grandmother at birth, as her own mother was ill and died six weeks later. At
four, her father remarried and she returned to live with him and her
stepmother. She had a hard life as a child from then on, but she was a
survivor. Going to Hollywood in the early 1930s she got small parts in films
such as Anthony Adverse and Wife v Secretary. Within a short time she was
hired at the Bali Club on Sunset Blvd as a hat check girl substituting for the
regular girl. The owner liked her so well that he gave her the job
permanently. Film personalities frequented the dinner club. She met Cole
Porter, Jean Harlow, and other entertainment industry luminaries. Her stories
of her life then and the people she met and worked with could make an
interesting novel. Dora married Clifford Carlisle in 1937 and lived in both
Berkeley and in the Los Angeles area until 1947. She enjoyed buying homes,
fixing them up, selling them, and buying bigger homes. In 1947 the family
moved to Palmdale, CA, and in 1949 to Washington D.C. where both worked for
the federal government. In 1952 her oldest of three sons was killed leaping
from a horse and she moved back West to be near her family. She and Clifford
retired to Utah in 1967. Clifford preceded her in death in 1985. She is
survived by two sons, Stephen Carlisle of Salt Lake City, and Clifford
Carlisle of Farmington, Utah. She will be deeply missed by friends and family,

in any situation was always welcome. All of her life she was a role model, she
led by example. She had strong deep morals and values that were admired by all
that knew her. Her compassion never faltered. She was a true humanitarian who
recognized human suffering. She held many positions in the community that
aided the poor and needy. She was a foster parent to children that society
cast aside. She always went above and beyond to help those in need. She was an
advocate and a voice of those in need. She served on various committees whose

have a voice. She received numerous service awards throughout the years for
her work for social justice. She had a genuine giving personality who affected
anyone who was fortunate enough to know her. Her lasting impression will
forever be missed. Our mother, wife, sister, grandmother and friend was a
woman with true class. She had a deep passion for life. Her strength,
compassion, loyalty and integrity made you want to be a better person. She
truly lived life for her family, faith and friends. Her strength was enviable

forgotten. Lillian was survived by her husband Phillip; her three children,

after being fatally struck by lightening while attending a Boy Scout camp.
Paul is the light of his family and will be greatly missed. Paul was an avid
reader and an accomplished athlete. He excelled in all avenues of his life,
and found great joy in challenging himself both physically and mentally. Paul
exhibited a calm confidence and independence well beyond his years, and his
quick wit and charming personality touched the lives of many and provided him
with both the courage and the ability to stand up to the inevitable teasing
that accompanied his status as the youngest of four boys. Paul is an Eagle
Scout and was to attend East High School this fall as a sophomore. Paul has
left us much too early and we grieve for our loss. Paul leaves behind a very
large family including his parents, brothers: Jeff and his wife Johanna,
Peter, and Greg, maternal and paternal grandparents, numerous aunts, uncles
and cousins, his scouting family, a strong ward family, and a host of close
friends. The emptiness his loss brings to the hearts of all who love him may
be filled with the knowledge that Paul has been called home to continue a
greater work for which we know he is well prepared. Funeral services will be

Ratterman, Tyler C.           
Tyler C. Ratterman 1985 ~ 2005 Tyler C. Ratterman was born July 18th, 1985 to
Russell and Cherie. He left this world much too soon in the early morning of
August 1st 2005. The light and love of Tyler's life was his infant son Cameron
Tyler Ratterman, born March 16th 2005. Tyler leaves behind a large family; his
son, mother, father, sister, brothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins,
and countless friends, all of whom love him dearly and cannot imagine life
without him. Tyler was like part of the family to his numerous friends and
their families. We'd so often heard the phrase "Tyler is like a son to me" or
"Tyler is like a brother to me." Tyler attended schools in the Millcreek and
Murray area, graduating from Murray High School in 2003. He enjoyed all sports
and was a real health and fitness nut. As a talented artist, Tyler loved to
draw and paint. Next to spending time with his son, Tyler enjoyed long drives
in his cars, and attending and viewing all types of motor sports events with
his family and friends. Tyler had a big heart and was generous to a fault. He
often times gave to others at a sacrifice to himself. He would give a homeless
man the shirt off of his back, if he thought that was what he needed. He will
truly be missed by all who love him. Tyler wanted nothing more than to be the
best father he knew how to be. A trust fund will be set up for his infant son
Cameron Tyler Ratterman at America First Credit Union, if you would like to
make a donation in lieu of flowers. We invite all family and friends to
celebrate his life at Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South Temple. Services will

Walz, Robert Chaussee "Grampy Bob"           
Robert C. Walz "Grampy Bob" 1920 ~ 2005 Robert Chaussee Walz ("Grampy Bob")
died of congestive heart failure on July 9, 2005, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He
was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, brother, and
friend. His greatest joy in life was spending time with family, friends, and
new acquaintances alike. Bob added spice to the lives of those who knew him.
Grampy Bob was born in Vermillion, South Dakota, on May 13, 1920. After high
school and a year at the University of South Dakota, he took a job with the
City of Vermillion. Across the street from city hall was a bowling alley, and
it was there he began a relationship with Jean DeHaven, his high school math
teacher. Their later marriage in Great Falls, Montana, where Bob served in the
Army during World War II, was proof that great things can begin in unusual
places. Bob and Jean had three sons, Robert DeHaven of Kansas City, Missouri;
Stewart Chaussee of Salt Lake City, Utah; and Clark Allen, who died last year
while serving as a minister in Erie, Pennsylvania. Bob was loved by his
daughters-in-law and granddaughters, Merrill (Robert) and Juli Ann (Devan)
Monroe, Mary Beth (Stewart) and Ashley Marie, and Julie (Clark) and Sarah
Ruth. He was also loved by his great-grandson, David Michael Monroe. After a
career in public service in Vermillion and Brookings, South Dakota, Bob moved
with Jean to Salt Lake City to be near Ashley Marie and her parents. After
Jean's death in 1991, Bob continued to live in Salt Lake City and spent the
last seven plus years among friends at the Parklane Apartments. Known for his
teasing sense of humor and collection of zany tee shirts and sweatshirts, Bob
was loved by many. In addition to his sons and their wives, his
granddaughters, and his great-grandson, Bob is survived by his nieces, Kristin
Anderson, Carolyn Wickens, Linda Ames, and Julie Condon. He is also survived
by his sister Glen Farmer. Grampy Bob finally has peace and quiet. Bob and his
family are grateful to the residents and staff of the Parklane Apartments, to
CareSource (hospice), to Home Options Senior Health Care, to his long-time
physician and friend, Dr. Frank Yanowitz, and to family and friends for their
love and support. In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Heart
Association are suggested. Memorial services will be held at 2:30 p.m. on
Saturday, August 6, 2005, at the Parklane Apartments, 680 East 100 South.
Interment will be private. Funeral arrangements are provided by Evans & Early
