Callister Jr., Arthur Armitage Needham
Arthur Armitage Needham Callister, Jr. A Friend To All Arthur A. Callister, at
age 82, left this world on April 19, 2005. Art did not want to give up living,
which was usual for his determination and persistence throughout his life. He
died from complications of age and dementia. Art was born in Salt Lake City,
Utah, and was the second child of four born to Arthur A. Callister, Sr. and
Alverda Reid. Art married Miriam Fitzgerald (deceased) in the Salt Lake
Temple. They had six children: Allen (deceased), Joan (deceased), Linda
(deceased), Edward, Mary Ann and David. He has 13 grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren. Art grew up on the family farm on Redwood Rd. He learned
how to care for animals and enjoy the livestock and horses. Art played
professional tennis and served in the Navy during World War II. After the war,
Art worked for Utah Construction in the bookkeeping department. It was here
that the spirit of this successful businessman emerged, and Art soon left this
employment. In 1952 Art and his father started trading wool. The business grew
to include selling livestock supplies. Art's father retired a few years later
and Art was on his own. With his hard work and great people skills, the store
continued to grow. He added horse tack, clothing, boots and hats to his
inventory. As Art's children grew, they were brought in and taught lessons of
life through the business. In 1995 Art tried to retire in St. George, Utah,
however it was short lived and he opened a second store with a great friend,
Dennis Butler, in Utah's Dixie. A third store was later opened in South
Jordan. Art enjoyed riding in the Palomino Posse Horse Club, and riding horses
out on the trail with his family and friends. Art rode his horse with pride as
the Grand Marshall at the Days of '47 All Horse Parade in 1996. He enjoyed
working on the Days of '47 Rodeo Committee for over 15 years. He also loved to
dance, and said that he was too young to take up golfing at the age of 80.
Most of all, Art loved to socialize with his customers, friends and business
associates. Art was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. He had various callings, but the one he remembers the most was working
with the Boy Scouts, and the eight day trip he took with 32 horses and 25
scouts to Mirror Lake in the Uinta Mountains. This is a trip the boys will
never forget. Dad had a great time and was tired for a month or two
afterwards. Thanks to all of Dad's acquaintances and friends for sharing your
lives with him. Also, thank you to the staff at Alta Ridge Alzheimer's and
Rocky Mountain Hospice for their care and compassion shown to Art in his last
days here on earth. Funeral services will be held Saturday, April 23, 2005, 11
a.m., at the Monument Park 20th Ward, 2795 E. Crestview Dr. (1010 S, Southeast

Thomas, Geraldine Marie Cooper
Geraldine Marie Cooper Thomas 8/10/15 ~ 4/19/05 We give thanks for and
celebrate the life of Geraldine Marie Cooper Thomas, born on August 10, 1915
in Springfield, Missouri to parents Roy Woodle and Delia Estelle Dedmon. Gerry
was raised by her mother and stepfather, E.L. Cooper, in Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma, where she attended Central High School. An artist of note, Gerry
received a full art scholarship to Kidd Key College in Sherman, Texas. After
college, Gerry married her lifetime partner, William Wynne Thomas in Oklahoma
City in 1938. They gave birth to a daughter, Sharon Kaye Martin (Sherry), in
1940. Wynne worked for Service Pipe Line and was transferred to Salt Lake
City, Utah in 1942 where they lived until moving to Lakeway, Texas in 1972.
Gerry's artistic talents have been appreciated and enjoyed by family and
friends in several states. Gerry was an accomplished seamstress who designed
bridal ensembles for countless young women in Salt Lake, and designed and made
Sherry's wedding dress. Hundreds of children in Utah and Texas still own
Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls made by Gerry. She designed and made toys, clothes
and other treasures for her two grandchildren, Walter Wynn Martin and Scott
Thomas Martin. A joyful, optimistic person, Gerry's faith in her Lord was deep
and strong. As a member of St. Luke's on the Lake Episcopal Church in Austin,
Gerry was an active member in the Daughters of The King and the Young at Heart
Fellowship Group. Here again, Gerry contributed her artistic talents to fairs,
bazaars and other church functions. Gerry's son-in-law, Walter Perry Martin,
was a special gift to Gerry. As an architect, Perry and Gerry shared many
creative interests and spent countless hours together enjoying artistic
endeavors. The friendship and admiration they held for each other was visible
in both their lives. Grandsons Wynn and Scott looked forward as children to
visits with their Granny to bake nachos and stew great vats of treasured Chili
Sauce, a family recipe and tradition spanning four generations. In 2000, Gerry
delighted in Scott's marriage to poet Jenny Browne, and recently found
boundless joy in great-granddaughter Lyda Rose Martin, born to Scott and Jenny
in January 2004. Gerry surprised and delighted us all by secretly sewing one
last Raggedy Ann doll, for Lyda. When Gerry's beloved Wynne died seventeen
years ago, she declared in characteristic strength and optimism, "This will be
a happy home, a happy place to gather." It has been, and will continue to be,
as we take her bright spirit forward in our hearts and minds. Gerry died
peacefully at home of natural causes on April 19th. The family would like to
acknowledge with heartfelt gratitude the dedication and support of her
caregivers over the last five years. A special thanks is extended to Linda
Kelly and her husband Mike Kelly for the management of Gerry's care and their
constant love and support. Without Linda and Mike, Gerry could not have
remained in her home in Lakeway, as was her fervent wish. A celebration of
Gerry's life will be held at St. Luke's on the Lake Episcopal Church, 5600
Ranch Road 620 North on Friday, April 22 at 10:30 am with The Reverend Michael
Wyckoff officiating. Anyone wishing to make donations in honor of Gerry's life
may do so by contributing to St. Luke's on the Lake Episcopal Church
-Stephen's Ministry, 5600 Ranch Road 620 North, Austin, Texas, 78732-1823,
