Shurtleff, Helen Clayton
Helen Clayton Shurtleff 1923 ~ 2005 Our dear mother, Helen Clayton Shurtleff,
passed away April 3, 2005 from complications following a fall. Helen was born
January 17, 1923 to David Hyrum and Margaret Cannon Clayton. She was so proud
of her pioneer heritage which included William Clayton, George Q. Cannon and
Emmeline B. Wells. Helen grew up a member of the LDS church on the Cannon
Farm. She attended South High, and continued her education at Strayer Business
College, George Washington U and the U of U. She was a member of the Phi Mu
sorority. She married Albert Wallace "Wally" Shurtleff of August 31, 1946 in
the SL Temple. Wally passed away May 30, 1990. Together they raised five
beautiful daughters. While raising their five daughters Helen worked at
various employments, however her life became defined by the hard, yet
rewarding work she did at Pioneer Craft House beginning in 1957. She truly
became synonymous with Craft House and no one entered without meeting her and
being impressed with her professionalism. She enjoyed lifelong friendships
with the many people associated with Craft House. Despite many physical
limitations, she continued to run Craft House until well past her 80th year.
The Pioneer Craft House will not be the same without her. Helen is survived by
her five daughters Rebecca (DeLane) Hutcheon, Louise Mabey, Marian (Layne)
Wright, Jane (Rick) Herbert, Annie (Joe) Kjar, 30 grandchildren; 20
great-grandchildren; two sisters; one brother and one brother-in-law. She was
preceded in death by her parents, husband, one brother, three sisters and a
granddaughter Megan Wright. Our family expresses sincere gratitude to the
staff and especially the nurses at Highland Care where she spent her last
week. We would also like to thank Gordon and Elaine Neff for the love and
attention they showed to our mom for many years. Funeral services will be held

Tanner, Grace Adams
Grace Adams Tanner 1906 ~ 2005 Grace Adams Tanner died peacefully at her home
on Thursday evening, April 7. She was 98 years old. Grace was attended by her
children and those who have cared for her in her last days. Born in Parowan,
Utah on November 30, 1906, Grace was the sixth child of Luella Redd Adams and
Thomas Davenport Adams, both descendants of early southern Utah settlers. Her
parents' first year of marriage was spent on an LDS mission in Samoa. They
returned to raise a family of eleven children. They worked in dairy farming
and held various church and civic positions. Grace married Obert Clark Tanner
of Farmington, Utah on August 5, 1931 in the Salt Lake Temple. They had six
children. Three of their sons died tragically in childhood of unrelated
causes. Grace and Obert's life together was one of deep affection and mutual
respect. They traveled and studied widely, eventually returning in 1944 to
Salt Lake City where Obert taught philosophy at the University of Utah and
built a manufacturing company that makes recognition awards for corporations
all over the world. Obert died in 1993. A stalwart supporter of her husband's
adventures at every turn, Grace was a vivacious and distinguished woman in her
own right. After studying for three years at the University of Utah, she
graduated from Southern Utah University in Cedar City, and holds an honorary
doctoral degree from that university. The Shakespeare Memorial Theatre there
is named for her parents, and the Alumni Room at the University of Utah bears
her name. Grace and Obert enjoyed their shared charitable work, creating a
legacy of giving for the arts, education and the public good. Grace was
particularly devoted to the Red Butte Gardens and the Utah Nature Conservancy.
Two other projects, named for Grace and Obert, are the Gift of Music and the
Humanities Center at the University of Utah. Grace is survived by her sister,
Carol Adams Wright, of Parowan; her children Joan Adele Tanner Reddish of
Taos, New Mexico; Carolyn Tanner Irish of Salt Lake City; David Obert Tanner
of Ramona, California; seven grandchildren and a great-grand-child. The family
wishes to express their appreciation to Grace's friends and to those who have
cared for her in recent years: Pat Rhodes, Zona Field, Jann Criswell, Viviane
De Oliveira, Claudia Brown, Mark and Terry Gilbert, and Joleen Huber. The
family will greet friends and relatives at Grace's home in Salt Lake City,
3501 South 2700 East, on Monday evening, April 11, from six to eight o'clock,
and at the stake center an hour before the funeral service. Funeral services
will be held in Salt Lake at the East Millcreek stake center on 3103 Craig
Drive (3100 East 3650 South) at noon on Tuesday, April 12. There will be a
family graveside service in Farmington following. In lieu of flowers, the
family requests that donations be made to the Utah State Library for the Blind
and Disabled or Red Butte Gardens. On-line condolences www.larkinmortuary.com
