She was born in Rock Springs, Wyoming on March 27, 1912 to Peter and Mattie Jenson Gras. She married Elmo Anderson on May 29, 1931 in Rock Springs. Before moving to Salt Lake City in 1950, Elmo and Dorothy lived in Green River, WY where they had three children: Mettie Rist, Douglas Keith (Bonnie) Anderson and Merleen Pearce. Dorothy worked very hard with Elmo in the dry cleaning business in Green River, and later at Prompt Cleaners in Murray. She excelled as a homemaker and as a caregiver, lovingly caring for her parents and Elmo as their health declined. Dorothy enjoyed babies, puppies, fancy work, painting ceramics with her children on Saturdays, sitting on her patio, chewing gum, watching Jazz games and boxing on TV, going on trips and word searches. She was also good at giving advice, liked having fancy painted toenails and always wore necklaces and earrings, no matter the occasion. Dorothy was an outstanding cook and she made the world's best mashed potatoes, gravy, potato salad and idiots delight. Dorothy is survived by her three children, nine grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson on the way. She is preceded in death by her husband and an infant daughter. As a child, Dorothy also lost her baby sister, Thelma, and her four-year-old older sister, Naomi. The family wishes to express appreciation to the many doctors, nurses and therapists (Dr. Sara A.

Gardiner, Mildred Jean Bonnett Mildred Jean Bonnett Gardiner Monie In the late morning hours of Tuesday, November 1, the beautiful spirit of Mildred Jean Bonnett Gardiner, age 82, of Orem, left her petite and lovely mortal body and returned to her Heavenly Father's waiting arms. "Monie", as she is lovingly referred to by friends and family, knows her Father in Heaven well. Her prayers to Him and her faith in Him have been the source of many great blessings to those whose lives she touched. It is often said, "It was Monie's prayers", when someone close to her is healed from illness or had an accident or injury averted. Mildred Jean was born on Sunday, January 14, 1923, in Provo, Utah to Leslie Dean and Nettie Beesley Bonnett. She loved the Farrer Jr. High and graduated from her beloved Provo High School in 1941. She believes she had the best childhood anyone could ever have and often shared stories of being with her family and friends walking from place to place in the "small town" that was Provo. As a young girl she loved being taught from the scriptures, especially the stories of Jesus. As a young mother herself she shared that love by teaching her own children and many lucky children in the Primary and Sunday School. Right after she graduated the war years were quickly upon her generation and in November 1941, while carpooling to Remington Arms in Salt Lake City, she met a handsome soon-to-be soldier, Max Gardiner, of Orem. They were married September 14, 1942. A mere five weeks later her young husband was in the Army and off to North Africa. Mildred went to work on the home front as so many young brides did. She trained in nursing and worked in many fields. She was small in stature but none of the other welders on the Liberty Ships in San Francisco noticed. She always pulled her weight and was a true "Rosie the Riveter". On August 17, 1943, after Max requested a 15-day furlough, their marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. After the war, they settled in the Provo/Orem area. In 1961, Mildred went to work for Dr. Harold Austin as his nurse and office manager. She worked for Dr. Austin until his death in 1975. Mildred would like to thank all the patients and people that she had the pleasure of associating with during her time with Dr. Austin. It was a rich time of her life. Mildred loved the outdoors and all of God's creations. She gave freely to many animal charities and delighted in the warmth and happiness small animals and birds brought into her life. Mildred is survived by her husband, J. Max Gardiner, Orem; three daughters and one son, Lora Jean (Jeanie) Campbell, Provo; Julie Dean Gardiner, Layton; Shari C. Holweg (Timothy); Davy Max Gardiner (Michelle); one brother, Max D. Bonnett (Elaine), Orem; five grand-children, and 37 adoring nieces and nephews who know her lovingly as Aunt Monie. She is preceded in death by her parents; one grand-child, Bonni Colleen Holweg; and two sisters, Erma Baum and Eloise Bonnett Martinov. Services will be held at Saturday, November 5, 2005, 2:00 p.m. at Berg Mortuary Drawing Room Chapel, 185 East Center, Provo. Friends may call from 12:45- 2:00 p.m. at Berg Mortuary prior to services.

Hogle, Sarah Darlene Sarah Darlene Hogle 2/9/1979 ~ 10/30/2005 Our sweet, sweet lovely Sarah entered life everlasting on October 30. Many people came to know Sarah through her gift of showing hospitality through being a chef and caterer throughout the valley. She was happiest serving people and her life was filled with delight when she brought joy to others. Sarah's gracious spirit was reflected in her love of nature and her care for every small detail of life. She saw and believed in the unconditional love of God. She especially felt God's hand in her life when she was with her family, her friends and especially her companion Ryan Losser, whom she loved, and her dog, Lucy, whom she adored. She is also survived by her parents: Pam and Stewart Ellington and James and Theda Hogle; her grandmother, Darlene Hummel; her siblings Jennifer Hogle; Stew and Price (Alcira) Ellington, Patrick, Steven, Jim (Shelly) Hogle, Kamille (Tim) Radin, Kiersten (Chris) Gennarelli, Bret Hamblin, Stacy (Mike) Birch; aunts and uncles: Karrie Hummel, Kent Hummel, Jeff and Teri Hummel, Shanna and Ray Bedell, Hugh and Carol Hogle, Donald Hogle and Owen and Sheri Hogle, many cousins and countless friends.

