Carter, Charlotte Warren Charlotte Warren Carter 1920 ~ 2005 With a profound sense of gratitude for the privilege of having been a part of her life, we announce the passing of Charlotte Warren Carter March 17th, 2005. Charlotte was born July 1, 1920 in Oak Park, Illinois to George Edward and Helen Pratt Warren. She attended school in LaGrange, Illinois and graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. Her membership in the Pi Beta Phi sorority meant a great deal to her while in college and led her to many of the lifelong friendships that she cherished. As World War II began to unfold, Charlotte met a handsome young U.S. Air Corps officer, James T. Carter, Jr., on a blind date arranged by one of her sorority sisters. He was stationed nearby at Chanute Field, and was bound for duty in North Africa. After a two-family campaign to keep the romance alive through the war, Jim returned to LaGrange to marry Charlotte and pull her away from her executive position at Esquire Magazine in downtown Chicago to the wilds of Southern California where their three sons were born. Charlotte and Jim moved to Salt Lake City in 1957 to raise their family and expand their devoted circle of friends. Charlotte was an accomplished pianist, writer, swimmer, skier, and tennis player. After getting her brood on its feet, she worked as a real estate agent and volunteered significant time to the Westminster College Women's Board and Wasatch Presbyterian Church. Charlotte's life, however, centered on her family and friends. Her genuine interest in and affection for people was magnetic, and she made new friends wherever she went. The world is a better place and we have all been blessed by her presence. Charlotte's husband, Jim; and her sister, Patricia, preceded her in death. She is survived by her three sons, Jim (Jane Harrison), Tom (Mary McGill), and David (Nan); her beloved younger brother, Jim Warren (Jan); three grandchildren, Davis, Harry, and Corinne; and nieces and nephews, Marty, Julie, Jimmy, George, Joanne, and Nancy. Charlotte was like a second mother to grandniece, Christine; and grandnephew, Steve. The family wishes to thank the staff CareSource for their loving care and devotion to Charlotte. A memorial service will be held Thursday, March 24th, 11 a.m. at Wasatch Presbyterian Church.

John Joseph Sullivan 1926 ~ 2005 Monsignor John Joseph Sullivan, a native of Tooele, Utah, died St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 2005. He was born May 28, 1926. After attending public schools in Tooele, he attended Saint Joseph's College in Mountain View, California, and St. Patrick's Seminary in Menlo Park. He was ordained a priest in the Cathedral of the Madeleine May 13, 1951. Most of his priestly life was dedicated to parish ministry, where his love for people, especially the poor, made him so well loved. He served as pastor at Saint Olaf Parish, Bountiful, in Bingham Canyon and Copperton, at Saint Patrick's in Salt Lake City, Saint Marguerite's in Tooele and finally at Saint Ann Parish, Salt Lake City. In each assignment, Monsignor encouraged devotion to the Most Holy Eucharist and devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, evidenced by the annual Rosary rally at Saint Ann Parish. It was his practice to visit homes of parishioners, to reach out to those in need, especially through the Legion of Mary. He enjoyed parish socials that built community spirit. Monsignor Sullivan was known as a builder. In Copperton, West Jordan and Tooele he built parish facilities, as he did at Saint Ann's in Salt Lake. So too, he was a builder of pride and self-esteem for minority groups, especially Hispanics. During his tenure in Bingham Canyon he was an ardent supporter of workers' rights to unionize. His support for Catholic Education epitomized his love for youth. His efforts to counteract gang influence amongst youth were outstanding. At the Diocesan level Monsignor served as a consulter to two bishops, and on numerous committees. He was named a Prelate of Honor in January of 1988, and a Protonotary Apostolic in April of 2001 by Pope John Paul II, in recognition of his years of faithful devotion to the works of the Catholic Church. He was a member of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem. He worked hard, served generously, and spoke his mind as occasion required. His personal lifestyle was simple, his charity unseen. He is survived by his sister, Eileen Kramer, of Anchorage, Alaska; and three nephews, Joseph, Timothy, and Charles; as well as many friends throughout Utah. He was preceded in death by his niece, Diana Crapps. Special thanks to staff and residents at Christus St. Joseph Villa, where Monsignor's last years were specially blessed.

She grew up along with her sisters and brothers during the depression. Their father died when the youngest was in diapers and the oldest was 14 years old, so along with their mother they worked in the vegetable fields in Oregon and Idaho. They had a hard life, but they worked together and were a close and loving family when their mother was alive, who was also a wonderful lady. My Mom worked very hard to raise me. She only had one child, me - Guadalupe Ana Trinidad Pratt. I was very lucky to have her for a mother. My Mom could change the oil and filter of her truck, and even change a flat tire.

Your little brothers and sisters are all grown up with wonderful memories of your love for them. What a couple of characters! We miss your bright smiles and funny stories. Since you left there have been graduations, missions, weddings, and babies born, some named after you. We know that you have shared in these happy moments as we have felt you so close. We have thought of you every day for 10 years and yes, sometimes we still weep for our great loss. You will both be forever young in all of our minds. Your car accident brought much sorrow to us but we have also been showered with the kind of peace that only the Savior can give us. He has comforted us. We cannot wait to see you both on the other side because we know from Psalm 30:5 that "...weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning."
