You are and will always be in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers. We will cherish your memories now and forever. Until we are united again, rest in peace our angel. We love you dearly and miss you terribly. Published in the Deseret News on 11/3/2005. Pelham, Bruce Leroy Bruce Leroy Pelham 1956 ~ 2005 A glorious reunion with mother, grandparents and friends occurred on the other side of the veil on the morning of November 2, 2005, as Bruce Pelham left this earth for a far better place. And truly excited and thankful for his return were the hundreds of ancestors for whom Bruce had performed their temple work. Bruce was born June 19, 1956 in American Fork, Utah to Harold Eugene Pelham and Donna Lee Griffin. He has one brother, Thom. Bruce obtained an Associates Degree in Elementary Education at Rancho Santiago College in Santa Ana, California, and worked for 16 years as Operations Manager at Bank of America. He married Marlene Rebecca Francis on the 18th of February 1989 in the Los Angeles Temple and they had two children, Steven Bruce and Kevin Boyd. They lived in Tustin, California for five years and Provo, Utah for the past 12 years. While in Provo, Bruce lovingly took care of his aged grandparents until they passed away. Bruce battled diabetes for 42 years, which led to heart problems for the last 13. He was a "miracle walking" after two open heart surgeries and 27 Angiograms and Angioplasties. The family wishes to thank Dr. Rodney Badger and the staff at the UVRMC Cath Lab for their loving care of Bruce. Bruce bore all his adversities with quiet courage and was an example to all. His family lovingly referred to him as "The Energizer Bunny." He was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and jokingly said just a few days ago that he would not die without having his Home Teaching done! One of his fun hobbies was collecting Coca Cola memorabilia, especially Diet Coke, as that was his favorite. His passion, however, was Family History, to which he dedicated his life. He helped many people in his circle of friends, neighbors, and ward members, to get started in Family History and to solve any problems they might have. He often said, "As long as I keep doing my Family History, the Lord will keep me alive - that is my Life Insurance!" The Lord decided that Bruce was "all paid up" and took him home. Bruce is survived by his wife, Marlene; his sons, Steven Bruce and Kevin Boyd; his father, Harold Pelham of Hemet, California; his brother Thom Pelham of Sacramento, California; and a special cousin, Pam Rasmussen and a lot of "best" friends. Funeral services will be Saturday, November 5th, at 11:00 a.m. at Harbor Park LDS Chapel, 2225 West 620 North, Provo, Utah. There will be a viewing Friday evening from 6-8 p.m. at Berg Mortuary, 185 E. Center Street, Provo.

We lost an amazing sister, daughter, and aunt to advanced ovarian cancer. We are very happy to know that she is now reunited with her father and many other loved ones that have passed before her who are now in the presence of our Heavenly Father. She was born June 21st, 1955, in the LDS hospital in Salt Lake City to Bettejean Eby Smith and Stanley Lyman Smith. She was the second child of five. She grew up in Georgia, Alaska, Oklahoma, and Utah. She graduated from Granite High School and Snow College. She also attended Utah State College for a couple of years. She served an LDS 18 month mission in Virginia. She also lived in Seattle, Washington for quite some time before moving back to Utah.

Walker 2/3/29 ~ 10/28/05 "Oh, hi dear," she would say when you answered the phone - and you knew, you just knew, it was Mom (or Grandma or Jean to you) calling to check in. Things could be going great, or just ok, or not well at all. Somehow, hearing from her helped. She was born in England - Southall, Middlesex to be exact - to Ted and Rhoda Smith. Jean was a happy child, if a bit reserved (that came with being English, no doubt). She knew about wars and bomb shelters and tough times, but you would never have heard her complain about any of it. She moved to Utah after the war, met Don on a hike (he was so tall, she thought), fell in love and married him. They had Gary, Mark and Donna Jean - and later, by marriage, Becky, Tami and Martin. More than anything else, Mom wanted you to do the right thing. Show up. Be there to help others. Get to church. Be careful. Call when you get home. She wanted the right thing done at work, too. Jean held lots of different jobs, but spent most of her work life as administrative assistant for the Salt Lake County Attorney. Judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys would come and go, but Jean was always there for support, guidance and (if necessary) motivation. She loved the Lord, the people at First Baptist Church, her many friends, her thoughtful neighbors - and she lived for her family. Oh, the grandkids! Josiah (and now Kari), Chelsea, Rachel, Andrew, Erin and David - how did the refrigerator hold all the pictures? All the other relatives meant so much too - Helen, Val, Dorothy, Nadine, Jack and Jean, and so many other Walkers and Smiths from here all the way back to England. Even at the end, when the fight against cancer got really hard, Mom worried about "being a bother" to anyone. The hospice team, her church family and her devoted friends and neighbors helped so much. They gave her time at the end to have fun, say goodbyes and then, when no one was looking, slip quietly away to her new home in heaven. We'll gather to remember her Saturday, Nov. 5 at noon at First Baptist Church, 777 South 13th East, in Salt Lake City. Family and friends are encouraged to come by for a time of greeting beginning at 11 a.m. Her burial will be at Wasatch Lawn immediately following the service. Memorial contributions can be made to the First Baptist Foundation. Funeral Directors Evans & Early. What a great lady. Just think about all the people in heaven today who get to hear her say, "Oh, hi dear!" Published in the Deseret News from 11/3/2005 - 11/4/2005.