Philips, John Reagan John Reagan Philips Tender Soul Born August 2, 1986, a tender and gentle soul, John Reagan Philips, died of a heroin overdose November 3, 2005. John was adopted by Jean Ford Reagan and Peter Woodward Philips on August 21, 1986. John's adopted sister, Jane Reagan Philips came into the family on March 16, 1988. John and his family lived by Liberty Park. John went to the Community Cooperative Nursery School for three years. Kindergarten through sixth grade John went to the Open Classroom located at Washington Elementary School. John attended Clayton for middle school and the City Academy for high school (except his sophomore year when he attended East High School). John spent much of his summers in the Grand Teton National Park sharing time in Lupine Meadows with Paul Kimbrough and his ranger-parents Tom Kimbrough and Barb Eastman. John was especially at home in the outdoors. He was a natural climber, an instinctive fisher, an agile and daring skier and a child with eyes for nature. Once Paul and John were fishing in the Winds and John headed back to camp only to be stalked by a bear. John determined it was a black bear and shouted to chase it away. The bear turned tail only to head straight for Paul turning aside at the last moment. John had a deeply loving and close relationship with his sister. Every day she felt lucky to have him as her brother, her guide, her hero. They almost never fought. They were close in age and played together with exploration and joy. He helped her catch her first fish on a fly pole at Lake Solitude in the Tetons. He held her hand through life. John and his mother Jean were two peas in a pod. Considerate and empathic, never competitive, John and Jean were equally and similarly liked by all for their consideration, kindness and love. As a young child, John did not like to be separate from his parents. He did not like day care. He didn't even like to be left in the car while you went in to pay for gas. His mother quit her job at the phone company when John was three in order to be a full time mother and the connection between John and his mom was deep and intimate. John and his father Peter explored the outdoors together. They fished and hiked and camped. John was born with a deformed lower vertebra. When John was nine, he and his father traveled around the country consulting with physicians about surgery for this condition. Eventually the surgery was done locally at the Primary Children's hospital, and it was remarkably successful preserving John from pain for the rest of his short life. In eighth grade John met a special girl, Jessica. They shared a special love that grew for the next five years. Jessica and John lived in the Tetons with John's father who had become a park ranger and Jessica lived with us as part of the family. For reasons we do not understand, starting in eighth grade John started getting involved with drugs, mostly marijuana. He worked with his parents and his family and Jessica to control or resist this involvement but he also gave into it as well. By 11th grade things started getting more serious first with alcohol and then with heroin. Heroin stole John first from his family, then from his friends, then from all who loved him. Early Thursday morning, heroin stole John from himself. Our hearts go out to all that loved John including his birth parents. We are so sorry. When John was little, he did not want his father to leave for the University to give his lectures. But knowing dad would go, John would plead "Don't forget to talk about me!" We never will. Friends may gather to remember John at City Academy, 2416 E. 1700 S., (801-596-8489), Sat. Nov. 5th, at 4 p.m. A potluck will follow. The family wishes donations in John's memory to be made to "City Academy" via any Wells Fargo Bank. Published in the Deseret News from 11/4/2005 - 11/5/2005. Poulos, Mildred V. Chapman "Mickey" Mildred V. Chapman Poulos "Mickey" Mom was born Sept. 11, 1928 in Blue Water, New Mexico to David O. and Ina Chapman. She had six brothers and one sister. She felt her aunts Emmaline, Will and Rachel were like sisters to her as well. She moved to Salt Lake City and graduated from Jordan High in 1946. In 1950 mom met the love of her life Pete J. Poulos and they were married. They had five children together. Our mom was an amazing person. She taught us so much, even though life had many obstacles for her, she never gave up. She believed that "life here on earth was just a drop in the bucket of what's to come." Mom's children and grandchildren meant everything to her, just as she meant everything to us. Our hearts are broken but as she always said, "Time heals all wounds," until we meet again mom, we love you, you will forever be in our hearts. Your children John, Dan, Steve, Patty and Bec P.S. Don't worry, we'll take good care of Britta. Funeral Services will be held today at 4:00 P.M. at the Mt.. View Memorial Estates 7800 So. 3115 E. Interment will follow.

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.

After retirement, she and Ted enjoyed traveling and visiting friends across the country. They resided in Orem, UT during the summer months and in St. George, UT during the winter from 1984-1994.
