Hatch, W. Gene
W. Gene Hatch 1917 ~ 2005 SALT LAKE CITY - Wilda Gene Glasmann Hatch, age 87,
passed on June 7th in her home surrounded by family and loving caretakers.
When Gene passed on, she left her children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren a legacy to share with all Utahns. Gene was a quiet but
effective voice for the beautiful Redrock canyons and plateaus of Southern
Utah. With her husband, George Hatch, and other conservationists, Gene helped
establish Capitol Reef and Canyonlands National Parks, expand the borders of
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, add lands to Arches National Park and
create Antelope Island State Park. As a young woman, Gene was deeply concerned
about the welfare of migrant workers. In 1937 she interrupted her studies at
Stanford University to offer assistance to those hit hardest by the
depression. An accomplished debater, Gene met her match when she debated young
George C. Hatch. In fact, he was her match and their marriage thrived over 60
years. Together, Gene and George lovingly raised a large family and expanded
the Glasmann communication business. From 1955 to 1993, Gene was Director and
President of the Standard Corporation which included The Ogden Standard
Examiner, KUTV television, KALL radio and many other communication businesses.
Gene's active career was arrested by the onset of Alzheimer's disease. For 20
years, Gene struggled with the debilitating disease. George, her children and
caregivers tenderly cared for her over the long duration of her sickness. The
family is grateful for the kindness of Gene's doctor, Dr. Cherie Brunker; the
staff of Hospice, longtime friends Bill and Donna Vogel and Gene's many
caregivers. We especially thank Rawlin and Marcia Pinkerman, Jean Taylor,
Jeanie Eames and Raquel Luz for many hours of kind and expert care. Gene was
born November 28, 1917 in Ogden, Utah, to Abraham Lincoln and Edris Alida
Toombs Glasmann. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University and
received an Honorary Degree, Doctor of Humanities, in 1981 from Weber State
University, Ogden, Utah. Her husband is George C. Hatch, and her children are:
Michell Arnow, Orlando, FL; Diane Orr, Salt Lake City, UT; Jeffrey (Peggy)
Hatch, Salt Lake City, UT; Randall (Ann) Hatch, Salt Lake City, UT; Deepika
Avanti (Carlos Ogsbury) Gold Hill, CO; 15 grandchildren and seven

deeds of worth she performed. We lament the separation, with the anticipation
of great family reunion when the separation ends. Survivors: son, Lynn G.

finished his course... having kept the faith" Madison Hayball Thomas received
orders to report for duty beyond earth's veil on Monday June 6, 2005. He
relinquished his tenacious grip on this life after a blessedly brief
hospitalization for pneumonia and without the incapacitation which would have
so frustrated him. He was always the servant, always the doer, always the
believer that one man could tackle even the toughest problems in this world
and by so doing, wrestle them down to manageable size. Madison H. Thomas was

long and happy life together flying, skiing, hiking, swimming, traveling,

the reunion of these eternal sweethearts! In 1949 he began the practice of

active in the Boy Scouts of America, becoming district chairman and later
Council Explorer Program Chairman, in which role he took the largest
contingent of young men to the National Post Presidents' Conference in
Washington D.C. He was an Eagle Scout and was awarded the Silver Beaver. He
was a loyal member of the LDS Church and served in numerous positions
including the high council, as a teacher and doing genealogy work. He served
as mission president with his wife in the England Bristol Mission from 1982 to
1985, as a Temple Square missionary in 1986, and as a public communications

