perseverance, integrity and an enviable work ethic. He held several jobs in

parts and products, poultry processing and a plant manager for a popular ice
cream manufacturer. He married M. Isabella Shepherd, July 11, 1936 in

Temple. As an active member of the LDS church, he gave genuine service to both
his God and his community. In 1992, he was preceded in death by his wife of 56
years. He is survived by his faithful dog Kita; son and daughter-in-law,
Richard S. and Ann Miller Eastlyn; three grandsons, Rich, Erik and his wife
Ruth, Ryan and his wife Emily and their two children Oskar and Hazel, all of
Salt Lake City. In his final years, Walter received extraordinary love and
personal care from his grandson Erik and Erik's wife Ruth, who together made
his last years so worthwhile and joyful - thank you! Also, special thanks to
all of the staff at Elderly Manor, Garden Terrace Rehabilitation and Hearts of
Hospice -your loving care shall always be remembered for making Walter's final

children including four brothers; Ray, Basil, Cleon and Varold and three
sisters; Arilla LaPearle, Elma Knaus and Verl Greene. She grew up riding
horses and working on "father's" farm and camp cook for cowboys on the summer

and buggy and railroad to the modern conveniences of every day life and the
age of scientific achievement. On her 100th birthday she was tickled to ride
in a 1913 Maxwell that fit her "just right". After becoming an adult, Ethel

vegetables. She enjoyed all things beautiful to see and pleasant to hear. She
loved to hear the beautiful voices, other musical and artistic talents
developed by her vast family. Ethel was preceded in death by her loving
husband George and their eldest son Delmar (Anneli). She is survived by Orvel

baby boy, age 15, passed away on Sunday, February 6, 2005. Carter was born on
August 23, 1989 to Chuck and Lita Smith. Although Carter remained a baby

smile that could soften any heart and a giggle that was absolutely contagious.
Through him, we learned the joy of service and unconditional love, and the
sweet comfort of cuddling. He attended Monte Vista and Windridge Elementary.
The family appreciates how much the children and staff at these schools opened
their hearts to our little boy. Carter loved school, and especially loved all
the attention he got there. Carter leaves a void in the hearts of his parents;
his sisters, Carly and Courtney Smith, and Christy Williams, his
brother-in-law Jeff Williams, his grandmothers, Corrie Asmus and Mollie Smith,
and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. In heaven, Carter's reunion with his
brother Cameron must have been joyous. He was also greeted by his
grandfathers, Stephen Asmus and Frank Smith, his Aunt LaVerle McCurdy, and his
cousins, Tom and Andy Jackman, and Jenny Koceja. Carter's family wishes to

constant medical needs, he was considered uninsurable. In lieu of flowers,
donations to help cover expenses can be made at any Zions Bank in Carter's
name. Any excess will be donated to Primary Children's Medical Center, so that
they can continue to give their services as generously as they gave to Carter.
