her beloved Mount Timpanogos, graduated from Pleasant Grove High School and
attended BYU. She married Michael Hogarty in 1965. They lived in Michigan and
California before retiring in Utah in 1986. Anna was a woman of beauty, grace
and style. She lived as a feminist long before it was a "dirty word" and
delighted in it all the more when it became one. True to her pioneer heritage,
she was strongly determined, fiercely loyal and unwavering in her spirit. Anna
was a lover of beauty with an artistic eye. She was most at peace "digging in
the dirt" of her garden and enjoying the results. She was an avid fan of all
sports. Her recall of sports trivia past and present was uncanny. Above all,
Anna had the gift to turn acquaintances into friends, friends into family and
family into her reason for being. For many years she was the loving caretaker
of her sister Maxine and later of her husband Michael. She remained ever
selfless and devoted to their care. When she became the loving "Gromma" of
Michael Baker, her devotion knew no bounds. He found in her a playmate,
cheerleader and confidante. When her second grandchild Anne Marie Baker was
born, Gromma became the expert in all things girl--ruffles and frills,
dress-up and dolls, tea parties and sleepovers. Anna is survived by her
stepdaughter Nancy Hogarty Baker, son-in-law Lewis Baker, grandchildren
Michael and Annie, nieces Bonnie Bateman, Margo Tucker, Nancy Nielson; nephews
Bob, Dale, Mark Atwood and Scott Nielson; sister-in-law Gay Atwood; special

Steiner, Richard Russell
RR Steiner 2/26/1923 ~ 1/31/2005 Richard Russell Steiner, prominent Salt Lake
City businessman, died Monday, January 31, 2005 at the University of Utah
Hospital after a short but fierce battle with pneumonia. He was a few weeks
shy of his 82nd birthday. Born in Chicago, February 26, 1923, Dick attended
schools in Salt Lake and Chicago. After graduating from the Riverside Military
Academy in Georgia, he started college, but left to join the U.S. Army Air
Corps in 1942. He flew troop-carrying glider planes and C-47s in the South
Pacific during World War II, flying over fifty combat missions. He was awarded
the Distinguished Flying Cross for his wartime service. After the war, he
completed his education at Dartmouth College and graduated magna cum laude
with a degree in economics in 1948. He was a Phi Beta Kappa. Dick joined
American Linen Supply Company, the business started by his grandfather. It is
now known as Alsco. When Dick took the helm of the business from his father in
1959, the company had grown into a business with 22 industrial laundry plants
in three countries. Under Dick's leadership it grew to an organization of 127
plants in nine countries, now one of the "Forbes 400" largest private
companies. Stepping aside as President of the company four years ago, Dick
continued as Chairman of the company and remained very active in the affairs
of the business. Dick had served on the boards of First Security Bank, Walker
Bank, Holy Cross Hospital, and the Salt Lake Airport Authority. He was a
member of the Salt Lake Country Club and the Alta Club. Sports and the
outdoors were an important part of Dick's life. As a child Dick was a horseman
and had many an adventure on (and off) his barrel fat, sly pony Cherry and his
recalcitrant horse Prince. He would sometimes ride from the Fort Douglas
stable down South Temple to see his grandparents. As a teenager he was a
competitive swimmer, and his devotion to that sport led to building the two
Steiner Aquatic Centers on Guardsman Way and California Avenue in Salt Lake.
As an adult he took up scuba diving, and just last week at grandson Jamie's
fifth birthday party, he regaled everyone with the story of diving with his
brother Bob in the Florida keys when they met an enormous hammerhead shark,
who took a couple of passes at them. Frightened, they high-tailed it to the
surface and clambered into the boat, and Bob said, "Now I know why divers
always use the buddy system-there's a 50-50 chance the shark will eat the
other guy!" In his amusing and often self-deprecating stories, he typically
gave someone else the punch line. He enjoyed hunting. In November, he went
back out duck hunting scarcely a week after a fall getting out of the boat
required many stitches in his hands. He was dogged golfer and he loved playing
at the Salt Lake County Club. He was an avid skier, and had learned every
innovation in skiing technique since the Arlberg strap was in use, but no
instructor ever really altered his distinctive style. He never stopped taking
ski lessons. He skied at Park City eleven days before his death. He also
enjoyed playing bridge. He deeply treasured the good friends who shared all
these activities with him over the years. A licensed pilot from the age of 16,
Dick flew a variety of aircraft over his long flying career, from an Air Coupe
to a Citation II corporate jet. He gave up jet flying at the age of 77, but
continued to fly a motor-glider with his son Robert through last summer. On
December 6, 1949, Dick married Colleen Kearns Steiner, who died February 1,
1978. Later, he met and shared a 25 year friendship with Louise Judd, until
her death in 2003. He was also preceded in death by his parents Frank and Ruth
Steiner, his brother Bob, and his daughter-in-law, Jackie. Dick's three
children, Robert, Kevin, and Sheila, along with daughter-in-law Alice, were
with him when he died. Generous, exacting, diligent, dignified and unflinching
from beginning to end, Dick will be deeply missed by his children and their
spouses, and by his six grandchildren, Robin and Andrew Steiner, Alexis and
Elizabeth Asher, and Francesca and Jamie Steiner. A Memorial Service will be
held at the Cathedral of the Madeleine, 331 E. So. Temple St. in Salt Lake
City, on Sat., February 5th, at 10:30 a.m. Please, in lieu of flowers, send
donations in his memory to the University of Utah Hospital, 175 North Medical
Drive East, Salt Lake City, Utah 84132-5902.

