Bush, LaPriel Strong
LaPriel Strong Bush 1930 ~ 2005 Noted Utah artist LaPriel S. Bush died Sunday,
May 22, 2005 in Salt Lake City, following a short illness. She leaves behind a
lifetime of art, music, witty conversation, sharp intellect, kindness, and
wonderful memories to be cherished by her four brothers and sisters, five
children, 16 grandchildren, five great-grand-children, and the many relatives
and friends who loved her over the course of her long life. LaPriel ("Lappy"
to many of her loved ones) was born on March 22, 1930, in Murray, the daughter
of W. Melvin and Ruth Thorson-Strong. Even as a young girl growing up on
University Street in Salt Lake City, she exhibited the artistic and musical
talents that would bring so much joy to those around her in the years to come.
In her early teens, her father was given a wartime assignment on the
administration staff of the Manzanar War Relocation Center in California, and
LaPriel moved to the camp with her family. LaPriel's recollections of her
experiences in Manzanar are of great value to historians, and recent
interviews with her have become part of the permanent collection at the new
Manzanar National Historic Site. Following her graduation from high school in
Huntington Beach, California (where, among other accomplishments, she was a
school tennis champion!), LaPriel began her formal education in art at the
University of Utah, including studies with LeConte Stewart and other legendary
figures in Utah art history. At this time, she also began her long involvement
with choral music, and while singing in a local group she met a handsome young
tenor, John Wayne Bush. The two of them were married in 1949, and soon settled
in the Cottonwood area, where they made their home for over 50 years. While
devoting herself to the roles of wife and mother, LaPriel still found time to
pursue her artistic and musical passions. Raising her five children in an
atmosphere of culture and refinement, she produced a varied and fascinating
body of oil paintings, sculpture, even woodcarvings, and today her work is
found in the homes of family and friends all over the country. Visitors to her
house were treated to an ever-changing, wall-to-ceiling museum of her artwork,
and those lucky enough to receive one of her paintings will forever prize the
gift. As her life proceeded through its many stages, her painting changed and
evolved, yet her work always contained the joy, intelligence, and essential
optimism that was central to her personality. LaPriel appreciated the work of
the great masters, and taught that appreciation to her children. She treasured
beauty, and always worked to surround herself with it. She loved to collect
things that interested her, and she shared that enthusiasm with others.
Through the years, LaPriel also continued her musical endeavors, as a longtime
member of the Allegro Chorus, singing leader for the LDS Cottonwood Third
Ward, pianist, and piano teacher to a generation of grandchildren and local
neighbors. LaPriel's piano playing, often featuring her own arrangements,
delighted visitors to her home and contributed to her family's appreciation of
great music. Those fortunate enough to have known LaPriel will always marvel
at her conversational skills. On virtually any subject, LaPriel could carry on
a captivating dialogue, her keen mind wrapped in a sweet demeanor, engaging
humor, and seemingly childlike innocence. LaPriel was truly charismatic; those
who knew her became better people because of her love for them, and her
interest in their lives. LaPriel could make a simple visit or game of Scrabble
into an experience to long remember. In the final decade of her life, LaPriel
faced the heroic challenge of caring for her husband through his years of
illness. Following his death in 2002, LaPriel enjoyed three last enjoyable and
productive years. In the blessedly short months of her final illness, LaPriel
was closely supported by her children and their families. To the very end, she
maintained her clever mind and feisty independence. As her mortal life ends,
LaPriel Strong Bush enters immortality, always to be remembered; not only for
the artistic achievements she left behind and the legacy of music she
inspired, but also for the amazing memories that will always be held dear in
the hearts of those who knew her. She is survived by her beloved daughter
Diana DeLuca (Larry), her sons John (Nancy), Dan (Debbie), Jeff (Cindra) and
Mike (Christy), and their families. Funeral services will be held on Friday,
May 27, 2005, at 12:00 Noon, at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 10600 South 1700 East,
Sandy. There will be a viewing the evening of Thursday, May 26, from 6:00-
8:00 p.m., at the same address. There will also be a viewing on Fri., one hour
prior to the funeral (from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon), also at the same

born on December 6, 1925 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Edwin Charles Davies, Jr.

brothers. He valiantly served his Country in the Navy during World War II

Guard at Hercules. He married his sweetheart, Cherie Darlene Hutchison on July
20, 1957 in Provo, Utah. They were later sealed for time and all eternity in
the Salt Lake Temple on July 19, 1963. Harry and Cherie lived all their

children. He taught his family by example the virtues of hard, honest work,
true friendship and of being a good neighbor and a love of God and Country. He

