Ellison, Roger Melvin
Roger Melvin Ellison 1942 ~ 2005 Roger Melvin Ellison of Sandy, UT, age 63,
beloved husband, father, grandpa, son and brother returned to his Heavenly
Father April 11, 2005. Surrounded by his family that loves him deeply, he
passed away peacefully at his home after a sudden, brief but aggressive battle
with cancer. Roger was born January 23, 1942 in Lovell, Big Horn, WY, and
raised in Paradise Valley outside Livingston, MT on a beautiful family ranch
with a back drop of pine-covered mountains, on the Yellowstone River where he
loved to fish for trout. It was here that Roger learned the value and joy of
hard work and gained a testimony of the gospel from his parents. He attended a
one-room school in Paradise Valley and Park County High School in MT. Then he
attended BYU in Provo where he met the love of his life, Rosemary. They were
married on October 1, 1964 in the Salt Lake Temple where they were sealed for
eternity, by President Gordon B. Hinckley when he was an Apostle. After 40
years their love is still vibrant, from the happiness they received from
laughing together, being unified in life's purposes--centered on gospel of
Jesus Christ. Their greatest joy is being with their family. He was a man of
service. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he
was the first missionary from his Livingston Ward, serving faithfully in the
Australia, Sydney Mission, where he did much good in sharing the gospel. He
was a High Priest in the LDS Church, having served in many callings to the
best of his ability. He had a love of teaching, home teaching and lifting up
the poor and needy. He was a friend to all and looked for the good in
everyone. He found his greatest joy of service through family history, and we
know he is continuing with this work even now. He started his career in
banking, then real estate sales and investments. He enjoyed his most recent
work at SereniCare in funeral services where he loved comforting and inspiring
families in need. Every job he had he made better. Roger is survived by his
"Pride & Joy," his wife, Rosemary Kirkham Jarvis Ellison; his children: Laurie
Ellison-UT, Jennifer and Paul Breinholt-UT, Nathan and Laura Ellison-TX, Nikki
and Alif Ambler-KY, Nancy Ellison-UT and Benjamin Ellison-UT; grandchildren

Ambler; mother Vivian Anderson Ellison-MT; sister Deanne Holm-AZ; Jarvis
Sibling In-Laws George and Kathy-CAN, Stephan and Sue-WA, Michael and Trudy-UT
and many other loved ones. Preceded in death by his father Melvin Basil

Evertsen, Eugene Vorkink
Eugene Vorkink Evertsen 1919 ~ 2005 Eugene Vorkink Evertsen passed away April
12, 2005 at his residence in Sandy, Utah, where he lived with his daughter. He
was born June 5, 1919 in Ogden, Utah to Dirk Evertsen and Jacoba Vorkink

attended LDS Business College for a short time. Eugene married Anne Louise
Horsley August 31, 1942 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Dad was a life-long
member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was always
actively involved in many capacities. He fulfilled a mission to Hawaii prior
to World War II where he worked with the Japanese people. Dad was a veteran of
World War II serving in the army at General Macarthur's headquarters in
Manila. He loved to tell people he "fought the war with a typewriter." Eugene
worked in the construction industry most of his life and as a brick mason in
the Phoenix area for many years before his failing health led to an early
retirement. He enjoyed every phase of homebuilding and became proficient in

