Butters 1/16/29 ~ 6/9/05 God saw you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So He put his arms around you, And whispered, "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we watched you suffer, And saw you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. We love you Dad! Life's just not the same without you. If we could build a stairway to heaven, we would bring you back to us. We miss you so much. Love Dana, Mark Ashton and Kelsey Published in the Salt Lake Tribune on 12/9/2005.

She attended grade school in Missoula and Hamilton, MT and high school in Bozeman, MT and Murray, UT. She was a dreamy, carefree child. She completed three years toward a degree in nursing at the University of Utah. Ann earned a bachelor's degree in Sociology from the University of Utah. Ann and John McLain were married in 1970. Ann worked with her husband, John, at whatever endeavor he undertook. John taught Ann how to cook, about his philosophy, how to repair trucks and how to drive his semi, the Golden Clipper. Ann felt free on the open road. Daughter Jerel was born in 1974. She was a precious jewel for ever-so-proud parents. Daughter Rosalee was born in 1979 with severe health problems, but Ann's love got her through the difficult years. Ann always said that her love for her girls gave her the strength to do whatever was necessary. Life with John was short as cancer took him from the family he loved in 1982. Ann gathered all her determination and courage around her and forged ahead on her own to be the best mother she could. Salt Lake City was Ann's home. It was there that she rebuilt her life and spread love out to her many patients in the nursing homes and Home Health. Ann moved from Salt Lake City to Ogden in 2005 in order to spend time with her grandchildren and to give them her love. All the time she was not working was spent with Danny and Ariana introducing them to all the places and things she valued. Cottonwood Canyon and the many canyons in the Wasatch Range held her spellbound with their beauty. She drove to the Trappist Monastery in Huntsville to bring her peace and to recharge her soul. Ann had a very special and personal relationship with Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. Her Bible was read over and over. Each day of her life was lived as the Bible directed her. We know she is wrapped in God's arms to receive his eternal love and grace. Ann was preceded in death by her father Ray Seerup and husband John McLain. She is survived by her daughter Jerel (Mitch) and grandchildren Daniel and Ariana in Ogden, daughter Rosalee (Alan) of Salt Lake City, mother Rose in Missoula, MT, sisters Judy of Missoula, Rita (Mert) in Lolo, MT and brother Ray (Marilyn) in Salt Lake City and numerous nieces and nephews.

In his youth he was an avid skier and ski jumper along with being a soccer champion and track star. He served in the Norwegian Army. Anyone who ever had the opportunity to sit down and talk with him would sit for hours as he told stories of his childhood and his experiences during the war and growing up in a foreign land as a member of the Mormon church. Bjorn was educated at the Bergen Technical Institute with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He designed ships and was a shipyard inspector in Bergen and was forced to build ships for the Germans during their occupation of Norway. He met his sweet wife while ice-skating on Solveigs Lake, but had to wait six years to marry his sweetheart, Ragna, after the war. He brought his family to America in 1948 to start a new life, a life where his children could enjoy the blessing of growing up in the Mormon faith easier than he had. He started over in his career and worked his way up. He worked for the Lang Co., and Titan Steel and helped found Simpson Steel, where he served as president for many years. His genius was estimating. He worked until he was 75. He had a great love for his family and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was LDS and held many positions in the Browning Ward and the Holladay 12th Ward, as well as the Mt. Olympus Stake. He was an active High Priest. He was accurate to the penny in his 20 years as being a clerk. He also enjoyed serving for two years as a stake missionary and later he served for two years as an extraction missionary with his wife.

Zenger, Shirley Means Shirley Means Zenger 1931 ~ 2005 A very special spirit returned to her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, December 6, 2005, surrounded by her loving family, after a courageous fight with cancer. Shirley Ann Means Zenger was born January 29, 1931 in Los Angeles, California to Royal Webster Means and Lillian Livingston Means. Shirley graduated from West High School and married Kenneth Don Zenger on March 5, 1950 in the Salt Lake Temple. Shirley devoted her entire life and energy to her children and grandchildren, and her life was a true and classic example of a mother's deep, unwavering love. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren adored her warmth and loved her grilled cheese sandwiches and waffles, which she made, on request, hundreds of times. Shirley established many family traditions. One of her favorites was visiting the Temple grounds every Easter for family pictures. Christmas Eve was also very special, thanks to her warm-hearted festive love. She was a shopaholic when it came to her grandchildren and never failed to find some Christmas trinket every year to bring the joy of Christmas to a new level! Her home in Holladay was and will continue to always be open. Home was the center of family activities, especially the Sunday dinners when everyone showed up, including all of her children and their spouses, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even their closest friends. Shirley welcomed everyone with open arms and acceptance. Shirley's generosity and kindness to all will be a legend forever. Besides serving her family, travels to Hawaii were one of her great sources of pleasure and enjoyment. In addition, her visits to Europe and cruise trips left her with many memories that she often recalled with pleasure. Shirley had a talent for making friends and giving a sense of comfort to those in her presence. Besides caring for her family, she would often take care of others in need, including people who were complete strangers. She regularly visited thrift and bargain stores to obtain shoes, clothing, and coats, which she distributed to needy children at various schools in the Salt Lake Valley. Compassion cannot even begin to describe the level of service and caring of this amazing woman. Everyone who met Shirley loved her warm smile and her easy conversational manner. Even in the latter stages of her battle with cancer, Shirley made a point to make it to her early morning swim session at the Holladay Lion's Club. Her friends at the swimming pool were captivated by her warmth and concern for every one of them--although her condition was much worse than most others that came each morning. Shirley so loved flowers, especially red roses! She took great care and concern in her gardening to ensure that the flowers had more than sufficient water. Her almost personal relationship with flowers was of a childlike nature. She had an awe and respect for the beautiful earth upon which she lived. She was the anchor of her family. Shirley so loved life; she was truly an angel on this earth. Shirley was a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Shirley is survived by her loving husband Ken, and nine of her 10 children whom she continually had a mother-to-child relationship with: Greg, Lana Jeremy, Kim Mark (Jaime), Diane (Frank) Moffat, Merrilee (Clay) Wilson, Darrin (Katie), Jill (Bruce) Dalebout, Shauna (Christopher) Quick, Justin (Libbie), and her beloved daughter-in-law, Joni. Shirley is preceded in her death by the passing of her most loving and handsome son, Kevin, in 1978. She is also survived by 32 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. We will deeply miss her love and devotion. The family would like to extend a special thanks to everyone who assisted Shirley with her care and treatment. A viewing is scheduled on Friday, December 9, 2005 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Cottonwood Mortuary, 4670 South Highland Drive and one hour prior to services on Saturday. Services are scheduled at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, December 10, 2005 at the Holladay 11th Ward, 2065 East 4675 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84117. Interment - Wasatch Lawn, 3401 South Highland Drive. We would like to give a tribute to our father/grandfather who so kindly cared for his "little flower Shirley Ann" during her five-year struggle with cancer. Ken was always by her side until the very end and could not have been a more devoted husband. Love, your children and grandchildren. Published in the Salt Lake Tribune from 12/8/2005 - 12/10/2005.
