Buchi "Margie" Marjorie Wignall Buchi passed away peacefully January 6, 2005, at the marvelous age of 76. She endured a lifetime of serious heart and other health problems but never let that slow her down or keep her from doing and accomplishing anything she wanted to do. Marjorie was born November 9, 1928 to John T. and Irene Hansen Wignall. She attended Salt Lake Schools, graduating from West High. She married Keith Walter Buchi February 20, 1948, later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. Four children were born to Marge and Keith, of whom she was entirely dedicated; sons Mark, Brad and Craig, and daughter, Jodi. Marge was a wonderful caring and gifted mother, teacher and mentor to her children and a great supporter of their many activities and interests. She was a very talented and driven individual, volunteering for many worthy organizations and charities, including The Utah Opera Guild, The Assistance League of Utah, The Friendship Force, The University of Utah Athletic program, for which all three of her sons played football, the Chi Omega sorority, when her daughter was an active member and also served faithfully in many callings and assignments within the LDS Church, of which she was a life-long member. She had great strength and faith during her life which helped her through years of health challenges, always rebounding and never complaining or focusing on herself and her problems. She pushed herself way beyond her limitations and kept a wonderful outlook on life and all of its beauties and wonders. Margie was able to laugh at herself and all her infirmities. She was talented and successful in all she undertook. Her many interests and hobbies included teaching and involving her children and grandchildren in various craft projects, cooking, sewing, traveling, entertaining, arranging flowers and enjoying her many friendships, while also serving her community and church with her creative talents. Her grandchildren have fond memories of pajama parties at Christmastime, delicious breakfasts, "proper tea parties" and helping play practical jokes on good friends. You could do anything exciting and a little irreverent with "G-Ma. Marjorie was also a valued employee for Nordstrom, working until her husband became ill with melanoma, thus ending her career there to care for him until his death in November 1988. Three years earlier, Marge and Keith's only daughter died of Hodgkin's disease. Marge tirelessly and lovingly cared for her through a fifteen year-long time period until her death at the age of 28. She also lost her second son, Brad, in 1998. Marge suffered a brain tumor soon after her husband died and then her house caught fire and burned down in 1993. She had two bouts with breast cancer and numerous heart operations to give her more quality and time with her family and friends. She was also known as "Lucky". Marge knew when and how to tie a knot and "hang on". She endeared herself to all and endured most assuredly, to the end. Bravo! Marjorie is survived by sons Mark K. (Denise) Buchi and their children Melissa (Jared) Cottam, Bethany (Jeff) Johnsen, Heather (Cabot) Curtis, Bo (Heidi) Buchi, Whitney, Zach and Ashlyn Buchi, Craig (Tina) Buchi and their children Jett (Robyn) Buchi, Hailey (Steve) Slaugh, Chelsea and Teal Buchi, and by Brad's children, Natalie (Sam) Mercado, Allison (Travis) Mangrum, Annabelle (Preston) Rowlette and Lance and Jessica Buchi.

Tobler, Gilbert George Gilbert George Tobler Will Be Missed Gilbert George Tobler died on January 7, 2005 from complications related to a brain tumor. Gilbert had the good fortune of being born and raised in Santa Clara, Utah by his parents George Ensign Tobler and Otillia Katherine Ence. Gil left Southern Utah in 1942 to serve in the military. After World War II he returned to Utah. He studied at the University of Utah and was an excellent student. He was also a great athlete. He helped the University of Utah football team win their conference title in 1947 and 1948. He was second in the nation for the most interceptions in 1948 and is in the U's record book for returning a kick-off for 103 yards. Gilbert was recruited to play professional football by a number of teams in the NFL. What is extraordinary is that he turned down those offers to serve a mission in South Africa. Upon return from his mission, he married his beloved friend of seven years, Marva Jean Paxman. Gil and Marva were married in September of 1951 in the Salt Lake Temple. In 1955, he graduated from the University of Utah Medical School and specialized in orthopedic surgery. After practicing in Seattle, San Francisco, and New York in the Public Health Service, he and his family settled in Salt Lake City. He worked on staff at the Salt Lake Clinic and at LDS Hospital. He also donated his time and medical skills to those who didn't have access to affordable health care. Gil was a faithful member of the LDS Church in every sense. He spent countless hours studying and pondering the Gospel with an open mind, honest heart and with great faith. He was truly a humble servant. What is remarkable about Gil is that he was always loyal and always worked within the Church to make it a more perfect institution. Gil served the Church in a number of capacities. He was on the LDS General Board Athletic Committee for 13 years. With his wife Marva, Gil served 18 months as a Church service missionary in New Zealand, and together they also served a Central City Service Mission in Salt Lake City. Gil's family admires the unity with which Gil and Marva worked together in the service of others. Above all, Gil was unselfish and compassionate. He was generous with his material possessions as well as with his spirituality. We'll miss his great smile and quick humor.
