families and our surroundings. As a member of the LDS Church, Mom worked

Hein, Shirley Canning         
Shirley Canning Hein 1924 ~ 2005 On September 13, 2005 Shirley responded to
her mother's call from beyond the veil to "Come home, its suppertime".
Shirley's amazing story began on June 25, 1924 in the little town of Smoot,
Wyoming, growing with her loving family and friends throughout Star Valley and
beyond. Her heritage includes her mother, Mary Gomm, a girl born in Smoot and
her father, PJ (Jack) Canning, a "city boy" born in Midvale, Utah. Both of her
parents came from pioneer ancestry. Shirley's life-long ability to make and
keep friends has helped many people over rough spots in their paths. This is
particularly true for those of us blessed by being a part of her family. We
thank her for all she has done for us and for all she has encouraged and
helped us to become. She has been a stalwart disciple of Christ giving great
service to her brothers and sisters in The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. She taught love, honesty and integrity, not only to her
children, but also to many of her friends and to the many children she
encountered during her school teaching years. Music was a major part of
Shirley's life. As a child she studied the piano; she then went on to the high
school marching band and to college pep band, playing drums. But she never
neglected the piano. She went on to accompaniment, singing in choirs and small
groups, then to conducting and teaching. She performed music with feeling and
encouraged her students to express themselves through the music in which they
performed. She loved all the pupils she taught but her favorites were her own
family. Her special pupil was Staci, her deaf granddaughter, to whom she
presented the fundamentals of piano. Staci then essentially taught herself to
play receiving counsel and encouragement from her grandmother. Shirley enjoyed
and appreciated all types of music, especially "Big Band", which extended to a
love of dancing. She and her husband coached church dancing and took at least
three different groups to the annual all-church dance festivals held during
the years they were held. Shirley's life is celebrated by her husband, Marvin
D. Hein; daughter, Shirla (Bryan) Alexander; and twin sons, Ronald A. (Marian)
Hein and Donald J. (LeeAnn) Hein; 11 grandchildren and two more by marriage;
one great-granddaughter and a great-grandson (on the way). We are blessed to
share her life. We will remember her bright genuine smile and cheerful "Love
You" and will always be grateful for her great influence for good and will try
to continue our lives in the tradition she exemplified. Shirley's tribute will
be held on Saturday September 17, 2005 at the Mount Olympus 9th Ward Chapel,
4635 South Lanark Road (approximately 3300 East). Family and friends may visit
from 6 - 8 p.m. Friday at Holladay-Cottonwood Mortuary, 4670 South Highland
Drive, and from 9:30 -10:30 a.m. Saturday, prior to services at the ward.

Homer, Frederick Raymond           
Frederick Raymond Homer 5/31/1926~9/10/2005 Frederick Raymond Homer, 79,
husband, father, grandfather, patriot, servant, and friend, died peacefully at
home of natural causes, on September 10, 2005. Born in Idaho Falls, Idaho May
31, 1926, the eldest son of Alfred Raymond Homer and Delva Haycock Homer, he
spent much of his youth working on a fox farm near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
At 16 he attended his first year of college at Brigham Young University.
Stirred by the events at Pearl Harbor, in 1943, Fred enlisted in the United
States Navy as a medic assistant and fought during World War II, on the
Battleship U. S. S. New York. His enlistment lasted three years. On September
25, 1948, he married the beautiful girl from his chemistry class, LeNila
Young, and they graduated together in 1951, from the University of Utah
College of Pharmacy. Fred touched lives as a neighborhood pharmacist, Utah
Pharmaceutical Association President, Utah Board of Pharmacy Chairman,
University of Utah Adjunct Professor of Pharmacy, Foothill Kiwanis Club
President, and recipient of the Bowl of Hygeia Award, from the American
Pharmaceutical Association. Fred loved the gospel of Jesus Christ and the
opportunities it afforded to bless others, including service in bishoprics,
branch presidencies, home teaching assignments, high councils, temples, and on
two full time missions with his sweetheart, in Los Angeles and Nauvoo. Fred
loved graciously, not only his family but others in need of a father,
confidant, or friend. His Porter's Fork cabin, reading "Scrooge," Herman the
Dachshund, Fairview, University of Utah games, and church books, were
important to Fred. His passion, however, was his family, especially its heart
and soul-Fred's eternal companion LeNila. Fred's motto: "Whatever you say,
dear." Fred's wife, Phyllis LeNila, survives him, along with four children:
Cynthia Lynn (Conan) Grames, Draper, Utah; Julia Ann (Norman) Johnson, Salt

Dwight, Mark and Larry, and step sons Whitney and Todd Macfarlane. He is
