Clayton, Olita Melville
Olita Melville Clayton 1902 ~ 2005 On March 6, 2005, East Millcreek lost one
of its oldest and most respected women, Olita Melville Clayton, who died at
the age of 102 of causes related to her advanced age. Over 100 descendants and
their spouses attended her 100th birthday party two and a half years ago,
honoring her many achievements. Olita Melville was born in Filmore, Utah in
1902. Her father, James Alexander Melville, was a prominent attorney in
Millard County and later in Salt Lake City. She graduated from the University
of Utah, spent a year at UCLA, went on a LDS mission to the Eastern States,
and traveled extensively in Europe and the Middle East over the years. Olita
married Ernest C. Clayton in 1930 and they began their lives together in
Pleasant Grove, Utah. Times were hard. At one point the couple could not
afford to go to a movie because it cost 25 each! He was a teacher, an
educational administrator, and part-time farmer. He died at the age of 93.
Ernest and Olita had five children, all college graduates, and four of her
children served LDS missions as well. Olita's greatest passion was her
children whom she taught to maximize their natural abilities by getting a good
education and serving in the community. Deeply religious all of her life, she
emphasized ideals more than orthodoxy, acceptance rather than exclusion, and
found a comfortable balance between faith and reason. She became an expert on
Paul the Apostle, giving scores of speeches on his life in local LDS wards,
and following in Paul's footsteps, even into the remotest parts of Turkey.
Later in her life she wrote a book on Paul's teachings and travels. She and
Ernest also served a second mission in Kentucky and Tennessee. Olita read
widely in English literature, particularly Shakespeare and Dickens. She also
knew several of the Greek dramatists, and once directed a Greek play at
sunrise in her back yard on Connor Street. Always learning, she took private
piano lessons when she was well into her nineties. In fact, she lived in the
home she and her husband built in 1939, alone after Ernest died, until she was
99, and often could be found typing up notes- she could type as fast as a
person could talk- when visitors called. Her final years were spent under the
excellent care of Connie Rodarte. Olita had an engaging smile, a capacious
memory, and always dressed with an understated touch of class (a little bit of
lace goes a long way in East Millcreek.) Conversation was generally focused on
religion or literature in her home, with little hint of either political
correctness or the ultra conservatism that is typical of this state. Over the
years she was in several book groups, and as the members aged and passed on
she would move to another, younger one. These contacts and her lectures on
Paul made her widely known in her community. Life was good to Olita- not in
monetary terms, but in spiritual and intellectual ways. So good, in fact, that
she almost forgot to die. Olita Melville Clayton is survived by her loving
children: James L (Gerrie) Clayton, Connie (Frank) Madsen, Elwood M. (Leica)
Clayton, Richard M. (Vicki) Clayton. A daughter, Bea Brown, died in 1989.
Funeral services for Olita will be held on Monday, March 14, 2005, at 11:00
a.m., at the Garden Heights Ward, 2220 East Fisher Lane (2935 South). Friends
may call on Sunday evening from 6-8 p.m. at the Holbrook Mortuary, 3251 South
2300 East, and again at the church on Monday from 9:45-10:45 a.m. prior to the
services. Interment: Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park. Condolences may be sent to
the family at www.holbrookmortuary.com.

Huebner Jr., Robert G.
Robert G. Huebner, Jr. 1949 ~ 2005 Our loving husband, son, father, and
friend, Robert, passed away peacefully and without struggle on Friday March
11, 2005 in the company of his friends and family. Robert was a proud Eagle
Scout, and proud of his service to his country in the U.S. Navy. He was born
in Salt Lake City, January 15, 1949 to Robert (Glenn) and Dawna Huebner. He
married Sheri on May 20, 1982. He leaves behind his father, his wife, and his
son (Bryce); his mother and brother (Bill) preceded him in death. Some of
Robert's earliest memories, as he grew up in Bingham, Utah, were his dreams of
becoming a locomotive engineer. Unlike many of us, he achieved his dream and
drove locomotives at the Kennecott Copper mine. When he lost his job at
Kennecott, he still felt lucky to have spent time doing something that he
loved -- this joy in experience was always his way. Though it was never easy,
and though it required him to work many less preferable jobs (such as driving
a water truck in Granger, Wyoming and sandblasting and painting at Tooele Army
Depot) he happily went to work every day, without a complaint, even while
working two full time jobs. However, he was never happier than when he finally
became a locomotive engineer at Tooele Army Depot. Robert loved to travel, and
he saw much of the world during his service in the Navy during the Vietnam
War. He was sometimes ambivalent (though always proud) of his time in the
Navy, and in proudly serving his country as a civilian volunteer in Saudi
Arabia during operation Desert Storm he was able to dispel any uneasiness he
might have felt. Beyond his service to his country, he took every opportunity
to travel for school and for other TDY's. Robert has now taken his final
journey -- to a place far better than any of us know. Graveside services will
be held at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 East 10600 South, Sandy Utah, on
Tuesday March 15th at 12:00 where a one-hour viewing will precede the services
beginning at 11:00 a.m.

