Chipman, Grace
Grace Wadley Chipman 09/22/1905~2/3/2005 "A Crown Worn Well " Our mother
finally finished her earthly journey. She was a "twentieth-century woman,"
riding horses to school, living through Haley's comet, baptism in a canal, the
flu epidemic, the Great Depression, four wars, hard work, and all the
vicissitudes of life. She did it with the grace that her name implied. Grace
was third of ten children born to Richard David and Mary Ellen Wadley and grew
up on the family fruit farm in Manila, UT. She was champion fruit picker and
climbed the trees refusing to use a ladder. She married H. Vern Chipman on 24
February 1926 in the Salt Lake Temple. This union produced four children and
lasted over 60 years. She was school lunch manager at Harrington and Forbes
schools for 20 years. She graduated from the first LDS Seminary class and
earned her Young Women Medallion at age 92. Eighty years ago Grace was crowned
the first Strawberry Days Queen in Pleasant Grove, Utah. When she was honored
again at age 88, the audience was awed by her beauty and nobility. To be queen
for a day does not require much effort, to be a queen for a year requires
more, but to walk in a queenly fashion for a life-time requires an inner
beauty and grace that few possess. Mom wore her crown well. Her children are
Dorothy Strasburg, Richard H. Chipman, Don B. (deceased) and Irene West.
Surviving siblings are Arvil Wadley, Clifton Wadley, Leah Robinson She was the
"world's best grandma" to 19 grandchildren, 48 great-grandchildren, 15
great-great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Monday, 7 Feb 2005 in

Court, Jay Cameron
Jay Cameron Court 1974 ~ 2005 Jay Cameron Court, 30, passed away on February
4, 2005, in an untimely snowmobiling accident at Jackson Hole, WY. Cameron was
born in Logan, UT on May 19, 1974, to David Cameron Court and Dianna K Court.
Cameron had a passion for all sports and excelled particularly in soccer,
skiing and tennis. But, he was happiest when he was just hanging out with his
buddies hiking up a mountain or camping next to a great fly fishing stream.
How he will be missed by his parents and his two sisters who idolized him,
Kristina Court Holley (Brad), of LaFayette, IN and Lisa Court Robinson
(Gregory) of West Lake Village, CA. He will leave a huge void in the life of
his precious niece and nephew, Kambria and Garrik Robinson to whom he was the
greatest hero in the universe. He leaves behind the love of his life, Andrea
Fazzini. His sense of humor, his love of God and for others, his respect for
his mom and dad, are traits that merely touch the surface of who he really is.
His tremendous "Joy of Living" touched many lives. Cameron served an LDS
mission to Brazil, was educated at UVSC and spent several years in Nashville,
TN as a singer/songwriter. His amazing and heavenly voice will continue to
give us comfort in the difficult and lonely days ahead. Cameron, thanks for

Elkins, Rita Paola Palmieri
Rita Elkins 1950 ~ 2005 Rita Paola Palmieri Elkins, 54 passed away peacefully
Friday, February 4, 2005. Rita was born in Florence, Italy March 16, 1950 to
Josephine Frances Lupo and Dr. Antonio Fulvio Palmieri. She personified the
characteristics of the city in which she was born - beauty, art, grace, and
inspiration. In 1953 Rita immigrated to the United States with her father,
mother, and young sister on the Italian ocean liner, The Conte Biancamano. She
resided in Arlington and Richmond, Virginia, throughout her childhood where
she developed her talents in painting and writing, and her love for the arts.
At the age of 18 Rita became a true pioneer for her Italian Catholic family
when she moved west to attend Brigham Young University. It was there that she
was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Upon
returning to Virginia she paved the way for her mother and sister to also be
baptized by inviting the missionaries to their home. One of these young
elders, Robert Scott Elkins, was to become Rita's future husband. Rita and
Scott were sealed December 17, 1971 in the Salt Lake Temple. They made their
home in Orem, Utah where they became the parents of two beautiful daughters,
Tanya Michelle, and Taryn Melissa. When her children became older, Rita
returned to Brigham Young University to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in
Design and later a Master's degree in Art History. Rita went on to teach in
the Art History Department and served as president of the Art History
Association at BYU. She soon became a favorite professor among students.
Oftentimes, students took Rita's class just to fill a requirement, but were so
inspired by her passion for the subject that they later went on to major in
Art History. Her quick wit, intellect, and sense of humor brought the subject
matter to life for all who attended her class. Throughout her life, Rita held
many callings within the church. Whether it be serving as Relief Society
president, gospel teacher, or Young Women advisor, Rita brought to all of her
church callings a love and dedication that truly made a difference in the
lives of those she served. She had an incredible gift for teaching gospel
principles because of her ability to relate to everyone. Rita had a particular
interest for reading and reporting on health-related subjects. She became a
well-known author in the natural health field, publishing dozens of titles,
one of which received the honor of Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year. Rita
had a rare strength about her that radiated to everyone who knew her. She was
known for Italian cooking, Christmas mornings, innovative Halloween costumes,
extraordinary camp cooking, a passion for politics and patriotism, treasure
hunts at thrift stores, gardening, spoiling grandkids, and impeccable taste
and style. Most of all, Rita's greatest love was spending time with her
family, especially her two granddaughters, Taylor Michelle and McKenna
Josephine Gardner. Rita will be missed by her husband, Scott; daughters, Tanya
(Jon) Keller, Taryn (Brian) Gardner; granddaughters, McKenna and Taylor;
sister, Bianca (David) Lisonbee; mother-in-law, Gladys Elkins. She was
preceded in death by her mother and father, Josephine and Antonio Palmieri;
and her father-in-law, Col. Robert Elkins. Ti volgliamo bene, Rita. Sempre
famiglia! Funeral services will be held Tuesday February 8, 2005, at 11 a.m.
in the Orem East Stake Center, 810 East 600 North, Orem. Family and friends
may call Tuesday at the stake center from 9:30-10:45 a.m. Interment will be in
the Orem Cemetery.

family. She was an active member of the LDS church and served in many
callings. Her favorite was her last calling, to call all the sisters in the
ward on their birthday; the sisters loved it and her too. One of Kelly's great
loves was music. She sang with the Salt Lake Symphonets, and with Larry in the
Salt Lake Symphonic choir. Kelly had an uncanny ability to turn every one she
met into a new friend. You couldn't go anywhere with Kelly without meeting
someone she knew. She had so many friends because she knew how to be a friend;
Kelly always put others before herself, her sincere thoughtfulness and ability
to care for others made her loved by all those that knew her. Funeral services

giving birth to her baby at home under the care of a lay midwife. When Karen

died of complications of pre-eclampsia and placenta accreta. Karen is greatly
missed by her Salt Lake family, Lynn Nicholas and Wallace Graham, and

blessed us with a beautiful baby girl, Aryana Karen Maffly, in whom her spirit

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.