Davis Jr., William Landon
William Landon Davis, Jr. 10/2/23 ~ 5/22/05 William Landon Davis, Jr.,
husband, father and patriot, passed away peacefully on May 22, 2005 at home in
the house he built for his loving bride of 54 years, Kit. Dad was born October
2, 1923, at home in Whittles Depot, VA, the son of William Landon Davis and
Vera Estelle Turner Davis, civil engineer and artist, respectively. He grew up
in Chatham, VA. He was a true "southern gentleman," but his heart and politics
lay north of the Mason-Dixon Line. In September 1941 dad started his freshman
"Rat" year at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI). Dad, together with the
entire class of '45, enlisted in the armed forces soon after Pearl Harbor. He
was called up for active duty from the Institute in 1943, where he then
continued his education in the military. He graduated from Chemical Warfare
School in 1944, and was commissioned a 2nd Lt. on 8 June, 1945. He served in
the Pacific Theatre, including the Philippines, Okinawa, and was in the
vanguard unit that secured Yokahama Harbor. He witnessed the aftermath of
Hiroshima, and expressed great compassion for the condition of the Japanese
people overall, and had many Japanese friends. Soon after arriving in Japan,
dad accompanied an expeditionary force, which disembarked in Hong Kong and
moved north up the coast of China. In this assignment, dad was a forward
observer for 4.2" mortars, but mostly mentioned how great it was to return to
his friends in Japan. He was recalled to active duty in 1951 during the Korean
Conflict where he was in the Chemical Corps at Ft. Dietrich, Maryland,
discharged as a 1st Lt. On 15 Aug., '52. Together with all '45ers, dad
received a Bachelor Degree from VMI. He also graduated in 1950 from the
University of Virginia with a degree in Chemical Engineering (Alpha Chi Sigma)
and later earned his Master of Science in Chemical Engineering in 1958 from
the Illinois Institute of Technology. He married Catharine Antoinette Skrak (a
chemist) at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Newport News/ Hampton, VA on
December 16, 1950, and they had three children, Catharine Davis-Rohe (John),
William L. Davis III (Moni), and Michael T. Davis (Janet). Dad and mom were
weekly Episcopal parishioners, with dad serving as a Vestry Member, Usher, and
Committee Member, and always brought a smile and friendly handshake to church.
He worked for various companies, including U. S. Steel, where he helped design
and build a fluidized bed reduction steel mill on the Orinoco River in
Venezuela. He also worked for Kennecott Copper in Utah (U of U Research
Center), Occidental Oil, and Unocal, where he ended his professional career in
Grand Junction, CO in 1990, working on oil shale extraction. He periodically
consulted as an independent contractor, and worked in South Africa and
Germany. He was a registered professional engineer licensed in five states, a
member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Institute of
Mining, Metallurgical and Steel Engineers, American Association for the
Advancement of Science, American Association of Cost Engineers, and the
American Chemical Society. He authored and contributed to many articles in
professional journals, and held at least 12 patents in his field. He was
conversant in German, Spanish and Japanese, the latter he learned with the
occupation, where he quickly grew to love the Japanese people. He was an avid
reader, an aficionado of science fiction, a true "Trekkie" et al, and
subscribed to Mad Magazine from Issue No. 1. Dad was an avid golfer, and his
hobbies included astronomy, stamps and coins, gem and minerals, swimming
(Volunteer Water Safety Instructor), home improvements, masonry, and he was
brave enough to take up skiing at age 51 (with no mishaps to speak of). Dad's
blood donor cards extend back to the early 50's, and numerous stray dogs and
cats owe many good years to both dad and mom. They relocated to Midvale in
2000, where dad assisted with mom's latest garden, personally digging and
planting about 60 fruit trees in east Midvale's glacial rock soil. Special
thanks to dad's landscaping assistant and other friends. Dad always made sure
folks ended the day with, among other things, dinner, dessert, a ride to light
rail, and a handshake. His wife, children, and seven grandchildren, Charles
Henry Rohe II, John August Rohe, Jr., Michael William Rohe, Shawn Catharine
Davis, Chelsea Suzanne Davis, William Landon Davis IV, and Maike Christina
Jones survive him. Services will be held Fri. at 3 p.m. at St. James Episcopal
Church, 7500 So. 1300 E., Midvale, UT, with a reception to follow. In lieu of
flowers, donations can be made to the Huntsman Cancer Institute or to St.
James Episcopal Church memorial fund. The family would like to thank the
physicians and staff of the U of U Greenwood Medical Center, the University of
Utah Medical Center and the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Funeral Directors:
