Bray, Marilyn S.
Marilyn S. Bray 1923 ~2005 Marilyn Snow Bray left her relatives and friends on
April 3, 2005. To those who knew her, what you see here is not new. To those
who didn't know her they missed a special spirit. Born at Holy Cross Hospital,
Marilyn was educated in public schools and graduated from the University of
Utah in Anthropology with graduate study in Social Work. She received awards
in Debate and at the U was elected to Phi Beta Kappa/Phi Kappa Phi. Though not
active in public politics, she was a dedicated people helper and was concerned
with benefiting the underprivileged and the under-numbered. You didn't need a
poll to know she always voted for social equality, and she was outspoken about
her position. During her early years she worked part-time in State and County
offices but her favorite job was the old SLC Library's Children's Book
section. When her nest was empty, affection for books led her to spend
countless hours as a "Friend of the Library" volunteer. She also worked as
secretary in the Diocesan Chancery office where she doubled as Ms. Fixit. When
machines broke down her bosses called for help because they knew she could
make things work. Later this handiness carried over to relatives' birthdays
when the lucky ones got knitted sweaters. Getting married and having children
led to far flung travels. As she was gypsied from border-to-border while her
family was educated, close friends learned she was blind to people's race,
creed and ethnic origin. Despite travels here and abroad she never lost her
devotion to the colorful mountain desert of the Southwest Survivors include,
husband, Pat; Paul, Houston TX; Katherine, Buffalo, NY; Margaret, Oakland, CA;
six grandchildren; sister Elizabeth Montague and brother-in-law, Keith
Montague; brother Doug Snow. A memorial mass is planned at St. Joseph Villa's
chapel on Thursday, April 7th, at 1:30 p.m. at 451 Bishop Federal Lane.
Acknowledgements in her name may be made to "Friends of the SL City Library"
or "Friends of St. Joseph Villa". Funeral directors, Neil O'Donnell & Sons
Mortuary. God willing, her spirit rests in peace.

Forward, Haydn
Haydn Forward 1914 ~ 2005 DOB: July 26, 1914. Birth Place: Varteg, So. Wales,
Great Britain. Died at home on April 3rd, 2005, at the age of 90, surrounded
by his loving family. His life's journey included brave decisions that lead
him and his young family to three different countries. He began working as a
coal miner at the age of 14. His continued studies promoted him to the
position of blasting engineer. Unfortunately an accident during a blast
exposed him to direct coal dust. This inhalation of coal dust initiated the
disease that he miraculously endured for another 60 years and eventually
caused his death. Haydn and Hilda were married in 1937 in Tallywain, Wales.
They always dreamed of a better life for their family. That dream combined
with the accident and his love for the Church, initiated the decisions that
began their journey which lead them to Canada and finally to Utah in 1957. He
began a new career and retired from the University of Utah as the "Key
Administrator". As his wife, Hilda, has expressed, "words are not available to
explain his kindness, generosity and love for his family and friends. He
taught his children by example to be honest and truthful in everything they
do." Haydn is survived by his wife; six children; 23 grandchildren and 44
great-grandchildren. We will especially miss his singing, whistling,
storytelling and infectious sense of humor. His dedication and love for his
family and Church was reflected in every facet of his life. Although he will
be greatly missed, we will always celebrate his influence and wonderful life.
Viewing will be held Tuesday, April 5, 6 - 8 p.m. at Mountain View Memorial
Park, 3115 E. 7800 S., Salt Lake City. Funeral services will be held
Wednesday, April 6, at 3 p.m. at the Union First Ward Chapel, 1535 East Creek
Road, Sandy, Utah, with a viewing at 2 p.m.

Good Shepherd Mission, Fort Defiance, AZ in April of 1949. Steven attended
boarding school in Albuquerque but spent each summer at Good Shepherd Mission
where his aunt (in the Navajo sense, his grandmother) Margaret Hardy was a lay
minister. Margaret took Steven under her wing and steered him toward ministry
after he dropped out of school. In 1968 Steven became a lay minister, doing
missionary work, teaching, and leading the Daily Offices. This one-time ninth
grade dropout was accepted by the Diocese of Arizona as a postulant, and
embarked upon a challenging course of study and tutoring which eventually lead
him to become the first Navajo priest in the Episcopal Church. He completed
his GED, and attended Church Divinity School of the Pacific. Steven was
ordained Deacon in July of 1975 and Priest in June of 1976. He was a curate at
Fort Defiance from 1975 to 1977, vicar of St. John the Baptizer in Montezuma
Creek, UT from 1977 to 1983, and became the Regional Vicar of the San Juan
area in 1983, serving at St. Christopher's Mission, Bluff and its two smaller
churches, St. John the Baptizer and St. Mary-of-the-Moonlight in Monument
Valley, UT. He also served as the Presiding Elder of the Navajoloand Area
Mission during this time. Steven married a young widow, Catherine Black on
June 11, 1977 at Good Shepherd Church, Fort Defiance, and in July a
traditional Navajo wedding at the family sheep camp across the San Juan River
in Utah. As is the Navajo custom, Steven moved to his wife's home. Together
they raised Catherine's sons Byron and Brian, and their son and daughter,
Steven, Jr. and Cathlena. When he was ordained, most people did not foresee
the establishment of the Navajoland Area Mission as a separate diocese, or the
1989 consecration of Steven Tsosie Plummer as the first Navajo bishop of the
Episcopal Church. He took office in 1990 and in that same year College
Divinity School of the Pacific granted him an honorary doctorate (DD). In
1991, Nashotah House Seminary presented him with the same honor. Steven is
survived by his loving wife of 28 years, Catherine Black Plummer; his children
Brian Lance Tso and wife Liberty of Durango, CO; Steven Tsosie Plummer, Jr.
and Cathlena Arnette Plummer of Bluff, UT; granddaughters Kelli Ray Tso and
Katherine Debray Tso; his loving and caring families in Fort Defiance, AZ and
the San Juan area of Utah. Preceded in death by Catherine's son Byron Lance
Tso and his aunt Margaret Hardy. The funeral will be held on Wednesday, April
6th at 1:00 p.m. at St. Christopher's Church, Bluff followed by burial at
Plohyaghai family cemetery. The Rt. Revs. Frank Griswold (Presiding Bishop of
the Episcopal Church), Rustin Kimsey (Bishop of Eastern Oregon, Retired) and
Mark MacDonald (Alaska) will lead the services. In lieu of flowers,
contributions to the Steven Plummer Family Fund at the Citizen's State Bank,
77 W. Main Street, Cortez, CO 81321 would be greatly appreciated.