Toone, Millard Reiser
Millard Reiser Toone 1942 ~ 2005 Millard R. Toone, 62, died from complications
of cancer June 7, 2005. He was born July 1, 1942, to Evelyn Reiser and Felix
Millard Toone in Salt Lake City, Utah. His seven older sisters eagerly greeted
their baby brother and have showered love and affection on him ever since. He
grew up in Salt Lake, graduating from South High School in 1960. Millard
married Beverlee Bigler in 1962. He has said that the happiest days of his
life were the days that each of his six children were born, and has always
made each of us feel as if we were capable of achieving anything. He served
six years in 5016th US Army Garrison Reserve unit. He worked at Bigler's
Speedometer and Appliance, Inkley's Audio Visual and for the last ten years at
his family business, Executive Boat and Yacht Brokerage. He loved his time on
the water, especially when he captained the whole family on many sunset
cruises on Lake Powell. As a diehard Parrot Head, he instilled in his children
and grandchildren an appreciation for Jimmy Buffet's music and easy-going
attitude and lifestyle. Every time we listen to "Fruitcakes" we will think of
him smiling, singing, and dancing along with Jimmy. An outdoorsman of many
interests, he enjoyed softball, camping, fishing, riding tractors and
motorcycles, and teaching his younger grandkids everything he knew about
horses. He loved watching his grandkids participate in soccer games, recitals,
horse shows, and family gatherings. He had many good friends and cherished the
time he spent with them. Millard never forgot a name or face. He knew a little
bit about everything and could fix anything. A life-long member of the LDS
church, he served in many capacities, particularly enjoying the times he
served as assistant Scout Master and nursery leader. Millard is survived by
his children Kimberlee (Ed) Michaud, Kory (Michele) Toone, Bekki Patton, Robyn
(Mike) Olesko, Greg (Sharlene) Toone, their mother, Beverlee, and
grandchildren Brandi, Dani, Matt, Lauren, Baylee, Nick, Oaklee, and Taylor. He
is also survived by sisters Marjorie (Dick) Landeen, Wilma (Bill) Walton,
Eileen Toone, Winona Woods, and Marilyn (Don) Gee. Preceded in death by his
son Donovan, sisters Miriam Toone and Kathleen Weiser, and his parents. A
celebration of Millard's life will be held at Memorial Estates, Mountain View,
3115 E. 7800 S. at 2 p.m. on June 11.Viewing will be held Friday, June 10th
from 6-8 p.m. and one hour prior to the funeral (Casual Dress). It was
Millard's request that rather than sending flowers, everyone should use the
money that they would have spent on flowers to get a colonoscopy - NOW. If his
cancer had been detected and treated earlier, we may have had several more
years to enjoy with this good man. It goes without saying that we will miss
our dad every day, but the important things he taught us will remain with us
forever.

White, Jill H.
Jill H. White 1954 ~ 2005 The Fabulous Jill H. White left us suddenly on
Sunday, June 5th. Everyone who knew her has lost a great deal, and she will be
dearly missed. Jill Hughes White was born on April 1, 1954. She was preceded
in death by her father, Norman J. Hughes, and her husband, Rulon A. White,
whom she married on March 30, 1984. Jill is survived by her children, Amanda
Conner, David Adam White, and Taylor White; her mother, Laurel F. Hughes; her
siblings, Lane Hughes, Heidi Hughes-Meadows, Michael Hughes, and Katie Curtis;
and by her loving and cherished companion, Randy Raymond. Jill will be
remembered as a wonderful and loving mother, daughter, sister, and friend. She
was known for her humor, her hats, her wit, and her warmth. With generosity,
thoughtfulness, and kindness, she brought light and love to her family and
friends and gave unselfishly to anyone in need. Jill loved to travel and was
always up for a new adventure, be it across the world or in her own back yard.
She was active in countless organizations and was always there to offer her
time, abilities, and talents. She was a helper and a healer, whose open heart,
outgoing nature, and overwhelming generosity touched all of us. We say goodbye
to an amazing woman - we were blessed to have had her. A memorial service will
be held in Jill's honor on Monday, June 13 at 11:00 a.m. at Red Butte Gardens.
Following the service, there will be a luncheon to celebrate Jill. In honor of
Jill and in lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to The Hope
Alliance at 2681 E. Parleys Way, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84109. Funeral
directors, Lindquist's Bountiful Mortuary.
