discomfort and lengthy treatments for her illness, Jennifer was an example of
the utmost personal courage, grace and example to others. Heeding the Savior's
charge to be of good cheer, she had a ready smile and voice of confidence that
were a constant source of strength of her family and friends. She viewed her
nieces and nephews as her own, often sharing her joy of travel with them. She
took great joy in being with them and seeing them enjoy whatever she was able
to share. Jennifer is survived by her parents, brother David (Lisa Scharffs)

Wood, Carla Williamson
Carla Williamson Wood "CJ" Carla Jean Williamson Wood, 50, passed away July
13, 2005 after a brief battle with cancer. She was born February 26, 1955 in
Los Angeles, CA, to Charles and Shirley Williamson. She was a superb musician,
as both a classical pianist as well as a distinguished operatic vocal soloist.
Carla's work as a soloist carried her to the Metropolitan Opera and New York
City Opera in New York as well as numerous regional opera houses, including
Utah Opera. She was well known in oratorio and symphonic works with orchestras
around the United States. Carla utilized her experience and insight to begin
the New York Opera Newsletter in 1988. Due to her inspired vision and pulse on
the classical singing world, the newsletter expanded beyond a New York City
audience and became the international publication Classical Singer magazine.
During 18 years as Editor-in-chief Carla made a dramatic impact on the
profession of classical singing. Her deep commitment to helping singers
succeed, coupled with her creativity, courage, and drive led to an
international publication with over 6,000 readers in 50 states and 25
countries. Her humor, wit, and graciousness, hallmarks of this great woman
were present to the end. She kept nurses, family, and friends laughing and
lifted the spirits of those who came to lift hers. She will be sorely missed
as she begins (in her own words) "the next great adventure." Carla is survived
by her husband David, son David, daughter Lindsey, mother Shirley Ostler and
sisters Cathy Winward and Christianne Jacobsen. She is preceded in death by
her father and sister, Carol. Funeral services will be held Monday July 18,

Mortuary 1950 East 10600 South and one hour prior to the services at the

Memorial Vocal Scholarship has been established at BYU so that Carla may
continue to have a lasting impact on upcoming singers for generations to come.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to her legacy through this
scholarship. Donations may be made to The Carla Wood Memorial Vocal
Scholarship, Brigham Young University Philanthropies, A-501 HFAC, Provo, UT