Fishler, Benjamin Mabey
Benjamin Mabey Fishler 1921 ~ 2005 Ben M. Fishler passed away at his home on
April 12, 2005. Benjamin Mabey Fishler was born April 17, 1921, in Odgen,
Utah, to Philip L. and Alice Mabey Fishler, the fifth of seven children. He
had four sisters and two brothers. The children of Phil and Alice were:
Virginia, Kenneth, Mildred, Audrey, Ben, Stanley, and Baalah. Raised in the
Avenues of Salt Lake City, Ben graduated from East High School in 1938 and
attended the University of Utah. Ben met our mother, Helen Robinson, in San
Francisco during World War II, and they were married on November 13, 1942. Ben
is survived by his three children, Philip (wife Judy Williams), Julie (husband
David Smart) and Janet (husband Tom Melville.); his sisters, Virginia Bowen,
Baalah Drooks; brothers, Kenneth and Stanley (wife Darlene); in addition, nine
grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his
parents and his sisters Mildred (Christensen) and Audrey. Ben enlisted in the
U.S. Navy on January 9, 1939. Trained as a medical corpsman, he was then
assigned to the USS Honolulu CL-48 at Pearl Harbor. On December 7, 1941, while
serving on the Honolulu, it was attacked by Japanese dive-bombers and damaged.
Ben observed the USS Arizona blow up and the USS Oklahoma roll over. Ben
immediately went to his battle station to attend to the wounded. After repairs
were completed, the Honolulu operated in the Aleutian Islands in order to
prevent a Japanese invasion of Alaska. Thereafter, the Honolulu, nicknamed the
"Blue Goose", was sent to Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, just in time to
participate in the Battle of Tassafaronga on November 30, 1942. In this
battle, every American cruiser was either damaged or sunk, but the Honolulu,
as a "lucky ship", was not damaged. This was followed by many ship-to-ship
night engagements. On July 4, 1943, the Honolulu sank a Japanese destroyer in
the Battle of Kula Gulf. However, the Helena CL 50, a sister ship, was sunk.
On July 13, 1943, in the Battle of Kolombangara, the Honolulu, while trying to
intercept the "Tokyo Express", sustained two torpedo hits. Once again there
were no casualties, but 90 feet were blown off the bow. The Honolulu, with Ben
on board, returned to the U.S. for repairs. He was then assigned temporarily
to the Naval Hospital at Camp Pendleton, California. Ben then became a "plank
owner" on the USS Barataria Bay, AVP 33, a seaplane tender. On that ship, Ben
went immediately to the Philippines, where he participated in the invasion of
Lingayen Gulf. At war's end, he was in Manila, standing by, to invade Japan.
Ben liked to say, he was at Pearl Harbor when World War II started and at
Manila when it ended. His next assignment was recruiting duty in Salt Lake
City for three years. Sea duty called again, and he was assigned to attack
transport, USS Pickaway APA 222 which took him and U.S. Marine reinforcements
to the Pusan perimeter at the beginning of the Korean War. The Pickaway then
made the landings at Inchon where Ben attended to wounded Marines evacuated
from the invasion beach and seawall. At the completion of the Inchon campaign,
Ben and the Pickaway went to the east coast of Korea. His sea duty completed,
Ben drew a three-year tour, giving physicals at an Armed Forces Examining
Station in Detroit. Sea duty called again, and he was sent to Trinidad,
British West Indies and Panama where he served with Patrol Squadron VP 34. In
1956, he drew his last shore assignment in Cheyenne, Wyoming, serving as a
member for Inspector/Instructor Staff at the U.S. Naval Reserve Training
Center, Cheyenne, Wyoming. He always had difficulty explaining to people why
this "old salt" was sitting in the middle of the sagebrush. In 1958, he
retired to go to work in sales at Deseret Pharmaceutical where he worked until
1967 when he formed Desert Drug Company. This company was sold, and he formed
another pharmaceutical company called Pharmics. He left Parmics to go into
dental sales with his nephew. He left that employment to retire, although he
was very active until the very end of his life. He loved the Navy, but never
considered himself a hero. Ben believed he was just one sailor among many who
did their duty for their country. He was devoted to his family, especially his
wife, Helen and his three children. He loved to be with his grandchildren and
quite possibly, he loved his great-grandchildren even more. This was probably
due, in part, to his great love for children. At times it seemed he was a
child at heart. Every Christmas Ben would say, "Mele Kalikimaka!" ("Merry
Christmas" in the Hawaiian language). Ben insisted that his children become
educated and, even more, demanded hard work and honesty from them. He never
saw a problem that couldn't be overcome with hard work, dedication and
perseverance. Ben was extremely punctual and organized ("A clean ship is a
happy ship"). He had a sweet tooth and especially loved ice cream. Ben loved
his children's spouses as his own children. Ben always told us how much he
loved his mother-in-law and father-in-law. He loved fishing and hunting with
his son, sons-in-law, nephews, grandsons, and grandsons-in-law. Ben could not
abide a quitter. Respected by everyone, Ben was a hard worker with a deep
sense of ethics. Most of all, Ben was a very generous person. We will all miss
him but take comfort in all that he taught us by example. The family would
like to express their thanks to all his health-care providers who extended his
life much beyond what we had any right to expect. These people include: Drs.
Keith Ritchie and Richard Bennett, who always exercised great skill and
compassion. Our thanks also go to their wonderful staff. Lastly, we thank our
family and friends who have consoled us in this difficult time. As a last
warning, Ben hated it if you were late. Ben will be interred in Arlington
National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. with full military honors. These
proceedings will be conducted by Ben's son-in-law, Lt. Col. Thomas Melville,
USAR, Ret. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the U.S. Naval
Archives in Washington, D.C. Please contact: Rose Marie Lawing, U.S. Navy

