Logan, Utah April 26, 1922 to Lawrence and Alberta Memmott Crosland. Alberta
passed away when Max was a mere 10 years of age. Lawrence later married Bianca
Rigby. Max's immediate family members preceded him in death, with the
exception of a stepbrother and stepsister. Grace Harenberg became Max's
eternal sweetheart and wife December 20, 1941. The marriage ceremony took
place in the Salt Lake Temple on the chilly morn. A reception followed at the
Harenberg home on Parkway Avenue. In 1942, Max and Grace moved to Los Angeles,
California where he worked for Lockheed Aircraft inspecting P38 aircraft.
While there he wrote a column called CROSY'S CORNER. He had humorous jokes and
cartoon characters drawn by himself. Max owned a sleek, black Model A Ford. It
was his baby! He also had the chance to ride a Harley-Davidson, which was his
pride and joy. Max loved sports. In softball, his position was pitcher for
fast and slow pitch. He enjoyed skiing, bowling, water sports, hunting, and
fishing, but loved golf. As an avid golfer, Max had many holes in one. Max was
also musically talented. He had a harmonious tenor voice and sang in a Barber
Shoppe Quartet that won many competitions. He was a member of every ward choir
wherever he and Grace lived. He was active in the LDS Church and served in the
Sunday School and as an advisor to young men and was a Scout Master. In
addition he served as an executive secretary and ward clerk. As a young man he
became an Eagle Scout and received the Master Men Award. Max worked for the C.
W. Silver Company in the motor winding shop. Mr. Silver advised him to become
an electrician, which he did upon the recommendation from this kind man. In
1957, Skyline Electric was formed. Max, Roy Brewer, and Chet Green were
friends as well as partners in this company. Together they worked through fun
times, scary times, and hard times. Max's life changed in May 1969, when he
was burned over half of his body. He struggled with the ramifications from the
burns until he passed away quietly in Mesa, Arizona, Wednesday, May 18 2005,
surrounded by his family. Throughout his life he met each challenge with
determination and fought a good fight to the end! Max is survived by Grace;

family and friends as "Peggy," she was born Oct. 12, 1920, in Salt Lake City,
Utah to Philip and Charlotte Conley. On Aug. 8, 1941 she married John Dean
Lewis in the Logan LDS Temple, and they began their life together in Los
Angeles, CA. They are the parents of nine children, two of whom have preceded
their mother through the veil. Peggy grew up in Los Angeles where her sweet
mother (a German emigrant) worked hard to support her two daughters by working
as a seamstress. Peggy was influenced by her mother's love of cooking, sewing,
music, and nature, and enjoyed participating in women's choirs from an early
age. After graduating from Los Angeles Polytechnic High School, Peggy began
working at the Bank of America. She later met and married John, making their
home in North Hollywood where their first four children were born. John and
Peggy moved to Arizona, where they had the next five children, and enjoyed the
slower-paced life of Mesa. Shortly after the birth of their last two children
(twins) the family moved back to southern California, where they lived until
dad's final job change took them to Salt Lake City, Utah. Passionate about
gardening, she enjoyed landscaping each new home. Her kids loved to tease her
about knowing the common (and Latin) names of each flower variety known to
man. Peggy lived life with frugality and moderation, moving at a gentle pace
to enjoy the beauty of life around her. She is known for her quick wit, quiet
intelligence, love of geography, and her wide knowledge on many subjects,
often reading encyclopedias and dictionaries in her spare time. Peggy played
field hockey, softball, and golf in her earlier years, and to the delight of
her grandchildren, she enthusiastically followed sporting events until the end
of her life. Always an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, Peggy's life has been her testimony of the Savior's
teachings through her humility, compassion, and quiet acts of service. She
will be remembered for her many sacrifices, with a special talent for making
everyone in her life feel loved and needed. Peggy's family has been the
unquestioned focus of her life. A devoted wife and mother to her large family,
she has always provided just the right blend of laughter, discipline, love,
and forgiveness. Peggy is survived by seven of her nine children, Christine
(Bill) Owens of Phoenix, AZ, Roberta Lewis and John (Ann) Lewis of Orem,

