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 the memories. We love you.

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!

She was preceded in death by her parents; and brother, David Richard. Kelly lived her life her way; she loved the Lord and adored her 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 will be held Wed-nesday, February 9, 2005, at 12 noon, in the Taylorsville North Stake Center, 1250 West 4375 South (Ath-erton Drive).

Oldroyd, Douglas Clark Douglas Clark Oldroyd 1959 ~ 2005 Douglas Clark Oldroyd returned home to his Heavenly Father February 5, 2005 following a heroic battle with cancer. He left this life in the loving arms of his eternal companion, Julie. Doug was born January 16, 1959 at the Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, Utah, and grew up in Springville. Early on, he developed both a sweet, loving spirit and a mischievous sense of humor and wit, which he carried with him throughout his life. Doug had a strong testimony of the gospel, which he continued to share with his family and many friends shortly before his passing. His life was defined by his devotion to his church. He served a mission in Columbus, Ohio. Throughout his life, he held many callings in the church and performed each faithfully. Doug graduated from Springville High, where he was an avid athlete. He was an all-star baseball player, basketball player, and golf team member. Through golf he met many of his closest friends. Partly through the sport, he developed and maintained a very close relationship with his father. He was also able to share his love of the sport with his sons and daughter, which provided them with many sweet and memorable experiences. After his mission, he began schooling at Southern Utah University, Utah Valley State College, and Brigham Young University. While working in Provo, Utah as a plant manager for Nubrite, he met his sweetheart, Julie Wardell at JB's restaurant in 1983. The two were married for time and all eternity September 28, 1984 in the Salt Lake Temple. Doug's life was marked by his devotion and dedication to his family. He was a wonderful, involved and dedicated father who sacrificed and worked hard to provide for his wife and children. He loved each deeply and had a special relationship with each one. Doug will be remembered for having a kind and gentle character, and a big heart. He loved those whom he came into contact with, and this in turn made others love him. He was selfless, often during his battle with cancer he would inquire what he could do to serve those whom had come to serve him. His fighting spirit will also be remembered. He won the Friday only golf tournament of the Art City Amateur during his chemotherapy treatments, cheered on by many of his closest and loving friends. He also worked tirelessly, and with great pain following his chemotherapy to continue to support his family. At such a time, there are few words which can express so wonderful a life and so excellent a man as Douglas Oldroyd, and many are left with an appropriate hole in their hearts. To know Doug is to love Doug. Truly, he can proclaim, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." Doug is survived by his wife, Julie Wardell Oldroyd; sons, Alexander Clark, Stuart Dean, Nathan Wayne; and his angel daughter straight from heaven, Lauren Dawn; father, Berdean E. "Dean"; brother, Donald Dean (Kiku) West Jordan, UT; and sisters, Patricia Hansen, Tucson AZ, Maureen Chamberlain (Greg), Hurricane, UT, Wendy Lamoreaux (Terry), West Jordan, UT, Marie, American Fork, UT, Lisa Vance (Tevis), Chubbuck, ID; and many in-laws whom he loved as his own. He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Elsa. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, February 8, 2005, 11 a.m. at the Hobble Creek Stake Center, 450 South Canyon Drive in Springville. Friends and family will be received at a special gathering Monday evening, February 7, from 6-8 p.m. at the same location. Interment will be at the Springville Evergreen Cemetery. The family wishes to express sincere thanks to the many doctors and nurses who helped care for Doug, as well as the many family, friends and ward members who have supported and loved us. Doug continued to endear himself to others to the very end with his positive attitude, sense of humor and kindness. We'll love you for always, we'll like you forever, from now till forever, my sweetie, our father, son, brother, and friend you'll be.

Paulsen II, Lars Finn Lars Finn Paulsen II "Heart-fully Ours" Lars Finn Paulsen II, was born February 3, 2005 and lived miraculously for a little over an hour. His physical heart was a perfect symbol of his tremendous love as he literally wore it on the outside of his chest for the world to behold. At the inspired vision of his mother, we as a family earnestly sought and came to know "Little" Lars in the womb, over the last eight months. From his dad's journal let us tell you something about who he is: "He is fun, outgoing and optimistic. He has a great relationship with his mom and loves to tease her affectionately. I see him giving her big bear hugs and razzing her. He loves adventure and at times gets himself into trouble by acting without thinking. He has no fear. He skis, bikes and plays with daring abandon. He has a strong and pure testimony of the gospel. I see him sharing the gospel with great power and humility. I see him compassionately crying and empathizing with people and using his good and witty humor to draw people in. He has a medium build and is neither short nor tall. His smile is contagious and his blue eyes easily moisten in tender moments. He has tremendous tenacity and courage with a will that drives him to succeed and not give up even when faced with incredible challenges. He is passionate. He does love BMW M3's like me. He is a dreamer and creative and yet this is balanced with his simple insights and wisdom of all that is around him." He is intimately known by us and we celebrate him as a son, brother, grandson, and friend. We, his parents, ache to hold him and look forward to filling our empty arms with his warm embrace. He is survived by his parents, Lars and Lori Paulsen; his brother, James; his sisters, Olivia and Ana; and his many loving extended family members. We would like to thank all of those whose prayers, faith and love helped bring about the miracle of his birth! We'd also like to thank the U of U medical staff for their tender care and compassion.

Pratt 2/7/53 ~ 4/16/04 Today is the first Anniversary of your birthday since you passed away almost one year ago Roger and we love and miss you more each day. Even watching "Jazz" basketball games on TV isn't nearly as much fun without you and Dad. Looking forward to a joyous reunion together someday. Love, Mom and Family Published in the Deseret News on 2/7/2005. Sclafani, Karen In Memoriam Karen Sclafani 10/28/66 ~ 2/7/04 Our beloved Karen had a dream: giving birth to her baby at home under the care of a lay midwife. When Karen developed pre-eclampsia, her husband took her to the nearby hospi tal in Bozeman, Montana, where she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Karen later died of complications of pre-eclampsia and placenta accreta. Karen is greatly missed by her Salt Lake family, Lynn Nicholas and Wallace Graham, and particularly by her husband Brian Maffly, a former Tribune reporter. Karen blessed us with a beautiful baby girl, Aryana Karen Maffly, in whom her spirit lives on...For further information and pictures, see Karen's website at www.karensclafani.com Published in the Deseret News from 2/6/2005 - 2/8/2005.
