legacy lives in his oldest son Michael, which has inherited his wonderful

Krebs, John Philip
John Philip Krebs Kaysville, Utah John Philip Krebs beloved husband, father,
brother, grandfather, and great grandfather, passed peacefully from this life,
January 10, 2005, at home in Kaysville, Utah. John Philip (Phil), the eldest
of eight children, was born October 20, 1915, in North Logan, Utah, to John
and Martha Berger Krebs. He was raised by a good father and a kind, patient
mother who encouraged him in all he did. Phil always had a great desire for
learning and valued education. He was loved and admired by his brothers and
sisters. He was considered their role model. He attended high school at South
Cache and he graduated from the Utah State Agricultural College in Logan with
a Bachelor's Degree. His first year of teaching was at Dixie High School in
St. George, Utah, where he courted his wife, Clara Neilson. They were married
in the St. George LDS Temple, June 4, 1941. She was his companion and
sweetheart, whom he loved and cherished 63 years. He taught two years at Davis
High and worked at Hill Air Force Base for 29 years. He worked as a Davis
County School District repairman for over 30 years. Phil worked in his own
shop and liked to accommodate his friends by repairing things. It seemed he
could fix anything. He was an expert carpenter, craftsman, potter, artist,
machinist, poet, and a "Jack of All Trades." Phil was an avid reader and
struck up a conversation with anyone he met. He grew up on a farm and never
lost his love of growing things and sharing with others. His garden was always
the "talk of the town." His children and grandchildren treasure the items made
especially for each one of them. Phil was a man of many talents, but his most
prized accomplishment was his family. He loved his sons and daughters and
adored his grandchildren. He was always willing to push them in the swing,
give them a ride in the cart behind the motorcycle, or take them fishing at
the local pond. He loved to fish. He was a member of the Utah Fiddlers
Association and played with them for many years at fairs, senior citizen's
events, weddings, church parties, and barn parties. Clara enjoyed going with
him. She was his most ardent admirer. After retiring Phil and Clara traveled a
great deal. Phil served a stake missionary, ward clerk, Young Men's MIA
Advisor, scout leader, men's choir, and Priesthood teacher in the LDS Church.
He believed in prayer and loved his Savior. In his later years he enjoyed the
Kaysville Bible Church. He truly loved hard work. He was a great example of
service and love to his family and all those he met. Phil is survived by his
wife, Clara, and their loving family, Geraldine Krebs Brown, Logan; John M.
and Judy Krebs, Kaysville; Dwight D. and Martha Krebs, Clinton; Roger and
Carey Krebs, Colorado Springs; LuAnn and Steve Kofoed, Sandy; three sisters

Paulsen, Helen Avon Anderson (Bonnie)
Helen Avon (Bonnie) Anderson Paulsen 1925 ~ 2005 She always thought of herself
as a downtown girl and loved growing up in beautiful Salt Lake City in the
1940's. She enjoyed her first job as a delivery girl for the old Dayne's
Jewelry Co. located at 128 South Main. She loved walking from Z.C.M.I. down
Main Street past T.W. Grant's, F.W. Woolworth's, Kress's and around the corner
on Broadway to the Paris Co., Keith O'Brien's and Auerbach's. She loved to see
and greet people she knew. Helen Avon (Bonnie) Anderson was born on July 10,
1925 - the first child of five born to Alexander Pyper and Helen Mar Woodruff
Anderson. She passed away January 10, 2005. Bonnie had a very happy childhood
growing up in the venerable Woodruff Villa (1891) at 1622 South Fifth East.
She attended South High School and was graduated from the University of Utah
where she was a member of the Tri Delta Sorority. She married the love of her
life, Abel Ellingsen Paulsen, on August 5, 1953 in the Salt Lake L.D.S.
Temple. They were the parents of five children, 22 grandchildren and two
great-grandchildren. She has missed her dear Abel immensely these past four
years. He took such wonderful care of her as her health failed. Bonnie loved
people! She was a hostess at the Beehive House for many years and took great
delight in showing guests through that lovely old home. Later she enjoyed
serving as a guide at the L.D.S. Church Office Building. Bonnie felt it a
great privilege to sing in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and to make musical
recordings with the great orchestras of the world. She and her dear friends
were on the front row directly behind Alexander Schreiner, where they were
able to partake of his musical genius and sparkling wit first hand. Bonnie was
so thankful for her pioneer heritage - those sturdy souls who made their way
across the great plains to come to the Salt Lake Valley and help make it
blossom as a rose. Mom was the best homemaker and made everything she did
beautiful. Christmas was always a special time in the Paulsen home. Everything
was decorated so lovely. Mom loved to make delicious treats for her neighbors
and friends. She learned the art of candy making from her beloved Aunt Evelyn
Woodruff. No one baked or cooked like Mom and we all have the figures to prove
it! The things most dear to Mother's heart were her testimony of the gospel of
Jesus Christ, Abel, her children and grandchildren. She loved her family with
all her heart and in return they loved and adored her. Bonnie is survived by

friend to all, and most recently, uncle to Kaitlin - after living a fast and
glorious life, Cory has excelled to the perfection and gained the serenity he
has always deserved. Cory B. Sovereen, better known as "Sov", was born to
Debbie and Brent Sovereen, September 8, 1970 and raised with the additional
love of his step-father and mentor, Robert Bennion. Cory graduated from
Bountiful High School and Weber State University. His greatest love was
nurturing long term relationships, many of which were conceived while
participating on Bountiful High School and Weber State College basketball
teams. He had a tremendous love for all sports, but excelled at snow skiing,
water skiing and basketball. Yet the times he enjoyed the most, will always be
just hangin' with his brother, Chris, and life-long friend, C.B., his dogs,
Gilda and Nada and all the neighborhood children who loved him so dearly. Cory
will be with us forever with each game of hoops, each powder day and each time
the water is like glass at Lake Powell. It is then when we'll know Cory is
beside us cheering us on to greater achievements. Cory is survived by his