Wignall Sickinger, age 77, passed away from congestive heart failure and renal
failure early Friday, March 11, 2005 in Bountiful, Utah. She was born in Salt
Lake City, Utah on June 6, 1927 to Gladys Griffiths Davies Pullan and William
Albert Pullan. Bev joined an older brother, Donald William Pullan. Later her
sister, Gladys LaVaun Pullan and her brother, Richard Henry Pullan were born
into the family. Bev attended McKinley Elementary School and graduated from
South High School. She also attended the Ogden LDS Institute and graduated
from the Institute program with her children and grandchildren in attendance.
Because Bev was such a great baseball player in her youth, she played baseball
with the boys instead of the girls. She loved roller skating. When Bev was in
the 2nd grade she was severely burned when her dress caught fire from a
sparkler. She spent months in bed not able to lie on her back. As a teen, Bev
worked as a waitress at the Doll House, although she was much younger than her
employer realized. Her teen years will filled with dating, movies, and
friends. Bev was very particular about her appearance. While she was in high
school she arose at 4:30 a.m. every morning to get ready for school and make
sure her hair and attire was perfect. Bev married Glenn Austin Wignall on May
16, 1948 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Together they had two children: Deborah
(Debbie) and Steven Glenn. The four had great family trips particularly to
Spokane, Washington then to Canada, as well as many fishing and boating trips
including Lake Powell. On most of these trips, the family was accompanied by
Bev's parents, Gladys, and Bill. Bev and Glenn enjoyed many NABAC Conventions
together since Glenn was Cashier and later Vice President of First Security
State Bank. Glenn passed away on March 12, 1967. Mountain Bell Telephone
Company employed Bev until her children were born. She later worked for
Continental Bank. On August 2, 1969 Bev married Ernest Harper Sickinger. They
were sealed in the Ogden LDS Temple on August 2, 1983. With this marriage, Bev
added five step-children to her family: Jimmy, William, Sandra, Joan and
Grant. Ernie also had two step-children from his previous marriage: Trudy and
Rainelle which were also included in Bev's family. Bev and Ernie resided in
Clearfield, Utah for over thirty years. They traveled together to Arizona as
"snowbirds" and lived in Tower Point in their travel trailer. They
participated in Spanish clubs, parades and square dancing there. They were
members of the Teepee Tenders, El Dorado Club, and Sundowner travel groups and
had many enjoyable trips with these groups. For many years, Bev enjoyed tole
painting the wooden chests that Ernie made. Ernie passed away July 28, 2002.
Bev's pride and joy were her children and grandchildren. She was definitely a
traveling Grandma as she traveled to California, Idaho, and locally to babysit
all of the grandchildren. She taught her granddaughter Taryn to tole paint;
played Nintendo proficiently with her grandsons, Brandon and Justin; held fun
sleepovers for granddaughters Jenekah and Jami and taught them to love old
Shirley Temple and Audrey Hepburn movies. She loved to go shopping with
Jenekah and Debbie. She took care of Jami every day until Jami was in high
school. Bev was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints and held many positions in Relief Society and primary. As homemaking
leader for many years, she helped the sisters of her ward complete beautiful
projects and holiday crafts for their homes and learn new skills. She also
arranged food storage classes and provided many hours of compassionate
service. Bev and Ernie also served as LDS Service Missionaries in the
Genealogical Department. She knew how to tole paint, knit, crochet, sew, cook,
needle punch and everything in between. She frequently blessed everyone's
lives with gifts from her heart. Bev is survived by her children: Deborah
(Terry) Preece of Farmington, Utah, Steven Glenn (Sharolyn) Wignall of West
Point, Utah; grand-children: Jenekah Preece, Brandon T. Preece, Taryn Preece,
Jami S. Wignall, and Justin G. Wignall; her brothers Don (Ruth) Pullan of Salt
Lake City, and Dick (Karen) Pullan of Las Vegas, Nevada, and sister LaVaun of
