passed away June 10, 2005 at the University of Utah Medical Center due to
complications from pulmonary fibrosis. Grant was born November 11, 1924 in
Paris, Idaho, a son of Thomas and Lena Caldwell. He attended elementary and
high school in Paris and after serving for two and a half years in the U.S.
Navy during World War II, entered the University of Utah. Grant was elected to
Phi Kappa Phi and Beta Gamma Sigma honorary fraternities and graduated in 1950
with high honors. On November 27, 1946, Grant and his childhood sweetheart,
Lois Hymas, were married in the Salt Lake Temple. To this union were born
three daughters, Kathie, Tammie and Jana. Lois and his three daughters were
the focal point of Grant's life. While at the University, Grant began working
part time for a public accounting firm. This firm later became Caldwell,
Nielson, Cambell and Company. In 1962, this firm merged with a national and
international certified public accounting firm, KMG Main Hurdman. Grant served
as managing partner of the Salt Lake office and on its Board of Directors for
several years. When this firm merged with KPMG in 1987, Grant retired as a

Lord. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, June 14, 2005, 12 noon at the

Chandler, Florence Child
Florence Child Chandler 5/19/16 ~ 6/08/05 With her children at her bedside,
Florence Child Chandler died on June 8, 2005 in Lafayette, California, at age
89. She was born May 19, 1916 in Salt Lake City, the second of Charles William
and Alveretta Clayton Child's four children of whom Beth preceded Florence in
death and Frank and Loretta survive. She spent her childhood in Los Angeles,
but the family returned to Salt Lake where she moved through Roosevelt Junior
High and East High School at a breathless pace, graduating at 16. By 1936 she
had completed her Bachelor's Degree in Dietetics at Utah State and became the
first woman to win the university's Science Gold Medal. That fall she began a
year of graduate study in Child Development at Detroit's Merrill-Palmer
Institute. In 1939 she went to work for the Works Progress Administration
(WPA) in Helper, Utah, as a Nursery School Supervisor. It was here that she
met Joseph Chandler of North Ogden, a four-letter college athlete and biology
graduate of Weber State who was teaching and coaching at Helper Jr. High.
Within weeks they became engaged and then married in September of 1938. A year
later, Joe applied and was accepted into graduate school at New York
University, so the newlyweds moved east from Utah to Greenwich Village. When
they returned to Utah, Florence settled into full-time home-making, bearing
and rearing three sons and a daughter. Once, the youngest had entered school,
however, she began a 21 year career in education, teaching successively in
Monroe, Arcadia, Fortuna, and Meadow Moor Elementary Schools in Granite
District. Early on, she ran for and was elected Faculty Representative to the
Granite Education Association. By her retirement she had held countless
positions, chaired numerous committees, served as president of the Granite
Education Association, the Utah Education Association Classroom Teachers, the
State Association of Supervisors and Curriculum Development and, after
retirement, of both the Granite and the Utah Retired Teacher's Associations.
She served on the Boards of all these organizations, the Board of Wasatch
Manor, as well as on the State Professional Practices Commission and on
several National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education Teams. She was
an active member of Alpha Delta Kappa and Delta Kappa Gamma, both honorary
teachers' sororities. Florence Chandler was a busy woman and lobbied the Utah
Sate Legislature on Education issues well into her 80's. In her LDS ward, she
served almost two decades as Librarian. Meanwhile, she tended carefully to a
large and grateful family. She is survived by her four children, Neal, Susan,
Alan, and Clay; 12 grandchildren and step-grandchildren, Alexis, Brad, Brian,
Collin, Courtney, Gerritt, Hanno, Katie, Leslie, L.J., Michael, Quinn; and
seven great-grandchildren and step-great-grand-children, Anastasia, Carina,
Caitlin, Devon, Mitchell, Quinn, and Samantha. Her passing follows by only
seven weeks the death of her husband. After 66 years of marriage, she missed
him terribly and, so, has left us to follow him home. In her memory, we invite
you to join us for a viewing and her funeral. The viewing will take place at
the Foothill 4th Ward, 1794 S. Texas St., Salt Lake City, from 10-11 a.m. on
Thursday, June 16. The Funeral will follow at 11 a.m.

