Byrne, Linda Prokuda Heinonen
Linda Prokuda Heinonen Byrne 1947 ~ 2005 Lin Byrne, beloved wife, mother,
grammy, sister, aunt and friend, left the world a little less bright with her
death on February 8, 2005. Born to Paul and Fran Prokuda and brought up in
Michigan, Lin spent 17 years raising her own family in Tucson, AZ. She was the
first student to receive her BA from the University of Arizona's Extended
University program and was 1997 Student of the Year for the evening and
weekend campus. Lin worked for Dain Rauscher in Tucson and then in Salt Lake
City, where she met her new husband, Gerry. Lin ended her 14-year career with
Dain as the Regional Administrative Manager for the State of Utah. In 1998,
Lin received the Broker's Advisory Council Commendation Award. Before her
retirement, Lin also worked as Vice President for Compliance at Morgan Stanley
in Salt Lake City. Wherever Lin lived she quickly gathered a large group of
friends and became involved in her community as a volunteer leader. As a young
mom in Michigan, Lin served as Religious Education Coordinator at St.
Patrick's Parish in Union Lake; Treasurer of the Keith Elementary School PTA;
and President of the Lakeland Coop Nursery School. Lin worked for many years
caring for children at Casa de los Ni os, a crisis nursery in Tucson. While in
Tucson, Lin also served on the Principal's Council at Canyon del Oro High
School; as Volunteer Coordinator of St. Odilia's Parish; Treasurer of Canyon
del Oro Little League. Lin's volunteer work continued with her move to Salt
Lake City where she took on leadership roles in many organizations, including
Membership Vice President of the Utah Symphony Guild and President of the
Catholic Women's League. She served two terms as President of St. Catherine's
Newman Center Parish Council, during which Lin took a lead role in raising
capital for a building expansion and renovation. Lin was also involved with
Inter-Faith Council and as a member of the Dominican Laity. Lin was an
enthusiastic and vocal fan of the University of Arizona Wildcat basketball
team and the Utes football and basketball teams. Some say she is the
inspiration behind the Ute's undefeated season! Lin's greatest joy, however,
was in raising her two children, Carrie and Scott, and in being Grammy to Ruby
Lin. And while she took pride in her children's many accomplishments, her
proudest moments were in watching them become such wonderful adults. Lin
nurtured and treasured her relationship with Pam and Toni, collectively known
as "the Sisters," and enriched their lives immeasurably. Lin embraced life,
meeting each day with grace, good humor, a sense of optimism and unconditional
love. She made the world, or at least her corner of it, a friendlier, more
joyful place. Lin will be missed by her husband, Gerry Byrne and his family;
her daughter, Carrie Heinonen of Chicago; son and daughter-in-law Scott and
Carrie B. Heinonen and their daughter, Ruby Lin of Flagstaff; sisters Pam and
Toni; and the many other family members and friends whose lives she
brightened. A "Celebration of Life" mass will be held at the Newman Center in
Salt Lake City on Saturday, February 12, at noon. In lieu of flowers, Lin's
family asks that donations be made to St. Catherine's Newman Center, 170 S.

parts and products, poultry processing and a plant manager for a popular ice
cream manufacturer. He married M. Isabella Shepherd, July 11, 1936 in

years. He is survived by his faithful dog Kita; son and daughter-in-law,
Richard S. and Ann Miller Eastlyn; three grandsons, Rich, Erik and his wife

Mart, Justin Wren
Justin Wren Mart "Papa" Born into his daddy's arms in Jordan, Montana. Passed
away in the arms of his loving family in Sun City, Arizona on February 4, 2005
and lifted up by the arms of our Holy Father. Met the love of his life, Betty
Mury, in high school. They were married while Justin was serving his country
in the army and just celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary. During Betty
and Justin's big adventure they were the biological parents of four loving
kids, Pam, Paula, Penny and Gordon. Many more thought of Justin and Betty as
their adopted parents. On the grand tour the family lived in Montana, North
Dakota, Wyoming and stopping in Roosevelt, Utah long enough to put down his
roots. During that pause (34 years) he managed the top selling Rocky Mountain
Region Oil Field Supply Store for Continental EMSCO. Justin very much approved
of and loved his children's choices of spouses Mickey, Craig, Jerry and
Suzanne. Justin's eight grandchildren, Jessie, Cory, Jenny, Cody, Elliott,
Colin, Terry and Patrick, were a blessing for him that he couldn't get enough
of. Justin will be remembered for his strong morals and character, his sense
of humor and his ability to "curse". He was always helping someone - somehow
he never took pity on himself. He was as tough as barbed wire on the outside,
but as soft as an marshmallow on the inside. If our dad has cussed at you, if
our dad has pulled your stuck car out, if you have given our dad a speeding
ticket, smile and think a happy thought and enjoy our dad. Justin is survived
by his children and wife Betty; sisters Betty (Les) Shorten, Margie (Ernie)
Shoeman; brothers Wayne Mart, (Elgene), Melvin Mart (Kathy); Betty's sisters
Phyllis (Dan) Fink, Evelyn (Ed) Ritter, Pat Thorgaard, many special nieces,
nephews and adopted by many as their dad. The family has shed an ocean of
tears and grieved enough for everyone, so all that is left is celebrating his
life. We invite you to join us at the Myton Presbyterian Church February 12,
2005 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Justin's name to the
Myton Community Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box 39, Myton, Utah, 84052, would be
appreciated.

and gentle example. Her "I'm fine" answer regarding inquiries about how she
was feeling characterized her always optimistic attitude. Her sweet, kind,
