Ison, Judith Louise Green Judith Louise Green Ison 1930 ~ 2005 SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH - Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend passed away Sunday morning surrounded by her three daughters after aggressively being taken by Cancer, and overwhelmed with the sadness of the loss of her husband of 46 years only five days before. Born, June 15, 1930 to Cumer Arden Green and Nellie Adelaide Waterhouse in Ogden Utah. She was one of three children, brother Jack and sister Carol. After her mother's death, her father remarried and added to the family a sister LaNae and a brother Lanny. She is preceded in death by both her parents and her brother Jack. Judy graduated from Toole high and went on to the University of Utah at age 16 earning a degree in Journalism and a scholarship from the Deseret News. She supported herself working at the Ordinance Depot in Toole, Utah and had an internship at the Deseret News. On October 3, 1959 she was introduced by her brother-in-law Burt Howells to a Navy Officer on leave. On October 17, 1959 her life was forever changed when she eloped to marry her sailor in Elko, Nevada after only a two week courtship. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. Together they created a eternal bond of love and a life which included six children, one who preceded her in death and 13 grandchildren. Judy was an accomplished Genealogist being the longest practicing Genealogist from the original accreditation class. For many years she was an editor of the Genealogical Journal and still has clients based all over the world. Her greatest joy and largest passion in life came from tracing families to their roots and reuniting families together. Judy has always been an active member of the LDS church and held a wide variety of callings in her local ward. Judy was also an active member of the democratic party and was a judge at local elections for over 35 years. Hobbies included; knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, and crossword puzzles but her biggest joy came from reading books. As an avid reader she could complete a pile of library books in one weeks time and be ready for more by the next weekend. Her greatest life accomplishment came from being a wife to her beloved Willy and a mother. Sadly on July 12, 2005 she lost the love of her life Willard A. Ison who returned to his father in heaven and was awaiting his love to join him and their son Brooke.

Jenkins, Luana Ripplinger Luana Ripplinger Jenkins 1925 ~ 2005 July 14, 2005 - Our wonderful mother, Luana Ripplinger Jenkins, has gone home. She leaves behind a legacy of service, love, and faith. Born to Lawrence Arnold Ripplinger and Lorraine Holm Ripplinger Oct. 13, 1925. Luana grew up in Logan, Utah where she played with friends under lilac bushes, built bonfires in the summers, enjoyed mountain hikes with her father and brothers, and learned to play the piano. She met her sweetheart, Grant Bucklar Jenkins, in Logan, Utah and played as his accompanist. They were married April 14, 1944 in the Logan Temple while he was home on furlough during World War II. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1955 after months of numbness in her legs. Their move to Phoenix, Arizona proved beneficial for her health and the MS went into remission. Luana and Grant raised five children in Arizona. A woman without guile, she made her way quietly serving others. She cared little for the things of the world. She knew the magic of life is not in what is accumulated, but in what is given to others. Her listening ear was always available and she spoke with optimism and encouragement. She played the organ weekly at church for more than 40 years and taught piano lessons till the age of 75. Her gentle ways produced many fine pianists and organists, some of them her own grandchildren. She also served as president of the Phoenix 28th Ward Relief Society, as a volunteer in the Phoenix Employment Center, and as a worker in the Mesa, AZ Temple. She possessed a sweet and spiritual nature and her faith in Christ was sure. Time spent with her family was her earnest focus and her immense treasure. Her greatest desire was always to see them and hear the news of their lives. She so loved the hours spent reading to and playing games with her grandchildren. With some soda pop or ice cream cones, and a bottle of dry roasted peanuts, they were set for an evening of fun. She also enjoyed a daily crossword puzzle and was sharp in solving them right up to the end of her life. As her children, we appreciated how our mother loved and supported our father both in his professional life as well as in caring for him for nearly a decade while he was stricken with Alzheimer's. Those who care for the elderly, the sick, and the dying are angels walking among us. The family would like to thank the many health care professionals who have offered assistance to our mother in recent months. Your love and care are deeply appreciated.

Morton, Ryan Loren Ryan Loren Morton "Our Precious Son" While finalizing his preparations to serve an LDS mission, our dear son Ryan was called home. In his short time with us he proved to be an extraordinary individual. He had a quiet strength that buoyed all those who knew him. He worked hard at all he did and never thought twice to reach out a helping hand to someone in need. He loved those around him completely and didn't let a day go by without somehow reminding us of his love. Ryan was born October 22, 1985, the second child of Loren and Rachael Morton. From the beginning we knew he was a miracle; and that every day spent with him would be a blessing. He shared a very close bond with his sister, Melissa. Some of his happiest moments were spent fishing with his dad. He also loved spending the day on the paintball or Frisbee field, or kicking back with his friends on the X-Box. Ryan graduated from Hunter High School and spent one year studying Criminal Justice at Salt Lake Community College. He was an Eagle Scout, and loved his days spent in scouting. Ryan is survived by his parents and sister; grandparents, Loree Morton (Pleasant Grove, UT), and Fred and Cathy Roberts (Toronto, Canada); many aunts and uncles, cousins, and countless others who will cherish his memory always. Funeral services will be held Tuesday July 26, 2005, 12 noon at the Memorial Ward chapel, 4251 South 4800 West.

The Legendary Rod will be sorely missed around town and to all those who knew and loved him. He often joked about wanting to be a tour bus driver for famous rock bands. Now he is driving his own tour bus to heaven. Rod had many good attributes, but the one that quantified him best was his generosity, especially to those less fortunate than he. Rod would probably argue with that and say that his talent at the pool table was his claim to fame and glory "4&O baby!" Even though he had many prized possessions including his business, The Car Doctor, the one he cherished the most was his grandson that shared his birthday, Jaron Snarr. Rod is survived by his children, Steven Wells, Jenny Butler (Gary), and their children, Lyndi and Bronson; Amber Wells (Chris Snarr), and their child, Jaron; former wife, Debby Hills; his faithful employees, Jesus and Chuy; and his beloved cat, Zeek. He is also survived by his mother, Wanda; and step-dad, Larry Stillman; sister, Brenda Upton (Brady), and their children, Bryan and Bailey, of Las Vegas. Preceded in death by his son, Alex Cobb; and father, Leland. Dad, we will always love you. Thanks for all you have done for us and for sharing the biggest heart ever. Your memory will live forever in our hearts. Love to you from all of us and from your "little girl."
