Archibald, Jeannine Mary Kline Jeannine Mary Kline Archibald 1/22/29 ~ 11/11/05 Our dearly beloved mother, Jean-nine Mary Kline Archibald, passed peacefully back into the arms of her husband, Richard Archibald, who preceded her in death June 24, 2003. They were married at ages 16 and 17, and when he died her heart left with him. For the past 21/2 years her sole desire was to be back with him. They would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary Dec. 15th. They were sealed together forever in the Los Angeles Temple in June of 1958. Jeannine was born Jan. 22, 1929 in White River, South Dakota, the daughter of Julius Kline and Vera Van Schaack. She spent her high school years in Salt Lake City where she attended West High. After six years of marriage, they moved to San Diego, CA. in 1951 where they remained for 36 years making many wonderful friends and lasting memories. Here she attended Grossmont Community College receiving her Associates Degree. She enjoyed and maintained a beautifully manicured yard producing bushels of plums, apricots, peaches, oranges, lemons, and berries. Her flowers blossomed year round and brought beauty to the whole neigh-borhood. Her favorite flowers were always lilacs and roses. Jeannine was a master quilter. She patiently pieced and hand-quilted quilts for all of her children, grandchildren, and many special friends. She tied baby quilts for everyone she knew that had a baby. Many of these quilts have been passed down from one generation to the next. Each blanket represents her love and selfless service. Jeannine had a special talent for sensing the needs of others before they were ever made known. Her kitchen counters were always covered with special homemade treats and crafts to give away to friends. Their retirement years found them living in Sandy, Utah to be nearer to their family. Here her talents continued to be nourished and more wonderful friendships were developed. Jeannine was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in many church callings. Her two favorites were those she filled with her husband, including a fulltime mission to Bristol England and temple workers in the Jordan River Temple. She loved the temple! She spent many hours doing family history where she found great joy in blessing her eternal family. The family was always her first and foremost priority. She is the mother of four children, Rick (Martha) Archibald, Corona, CA, Noreen (Martin) Peterson, Sandy, UT, Steve (Toni) Archibald, Darby, MT, Annette Knight, Poulsbo, WA. She delighted in her 19 grandchildren and 29 great grandchildren. Her love lives on in us all. The family expresses a heartfelt thanks to the staff of the Wentworth at Willow Creek and their Stratford Severe Care Unit for making such a beautiful, loving HOME setting for our mother over the past 31/2 years. We thank Hospice 4 Utah for helping her gently ease from this life to the next. Funeral services will be held Monday, Nov. 14, 2005, 10 a.m. at Wasatch Lawn Mortuary, 3401 Highland Drive. A viewing will be held one hour prior to the service. Published in the Deseret News on 11/13/2005. Ball, Mary Elizabeth Gibson Mary Elizabeth Gibson Ball 5/24/1918 -11/9/2005 Mary Ball, 87, passed away in her sleep Wednesday night after working through a third broken hip, subsequent heart attack and accompanying stroke. She was cared for at her own home with intermittent stays at a local convalescent residence. Mary was attended by vigilant family members and in-home caregivers for the last two years. Born in Salt Lake City, UT, in 1918 to Angus H. (Skipper) Gibson and Rebecca (Susie) Barkdull Gibson. Mary was widowed in 1991 from her husband of 50 plus years, Vaughn Williams Ball, also from Salt Lake City, UT. She is survived by her six children, 22 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Mary's six children are Karen (Rick) King of Corona del Mar, CA; Tracy (Karla) Ball of Oakland, CA; Mark (Darlene) Ball of Menlo Park, CA; Kristin (Paul J) Beyer of Sandy, UT; Robin (Joe) Zollinger of Canoga Park, CA; and Matthew (Tanya) Ball of West Hills, CA. Mary and Vaughn were married in January 1941, but since married women were not permitted on her employer's payroll at that time, the honeymoon was postponed until May of that same year when the two lovebirds were married/sealed in the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Their devotion to the LDS faith would be the guiding compass of their entire lives, a legacy from which their family continues to be blessed. Supporting her husband's work throughout the years, Mary worked in many jobs but was particularly skilled in secretarial shorthand and efficient in executive assistant work where fast typists could always find employment. Later, Mary became an accountant, handling the books and records of multiple businesses, and finally Ravenswood City School District in East Palo Alto, CA, from which she retired in 1978. Her husband's career as a Sales Manager for the General Mills Corporation (for over 36 years) caused Mary and Vaughn to live all over the country, moving from Salt Lake City to Chicago to Cincinnatti; traveling in the military during World War II; living in San Leandro, CA; moving north to Eugene and Junction City, OR, and eventually residing in Atherton, CA. After retirement, Mary and Vaughn moved back to the family farm in Junction City, which had remained a second home throughout their married lives. Hollyaire Farms (110 acres) grew sweet and sour cherries, peaches, blackberries, walnuts and filberts, and was most famously known for holly trees which were harvested and cut into Christmas wreaths and decorative bows during the holiday season. They filled mail-order requests from around the globe. It was on Hollyaire that Mary felt the most rooted and held onto the greatest memories of her life. It is the place that her children will always claim as the foundation for the work ethic that drives them today. As a proud member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (DUP), Mary was definitely of pioneer stock. It was rare to hear her complain. Yet, Mary and Vaughn experienced the kind of struggles and tragedies that would fill books of fiction because they seemed too sensational to be non-fiction. Despite the hardships, Mary's life was filled with grace, a love of the arts and family history. She was a seasoned genealogist and an amazing cook. Trained by a mother who made a living as an at-home seamstress - whose dress and suit patterns were handmade from assembled newspaper scraps - Mary personified the early 20th century commitment to always keep going. She was a quintessential member of "The Greatest Generation Ever," steeped in the virtues of hard work. She will be dearly missed. Funeral services will be held in the Rodeo Lane Chapel, 6350 South Rodeo Lane (1545 E.), Murray, UT, on Monday, November 14, 2005, at 11:00 a.m. Friends may call at the church two hours before the services.

These activities included the acquisition of a Doctorate Degree in Metallurgy from the University of Utah in June 1960 at the age of 54. In addition, he along with his brother Burness and sister Gertrude, designed and developed two small subdivisions in the northwest part of Salt Lake City known as Hanson Subdivision 1 and 2.

Keith was preceded in death by six brothers, Arthur, (at the age of one month), Donald, Glen, Burness, Gerald, and Rulon, and two sister, Gertrude and Dortha.