Stephens, Kathryn Whitney
Kathryn Whitney Stephens In Remembrance Kathryn Whitney Stephens, 56, passed
from this life on Tuesday, February 1, 2005, from complications of leukemia at
UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Kathryn was affectionately known to her
family and many friends in Utah, Idaho, California and beyond as "Wooz," a
family nickname first given to her maternal grandmother and namesake, Kathryn
Whitney Kearns. Kathryn was born on January 16, 1949, to James D. Stephens and
Kathryn Jane Kearns Durkin Stephens in Salt Lake City. After suffering the
loss of her mother in a tragic accident, Kathryn, while still a young
teenager, unhesitatingly took on the role "mom" for her younger sister and
three younger brothers. She taught them everything from proper manners to bold
skiing in the Wasatch Mountains. From this early age and throughout her life,
she continually attended to the needs of others. She graduated from St. Mary
of the Wasatch High School and the University of Utah. Later, she later earned
a master's degree in social work from Loyola University, Chicago. Desiring to
dedicate her life to serving people, she joined the Sisters of the Holy Cross
based in South Bend, Indiana. Following the traditions of this community, she
worked in education and parish ministry. After 20 years with the sisters, she
followed her heart in a new direction devoting herself to working with people
with HIV/AIDS, most recently at St. Agnes Medical Center in Fresno,
California. Using her gifts as a woman of faith and a skilled social worker,
she touched clients and their families spiritually and as well as in the
practical aspects of daily living. Kathryn always shared everything she had.
She created the Whitney Foundation based in Fresno, to assist people who might
otherwise "slip between the cracks" of mainstream aid sources. The
foundation's motto "From charity to change" reflects the mission of "assisting
others in bringing about positive change in their lives so that they can
become self-sustaining, confident and productive members of society." Her
illness and the attention it drew from the many people who dearly loved her
surprised her. She much preferred to be the giver of care, rather than the
center of attention. In her own remarkable way--throughout her life, through
her trying illness, and even in her final days--Wooz/Kathryn exhibited her
courageous spirit, unyielding perseverance, and unending patience. Kathryn is
survived by her father, James D. Stephens of Salt Lake City; stepmother Jean
Stephens of Salt Lake City; sister Dede Stephens (Cindy) of Kamas, Utah;
brother James D. Stephens Jr. (Lauren) of Lopez Island, WA; brother Terence K.
Stephens of Salt Lake City; brother Roger Stephens (Eileen) of Walnut Creek,
CA; brother Tom Durkin of Salt Lake City; her loving companion Ellen Bush of
Fresno; nieces and nephews Danny Stephens, Jessica Stephens, Jake Stephens,
Meghan Stephens, Kathryn Stephens, Danielle Durkin, Rory Durkin; beloved aunt
Jennie Campbell (Chris). A service celebrating Kathryn's life will be held in
Fresno in several weeks. The family suggests contributions to the Whitney
Foundation, 323 W. Cromwell, Fresno, California, 93711.

Wagner, I.J. "Izzi"
I.J. "Izzi" Wagner "Semper Fi" Irving Jerome "Izzi" Wagner, 89, died Feb. 1,
2005 in Salt Lake City after a long life and a short illness. Izzi was born
March 31, 1915 at 144 W. Third South in Salt Lake City, the second of three
children of Harry and Rose Wagner. He was a proud alumnus of West High School,
class of 1932. When Harry died in 1932, Izzi and Rose took over the family
business, Wagner Bag Co., then heavily in debt during the Depression. They
built the business into one of the most successful companies of its kind in
the country. The family later sold Wagner Bag to St. Regis Paper Company, and
Izzi served on the St. Regis board of directors for many years. Izzi's
lifelong commitment to improving Salt Lake City helped shape the downtown
community. He was a long-time member of the Salt Lake Planning and Zoning
Commission, where he led the campaign to remove oversized signs and billboards
from downtown streets. He was on the Salt Palace Advisory Board when the
Convention Center was built and on the Airport Advisory Board when it was
reorganized as an independent board. In 1978, Utah Holiday Magazine named Izzi
one of the 20 most influential men in Utah. At one time, Izzi and various
partners owned properties on the west side of Main Street between Second and
Third South. He bought Trolley Square when it was just dilapidated bus barns.
He developed Wagner Industrial Park and he bought and sold other properties in
Salt Lake City and Ogden. His generosity made possible the Rose Wagner
Performing Arts Center, built on the site of the adobe house where he was
born, and the I. J. and Jeanne Wagner Jewish Community Center near the
University of Utah. He made significant contributions to LDS Hospital,
University Hospital and other health care organizations. He joined the Marines
in 1942 and was among the first troops ashore at Guadalcanal, where he
contracted malaria and was evacuated to the States. (He joked that a mosquito
saved his life during World War II.) He was a long-time board member of Zions
Bancorporation and a member of the Salt Lake Rotary Club, the
Japanese-American Civic League, the Utah Manufacturers Association, and other
business and civic organizations. His wit and humor made him a popular speaker
and valued friend. Izzi married his beloved Jeanne Rasmussen in August, 1942.
She died in 1993. He is survived by sister-in-law, Kay Schott, two nieces,
Saundra Peterson and Candace Wagner, and dozens of friends from all walks of
life. Izzi was buried in the B'Nai Israel Cemetery in Salt Lake City. At his
request, there was no funeral. Those wishing to do so may make contributions
in his memory to the Wagner Jewish Community Center.
