Brunyer, Clarence Gayle
GRANDPA Clarence Gayle Brunyer, 80, passed away February 12, 2005, surrounded
by his family at the University of Utah Medical Center from head injuries
sustained in an accidental fall. Gayle was born June 6, 1924 in Tooele, Utah
to Clarence and Ruth Adamson Brunyer. He graduated from Tooele High in 1942
and married his high school sweetheart, Blanche Hale, August 22, 1942.
Together they raised three daughters and one son prior to divorcing in 1971.
Gayle joined the U.S. Navy in 1943 and was stationed in San Diego, California.
After completing training he was assigned to the US Marshall on which he did a
tour of duty to the South Pacificf during World War II. In 1945, upon
completion of his tour, he returned to his hometown of Tooele where he began
raising his family. Gayle's career in the petroleum products business started
as a service station manager for the Chevron Oil Company in Tooele. Because of
his hard work, ethics, and outstanding personality he was offered a Chevron
Oil distributorship in the Salt Lake valley that would be called the Gayle
Brunyer Murray/Midvale Distributorship. After many years of hard work, not
leaving Chevron, he entered business with Bingham Gas & Oil. After nearly 40
years of service to Chevron Oil, he continued in various other services in the
petroleum business. During his retirement years he enjoyed and took pride in
working as an usher at the Delta Center. He also worked for the past 25 years
as a marshal on the golf courses of Mountain View and the Old Mill which he
loved with all his heart. Gayle had many favorite hobbies - #1 was golf. If he
could be on the golf course he would consider that as close to heaven as you
could get. His lifetime dream was to get a hole-in-one, which will not happen
here on earth. He loved the outdoors. He was an avid sportsman, including
camping, fishing, and hunting. In his free time he most enjoyed being around
his family. If no family members were around, he would go to his basement
where he produced some of the finest woodworking projects you could imagine,
ranging from post office piggy banks "which he made for as many
great-grandchildren as time permitted" to bird houses. Gayle was
one-of-a-kind. There will not be any other just like him. We all love him very
much. There will not be a day pass by that he will not be remembered. He is
survived by his loving companion of 25 years, Barbara Pratt; and her two
daughters, Polly and Mary Anne (Randy); and Gayle's three daughters, Gayla

and the memories of exploring Southern Utah's red rock parks and other
picturesque places together will never be forgotten. Also cherished are

Weston, Etna Margaret Richins
Etna Margaret Richins Weston 1916 ~ 2005 Etna left the gray mists of
Alzheimer's behind reaching upward for the brightness of eternity on February
10, 2005, in Bountiful, Utah. Etna was surrounded by her family who cherished
her, especially her devoted husband, Dwayne, who has tenderly and lovingly
cared for her during the 11 long years of her disease. Etna Margaret Richins
Weston was born February 29, 1916 in Henefer, Utah, to Harvey William and
Sarah Margaret Calderwood Richins from whom she received a noble heritage and
faith to sustain her throughout her life. She had four brothers, Roy, Leo,
Delbert and Arthur, and a sister, Verda. Etna graduated from North Summit high
school in 1934 and later attended Stevens-Henager College. She was working at
Remington Arms when she met her sweetheart, Dwayne. Their marriage on
September 14, 1943 in Chicago, Illinois, was later sealed in the Salt Lake
Temple. Etna had three great loves in her life: her love for her sweetheart
Dwayne, her love for her Savior, and her love for her family. Etna took great
joy in her companionship with Dwayne; even in the depths of Alzheimer's she
was able to express her love for him. Etna's love for the Savior was shown
through dedication to her many church callings and service to her family,
friends, and anyone she saw in need. Each day she prayed to know who needed
her help. Etna's love for her family was shown through her many talents of
cooking, sewing, crocheting, embroidery work, and quilting. Most of all, she
expressed her love through thoughtful deeds and through her example - Etna
lived what she believed, a Christ-like life. Etna was preceded in death by her
parents and two brothers, Roy and Leo. She is survived by her husband, Dwayne,

Witt, Dean Patrick
Dean Patrick Witt 2/13/78 ~ 1/9/04 Twenty five and starting my life- Newborn
son, little girl, and my beautiful wife. Appendicitis is all I had- Why did
medical procedures go so bad? Wasn't my choice to miss being here- Alexis, our
third Anniversary I wasn't there. Noah's 1st Birthday, Hannah's Christmas
dress- Medical malpractice caused all this distress. Missed it all at twenty
seven- You said goodbye and sent me to Heaven. We miss you Dean! Love and
kisses for Valentines Day!
