Beal, Boyd Henry In Memoriam Boyd Henry Beal 9/26/1941 ~ 1/3/2004 We respected your wishes not to have an obituary. I need to say Good-Bye. Boyd was the man next to you in the grocery line talking about the weather. He was the man that visited every pawn shop around. He was the guy that overpaid his bills. He loved to buy on the internet. He would do taxes and say pay what you can. But most of all Boyd was that amazing man that took in his three year old grandson. He gave him the love a father would give a son. He was a fountain of knowledge and shared that with our new family member. That child is now seven. Your desire for him to have your name has happened. There isn't a day that goes by that you aren't in his thoughts. When a flock of geese fly over he yells Hi Grandpa . He then looks at me and says Don't cry . I can only cry when he is asleep. So in the still of the night as I lie in our bed the memories flood my mind and that is what I do. I pray this year will give us the time to grieve and allow us some peace. We miss you. Rest in peace our beloved husband and grandpa. Thank you, Gerald Conder. You have helped us accomplish so much this past year. Published in the Deseret News on 1/2/2005.

Hill A Legacy of Optimism and Strength Louise Isabelle (Matthies) Hill died of natural causes December 29, 2004 in Salt Lake City. Her remarkable life was an example of faith, strength, endurance, beauty and patriotism. She blessed the lives of her family and friends for almost 93 years. She was preceded in death by her husband, Dexter C. Hilll; as well as her two brothers Charles and Ken Matthies. She is survived by her son, Keith Hill, who was the light of her life; her daughter-in-law, Kristin (Nelson) Hill whom she treated as a daughter and a friend from the first meeting; and by Erick Hill, her cherished grandson. Louise also leaves her two extended families the Hills (Texas) and the Nelsons, (California) with whom she spent many wonderful, loving, happy times. She was born January 23, 1912 in Salt Lake City to John Matthies and Nellie Brewster Matthies, German and English immigrants. Although she traveled throughout the county, Utah was always first in her heart. She shared priceless memories of her childhood and youth with her family. She watched her father drive one of the first street cars in the city. She skated on the Liberty Park pond at Christmas time. She picked flowers and sold bouquets to her neighbors on Redondo Avenue. And one of her favorite memories was the smell of the cake her mother would bake every Saturday, for Sunday dinner which followed church. Louise's life changed forever the night she met Dex, a handsome young enlisted man from Texas. Their love affair lasted for more than 60 years. She was a model military wife and mother, moving her family across the county seven times and raising her son alone when her husband served his country on three separate tours of duty to Japan. She was a friend and hostess to hundreds of displaced service personnel. When a life passes that was well lived, it is difficult to find the right words. This was a woman who truly knew who she was. She leaves her family lessons of courage, as well as the importance of facing challenge with optimism, and meeting life head-on with humor and grace. Perhaps there is no better legacy for anyone. Funeral services will be Tuesday, January 4th at Holladay Cottonwood Mortuary, 4670 Highland Drive at 11 a.m. Friends may call one hour prior to the service.
