Osborne, Susan Ann Smith           
Susan Ann Smith Osborne 1942 ~ 2005 Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and
friend, Susan Ann Smith Osborne, Salt Lake City, died December 2, 2005 at home
surrounded by her family and friends, after a courageous, four-year-long
battle with cancer. Susan was born October 8, 1942, in Salt Lake City to Royal
Milton Smith and Hazel Ruby Warburton Smith. Susan spent her early years in
Salt Lake City, Elko, and Moab. She married her loving husband, Phillip Eugene
Osborne, whom she had met while attending the University of Utah, on October
16, 1963. Phil and "Sparrow" moved the next day to the Bay Area, where Susan
subsequently graduated from San Francisco State University with a B.S. degree
in Office Administration and a minor in Accounting. After living in San
Francisco and the Bay area for nearly a decade, Susan, Phil and their children
returned permanently to Salt Lake City. On April 30, 1985, Susan and Phil were
married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple and sealed for time and all eternity with
their three children. Her Mormon faith was a cornerstone in her life, and she
enjoyed serving in the Primary, Sunday School, and Young Women's Association.
Susan excelled in numerous vocations - as real estate agent, librarian, legal
secretary, and most certainly as wife and mother. She retired from the Granite
School District in 2004 after a very successful and enjoyable 20-year career.
Her last position at the district was as the Administrative Assistant to the
Assistant Superintendent of School Services. Susan's wide circle of friends
included neighbors, associates from work (especially her two traveling
buddies, Karen Westover and Linda Frank, who along with Susan were nicknamed
the "Three Gypsies"), and three life-long friends she met while growing up in
Moab, Nancy Melich, Karen Ellison and Annette Mestas, who forever will be
known as the "Moab Gang." Susan enjoyed cooking, sewing, hiking, swimming, and
traveling. Her love of travel was kindled during the summer of 1958 when her
Girl Scout Troop #1, under the guidance of leader Dorie Melich, traveled by
chartered bus from Moab to Mexico. Since then, Susan (the "family travel
agent") has traveled with her family and friends to many places - her most
favorite places being in Alaska, California, Florida, Hawaii, Mexico, Montana,
New York, and Oregon. Susan, or "Grandma Susie," deeply treasured her
grandchildren, Milo, Max, Levi, and Emma. She also enjoyed summers spent with
her family, friends, and relatives at the "Osborne Country Inn" in the
mountains above Heber. Preceded in death by her parents and grandparents.
Survived by her eternal companion and loving husband, Phil; her beloved
daughter, Stacey Ann Osborne Romney; her devoted sons, Michael Troy Osborne
and Matthew Lewis Osborne; her cherished daughter-in-law, Claire Marie
Wilstead Osborne; her terrific son-in-law, Peter Steele Romney; her adored
grandchildren, Nicholas Milo Romney, Maxwell Isaac Romney, Levi Alexander
Romney, and Emma Claire Osborne; her brothers, Milton Heber Smith and Ronald
Warburton Smith; her sisters, Connie Smith Baty, Launa Thomas, and Ernestine
Thomas; her cruise partners and sisters-in-law Patricia Osborne Birkinshaw and
Lois Osborne Baxter, as well as Aunt Josie Smith, Uncle Ray Clark, Uncle Ken
Warburton, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends. "For Death is
no more than a turning of us over from time, to eternity." - William Penn. The
family would like to thank Jan Ryan, RN, Lori Walker, RN, Jayne Dougherty,
CNA, Dr. Jane MacPherson, Medical Director and the rest of the IHC Hospice
Team for helping Susan's last four weeks here on earth be so special to her
and her family. We would also like to thank Susan's many friends and

Redenbaugh, Russell Kendall        
Russell Kendall Redenbaugh 1919 ~ 2005 Beloved and cherished husband, father
and grandfather, Russell Kendall Redenbaugh left us on December 5, 2005, five
days after his 86th birthday. Born to Russell Craig and Elsie Waterman
Redenbaugh, November 30, 1919, he lived his entire life in Salt Lake City.
Russ and Martha Janet Garn were married August 1, 1942. Their marriage was
later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS temple. For 63 years they enjoyed a
loving, creative, dynamic union. Russ was educated in the Salt Lake City
schools; Irving, South High and the University of Utah. But most of his
knowledge came from a challenging life well lived. While still attending the
University of Utah he began a career in candy manufacturing. A recruiting and
induction specialist during World War II, Russ was one of the first recruiters
to enlist women in the Women's Army Corps. Following the war he established
Janet Russell Candies in partnership with his wife Janet. Due to their
uncompromising work ethic this business prospered for over 60 years until
Russ's retirement at age 83. Russ was a renaissance man possessing a keen
intellect and impressive range of interests and abilities. A voracious reader
he knew something about everything (and if he didn't, he made it up). He loved
traveling the world and for a time used his extensive knowledge conducting
tours to foreign lands. His analytical, observant mind was continually
devising better ways to do things. He used these qualities to contribute to
making a better world. His foremost dedication was to his family; his children
and grandchildren, the beneficiaries of much attention and tutelage. A young
adult convert to the LDS religion, he held numerous leadership positions.
Community service was also a priority and as a young man he worked with the
Junior Chamber of Commerce; later he served in the Kiwanis Club, as secretary
for 15 years and then chapter president. He was a founding member of the
Willow Creek Country Club. Russ has gone on to join many loved ones including
his son, David Craig Redenbaugh. Among those holding him in cherished memory
are his wife, Janet; son, Russell Garn Redenbaugh and his children, David H.
Redenbaugh, (wife, Danielle and daughter, Isabel), Allie Redenbaugh, and Jamie
Redenbaugh; daughter, Jan Magdalen, and her children, James E. Magleby, (wife,
Tory, and children Rainey, Austin and Zoey), Robert L. Magleby, (wife,
