Salt Lake Temple. The couple's lives were blessed with nine children, 28
grandchildren, and 26 great-grandchildren. Birdie's skills as an organizer
were put to the test by running a large household as Theodore spent many hours
working with his brothers to establish Horman Construction Company. She lost
Theodore, her companion of nearly 66 years, in 1999. Birdie was blessed with a
beautiful singing voice, and her life was also filled with countless

volunteered as a pink lady at the LDS Hospital for nearly 13 years. She was a
faithful member of the LDS church, and twice served as Relief Society
president. She also fulfilled a variety of callings that utilized her many
musical talents. Entertainment was an important part of Birdie's life. Even
though she was tough to beat at Skipbo, Crazy 8, and Mormon Bridge, her
parties and various other social activities were always appreciated and
anticipated by friends and family. Birdie's husband and children are Theodore
Horman, husband (deceased); Carol (Robert) Reay (deceased), Theodore D. Horman
Jr., "Teddy" (deceased), Birdeen (Dan) Peterson, Dennis (Winkie) Horman,

Ellingson, Paul Lloyd         
Paul Lloyd Ellingson 1938 ~ 2005 Paul Lloyd Ellingson departed peacefully from
this infinitely beautiful and diverse plane August 3, 2005. He was born March
28, 1938 in Menomonie, Wisconsin to Lloyd Clifford and Emily E. Schettler
Ellingson. He attended East High School in Salt Lake City, and received his
BFA and MFA (art, music and architecture) from the University of Utah. During
the Cuban Missile Crisis, he served active military duty with the U.S. Army.
Paul married Marilyn H. Wayman October, 1964; they later divorced. He is
preceded in death by his parents; and brother, Lloyd Ellingson. Survivors are
his son, Shawn; daughter-in-law, Kassandra (Williams); granddaughter, Sophia;
daughter, Laura, her sweetheart, Blair Sutherland; ex-wife, Marilyn;
sister-in-law, Shirley. A special acknowledgement goes to his piano tuner,
friend, Grady Garrard. His family, friends and acquaintances will miss his
presence in this world. A heartfelt Thank You to the neurosurgeon, doctors and
nurses at LDS Hospital's Shock/Trauma ICU, as well as the staff at South Davis
Community Hospital. We were given the gift of time with Paul because of your
care. Paul is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His
family wishes to extend our genuine thanks to his bishoprics and ward members
who were so generous with their caring and time over many years. Trying to sum
up Paul Ellingson is a challenge, at the very least. He is an individual
thinker with unusual intellect. His ideas and true artistry were reflected in
his non-conformist personality. His occupations and hobbies include art
(watercolor), music (solo jazz piano), architecture, writing, sculpting, model
airplane building, aviation history, skiing, film noir, and old-time detective
radio shows. Paul began learning the piano in his college years. In the
mid-80's, he started his own record company called IVY JAZZ (a million chord
changes), and produced his own two-record solo jazz piano album. He also wrote
numerous articles on jazz history and theory that were published in various
trade magazines. One of his dreams was to build a radio station in Salt Lake
City dedicated to around-the-clock jazz, a musical art form he described as
"America's classical music." Paul's architectural theory, known as
"continumorphic space" began forming while at the U of U, and is based upon
the natural world. Mother nature makes no two leaves (or anything else) alike
and Paul believes the same concept should apply to man's dwellings. His theory
purposefully ignores Euclidian geometry and explores space as organic, with
related but infinite, distinctive forms, known as "morphs." He wrote a
manuscript titled Infinite Variety: A Theory Of Continumorphic Space.
Subsequently, he produced a condensed manuscript: The Metaphysics Of
Continumorphic Space. Perhaps best known in Salt Lake City for his art, Paul
has numerous watercolor paintings in homes and buildings throughout the
valley. His expertise with the medium is regarded by some artists to be the
best in the state. He also taught watercolor at the Salt Lake Art Center and
University of Utah. Paul likes plain old vanilla ice cream, meatloaf and
potato dinners, toast with milk, and late-night popcorn. Green is his favorite
color. His children, Shawn and Laura, will always remember his eccentric
behavior and resulting laughter that brought them to tears. Paul is now living
on with enthusiasm, freedom and peace, enjoying his travels in another
dimension. He spent a good deal of time "lost in space" while on earth. He
will forever remain "Space Cadet Dad" in our hearts. A graveside service will
be held Tuesday, August 9, 2005 at 10:30 a.m. in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
Friends and family are welcome to attend. Please email inquiries and/or
condolences to the family at laura.ellingson@comcast.net. For those who would
like to make a donation in lieu of flowers, please send contributions to the
University of Utah, College of Fine Arts in honor of Paul's longtime
friendship with Dr. Robert A. Olpin.

memories that have filled our lives. Mel's family would like to thank those

Utley, Jeffrey Keith          
Jeffrey Keith Utley "A Hero to Many" Jeff Utley, an extraordinary man of
brilliance, beauty, and kindness, passed away August 5, 2005, in Idaho Falls,
Idaho. He was 48. Jeffrey Keith Utley was born to Samuel Keith Utley and
Glenna Lee Willoughby January 5, 1957. He graduated from Granger High School
in 1975. Jeff attended the Air Force Academy his freshman year of college; The
Academy was a great source of pride for Jeff - he loved his country. He then
returned to Salt Lake, attended the University of Utah, and married his
sweetheart, his greatest love, Kathleen Grace O'Leary. Shortly after marrying
"Kate," Jeff graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Chemical
Engineering and embarked upon a storied career. Jeff possessed an unparalleled
passion for his work; his desire for achievement was inspiring to his
colleagues. He began as an engineer amidst the blazes and steam of the Plateau
Oil Refinery in Roosevelt, Utah. He ended his career as a visionary, a
creator, and a leader for one of America's finest companies. Jeff's path
spanned the globe; from Mexico City, where he was escorted by an entourage of
bodyguards, to Russia, where he shared his brilliant insights over vodka and
caviar. Jeff served as President of the Utah Petroleum Association and Rocky

National Petroleum Association. The man influenced the lives and minds of many
across the world, and forever changed the refining industry. Jeff was generous

He chaired several campaigns for the United Way of Davis County in an effort
to improve local schools. Jeff cared deeply for the environment and acted on
his convictions. Former Utah Governor Mike Leavitt appointed Jeff to the Air
Quality Board and Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board. More then anything,
Jeff was the core of a universe filled with love and happiness, around which
many family members and friends revolved. He achieved a supreme level of peace
with his family at the cabin in the Uinta Mountains, smoking Cuban cigars,
listening to good music, riding snowmobiles, and ensuring all were happy. The
world is a lesser place having lost this mountain of a man. Jeff will be
missed by Lamar and Cacilia O'Leary, who respected all that he gave to their
little girl. The O'Leary sisters very much admired the honor he bestowed upon
Kathleen. Nieces and nephews from both the Utley and O'Leary families have
lost a wonderful uncle. Jeff is survived by his dearest wife; his greatest
admirer and eldest son, Eric; Jesse, his infallible son and pal; his little
girl, his princess, Stefanie; his great and loving parents; Sharilee, his
