Beesley, Ira Walker "Ike"          
Ira Walker "Ike" Beesley 1918 ~ 2005 SOUTH OGDEN- Ira Walker "Ike" Beesley,
87, beloved son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather
passed away Monday, December 19, 2005 at The Legacy House of Ogden where he
lived with his wife Afton. Ike was born October 11, 1918 in Sunset, Utah to
Ira Walker and Catherina Van Daalen Beesley. He married Afton Stauffer on
March 27, 1937 in Ogden. Their vows were later solemnized in the Salt Lake
Temple. He was raised in South Ogden and attended Birch Creek School and Weber
High School. He served in the Civilian Conservation Corps and worked for the
Union Pacific Railroad and the Utah Power and Light Company where he started
as a meter reader and retired in Salt Lake City as a sales representative,
where he won many awards. He was instrumental in putting on many home shows
for the greater Salt Lake Home Builders Association. He was an avid golfer and
worked hard to get the Bountiful City Golf Course built. The "Ike Beesley
Classic" is still held yearly at the Bountiful City Golf Course. He was one of
the first members of the South Ogden City Volunteer Fire Department where he
served as Assistant Chief. Ike always had a desire to live in California.
After retirement in 1985, he and Afton moved to Hemet, California and lived
there for 10 years. They moved back to South Ogden in 1995. He was an active
member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was an excellent
teacher and served in a bishopric and was a Seventy and a Stake Missionary in
the Bountiful South Utah Stake. He was a very faithful home teacher! He and
Afton served an 18 month mission to Nauvoo, Illinois from 1986 to 1987. They
were also ordinance workers in the Los Angeles California Temple. He served as
a High Priest Group Leader and on the High Council of the Hemet California
Stake. He LOVED attending the Ogden Utah Temple where he would ride his bike
to and from his South Ogden home most days the temple was open. His testimony
of the gospel was sure and complete. Ike enjoyed walking and, as long as his
health allowed, would walk each morning. When his memory began failing him, he
would often walk two or three times each day, thinking he had not yet taken
his walk for that day. Surviving are his wife, Afton, of South Ogden; their
son Don (Annette), South Ogden; seven grandchildren and their spouses; 28
great-grand-children; two brothers, Grant (Phyllis) Brown, Hemet, California;
Frank (Diana) Preston, Pierce City, Missouri; and a sister, Mary Jane

Janice; his parents; and two sisters, Nellie and Irene. The family expresses
their deep appreciation for the loving care provided by the IHC Hospice Team
of Ogden and the staff at Legacy House of Ogden, Manor Care Center, and Mt.
Ogden Nursing Center. Despite the many challenges brought on by dementia and
Alzheimer's disease, Ike had a remarkable spirit and love of life, which was
evident in all he did. He loved others, especially his family, and most
especially his great-grandchildren. We thank him for the knowledge he has
given us and know that he will continue to inspire us to continue to do our
best. We look forward to the day when we will rejoice with him again. Funeral
services will be held Friday, December 23, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. at the South

grand-daughter in Alaska. She was a life long member of the Lutheran Church.
Her private nature and her Christian sense of humility kept many people from
knowing that she was fiercely opinionated, politically aware and an assertive
woman before it became fashionable. She was full of new ideas, and traveled to
many new lands. She visited places as varied as the Soviet Union, the Balkans,
Australia, So. America, Europe and Asia. She loved studying the Bible and was
a voracious reader and excellent chef. She enjoyed camping, sewing and
fishing. She was a political news junkie, she enjoyed RV-ing with her husband
Bob, and some labeled her a card shark. Her love of reading, fine food and
adventure has been passed on to her daughters. Her faith in Jesus Christ, her
friends and family, as well as her sense of humor sustained her. In lieu of
flowers, please make donations to the Christian Pilots Association c/o St
Paul's Lutheran Church. A memorial service will be held Friday December 23,

