shared love and life with Gillian for 20 years. Gillian was a devoted and
delighted mother to Devon. Her greatest sadness was that she would not live to
see Devon grow to adulthood, but her greatest joy was that she could be mother

great gifts, and she was a trusted friend to many throughout the country. She

friends were professional colleagues. Gillian was professor of English and a
well-known scholar of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American literature
and culture and, more recently, of children's literature. Author of numerous

Jensen, Perris S.
Perris S. Jensen 1902 ~ 2004  Heaven reclaimed our precious father, Perris S.
Jensen. He died peacefully at home on Saturday November 6th, 2004. Perris was
born at Heber City, Utah on February 5, 1902 to goodly parents. His father,
James C. Jensen was serving a missionary call for the LDS Church, a mission
which lasted for 23 years. His mother was Ward or Stake Relief Society
President during all of the years that Perris was growing up. Perris was a
member of the first Boy Scout troop in Wasatch County. Eventually he became an
Eagle Scout. During World War I he sold Liberty Bonds under a nation-wide
program called "Every Scout to Save a Soldier." For this, after the war, he
was awarded, by the U.S. Treasury Dept. a medal and a banner which he
treasured all his life and displayed on special occasions. Perris was active
in the LDS Church. He served in some capacity almost continually for 85 years,
starting at being called as the Secretary of his Deacons quorum up until the
time he was temporarily blinded, caused by an attack of shingles which
disabled him at age 96. His service included secretary of his priesthood
quorums, member of MIA and Sunday School Stake Boards, Scoutmaster, two full
time missions, one in Holland and one in Great Britain, High Priest Group
Leader, Bishop's  Counselor and Stake High Counselor; but he was primarily a
teacher, in the MIA. in his High Priest Quorum and in the Sunday School where
he taught the Gospel Doctrine class for 26 years. When he was 75 years old he
was called as Stake Leader of the Name Extraction Program. He and his crew of
up to 42 faithful workers extracted and submitted to Church Headquarters for
temple work, over two million names. He continued in this program until
crippled by the shingles. Perris dropped out of High School, he supposed for a
year, to get out of debt. He didn't get back to school for over sixty years.
He completed his correspondence law course, passed the bar examination and
practiced law for over 60 years. On Dec. 31, 1941, 24 days after the attack on
Pearl Harbor, Perris was "drafted" by the U.S. Army and  served as a civilian
with the U.S. Division Engineers. After the war  he resumed his legal
practice, but limited his practice to Real Estate, Probate, Wills and Trusts.
He taught classes at the Extension Division of both the University of Utah and
at Westminster College in Real  Estate Law. Finally, at age 77 he decided it
was time to become educated. He applied at BYU for registration as a freshman.
The registrar asked him why at his age he wanted to enter a university. Perris
responded with two reasons: first, could he still do it and keep up with the
"kids", and second, whatever he learned he planned to take with him into the
hereafter. He was admitted, and four years later received his Bachelors Degree
in Independent Studies and graduated as valedictorian of his class. Several
months after his return from his mission to Holland, Perris married Gwen
Williams, a daughter of David J. Williams and Martha Ann John Williams. The
ceremony was performed in the Salt Lake Temple by Elder Orson F. Whitney of
the Council of the Twelve.  To them were born six children, Homer (Shirley),
Wendell, (Maurine), Neil (Martha), Bruce (Diane), Arlene (Wife of Gary C.
Curtis) and Marilyn(wife of John  B. Dougall.) Homer died June 15, 1970. The
others survive. To these six children were born 37 grandchildren; 36 of whom
still survive, 127 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren.
Perris was honored to carry the Olympic torch on his 100th birthday. Funeral
services will be held in The Willow Creek 6th ward Chapel. 2115 E Sublette
