 7. She was 98 years old. Grace was attended by her
children and those who have cared for her in her last days. Born in Parowan,
Utah on November 30, 1906, Grace was the sixth child of Luella Redd Adams and
Thomas Davenport Adams, both descendants of early southern Utah settlers. Her
parents' first year of marriage was spent on an LDS mission in Samoa. They
returned to raise a family of eleven children. They worked in dairy farming
and held various church and civic positions. Grace married Obert Clark Tanner
of Farmington, Utah on August 5, 1931 in the Salt Lake Temple. They had six
children. Three of their sons died tragically in childhood of unrelated
causes. Grace and Obert's life together was one of deep affection and mutual
respect. They traveled and studied widely, eventually returning in 1944 to
Salt Lake City where Obert taught philosophy at the University of Utah and
built a manufacturing company that makes recognition awards for corporations
all over the world. Obert died in 1993. A stalwart supporter of her husband's
adventures at every turn, Grace was a vivacious and distinguished woman in her
own right. After studying for three years at the University of Utah, she
graduated from Southern Utah University in Cedar City, and holds an honorary
doctoral degree from that university. The Shakespeare Memorial Theatre there
is named for her parents, and the Alumni Room at the University of Utah bears
her name. Grace and Obert enjoyed their shared charitable work, creating a
legacy of giving for the arts, education and the public good. Grace was
particularly devoted to the Red Butte Gardens and the Utah Nature Conservancy.
Two other projects, named for Grace and Obert, are the Gift of Music and the
Humanities Center at the University of Utah. Grace is survived by her sister,
Carol Adams Wright, of Parowan; her children Joan Adele Tanner Reddish of
Taos, New Mexico; Carolyn Tanner Irish of Salt Lake City; David Obert Tanner
of Ramona, California; seven grandchildren and a great-grand-child. The family

Wilson, LaPriel
LaPriel Wilson 1911 ~ 2005 LaPriel Goodwin Wilson passed away peacefully at
her home in Centerville, Utah on April 7, 2005, one day after her 94th
birthday. She was born in Lehi, Utah on April 6, 1911 to Samuel Isaac Goodwin
and Olena Anderson. She married William Robert "Bill" Wilson on November 7,
1947 in the Arizona LDS Temple. Together they lovingly raised their two
daughters, Sandy and Laurie. LaPriel remained busy throughout her life--she
was the original Energizer bunny! While in Lehi she worked as the bookkeeper
in her father's store, the Goodwin's Golden Rule. She always had a church
calling as she and Bill made their homes in Glendale, CA; Littleton, CO; and
Centerville, UT. As Relief Society president in Glendale she was much loved
for her good works and creative activities. She took great joy serving with
Bill in the Salt Lake Temple during their retirement years. LaPriel was truly
a woman of faith and serious gospel study! Even after health problems tried to
slow her down she remained active in her family's lives. She especially
enjoyed visits from her many grandchildren, whom she adored (and worried
over). LaPriel loved to play the piano and sing with her sisters. She
accompanied countless choirs and vocal groups. Her friendly, fun-loving spirit
drew others close (her friends were friends for life). She was famous for her
homemade chicken noodle soup and her original Christmas piano medley. Survived
by daughter, Sandy Wilson; Scott (Ranae) Thornton; eight grandchildren; two
great - grandchildren; many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by husband,
Bill; daughter, Laurie Thornton; grandson, Nathan Thornton; all eight older
siblings. What a joyful reunion she has had with them! Funeral services at 12
noon, Tuesday, April 12th at Centerville Stake Center, 950 North Main,
Centerville, UT, followed by interment at Lehi Cemetery. Friends may call
before the services from 11:00 - 11:45. On-line guest book and map at
