Susan was born October 8, 1942, in Salt Lake City to Royal Milton Smith and Hazel Ruby Warburton Smith. Susan spent her early years in Salt Lake City, Elko, and Moab. She married her loving husband, Phillip Eugene Osborne, whom she had met while attending the University of Utah, on October 16, 1963. Phil and "Sparrow" moved the next day to the Bay Area, where Susan subsequently graduated from San Francisco State University with a B.S. degree in Office Administration and a minor in Accounting. After living in San Francisco and the Bay area for nearly a decade, Susan, Phil and their children returned permanently to Salt Lake City. On April 30, 1985, Susan and Phil were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple and sealed for time and all eternity with their three children. Her Mormon faith was a cornerstone in her life, and she enjoyed serving in the Primary, Sunday School, and Young Women's Association. Susan excelled in numerous vocations - as real estate agent, librarian, legal secretary, and most certainly as wife and mother. She retired from the Granite School District in 2004 after a very successful and enjoyable 20-year career. Her last position at the district was as the Administrative Assistant to the Assistant Superintendent of School Services.

Susan enjoyed cooking, sewing, hiking, swimming, and traveling. Her love of travel was kindled during the summer of 1958 when her Girl Scout Troop #1, under the guidance of leader Dorie Melich, traveled by chartered bus from Moab to Mexico. Since then, Susan (the "family travel agent") has traveled with her family and friends to many places - her most favorite places being in Alaska, California, Florida, Hawaii, Mexico, Montana, New York, and Oregon. Susan, or "Grandma Susie," deeply treasured her grandchildren, Milo, Max, Levi, and Emma.

Redenbaugh, Russell Kendall Russell Kendall Redenbaugh 1919 ~ 2005 Beloved and cherished husband, father and grandfather, Russell Kendall Redenbaugh left us on December 5, 2005, five days after his 86th birthday. Born to Russell Craig and Elsie Waterman Redenbaugh, November 30, 1919, he lived his entire life in Salt Lake City. Russ and Martha Janet Garn were married August 1, 1942. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS temple. For 63 years they enjoyed a loving, creative, dynamic union. Russ was educated in the Salt Lake City schools; Irving, South High and the University of Utah. But most of his knowledge came from a challenging life well lived. While still attending the University of Utah he began a career in candy manufacturing. A recruiting and induction specialist during World War II, Russ was one of the first recruiters to enlist women in the Women's Army Corps. Following the war he established Janet Russell Candies in partnership with his wife Janet. Due to their uncompromising work ethic this business prospered for over 60 years until Russ's retirement at age 83. Russ was a renaissance man possessing a keen intellect and impressive range of interests and abilities. A voracious reader he knew something about everything (and if he didn't, he made it up). He loved traveling the world and for a time used his extensive knowledge conducting tours to foreign lands. His analytical, observant mind was continually devising better ways to do things. He used these qualities to contribute to making a better world. His foremost dedication was to his family; his children and grandchildren, the beneficiaries of much attention and tutelage. A young adult convert to the LDS religion, he held numerous leadership positions. Community service was also a priority and as a young man he worked with the Junior Chamber of Commerce; later he served in the Kiwanis Club, as secretary for 15 years and then chapter president. He was a founding member of the Willow Creek Country Club. Russ has gone on to join many loved ones including his son, David Craig Redenbaugh. Among those holding him in cherished memory are his wife, Janet; son, Russell Garn Redenbaugh and his children, David H. Redenbaugh, (wife, Danielle and daughter, Isabel), Allie Redenbaugh, and Jamie Redenbaugh; daughter, Jan Magdalen, and her children, James E.
