David is well-known as one with the ability to save struggling companies with
financial acumen. He served with distinction as the Chief Financial Officer

many by establishing this company that helps combat nutritional deficiencies
everywhere and generously pays its representatives to share their product. His
passion to help others includes his employees, their families and thousands of
independent representatives. David's life and actions have positively touched
so many people. Zija International mourns for the loss of a great man and

schooling and went on to teach Grades 1-4 for 15 years in the Davis County
School District. She won numerous awards for her excellence in teaching
elementary school students and was a member of the honorary society, Delta
Kappa Gamma. Flo was quite the athlete: she taught swimming in the summer
between school sessions and enjoyed tennis, golf, boating, water skiing, and
bowling with her good friends in the Goof Balls Bowling League. She was an
avid photographer and scrap booker; loved to play cards; sang with the Stewart
Singers; loved her many cats and dogs; and published a joke book. Flo was an
accomplished painter and prolific needle crafter. Her ribbon winning crocheted
afghans will warm us now that she is gone. Her favorite activity was spending
time with her many friends-old and new-and her family. All of us will miss her
sunny smile and her outrageous sense of humor, but we will know that in
passing, she believed that she would regain the many things that she lost
these last few years: her sight, her memory, her vigor. Friends may visit the
family at 10:30AM Friday, August 19, at Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South
Temple, Salt Lake City. In keeping with Flo's wishes, a brief funeral service

anniversary in 1982. In addition to DeVon's first son, their marriage was
blessed with three more sons. After the boys were grown, she worked at the
administrative offices of Deseret Book for 22 years and she often remembered
the people she met there with great fondness. She gladly served in many church
callings, most of which allowed her to share her love of music - her first
calling at the tender age of 10 as a Primary pianist. She loved to sing, play
the piano and organ, and could do so by sight and ear. She excelled at writing

husband 22 years earlier, by her parents and all her siblings. She is survived

Nixon, Vaughn       
Vaughn Nixon 1913 ~ 2005 CLINTON - Vaughn Nixon, 92, joined his eternal
companion Saturday, August 13, 2005. He was born March 10, 1913 in Iona,
Idaho, a son of Charles Henry and Mary Ann Newman Nixon. On October 9, 1939 he
married his eternal companion, Ruth Margaret Nelson in the Salt Lake LDS
Temple. Their 60 years together was an example of devotion to each other and
to the Lord. They have two children, Janet (David) Carrigan and Stephen (Judy)
Nixon, six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Ruth passed away
January 3, 1999. Vaughn served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints in the Central States Mission where he was chosen to serve
without purse or script. This began a lifetime of service in the church which
included serving as a president in the 76th Quorum of the Seventy and twice as
a bishop's counselor. He and Ruth together served as genealogical missionaries
in the Ogden Genealogy Library. Born the youngest of eight children, Vaughn
was forced to leave school after only eight years of education to help support
his family. Despite not completing his schooling he lived a very successful
and productive life, and was a good provider for his family. Vaughn came to
Ogden during World War II to work as a guard for prisoners of war housed at
the Ogden Army Depot. He later drove bus, and then began a long career in
retailing that culminated with his retirement from Sears. He had many devoted
and repeat customers who would come to him exclusively to buy their shoes. A
tradition was started when Vaughn was working at Sears. He would give his
grandchildren a quarter each time they visited him at work. Soon he was giving
quarters to every child he fitted with shoes as well as to good boys and girls

you've been gone and the pain is still very much with us. We little knew that
morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in
death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, though you did not go
alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us
peaceful memories, your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the
same. But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again. We love and
miss you mom. Always, Esther, Frances, Ben, Jesse, Lupe, Jennie, Roger, Max,

At an early age, Lila demonstrated remarkable poetic talents. She began

flowers were the envy of neighbors and friends. Lila's poetic talents
flourished while in the East Millcreek Fourth Ward. She wrote roadshows and
plays as well as birthday poems for the Relief Society sisters. Lila took
organ lessons from her son Norman and became a talented organist. She shared
her musical talents by playing for the Primary and Relief Society until the
age of 89. Lila held many positions in the LDS Church, and took great pleasure
in serving as an organist at the Salt Lake LDS Temple. In 1982 Lila's beloved
husband Rulon passed away. She continued to reside in East Millcreek until

House. While at Legacy, Lila continued sharing her poetic talents and made
many friends. Lila is survived by her children: Richard (JoAnn) of Dallas TX;

Watts, Ivan J.           
Ivan J. Watts 1927 ~ 2005 "Saying goodbye is hard to do. Be loving, be kind,
be true. Put your arms around each other. Stay together. Love your mother and
take care of each other." Ivan J. Watts, a man we love and adore, passed
peacefully from this life into his Savior's arms, in the early morning hours
of August 16, 2005. Ivan was born March 4, 1927 in Kanosh, Utah, the oldest
son of Wilford William Watts and Thrella Christensen Watts. Ivan married Olive
Hansen for time and all eternity in the Manti temple on January 2, 1952. Ivan
loved the gospel of Jesus Chris and his country. He served both honorably as a
missionary in the North Central States and as a soldier in Korea. Ivan was
educated in the traditional sense, earning degrees from the University of
Utah, Brigham Young University, and a Master's Degree from Golden State
University; although, the education he treasured most came from the mountains,
the desert, from everything his Heavenly Father created. Ivan had a gift for
understanding and caring for animals. Throughout his lifetime, he shared this
love with everyone, particularly his children and grandchildren. With Ivan,
trips through the outdoors - although not always safe - were always a "Watts
Adventure!" Ivan devoted his life to his family and taught them all of the
things that he loved: ranching, camping, horseback riding, fishing, scouting,
gardening, teaching, and above all, a love for his Savior, Jesus Christ. Ivan
loved life and the opportunities it afforded him. He was an accomplished
rancher and educator, and worked for the BLM and the United States Air Force.
After retiring, Ivan worked as a supervisor at the Delta Center. First and
foremost, however, Ivan was the last of the old-time cowboys. Ivan is survived
by his devoted companion, Olive; four children: James, Thrella (Alex), Bryan,
Maurice (Jan). Six grandchildren: Kimberly, Jarica, Alexis, Luke, Landen,
Raquel, and one great-grandchild, Case; brothers and sisters: Gloria, Marilyn,
Wanda, ReVon, Raymon, and Douglas. Funeral services will be held Friday,
August 19, 2005 at 12:00 p.m. at the Little Cottonwood Sixth Ward (Brownstone
Chapel), 6410 South 725 East. Friends and family are invited to call Thursday,
August 18 from 6:00-8:00 p.m., Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary, 4760 South State
Street, and Friday, August 19 from 11:00-11:45 a.m. "I will end by bearing my
testimony. I know the Church is true and that families can be together
forever. I wouldn't have changed one moment of the past. It has been so
beautiful and full of love."
