The couple's lives were blessed with nine children, 28 grandchildren, and 26 great-grandchildren.

She lost Theodore, her companion of nearly 66 years, in 1999.

She was a faithful member of the LDS church, and twice served as Relief Society president. She also fulfilled a variety of callings that utilized her many musical talents.

Horman Jr., "Teddy" (deceased), Birdeen (Dan) Peterson, Dennis (Winkie) Horman, Douglas (Valerie) Horman, Aleta (Steven) Fairbanks, Leslie (Robert) Fouste; Laurel (Robert) Baumann, and Cory (Stephen) Johnson.

Ellingson, Paul Lloyd Paul Lloyd Ellingson 1938 ~ 2005 Paul Lloyd Ellingson departed peacefully from this infinitely beautiful and diverse plane August 3, 2005. He was born March 28, 1938 in Menomonie, Wisconsin to Lloyd Clifford and Emily E. Schettler Ellingson. He attended East High School in Salt Lake City, and received his BFA and MFA (art, music and architecture) from the University of Utah. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, he served active military duty with the U.S. Army. Paul married Marilyn H. Wayman October, 1964; they later divorced. He is preceded in death by his parents; and brother, Lloyd Ellingson. Survivors are his son, Shawn; daughter-in-law, Kassandra (Williams); granddaughter, Sophia; daughter, Laura, her sweetheart, Blair Sutherland; ex-wife, Marilyn; sister-in-law, Shirley. A special acknowledgement goes to his piano tuner, friend, Grady Garrard. His family, friends and acquaintances will miss his presence in this world. A heartfelt Thank You to the neurosurgeon, doctors and nurses at LDS Hospital's Shock/Trauma ICU, as well as the staff at South Davis Community Hospital. We were given the gift of time with Paul because of your care. Paul is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His family wishes to extend our genuine thanks to his bishoprics and ward members who were so generous with their caring and time over many years. Trying to sum up Paul Ellingson is a challenge, at the very least. He is an individual thinker with unusual intellect. His ideas and true artistry were reflected in his non-conformist personality. His occupations and hobbies include art (watercolor), music (solo jazz piano), architecture, writing, sculpting, model airplane building, aviation history, skiing, film noir, and old-time detective radio shows. Paul began learning the piano in his college years. In the mid-80's, he started his own record company called IVY JAZZ (a million chord changes), and produced his own two-record solo jazz piano album. He also wrote numerous articles on jazz history and theory that were published in various trade magazines. One of his dreams was to build a radio station in Salt Lake City dedicated to around-the-clock jazz, a musical art form he described as "America's classical music." Paul's architectural theory, known as "continumorphic space" began forming while at the U of U, and is based upon the natural world. Mother nature makes no two leaves (or anything else) alike and Paul believes the same concept should apply to man's dwellings. His theory purposefully ignores Euclidian geometry and explores space as organic, with related but infinite, distinctive forms, known as "morphs." He wrote a manuscript titled Infinite Variety: A Theory Of Continumorphic Space. Subsequently, he produced a condensed manuscript: The Metaphysics Of Continumorphic Space. Perhaps best known in Salt Lake City for his art, Paul has numerous watercolor paintings in homes and buildings throughout the valley. His expertise with the medium is regarded by some artists to be the best in the state. He also taught watercolor at the Salt Lake Art Center and University of Utah. Paul likes plain old vanilla ice cream, meatloaf and potato dinners, toast with milk, and late-night popcorn. Green is his favorite color. His children, Shawn and Laura, will always remember his eccentric behavior and resulting laughter that brought them to tears. Paul is now living on with enthusiasm, freedom and peace, enjoying his travels in another dimension. He spent a good deal of time "lost in space" while on earth. He will forever remain "Space Cadet Dad" in our hearts. A graveside service will be held Tuesday, August 9, 2005 at 10:30 a.m. in the Salt Lake City Cemetery. Friends and family are welcome to attend. Please email inquiries and/or condolences to the family at laura.ellingson@comcast.net. For those who would like to make a donation in lieu of flowers, please send contributions to the University of Utah, College of Fine Arts in honor of Paul's longtime friendship with Dr. Robert A. Olpin. Published in the Deseret News from 8/7/2005 - 8/8/2005.

Jeff possessed an unparalleled passion for his work; his desire for achievement was inspiring to his colleagues. He began as an engineer amidst the blazes and steam of the Plateau Oil Refinery in Roosevelt, Utah. He ended his career as a visionary, a creator, and a leader for one of America's finest companies. Jeff's path spanned the globe; from Mexico City, where he was escorted by an entourage of bodyguards, to Russia, where he shared his brilliant insights over vodka and caviar. Jeff served as President of the Utah Petroleum Association and Rocky Mountain Oil and Gas Association, and he chaired numerous committees for the National Petroleum Association. The man influenced the lives and minds of many across the world, and forever changed the refining industry. Jeff was generous with his ability and time. He taught many generations of young men how to win. He chaired several campaigns for the United Way of Davis County in an effort to improve local schools. Jeff cared deeply for the environment and acted on his convictions. Former Utah Governor Mike Leavitt appointed Jeff to the Air Quality Board and Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board. More then anything, Jeff was the core of a universe filled with love and happiness, around which many family members and friends revolved. He achieved a supreme level of peace with his family at the cabin in the Uinta Mountains, smoking Cuban cigars, listening to good music, riding snowmobiles, and ensuring all were happy. The world is a lesser place having lost this mountain of a man. Jeff will be missed by Lamar and Cacilia O'Leary, who respected all that he gave to their little girl. The O'Leary sisters very much admired the honor he bestowed upon Kathleen. Nieces and nephews from both the Utley and O'Leary families have lost a wonderful uncle. Jeff is survived by his dearest wife; his greatest admirer and eldest son, Eric; Jesse, his infallible son and pal; his little girl, his princess, Stefanie; his great and loving parents; Sharilee, his protective big sister; his little brother and nearest friend, Glen; his playful and loving little sister, Suzanne; and Flying J, Inc.
