Hines, Bill
Bill Hines 1924 ~ 2005 William Eugene Hines, 81, died Monday March 14, 2005 at
his home in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Bill was the rare commodity, a Leap
Year baby. He was born Feb. 29, 1924 in Leavenworth, Kansas, but grew up in
Salt Lake City, Utah. When he graduated from East High School in 1942, all his
friends were enlisting in the military to fight in World War II. Tall and
thin, Bill tried to join the US Navy but was turned down because he was
underweight. A doctor told him to eat four pounds of bananas and drink a
gallon of milk. He did and barely met the weight requirements. In four years
of service, he was lucky enough never to be shipped overseas. He used to joke
that he had fought in the battle of San Diego. He was trained to teach
aircraft recognition. After the war, he was offered a job with the FBI, but he
heard airplane engines overhead and chose to become a small plane pilot and
salesman. In 1969, Bill was hired by McCulloch Aircraft as Western Regional
Sales Manager for the J-2 Gyroplane in Lake Havasu City. It was a dream job,
he loved it. He flew that plane to air shows all over the US and Canada in the
early 1970's. He said it was the most difficult plane he ever learned to fly.
The J-2 never quite made it into every garage, but Bill never lost his faith
in its potential. In 1974, McCulloch Aircraft was sold and newly divorced,
Bill moved to the San Jose, CA area, where he later became a partner in an
early cell phone brokerage. When he retired and moved back to Lake Havasu City
in 1993, he was disappointed that no one here seemed to remember or care about
the J-2 as part of the city's history and legacy. He was proud to be a member
of the Quiet Birdmen, a pilot organization. Bill Hines was a good guy.
Whatever he told you, you could take to the bank. He loved cats. His favorite
cat, Hobie, almost 18-years-old, had to be put to sleep just 10 days before
Bill died of a massive stroke. Bill was preceded in death by Laura Lewon Hines
(they were divorced.) They had two sons, Corey of Queen Creek, AZ; and Brett
of Mesa, AZ. Bill also has two brothers, Don, Salt Lake City; and Frank of
McAllen. TX. Bill was much loved by many friends and his companion of 20
years, Helen Mosbrook. There will be no services.

Simpson, Venice West
Venice West Simpson 4/18/1910 ~ 3/19/2005 Venice West Simpson, born in Venice,
California, April 18, 1910, died March 19, 2005 in Orem, Utah of causes
incident to congestive heart failure one month short of her 95th birthday. She
married Charles Jerry Simpson on August 1, 1932, later solemnized in the
Oakland Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Jerry
Simpson died September 14, 1968. Venice and her siblings were the children of
Joseph A. West, longtime bishop of Adams Ward in Los Angeles, and Lois Hunt
West. Venice outlived all her siblings, Mary West Tanner, Regina West, Jack
West (Lerona), Edna West Sant (Merlin), and Lois West Paulos (Ted), leaving
behind only one brother-in-law, Merlin Sant, age 100, of Laguna Woods,
California. Venice met her future husband at a church dance in Los Angeles,
and she and Jerry graduated from rival high schools. Later both found their
way to the San Francisco Bay Area, where they attended rival universities.
Venice graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in philosophy; Jerry from
Stanford in economics. They lived in the San Francisco Bay Area after their
marriage, moving to Seattle, where their two sons were born. Then followed a
few years in Glendora, California, where Venice served as PTA president for
all the schools in the local district. Next Jerry's employment took them to
Palo Alto, California, from which Jerry commuted to work in San Francisco.
After a couple of years working in the office of the Stanford Press, Venice
joined Jerry's labor relations office team. The two commuted together for over
10 years, moving into their San Francisco apartment in 1967 as Jerry's health
began to weaken. In Palo Alto Venice served her church as ward young women's
president and as a counselor in the primary organization of the Palo Alto
Stake. In San Francisco, after the death of her husband, Venice became active
in the Bay Area LDS singles' organization. In her Bay Ward in San Francisco,
where many LDS singles tended to transition in to the city, Venice served
effectively and passionately as the ward employment specialist, not being
released until the age of 82. Venice always loved living in the Bay Area,
taking advantage of arts and cultural opportunities, relishing the city's
varied culinary offerings, and becoming an expert on both the well-known and
little-known visual attractions of the area. In the fall of 2002, by now in
declining health, Venice moved to the Cove Point retirement community in
Provo. Venice is survived by her sons Ron Simpson (Maisa) of Orem and Richard
Simpson (Deborah) of Olean, New York; grandchildren Kristen Evans (Mark) of
Arlington, Virginia; Kim Simpson (Amy) of Austin, Texas; Kendall Simpson
(Erlynne) of North Ogden, Utah; Erik Simpson (Carolyn) of Grinnell, Iowa; and
Thomas Simpson (Alex) of Atlanta, Georgia. She also has 10
great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Monday, March 28, 2005 at
11 a.m. in the Berg Mortuary Drawing Room Chapel, 185 E. Center Street, Provo,
Utah. Friends and family may also call at Berg Mortuary Sunday evening, March
27, from 6-8 p.m. as well as Monday morning, one hour prior to services.
Interment will be at Mt. Tamalpais Cemetery, San Rafael, California.
Condolences may be sent to www.BergMortuary.com. Venice found the upside in
every one of life's situations. For example she spotted a striking photo by
John Snyder showing Provo, taken at sunrise from the mountains above BYU and
looking south toward Mt. Nebo. "If I can't live in San Francisco," she
commented while asking her son to frame the photo, "I'd better start loving
the place where I live."

Thurber, Lynell
Lynell Thurber "Nelsie" Lynell was born in Pinetop, Arizona on February 2,
1977, the first child of her loving parents, Vance and Laraine (Larsen)
Thurber. She was born on Groundhog Day and sadly passed away in the presence
of her loving parents into the arms of her Heavenly Father on the first day of
spring. Lynell was a very bright and energetic child as an adolescent. She
suffered from some developmental delays in her preschool years and her parents
enrolled her in Jordan Valley School after she was diagnosed with Static
Encephalopathy Seizure disorder. Lynell attended this school facility until
she was 21 years old. John Gardner, Jordan Valley principal, and his
incredible staff provided 18 years of very dedicated care, love and service to
our precious "Nelsie." After Lynell graduated from Jordan Valley School she
remained under the constant care and supervision of her dedicated parents,
brother, Andy, as well as several members of our extended family. Before the
seizure disorder took away most of Lynell's physical and mental abilities she
was a very loving, caring, mischievous, little girl. She and her brother,
Andy, were great playmates, with Andy getting most of the teasing and
tormenting, which is common for most little brothers. "Nelsie" had a
personality and a "twinkle" in her eye that would immediately win over
everyone around her, even though she could not communicate verbally. People
often commented on how they could feel her spirit and the love that surrounded
her each time they interacted with her. Lynell was stricken with a severe case
of pneumonia and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at Alta View Hospital on
March 16th. Her condition deteriorated throughout the week until it was
obvious that she had no chance of recovery. As a family, we would like to give
our sincere thanks and express love to each nurse in the ICU who helped make
the last days of Lynell's life so comfortable and well cared for; God bless
you; you guys are awesome!! Lynell was preceded in death by her grandparents,
Ez and LeVon Thurber of St. Johns, AZ and Andrew Larsen and Vera Carter of
