He served an LDS Mission in Great Britain. Graduated from the University of Utah with honors while also active in the ROTC. Upon first meeting of Larue Amundsen of Salt Lake City, Dale knew she was his soul mate and she felt the same. They married on December 29, 1941, while Dale was in the midst of preparing to serve his country in the United States Army, assigned to the 9th Field Artillery of the 3rd Infantry Division. They were later sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple. Dee Ansell was born to this wonderful marriage. Dale considered that he and Larue were "Lovers Forever". Retired from the U.S. Army as Lt. Colonel. Retired as an Engineer for Mtn. Fuel/Questar Gas. A voracious reader, he memorized almost all he read, exhausting all subjects. He and Larue traveled all over the U.S. by car and did their best to golf in almost every state. Golfing, athletics, and sports came easy for him. Dale was a self taught Astronomer. He catalogued the skies and created a revolving chart to show the stars at certain times of night and year. It was magic watching Dale and Larue dance. Music was always a part of Dale Ansell's life. If he wasn't humming some tune, then the stereo was playing or Larue was playing the piano and he was singing along. He had an extremely high I.Q., a brilliant man, however, you felt as if what you were saying was the most important thing to him. He loved his in-law's as if they were his own Sisters and /or Brothers. He loved his Nieces and Nephews as if they were his own children. He was caring, interesting, adventurous, gallant, loving, giving, patient and a Gentleman through and through. He worked hard all his life. He could build and repair almost anything. He lost his Parents, his beautiful Larue, his wonderful son Dee, his Sister Coralee, and his brother Harold before him. It broke his heart, yet he still continued to find beauty in all around him. Dale leaves behind so many, his Grandsons Colter and Jesse Ansell of Cave Creek, Arizona, Austin Ansell of West Jordan, Utah, Kim Ansell of Ansell Ranch in Old Pahreah Area, Kane County, Utah. Dale W. Ansell will be sorely missed by so many people in which it is impossible to list all here; as you read this you know who you are. There will be a ceremony Saturday, December 17, at 11:00 am at the Larkin Sunset Lawn Mortuary, 2350 East 1300 South, Salt Lake City. A tribute will be given to Dale conducted by the U.S. Army sometime between 11:00 and 11:30 am. Dale and his Niece Julie Murphy were in the midst of cataloguing and working on his memoirs of his life. Dale and his adopted daughter Kim Ansell were in the midst of completing his World War II memoirs. Copies will be made after completion for those who are interested. Here's to you Dale W. Ansell, a great Dad, man, friend, father, husband, uncle, brother, and neighbor who will be in our thoughts forever.

The daughter of James Arthur and Elenora Christina Justensen of Moroni, Utah, Ora, or Odie as some called her, moved to Salt Lake City where she met and later married her husband of 67 years, Grant Hermansen. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple April 15, 1955 and are the loving parents of eight children. Ora leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion and selfless service. She was the center of her family both immediate and extended. Her home was open to everyone, without judgment or reservation and no matter the time of day you could be sure her kitchen was open too - you could come for a visit anytime you wanted but, you couldn't leave till you had a bite to eat. She loved evening breezes out of Mueller Park Canyon, thunderstorms in spring, howling coyotes on the Arizona desert and visits from the grandkids. A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she served on the Relief Society board, in primary, Cub Scouts and a variety of other positions. Her greatest joy however, was her family - she saw to their every need and made everyone feel special; she was a faithful wife and mother, who taught by example with patience, kindness and love. We'll miss her at Sunday dinners, birthday parties, showers, weddings, holidays and everyday in-between. Ora is preceded in death by her daughter Maryanne, and sister Helen.

