Snow, Elizabeth Todd          
Elizabeth Todd Snow 1918 ~ 2005 "Beth" Snow reluctantly succumbed to the
demands of time just hours after her 87th birthday. She was preceded in death
by her husband Gordon on August 20, 1999. Beth was born in Roosevelt, Utah on
August 24, 1918 to Douglas M. and Margaret Burton Todd. Beth was a gourmet
cook who attracted invited guests as well as those who accidentally dropped by
at the dinner hour in the hopes that extra food and generosity might be their
reward, as it often was. As with her cooking she also became an expert
seamstress and continued to create unique designs and fashionable clothing for
her daughters and daughters-in-law for years after they were married. As a
graduate of BYU, a Homecoming Queen and a member of the Val Norn sorority she
attracted the attention of our father, whose only previous love had been
tennis. He quickly learned just how difficult this conquest would become.
After several years of competing courtships our father finally convinced our
mother to marry him on November 23, 1940 in the Salt Lake Temple. Just one
week before the birth of their first child her husband left for the war, and
with rare exception they did not see each other again until World War II
concluded. Upon Dad's return five more children would bless our growing
family. Our mother witnessed first-hand the effects of the depression and
consequently had learned not only the value of money but of hard work. She
taught both principles to her children emphasizing, before it became
fashionable, that men should share the housework, which they certainly did.
Her boys got nowhere in suggesting that this also meant that their sisters
should also learn how to do yard work. Mother was always tenacious in her zest
for life. You were never left wondering what she thought about any particular
subject. She was always forthright and completely honest in her views. She
always believed thoughtfulness was something you had to teach and well she
did. She became a favorite of her care givers never forgetting to thank them
for all the tender care they provided. When the children were grown mom went
to work for the Real Estate Department of The Church of Jesus of Latter-day
Saints. She retired there at the age of 70 after 20 plus years of impeccable
service. It was noted at her retirement party that there were new employees
who had already missed more work in a year than our mother had during her
entire employment with the Church. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints Beth's greatest love was that of teaching young women.
This she did for almost two decades developing friendships that have endured
the passage of time. Beth is survived by her children, Grant (Arlene), Joanne
(John) Neumann, Greg (Barbara), Sherrie (Jim) Jones, Annette (Robert) Sperry,

West, Lillian Mary Jurey           
Lillian Mary Jurey West 1915 ~ 2005 Salt Lake City, Utah - Lillian passed from
this life on Wednesday, August 24, 2005. Her life began in Eureka, Nevada on
July 14, 1915. Born to Richard Jurey and Ethel Quick Jurey. She attended
school there and upon completing the eighth grade, took on the duty of helping
her recently widowed mother run a boarding house and to care for younger
children in the family. On February 10, 1934, She and John (Jack) West, of
Salt Lake City, were married. They were to be life partners for the next 70
years. After living in Eureka until 1938 they moved to Salt Lake City and made
their family home there until 1956 when Jack's job took them to Reno, Nevada
for three years. Then, returning to Utah, she and her family made their home
in Vernal, Utah. Upon her husband's death in 2003, she moved to Salt Lake to
be with family. Lillian had been tugging on her own bootstraps from early on
and she never let up, throughout her years, in efforts to improve her family's
and her station in life. She drew heavily on her own creativeness to develop
skills that made her uniquely accomplished as a master of crafts and the
needle arts. She generously shared what she had garnered in her self education
Lillian taught classes in art and crafts through the Vernal School District's
Adult Education Program and went on to establish a family owned retail
business in Vernal where comers from far and wide enrolled in her classes. She
along with husband, Jack, operated their store on Main Street until into their
mid-eighties. She specialized in the creation of bridal gowns and wedding
entourage apparel. Memories of Lillian's good heartedness and passion for
uniqueness will live for a very long time through her creations. Most
everyone, very few exceptions, who have known Lillian has received something
that was made especially for them by those wondrously beautiful, skilled
hands. Her passion, manifest, in each deft stroke, tuck, or stitch. In her
wind down times, relaxing with the newest mystery novel or puttering with her
gardens gave her much satisfaction. As a collector, she was of championship
calibre, roaming the high desert country and mountains around Vernal foraging
for objects of nature and native artifacts to adorn and stylize her gardens.
Lillian was the fourth eldest of seven children and was the last surviving
member of her birth family. She is survived by three sons and a daughter all
of the Salt Lake City area. Verneil, Dermont (Rva), Jon (Denise) and Cleon
Garritson. There are 17 surviving grandchildren and many great grandchildren.
As one of life's bonus gifts, she enjoyed having seven grandchildren in the
fifth generation. She missed the eighth one by less than a day. Could they
have waved in passing? Services will be held Monday, at 10 am, Aug. 29, 2005
at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 10600 South and 1700 East in Sandy, Utah. Viewing
between 9:00 and 10:00 am prior to services.
