Sceili 1927 ~ 2005 On July 15, 2005, the world lost a great lady. The family of Barbara Jeanne Sandberg Sceili is celebrating her wonderful life. Bobbie was the epitome of class, compassion and composure, with her wry sense of humor intact right to the very end. Born August 10, 1927, Bobbie was the eldest daughter of Elmer T. Sandberg and Dorothy Ann Bates Sandberg. She grew up in Sugarhouse and attended high school at South High. She then transferred to, and graduated from, Paso Robles High School in San Luis Obispo, CA at the age of 16 after her father was activated in the National Guard during World War II. She was so proud of her father and the service he rendered for his country. She met Vernon Sceili (or 'Sceili' as she affectionately called him) during her time at South High School. They were married for 45 years and together raised six beautiful children. Bobbie was very athletic and enjoyed skiing, swimming, tennis, bowling, and especially fishing at Strawberry Reservoir. She spent many happy afternoons at the baseball field. Even after Sceili died, she continued to watch many sports on television. Everyone was welcome to watch "the big game" with her. Music held a special place in her heart. She took pleasure in playing the piano and listening to her grandchildren play too. She always enjoyed singing carols at Christmas parties. Education was also very important to Bobbie and she was an avid reader as well. At one point, she worked full-time, raised her family, and attended Westminster College part-time in order to achieve her goal of earning a college degree. She reached this goal in 1987 at age 59, graduating with a BS in Behavioral Sciences. She loved her career in social work and especially her work with the Norm Anderson Award Committee. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and lived in the Brookshire Ward more than 40 years. Above all, her family was most important to her. She was known for her open door (literally) and her attentive ear. Many, many people from all different walks of life sat at her kitchen table. Through her shining example, she taught us patience, tolerance, generosity, and unconditional love. Even at the very end, she was worried about getting out birthday cards. She showed amazing strength in the face of adversity. She was so supportive of her family, unfailingly attending every game, performance and recital she possibly could, sometimes traveling many miles to do so. She was the rock on which our family was built and the glue that holds us together. She leaves behind her family who all love her so dearly, her sister, Sharon Arnold; children, Scott (Judy), Gregory (Florie), Cynthia (Mike) Murphy, Susan, Stephanie (Mike) Luamanuvae; and daughter-in-law, Barbara (Barry); her grandchildren, Jody, Justin, Jeffrey (Chrystie), Jamie, Kim, Alicia, Aaron, Rickale (Armando), Sara (Travis), Spencer, Mickey (Annelise), Connie (Adam), Jeff, Lisa (Scott), Emilee, Alexandria and Landon, and Mallory Beau; great-grandchildren, Ashlee, Halen, Cara, Ivy, Elliana, Madeleine and Zackary; and great great-grandson, Braden; and many nieces and nephews.

"God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so he put his arm around you and whispered "come with me." With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fade away. Although we love you dearly, we could not bid you to stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best."

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, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. at the South Jordan LDS Stake Center, 2450 West 10400 South.
