Published in the Salt Lake Tribune from 4/6/2005 - 4/7/2005. 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. Published in the Salt Lake Tribune from 4/5/2005 - 4/6/2005.

Forward, Haydn Haydn Forward "Taffy" 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.

Steven Tsosie Plummer, Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Navajoland (Navajoland Area Mission) died peacefully on the morning of April 2, 2005 in Shiprock, NM at the Northern Navajo Medical Clinic. He had been fighting lymphatic cancer for several years, and bore his illness with dignity as he continued to shepherd his flock. Steven was born on August 14, 1944 in Coal Mine, NM. He was baptized at 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.
