counsel and advice. He deeply loved his family and was zealously dedicated to
creating countless treasured memories including family campouts, pheasant
hunts, church historical site tours, and numerous trips to Southern California

generously, raising a family strong in the gospel, and donating countless
hours of service to his church and to those less fortunate. Many of his most
thoughtful acts were done anonymously. Harold was frank in his positions on
virtually any topic and was uncompromising in completing a task. His word was
his bond. On the day he passed away he was doing what he loved most, serving

Workman, Shirley Anne Hiner
Shirley Anne Hiner Workman 1931 ~ 2005 Shirley Anne Hiner Workman passed away
on April 23, 2005, in Salt Lake City, Utah; she was 73. She was born on August
13, 1931, in Gainesville, Florida to L. David Hiner and Janet Elizabeth Carter
Hiner; Dr. Hiner was the first dean of the University of Utah College of
Pharmacy. Shirley graduated from East High School in Salt Lake City, Utah; she
subsequently earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Utah,
where she was a graduate of the College of Pharmacy. She married Richard L.
Workman, Jr. on December 28, 1953, in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was a member
of Wasatch Presbyterian Church. Shirley was a registered pharmacist in Utah
and Texas, and she practiced pharmacy for over 40 years. She was a member of
the Utah Pharmaceutical Association and the American Pharmaceutical
Association for many years, and was active in many of those associations'
auxiliary and community service programs. She was also a devoted member of the
University of Utah Alumni Association - she loved attending athletic events at
the U of U, especially football and basketball games and gymnastic meets.
Among Shirley's many interests and activities, she held a lifelong interest in
the arts including the theater, ballet, opera, and symphony; she supported
several Salt Lake City arts organizations through their respective guilds, and
she always enjoyed attending performances of these "cultural treasures" as she
referred to them. Shirley also enjoyed traveling with her many friends, both
domestically and abroad. Among her international destinations, she made
several trips to Great Britain (England, Ireland and Scotland), and she also
traveled to Russia, France, Germany, Switzerland, Greece and Italy; one of her
favorite domestic trips was an Alaskan cruise. Closer to home, she couldn't
miss traveling to Southern Utah each summer to attend performances of the Utah
Shakespearean Festival. Shirley was particularly active in the P.E.O.
Sisterhood, in which she was recently recognized as a "Golden Girl" for her
50+ years of membership; she was a member of Chapter O, Utah. Shirley's
enthusiasm for the Utah Jazz is legendary, and she seldom missed a game; she
was also a lifelong baseball fan. One of Shirley's favorite pastimes was
fishing for salmon in the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast, and she had many
tales of the "one that got away". Her radiant smile and her infectious laugh
brightened every life she touched. She is survived by her daughters, Wendy W.
Corbett of Atlanta, Georgia, and Mary K. W. Moore, of Salt Lake City, Utah;
her son, David R. Workman of Petaluma, California; and her granddaughter,
Abigail Christine Elizabeth Anne Workman, also of Petaluma, California.