Online condolences www.larkinmortuary.com Merrill, Rev. Jerald H. Rev. Jerald H. Merrill "Jerry" Rev. Jerald Hayden "Jerry" Merrill died at age 80 in Salt Lake City on December 10, 2005. The son of Glenn William Merrill of Preston, Idaho and Edna Lee Hayden of Salt Lake City, he was born in Rigby, Idaho on December 30, 1924. Glenn taught mathematics and social studies and coached athletics in rural high schools in Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. He concluded this career in Moab to enter government service, mainly in Dayton, Ohio. Edna pursued careers as a dress designer in Logan and, later, as legal secretary in Salt Lake City. Both are deceased. Following three years of service in the Air Force during the Second World War as navigator, Jerry completed chemical engineering studies at the University of Utah in 1948. He was employed by Shell Oil Company in the San Francisco bay area for three years, resigning to attend St. Patrick's Seminary, Menlo Park, California. After completing studies in 1958, he was ordained a priest in the Roman Catholic diocese of Salt Lake City at the Cathedral of the Madeleine by the Most Rev. Joseph Lennox Federal, Bishop. He served the Catholic people of Salt Lake City for the next 23 years, teaching science at Judge Memorial Catholic High School and providing pastoral care to the people of Guadalupe Mission, Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, and the Cathedral of the Madeleine. During these years, he developed friendships with students and parishioners that would last all his life and be a great source of joy. Jerry was best known as an organizer of projects. Three programs that he started in the '60s survive him: Guadalupe Schools, now a pre-school through 3rd grade program for children with language and learning deficits, and an evening tutoring program for adults learning English as a second language; Utah Nonprofit Housing Corporation, a sponsor and developer of affordable multi-family housing, which, after 38 years, offers nearly 16,000 rental units to low income families and elderly and disabled people; Catholic Community Credit Union, continuing many years of credit service and counseling. One of the several projects which has not continued is the Guadalupe Center and its popular La Morena Cafe. This community center provided gathering space for Hispanic social action and the cafe offered jobs for employees and funds for projects. In 1982, Jerry resigned from his ministry in the Catholic Church. He never stated publicly his reasons for this decision. Later that year he and Carole Migden Carlisle were married by the Rt. Rev. Wesley Frensdorff, Episcopal Bishop of Nevada. His marriage to Carole and the birth of their son Isaac Marcos "Marc", born the next year, were to bring great happiness to Jerry's life. After efforts to develop an insurance and securities sales business, Jerry was invited by the Rt. Rev. Otis Charles, then Bishop of Utah, who had received him into the Episcopal Church several years earlier, to consider serving as a priest in the Episcopal Church. After time for decision and preparation, Jerry was received as a priest in 1987 at the Cathedral Church of Saint Mark by Bishop Charles. Beginning his ministry to homeless men and women in Salt Lake City, Jerry and a small staff developed The Inn, a day center for the homeless where food, clothing, emergency housing, and information on jobs and housing were provided. These efforts, after a couple of years, grew into the Lotus Project, an employment and job training program. A word about the inner dynamic of this man: He came to realize something of God's immense love for him, as for each human being. Like the mystical bride of "The Song of Songs," Jerry lived the adventure of seeking God in moments of light, when he seemed near, and in life's darkness, when he seemed to have gone away, until that day when they would find each other forever, Jerry is survived by his wife Carole and their son Marc. He is also survived by a younger brother, Dix Glenn Merrill of Centerville and by Carole's elder son, Craig William Carlisle of St. Augustine, FL. Jerry's brother Karl Rowland Merrill and his wife Mary Sweeney Merrill both died in 1993 in Fort Worth, TX; Their five children are living: Kathie Hood, M.D. of Garland, Texas; Terry d'Agustino of Columbus, Oh; Carol Kirkpatrick of Fort Worth, TX; John Merrill of Euless, Texas; and James Merrill of Westerville, Oh.-JHM In a memorial service, the Eucharist of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ will be celebrated Friday, Dec. 16, 2005 at 12:00 Noon at the Cathedral Church of St. Mark, 231 East 100 South.

Upon retiring from the military, he remained in Alaska to raise his family and went on to become a successful businessman.

His greatest source of pride was his family. As a Master Mason, he was known as "Uncle Tom" and thoroughly enjoyed the community service, projects and fellowship within the Lodge.
