They graduated from West High and Leonard immediately proceeded to Naval Boot
Camp. They were married on December 26th, 1952 in the Salt Lake Temple for
time and all eternity during his Christmas leave. She was a navy wife for 20
years and made a home wherever his career took them. For 49 years Mom took
care of everyone, and then for three years, it was our privilege to serve her.
Mom's kindness, gentle ways, infectious laughter and helping attitude is a
legacy that will forever remain in the heart of her eternal companion,
Leonard, and their five children: Linda (Lynn) Meikle, Bremerton, Wash; Pamela
(David) Pedersen, South Jordan; Craig (Julie) Christensen, Sandy; Sandra

newspaper route, delivered fresh eggs and served in the LDS church throughout
her life. Mom loved music, children, the outdoors, square dancing, bright
colors, red lipstick, holidays, family dinners and all of us. There was always
room at the table and in her heart for "one more." She was preceded in death
by her mother, stepfather, infant baby sister, and a grandchild. It must be a
glorious reunion. "When their voices have been silenced and we can no longer
see their faces, we'll know and remember that we came from a legacy of love."

are the words Nolan spoke to his wife, "I encourage those that I call family

Kolb, Reverend Quentin France
The Reverend Quentin France Kolb Ya'at'eeh Retired Episcopal Priest and
American Indian Spiritual Leader, Quentin F. Kolb died Thursday, April 7 of
complications resulting from a life long illness. Born in Fort Duchesne, Utah
August 17, 1924 to DonaI Isaac Kolb and Ethel Daniels Kolb, Quentin received
his early education from White Rocks Indian Boarding School and the Bureau of
Indian Affairs School at Fort Duchesne before being accepted as one of the few
non-white students at Roosevelt High School where he published a school paper
graduated as class salutatorian. He served in the U.S. Navy during World War
II, and then settled in Salt Lake to attend the University of Utah. While at
the U., Quentin was active in student government serving as both president of
his class and of the entire student body. He was a member of Skull and Bones,
Phi Beta Kappa, and the Beta Theta Pi fraternity where he also held office. He
graduated Magna Cum Laude from the U in 1947 as one of the first, if not the
first student of native descent. He was recently nominated by the University
Department of Geriatrics as a Living Treasure in the State of Utah. In the
1950's Quentin worked as general manager for Grand Central Stores and later
Paramount Murray Laundry, before packing his family off to New York City to
study for the priesthood at General Theological Seminary. Ordained in 1963, he
first served as curate at St. Marks Cathedral in Salt Lake and later was the
founding vicar of the Church of the Resurrection in Centerville and also as
founding priest of St. Stephen's in West Valley City. Prior to the
construction of the Church of the Resurrection, Quentin held services in the
old Jeep Posse Building where a Buffalo head hung on the wall above a
make-shift altar. Quentin served on the original national board of directors
for Odyssey House and was the Founding Director of the Odyssey House Salt Lake
treatment facility. In addition, Quentin did chaplaincy work at the Utah State
Prison, served as a social worker at St. Marks Hospital, and participated in a
fact finding mission for the U.N. in an effort to develop new strategies for
achieving peace in the Middle East. He has also served many years on the
Crossroads Urban Planning Commission and has been active in the Salt Lake
interfaith community. His greatest strength and joy was in the work he did as
an advocate for oppressed and indigenous people. In the 1990's Quentin was
invited on several occasions to New Zealand by the Maori people who regarded
him as a gifted spiritual leader with an understanding of the unique needs of
Native people. When it was announced that Utah would host the 2000 Winter
Olympics, it was Quentin Kolb who would press the Olympic Planning Committee
to acknowledge the original occupants of the state in a respectful and
dignified manner. The work of his heart, was the work he did at Urban Indian
Support Ministries. He established a safe place where Indians, who were away
from reservations for whatever reason, could find a sense of community. There,
they could seek guidance and assistance, both spiritual and physical, in
establishing themselves in meaningful and productive lives, while continuing
to embrace their Native cultural values and traditions. Quentin is survived by
his sisters, Naturitch Kolb Neilsen and La Donna Kolb Johnson; his brother, Ty
Kolb; his children, Jon Christopher Kolb, Candace Kolb, and Quentin France
Kolb Jr; his stepchildren, Robert Coulter and Stephanie Coulter; four
grandchildren; and three great-grandchil-dren. The family would like to thank
Sharon Odekirk and her family for the love and support they have given over
the past several years, and warm thanks also to the staffs at both St.
Joseph's Villa and at The Residence by Care Source. In lieu of flowers, the
family would be honored by contributions made to: The Circle of Wellness, c/o
The Indian Walk in Center, 120 West 1300 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115, in
Quentin's name. A celebration of Quentin's life will be held 3 p.m. Wednesday,

callings in the church throughout his life. His last calling of joy was at the
Humanitarian Center where he served until debilitated by hip failures due to
the progression of cancer. From the mid 30's through the early 50's, Mardee
was a premier archer in Utah and the Rocky Mountain Region. He held
championship titles in both target and field archery tournaments. He quietly
walked away from that success because of the conflict between Sunday archery
tournaments and honoring the Sabbath Day. The family expresses sincere thanks
to the caring and devoted personnel at the Federal Heights Nursing and
Rehabilitation Center, and LifePath Hospice for their dedication and kindness
during their father's final days. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m.
