the girls she served through her calling in Young Women's, which she held
until her passing. During Stacie's long battle with ALS she faced every day
with gratitude and thankfulness. Her radiant smile could brighten anyone's
day. She was a humble and shining example of strength, courage, and love to
everyone who knew her and a valiant daughter of God. She, along with her

George, Carter A.
Carter A. George 1936 ~ 2005 Carter A. George, 68, passed peacefully from this
life February 25, 2005 from complications of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).
Surrounded by his loving family, he ended his 14-year struggle with the
disease with his signature courage and faith. Carter was born August 29, 1936
in Bountiful, UT to Aaron Rex George and Edith Laura Amundsen. He spent his
early years in Bountiful, then moved to Bynum, MT when he was eight. He was
one of 18 children and fondly remembered growing up on the family ranch. After
graduating from Choteau High School, he ser-ved honorably in the United States
Marine Corp, where he was a proud veteran of the Korean War. He later
graduated with a BA Degree in English from Utah State University. Carter
married his eternal sweetheart, Renate Erika Krisch, June 17, 1960 in the Salt
Lake LDS Temple. They enjoyed 45 years of wonderful companionship and welcomed
seven children to their home. Their children are Daryl C. George (Diony) of
Salt Lake City, Debra G. Hunsaker (Robert) of Syracuse, David K. George
(Nancy) of Layton, Duane A. George (Aleshia) of Kennesaw, GA, Daniel R. George
(Shirley) of Novi, MI, Dennis M. George (Sarah) of Kaysville, and Demere G.
Knecht (Todd) of Winchester, VA. They were also blessed with 24 grandchildren,
who were his pride and joy. Carter spent several memorable years in the South
at the beginning of his career working as a technical writer, tutor, and life
insurance salesman in Bunswick, GA and Melbourne/ Orlando, FL. In 1975, the
family returned to Utah where Carter was a longtime resident of Kaysville and
Fruit Heights. He was a Certified Financial Planner, CLU and lifelong member
of the Million Dollar Round Table. He was a founding partner of Oxford
Financial Group, served on many professional boards and was highly respected
in his industry. He was at the "top of his game" when he was forced to retire
due to his disease. He loved helping families prepare themselves for their
inevitable future, and when it was no longer feasible to help them through his
chosen profession, he began a second "career" helping his fellowmen and
providing encouragement and assistance to other patients/families struggling
with ALS. He was a sought-after speaker, advocate for the disabled (serving on
the board of Enable Industries) and prolific writer. Carter dictated to his
computer (having no use of his limbs) several cherished books on family
history (including his own history), a guidebook to those with ALS, and
finished just days ago his last book - on dying. Carter was a faithful member
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he served in many
leadership callings including bishoprics, high councils, and stake
presidencies. He endured well, serving as a beloved Sunday School teacher for
the last several years of his life. Carter is survived by his wife, Renate;
seven children and their spouses; 24 grandchildren; his mother-in-law, Emma
Krisch, Bountiful; and brothers and sister, Don George, Shirl E. George, Keith
R. George, Calvin R. George, James L. George, Dale George, and Lois G.
Sessions. He was preceded in death by his parents, Aaron and Edith George;
father-in-law, Wilhelm Krisch; and several beloved brothers and sisters. It
was surely a glorious reunion. Carter always said that when he died, he was
going to strap on his running shoes and run right through those "pearly
gates." His wife and family would like to thank all the family members,
friends, neighbors, business associates, trusted caregivers, members of the
ALS support group and medical professionals who have been such a source of
help and strength these last several years. Funeral services will be held
Tuesday, March 1, 11 a.m. at the Brookhaven LDS Chapel, 190 N. Country Lane in
Fruit Heights. Friends may call Monday, Feb. 28, from 6-8 p.m. at the