Hansen, Delbert Loyal
Delbert Loyal Hansen 1926 ~ 2005 God saw he was getting tired, And a cure was
not to be, So He put His arms around our Dad And whispered, "Come with me."
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away, Although we
loved him dearly, We could not make him stay, A golden heart stopped beating,
Hardworking hands to rest; Although it broke our hearts to let him go, It's
time now for our Dad to rest Delbert Loyal Hansen, 78, died of cancer, April
13, 2005, at his home in Smithfield surrounded by his family. Loyal was born
October 26, 1926, in Redmond, Utah, to Delbert and Nora Brunson Hansen. He
graduated from North Sevier High School in 1944. After two years in the Navy,
serving in the Mediterranean during World War II, he returned home to attend
Utah State College. There he met and married his biology lab partner, Belva
Lou McArthur, in the Salt Lake Temple, August 18, 1948. Loyal served in the
Army Reserve and as a security guard at Dugway Proving Grounds in the early
years of their marriage. He later worked as a Soil Conservationist---planning
watershed projects and working with the farmers in the valley. Loyal lived an
active life in the outdoors close to God's creations-hiking, camping, fishing
throughout Utah and teaching family and scouts outdoor survival. Special
passions learned in his youth included; horse back riding, dairy farming,
caring for livestock, raising turkeys, harvesting eggs, and growing an
enviable garden. His lifetime love of Bear Lake's beauty led him to spend many
weekends, at the family's Bear Lake cabins, playing with grandchildren and
sharing campfire stories. Loyal's life was defined by hard work.-wasting time
was not a part of his mortal experience. Although he loved to work and taught
his children its value, he always had time for people. Loyal, a member of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints, served as Executive Secretary,
Home Teacher, Sunday School president and Scout Master. He heightened the
scouting experience by teaching the boys to lash a thirty foot tower in the
back yard--cutting and peeling the poles and making the rope. He designed and
custom built pine wood derby tracks. He taught at Jamborees and introduced
Indian dancing to his troops. Known as "The Rabbit Man", he shared his love of
rabbits with all. Three generations of Smithfield residents learned of pigeons
and rabbits from "Mr. Hansen". Sensitive to the beautiful home our earth
provides--he instructed his scouts, children and grandchildren to always leave
things better than they found them. He used the earth for 78 years and left
everyplace he went better than he found it. Loyal is survived by his wife,
Belva, and children: Meridene (Eric) Lindsey, Dell Loy (Lynnette) Hansen,
Randy (Leslie) Hansen, Denise (Dan) Magda, 20 grandchildren, six
great-grand-children, two sisters: Olive (Ivan) Watts, and Gereldine Hobbs. He
was preceded in death by his parents, a sister, Fern Wiser, and a

husband, Dr. Donald Saecker in his dental practice. She then settled into
being a loving wife and mother during their 18 years of marriage. Her affinity
with yoga, Tai Chi, and Eastern philosophy lasted throughout her life, even in
her late 80's, when she sat in her chair at Barton Creek for yoga/Tai Chi/ and
exercise classes. She and late husband Bill traveled throughout the world
during their wonderful 17 years of marriage. She and Bill loved each other and
their many adventures. Her childlike fascination with life, her love for
others and nature are traits for which she will always be remembered. The

friendships shared with Dr. William (Karen) Sadler, the staff and residents of
the Inn at Barton Creek, CNS Hospice, and her friends at Bountiful Community
Church. A celebration of Alice's wonderful life will be held at a future date.

trying to convince us that April 15th has something to do with taxes. Despite
this unusual transformation into adulthood, the celebration of your life and
friendship will never be forgotten or diminished. Steve, when this dream is
over and our reunion commenced, we look forward to catching up on all your
missed birthdays. Your Friends Always

championship titles in both target and field archery tournaments. He quietly

tournaments and honoring the Sabbath Day. The family expresses sincere thanks
to the caring and devoted personnel at the Federal Heights Nursing and
Rehabilitation Center, and LifePath Hospice for their dedication and kindness
during their father's final days. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m.