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
great-grandchildren. Close friends and family are invited to celebrate the
gentle and bright life of Gene Hatch on Thursday, June 16 from 5 to 7 p.m. at
the home of Jeffrey Hatch. In lieu of flowers, friends are encouraged to
support organizations preserving Utah's desert wildlands and groups dedicated

served in the women's Army Territorial Service during World War II. While in
the service, she met her husband, Andy and they were married in 1945. Betty
joined the LDS Church in 1950. In spite of her family's deep disappointment
that she left the Baptist church, mother's deep love and fervency for the
gospel never changed over the rest of her life. The gospel was her greatest
joy and her faith was her greatest strength. She served in all branch, ward,
and stake positions including Relief Society President, Primary President,
Young Women's President, music conductor and organist, sometimes all at the
same time! Her great love was music and she toured as a member of the Singing
Mothers, the British equivalent of the Tabernacle Choir. Betty and Andy
devoted their lives to serving the Lord and were sealed in the London Temple
to each other and their two children in 1964. They immigrated to Salt Lake
City in 1976 after dad retired. They loved it, but missed the church in
Scotland, where they were always so needed. They served a full-time Mission to
the Leeds, England Mission 1983-85. They stayed in touch with the people from
their mission for many years. Mother spent several years at Legacy Independent
Living right next to the Jordan River Temple. She loved it there. After she
couldn't cope any longer she moved to Assisted Living and then spent the last
year and a half in Denver, with Meg. Mother was a good, sweet, happy, loving
person, a devoted and faithful member of the LDS Church. We will miss her, but
are buoyed up, not only by our own faith, but by hers, and we know that she is
enjoying a glorious reunion with her husband, her mother and the father that
she never knew. Funeral services will be held in Denver June 13, 2005. A

Sampson, Charles Philip
Charles Philip Sampson "Irreplaceable" Beloved husband, father, brother, son,
uncle, partner, colleague, friend, mentor, advisor, rescuer. Chuck Sampson,
age 52, passed away on June 9, 2005 in the peace and comfort of his home, in
the arms of his cherished wife, surrounded by his loving family. Much too
young, much too soon. He was born on Aug. 21, 1952, in Tooele, Utah to Carl
Elmer and Mildred Alice Kenneally Sampson. He graduated from Tooele High
School in 1970 and Utah State University in 1975. While clerking for Third
District Judge Christine Durham he met the love of his life, Shari Emilie
Hansen, and made an honest woman of her and married her on Aug. 10, 1979. With
her gentle encouragement and faith in him he enrolled in the U of U law school
and graduated in 1985. He soon became a partner in the law firm of Suitter
Axland where he has served as head of litigation until the time of his
illness. During his career he built a solid reputation in the legal community
nationwide, but more importantly he made numerous close and lasting
friendships. He was a member of the National Guard from 1971 through 1985.
Chuck and Shari's proudest accomplishments are their three adored sons,
Bryton, Sean, and Michael. His finest traits live on through them. His
beautiful blue eyes, his keen intellect and sharp wit. His inquisitiveness and
his integrity. His ability to make friends easily and endear himself to
others. His cheerful approach to life. Besides his pride in his work and his
family, Chuck enjoyed collecting things, whether it be snow-globes, music,
movies, re-runs, or VHS tapes full of Indy car crashes. He delighted in giving
gifts. Little things he might pick up when he was out of town to let people
know he was thinking of them and wanted to bring them a smile and a surprise.
Sometimes adversity produces pleasing side-effects. Chuck being the eternal
optimist that he was, viewed his illness as the catalyst that brought family
and friends together in a profound and meaningful way. This made it bearable.
It was our gift to him and his gift to us. Chuck amazed and inspired all of
us. He got knocked down hard by the one-two punch of cancer and chemotherapy.
He never gave up hope or felt defeated. He just got up, dusted himself off and
came back for more. He managed to stay upbeat and good-natured throughout his
ordeal. If pure grit and determination could cure disease, Chuck would still
be here and in perfect health. He woke up every morning and said, "I'm feeling
pretty good today". Chuck is survived by his wife and children; his brothers,
Lance (Judy) Sampson, Mark (Chris) Sampson; his in-laws, Alice and Gordon
Hansen, Serida and Peter Foss, Kim and Janie Hansen and Kevin Hansen; along
with ten darling nieces and nephews who will all miss him dearly. He was
preceded in death by his parents. Services will be held on Wednesday, June 15,
2005, 12 noon at the Cottonwood 12th Ward, 1750 Spring Lane where friends may
call from 11-12 noon prior to the service. The family will receive friends on
Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. at Wasatch Lawn Mortuary, 3401 Highland Drive. Interment
will follow at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park. We would like to extend our
appreciation to the caring staff of Utah Cancer Specialists, St. Mark's
Hospital and Community Nursing Services, and also the remarkable family and
friends who circled the wagons and shared with us our sorrow and helped to
lighten our load. We couldn't have done it without you. Chuck - It broke our
hearts to watch you go. We feel blessed to have shared this time and space
with you here on this earthly realm. You made us all so proud.
