She strived to establish a house of prayer, a house of fasting, and a house of faith. She taught by example the principle of sacrifice and of living a life of thrift. She stood at the crossroads for her children and grandchildren until the day she died. She developed particular expertise in fixing home appliances. She spent the last 20 years "helping out" at Chic-fil-A at the Layton Hills mall. This highlight on her resume was particularly enjoyed by her grandchildren, each whom she took individually to Chic-fil-A and All-A-Dollar to celebrate their birthdays. This year, with their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren gathered round them, Carol and Richard celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.

He married Thelma the, love of his life on July 29th, 1937 in the Logan Temple, after courting her since the 6th grade. They worked together and enjoyed each other for their 52 years of marriage. Zane loved the outdoors; fly fishing and gardening were his specialties. Carving bears in his later life provided much enjoyment for himself and others, as well as many trips to the emergency room. Zane visited Brighton in the early 40's on a ski trip and he set out on a career that eventually led to the development of Brighton Ski Resort. Zane was one of the pioneers of the Utah Ski Industry and guided the development of Brighton Ski Resort from 1943 - 1987. He was inducted into the Intermountain Ski Hall of fame in 2002 and later received the SJ Quinney Award for contributions to skiing in the Intermountain West from the University of Utah J. Willard Marriot Library. Needless to say, Zane loved the mountains, his customers and his many employees. He always took pride in working in an industry that provided fun for people, and often said that if not for the help of his many friends he could not have made a go of it. He will be missed by those friends, both young and old who had the privilege of knowing this tough old mountain man. He is survived by two daughters CarolLynn (Don) Palmer and Nanette (Laury) Bullock, sons Michael (Jane), Randy (Debbie), sisters Donna McClain and Pat Burt, 10 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

Following retirement, Jim and Norma moved to St. George in 1984.
