Lewis, Catherine
Catherine C Lewis 1920 ~ 2005 Catherine Elizabeth Conley Lewis, age 84, passed
away peacefully May 27, 2005 surrounded by loving family members. Known by her
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,
Barbara (Lo-well) Camp of Alpine, Jeffrey (Kathleen) Lewis of Minnetonka, MN,
David (Celeste) Lewis of Highland, and Di-ana (Tak) Wakimoto of Lehi; two
sons-in-law, Thomas Kimmel, Jr. and Gary Lassen; 25 grandchildren; 10
great-grandchildren; and her half-brother, David Conley of Seattle, WA. Peggy
was preceded in death by her husband; two wonderful daughters, Kathryn Kimmel
and Bonny Lassen; her sister, Ruby Cardon; her half-brother, Philip Conley;

Love, Mollie Turner
Mollie Turner Love 1922 ~ 2005 Mollie passed away peacefully at home
surrounded by her husband and daughter May 26, 2005 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
She was born July 15, 1922 in Nashville, Tennessee to George and Jane Reeves
Turner. Mollie was the youngest of seven siblings. Attended Pearl High School,
Nashville, TN and Swift Memorial Jr. College, Rogersville, TN. On June 9, 1941
Mollie married James Robert Love in Franklin, TN and later moved to Salt Lake

She was a loving and devoted wife; an attentive and nurturing mother; and a
fun-loving and thoughtful grandmother and aunt. After her career as a postal
clerk with the United States Postal Service, Mollie had the opportunity to
relish in her hobbies that included fishing, gardening, traveling, sewing,
watching baseball and golf on television. Gifted with a strong and beautiful
alto singing voice, Mollie always carried a song in her heart and flowing from
her mouth. Her love for family kept her very active as a family historian and
photo archivist for the Turner, Reeves, and Love families. Mollie led a full
happy and healthy life. However, as Alzheimer's slowly crept in, some of the
sunshine she radiated to others was clouded. Although names, faces and places
had dissipated, her deeply rooted Christian faith continued to be manifested
through her humming of hymns, even during the last days of her life. She was a
member of the Central Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church of Salt Lake City and

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,
Teresa Brog (Terry) Phoenix, AZ; 19 grandchildren; 48 great-grandchildren; and
five great great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held 11 a.m.
Wednesday, June 1, in the Alpine Stake Center, 989 East Canyon Crest Road,
Alpine. Friends may call Tuesday 6-8 at the Anderson & Sons Mortuary, 49 East