Schouten, Debbie Gallegos          
Debbie Gallegos Schouten 1957 ~ 2005 Debbie Marie was born July 15, 1957 in
Salt Lake City, UT to Moises and Flora (Herrera) Gallegos. Debbie passed
peacefully in the presence of her two loving sons and husband as well as her
many close family members on December 19, 2005 in her home. Debbie's
courageous spirit held strong through seven years of tribulation with breast
cancer. The strength she demonstrated was surpassed only by her love and
appreciation for all that life offers. Those around her, especially her
family, grew tremendously from the attitude that Debbie demonstrated. She is
truly an inspiration. Her passion for life has been transmittable to all who
have had the privilege of being near to her. Debbie's exuberance and
relentless will to live was evident to anyone with whom she had contact. Her
immense love was personified in the bonds she shared with her husband of 29
years, Ben and her two sons Lance and Chad. All three of whom she regards as
the loves of her life. Debbie attended Stansbury elementary school, West Lake
Junior High, and went on to attend Granger High. Debbie grew up as a
self-proclaimed tomboy and developed a love for sports and the outdoors.
Debbie particularly loved softball and excelled greatly at racquetball. She
continued to play softball and take long bike rides throughout her bought with
cancer. Debbie also grew up in an era defined by rock and roll. And that she
took advantage of. She always has, and always will be a music lover. Her car
stereo blasted; the volume remained loudly cranked until her last days. Rock
on! In her adulthood, Debbie could rarely be found at home on summer weekends.
She spent the majority of that time high in the Rocky Mountains of Utah with
her luxurious trailer. She cherished that trailer nearly as much as the
gorgeous natural surroundings that she shared with her closest family members
and friends. Additionally, Debbie took pleasure in her mountainous environment
during all seasons. Whether it was fall, winter, or spring she could be found
basking in the comfort of the cabin in Timberlakes with her brothers and
sister and other family members of the like. There she found great pleasure in
taking long walks with her sister, dogs, and anyone else willing to stroll
along. Travel was among other of life's pleasures where Debbie found solace,
especially during her illness. If not in the mountains, Debbie could be found
on the shores of Hawaii. Her most recent trip with her family was as recent as
October 2005. Debbie not only traveled the world but also voyaged through the
hearts of a tremendous number of people with whom she came in contact. The
students and faculty of Jordan Hills Elementary were particularly touched by
her benevolent natured persona. She was employed there for 20 years as lunch
manager up until her passing. The work Debbie performed there reached much
deeper than lovingly serving meals to hungry young students. She touched each
student and faculty member individually. Debbie's entire family would like to
extend a very sincere thank you to the Jordan School District for their love
and support during Debbie's illness as well as her healthy time spent with
staff and student body alike. She also put in part time work at Cottonwood
Hospital Food Service where many friendships also blossomed. The family's
deepest gratitude is also extended to Dr. Litton and his entire staff at the
Utah Cancer Specialists. These very special people with extraordinary jobs not
only provided necessary care for an ill woman, but a comfortable environment
where some of Debbie's many friendships were bonded. The love and care that
Debbie received there is irreciprocal and unsurpassed. The family's
appreciation is immeasurable. On Debbie's behalf, the family would also like
to extend thanks to IHC, including at no secondary degree, IHC Hospice. Their
compassionate work will not be forgotten. Their sincere concern for Debbie's
well being during her last days demonstrated the most loving and empathetic
environment any human could possibly provide. Thank you. Debbie is survived
by: her loving husband, Ben. Her two sons Lance (Corin, the daughter she never
had) and Chad. Her beloved dog, Lady. Her special sister and best friend,
Janet (Dave) Puttuck. She had an individual, special bond with each and every
one of her brothers: Randy (Linda B), Robert (Linda J), Donald, Junie, Tom and
Russell Gallegos. nieces and nephews: Dustin, Stephanie, Lindsay, Brian, Amy,
James, Chris, Charmaine (Dom). Grand nephews and Nieces: Dominic, Jonathan,
Maxwell and Jayden. The entire Schouten and Taylor families. Preceded in death
by her mother Flora and father Moises. A special friend and mentor Danny
Smith. We love you Mom! We'll miss you Debbie! We'll see you later, the love
of my life! Donations to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation or The
Huntsman Cancer Institute in Debbies name will be greatly appreciated and
serve in further research in the hunt for a cure. A funeral mass will be
celebrated Friday at 11:00 a.m. at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church, 4914
South 2200 West. A vigil service will be held Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Neil
O'Donnell and Sons Mortuary, 372 East 100 South, where friends may call from
6:00 - 9:00 p.m. Committal, Mt. Calvary Catholic Cemetery, 4th Avenue and T
