Beeley, Flora S.         
Flora S. Beeley Great Sense of Humor Flora S. Beeley died of natural causes on
Monday, August 15, 2005, in St Mark's Hospital, Salt Lake City. Her husband,
Stephen J. Beeley, preceded her in death in 1998. Flo was 82 years old and
lived in the Salt Lake area all her life. She is survived by her sister, Mrs.
Adine (Dee) Chipman; her son Micheal G. (and Karen) Beeley and her daughter
Patricia B. Ronneburg; her granddaughters Nicole (and Mark) Lengel and Monique
Beeley; and her great-granddaughters Lauren and Maegan Lengel. Flo graduated
from East High School and the University of Utah where she was better known as
"Flashy Flo from Kokomo." While raising her family, she completed her
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
will be held at 11 AM at Larkin. Interment will follow immediately at Wasatch

extraordinary talents, aesthetics, and generosity. Completely devoted to his

came in spending time with them. His wry and unexpected sense of humor, his
appreciation and understanding of the natural world, his loyalty to family,
friends and community, his keen intelligence, and his uncompromising artistry
in all he endeavored, deeply endeared him to all who were fortunate enough to
know him. As his 15 year-old son, Max, observed, "He was a man who liked to do
things." Tim was a beloved and gracious gentleman to the end. He leaves a
trail of light in his passing. The family would like to thank Dr. Michael

Jensen, Kurt        
Kurt Jensen 1964 ~ 2005 Kurt Jensen, 41, passed away peacefully in the arms of
his beloved wife on Aug. 16, 2005 in Salt Lake City, Utah, due to
complications of Type I diabetes. He was born June 6, 1964 in Seattle,
Washington to Ronald D. Jensen and Gwyneth Owen. At age 40, after a five year
courtship, he married the woman he'd waited his whole life for, Tracey Berg
Dalby on Nov. 12, 2004 in West Valley City, Utah. Survived by his wife,
Tracey; parents, Ron and Gwyn; sister, Linsey (Dale) Durand; nephew, Charles
J. Durand; and many other family and friends who miss him deeply. Also
survived by three eternal friends, Chad Atkins, Kurtis Lowe and Allen Peacock;
and the pets that he loved: Leo, Mary Lou, Meisha, Emily and Jackson. Kurt
waited 40 years to marry the woman he adored. Their love was pure and
everlasting. His most important goal in life was to make his wife happy; he
did that every day. They both felt so blessed for the short time they had
together. they cherished this gift of time. Kurt cherished the friendship he
had with his parents and sister. He also cherished the friendships he had all
over the United States. He quietly helped so many people. He attended the
university of Washington and Columbia University. Kurt experienced so many
trials in his short life and he always pulled through them with dignity and
grace. He was a true gentleman. He loved Bach and all classical music. He read
everything he could get his hands on and cherished his book and music
libraries. He was a man with so much faith. He was gentle and forgiving. He
always put the needs of his wife ahead of his own. He supported his wife in
everything she did. He loved her more than anything and she loved him the same
way. His laugh and smile were contagious. He loved life and was so thankful
for successfully making it through all of the many trials that came his way,
starting at age 14, when he was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. This disease
took away his dream of becoming a pilot. He made it through years of dialysis,
heart surgery and a kidney and pancreas transplant. He was so thankful for the
gift of life he'd been given by a donor whose family decided to give the gift
of life through organ donation. A perfect night for Kurt was dinner with his
wife, reading, and a trip to the book store to find books and music. He loved
to share music with his wife, introducing her to classical music and wonderful
literature. He loved to spend time alone with his books, music and writing. He
felt blessed by his neighbors who treated him like they'd known him for a
lifetime. He worked at Elliot Bay Book Store in Seattle for several years,
hosting the reading series. He was so proud of that job. He went from Seattle
to L.A. to New York to Philadelphia in a quest to be an editor. He wanted
nothing more than to publish a book, which he was in the process of submitting
to an editor; "The Children of Job: on Suffering." He was also working on a
novel, "The Pilgrimage of His Consolation." He moved to Salt Lake City in
January, 2002 to be with Tracey. Kurt was a wonderful writer. He worked for
Kirkus Reviews and reviewed several books for the Boston Globe and Los Angeles
Times. He also kept several journals. He had an amazing gift with words and
language, and spoke fluent Latin and German. Special thanks to the staff of
the University of Utah Hospital who provided care for him over the last few
years. Very special thanks to his family and those he considered family. He
had such deep love for them all. He will be missed more than words can say.

of the morning so that they would survive and find a good home. Her kindness
and compassion were truly an inspiration. Ruth made the world a better place
for those privileged to know her. Ruth is survived by her mother Georgia,
