Anderson, Marilyn J.
Marilyn J. Anderson 1927 ~ 2005 Park City resident Marilyn J. Anderson, 78,
died peacefully on April 19, 2005 as a result of complications from heart
disease. Lynn, as she was affectionately known even to her children, was born
on January 8, 1927, in Oak Park, Illinois. The only child of Raymond and
Lucille Johnson, Lynn graduated from the Medill School of Journalism
(Northwestern University), where she was a member of the Alpha Phi sorority,
before marrying Robert H. Anderson in Oak Park on August 12, 1950. She was a
published poet and short-story writer and received several writing awards.
Lynn and Bob spent the next 16 years in Elmhurst, Illinois, where they raised
their son Mark and daughters Sally and Sharon. From the mid-1960s, Lynn worked
on and off as a paper grader for high school Honors English classes. She was
known by students for her humorous "emoticons," in her case using a red pen.
During a brief job transfer to Salt Lake City (Mt. Olympus) in 1968, Lynn and
Bob fell in love with Utah. When they were relocated to Illinois (Glen Ellyn)
in 1969, Lynn returned to grading Honors English papers before earning her
Realtor's license in 1976. In 1982, Bob and Lynn retired to Park City, Utah
(Pinebrook). Lynn since worked at the Kimball Art Center, served as president
of the Park City Historical Society, was secretary of the Ecker Hill
Historical Monument committee, and was a co-founder of the Park City
Historical Museum. Until March, 2005, she held a part-time job for many years
with the Park City Chamber / Bureau, operating the museum desk. Lynn loved
people and was perpetually curious. Among her "new best friends" were many
wonderful work colleagues, bridge partners, and old and new Pinebrook
neighbors. She also continued to visit and travel with lifelong friends. An
avid crossword puzzler, Lynn could complete most New York Times Saturday
puzzles in 15 minutes. She had an affinity for animals - especially "that
cat," Cowboy - and also loved a good book, a fire in the fireplace, and
traveling to other states and countries. Long before her first visit to France
at the age of 38, Lynn was drawn to the French culture, from stories of Paris
to the music of Piaf and the writings of Colette. She learned and practiced
French all her life. She loved music, ranging from classical to contemporary.
But above all, Lynn loved each member of her family as a best friend. It is
hard to imagine anyone being more missed as a wife, mother, and companion.
Lynn is survived by husband Robert H. Anderson, Park City; son Mark (Mary
Jane); grandchildren Berit and Evan, Friday Harbor, WA; daughter Sally,
Seattle; daughter Sharon (David Morris), Charlotte-Park City. The family would
like to thank the many communities of friends who have offered their love,
support, and catering skills. Thanks also to the fine staff and volunteers at
CareSource in Salt Lake City for their expertise and compassion. In accordance
with Lynn's wishes, there will be no service.

Frampton, Ellyn
Ellyn Frampton 1920 ~ 2005 Our most precious and beloved mother, Ellyn
Frampton, passed peacefully from this life to the next on Thursday morning,
April 21, 2005. The blessing of her life to this world began July 14, 1920 in
Penrose, Wyoming. The second child of nine born to Elbert Roy and Agness
Berthelson Mangus. Although her adult life played out nothing short of a Greek
tragedy she remained joyful, grateful, compassionate and never lost her
beautiful smile. Many who know her remain astounded that she held steadfast to
those traits regardless of her trials which were many. A true inspiration and
example to others. She married Gerald James Frampton January 15, 1938 in Byron
Wyoming. Their first babies were twins, Diane Ellen and Donald James born and
died March, 1940. Her second birth was a son, Bradley Joe born February, 1941
and died July, 1948 of polio. Mom also endured that disease. Next came Gerald
Roy "Buck" born October 1942. He was just 5 when his big brother Bradley died.
Next came Lyle Stanley born August 1946. He died at five months in January
1947. Next came Susanne May born December 1947. In September of 1953 Beverly
Dawn Frampton was born. In November of 1958 the three surviving children
welcomed Kerry William. After our dad died December 24, 1989 our Mom began a
new chapter where she was able to live in two residences, here in Utah and
also Phoenix. She was very proud of being able to accomplish this. She said
she had the best of both worlds. She always had one destination or the other
to look forward to returning to. Preceding her in death along with her
children, husband and parents, were her sisters Barbara, Ilene and Wilda.
Survivors are sons, "Buck" and (Linda) Frampton, Kerry Frampton; daughters,
Susanne (Lindsay) Stens, Bev and (Greg) Soter; sisters, Mae Potter, Loneta
Murphy, Jewel (Ted) Hepworth; brothers, Wallace (Ramona) Mangus and LeRoy
Mangus. A most kind and benevolent Mother to us all, Mom we will honor you by
remembering and implementing what you've given and taught us all.
Grandchildren, Brad Frampton, Kim Heaton, Chet Stens, Bret Stens, Tammy Bayne,
John Glezos, Amanda Glezos, Kristie Soter Jackson, Jake Frampton. She also
cherished her many great grandchildren and showed them so much love. We would
like to thank Rocky Mountain Care Center and Heartwood Hospice for their
extraordinary kindness and compassion in Ellyn's final days. Funeral services

Kawabata, Francis Reiji
Francis Reiji Kawabata 1/03/17 ~ 4/23/95 Dearest Francis, Dad, Grandpa, and
Great-Grandpa, It's been 10 years since you quietly, but unexpectedly, left a
void in our lives. We've all managed to continue on with daily living, but
have missed you dearly, especially Mom. We've missed you at the family
gatherings, reunions, and the Lake Powell trips haven't been the same without
you. We'll never forget your stew on the first night, the trips down listening
to your Zamfir flute music, you packing things in the front room days before
the trip, and seeing you in the Captain's chair driving the houseboat through
the buoy field in a windstorm. You'd be happy to know that all eight of your
grandchildren have graduated from college or will in the near future. We know
how proud you'd be of their accomplishments. Four of your grandchildren have
gotten married and three now have kids of their own, adding one great
grand-daughter and four great-grand sons to the family. We know you would have
enjoyed playing with them. Your boys have done some family research and have
found some interesting information. We all now regret we didn't take more time
with you to talk about the family history. We know there's a lot more
information that's awaiting our discovery. We all think about you often and
know that you are looking down on us. Love from us all, The Kawabata families