Smith, Luana P.
Luana P. Smith 1918 ~ 2005 Luana Petersen Smith died May 26, 2005 of
conditions incident to age, hard work, and a full life. Born in Alpine,
October 5, 1918, oldest child of Conrad Petersen and Pearl Gerstner. With five
younger brothers, all worked hard on the farm her grandparents had
homesteaded. At age 16 her mother died. She helped her father raise the boys
and missed graduating from high school. Little Charles, age nine, died shortly
thereafter and a few years later, another brother, Louis, was killed in the
war. In June 1938, she met Robert B. Smith on a blind date. They married in
the Salt Lake Temple December 14, and lived in Draper four years before moving
to Alpine with their two little boys into her grandma's old log home. They
purchased farm land in Alpine and built a basement home where they welcomed
three more children and eventually built on "top," but had difficulty
borrowing money because as one banker put it, "We don't loan in Alpine, it's
at the end of the road." Luana served friends and loved ones. Her willingness
to speak her mind endeared her to many. Active in her church, she especially
enjoyed being Relief Society secretary and teaching the three year olds. She
loved working with her hands and was a skilled chocolate dipper, both
professionally and for fun. She has made more than 1600 baby quilts which have
been loved and worn out by babies all over the world. She loved to travel,
anywhere, but always ended up back home in Alpine. A highlight came last year
when she was award-ed her high school graduation certificate. No more will
Luana meander the new sidewalks of Alpine, talking to all who would take the
time. She was always welcoming towards the changes and people who became part
of her Alpine. Luana will be greatly missed. Four brothers preceded her in
death, Charles, Louis (Georgia), LeGrande, and Elwood (Hazel). She is survived
by her brother, Clarence (Faye) Cedar Fort; four children, Alan (Susanne)
Spanish Fork, Dennis (Veloy) Highland, Rayola (Frank Hardman) Highland, Ronald
(Joanne) Highland. One son, Delane, died in 1984. He is survived by his wife,

Taylor, Helen Amanda Whiteley
Helen Amanda Whiteley Taylor 1912 ~ 2005 Helen Amanda Whiteley Taylor, 93,
passed away May 27, 2005 in Salt Lake City. Born March 3, 1912 in Oakley,
Idaho to Joseph Earl Whiteley and Amanda Elizabeth Beck. Oakley, her childhood
home, beckoned her back throughout her life. She graduated from Oakley High
School and attended Brigham Young Academy. Following a mission to the Central
States, she worked as secretary to J. Reuben Clark, Jr. Helen married George

parents of seven children, David Taylor, Joan Jackson (Doug), Kay Huff

and Suzanne Housley. Helen, a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, served in many callings with perfect charity. Her faith in
and testimony of Jesus Christ are her greatest legacy. "Home" making was her
art. Wherever she was, home was in full bloom. She and her companion provided
a haven of strength and wisdom for all who entered there. Her full-time
efforts at home are cherished by her children, her 53 grandchildren, and 73
great-grandchildren. As a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and
friend, Helen Amanda lived a life of unstinting loyalty. In every calling she
was an executor of rare intellect and efficiency. To know her was a badge of
honor, no matter the brevity of experience. She engaged all with a
self-effacing focus on who you were. You knew quickly of genuineness and
caring. She excelled in writing and painting on china, canvas and wooden
ducks. Helen blessed the lives of others through her love of reading,
gardening, flower arranging, and assembling family history through word and
picture. Gracious, elegant, refined, hard-working, resourceful,
fun-loving...Helen was indeed a 'woman for all seasons.' Helen's cherished
siblings, Winslow Whiteley (Dorothy), Alicebeth Ashby (Robert), Osburn
Whiteley, Blanche Sheffield (Loftis), John Whiteley (Barbara), Mary Salisbury
