Clyde, Don Roger Don Roger Clyde 1936 ~ 2005 We will miss our father Roger Clyde for his warm heart and unconditional love for our family; the world will remember him for his prolific genealogy and temple work and his ever present suspenders--symbolizing his devotion to the divine and his "hitch up your pants and work" ethic. During the early morning of February 10th, at the age of 68, he unexpectedly passed away from complications of diabetes. His wife and two daughters were with him as he moved on to his next assignment. The youngest of six children, he was born October 19, 1936 in Salt Lake City to parents Edward Clyde and Hannah Mendenhall Clyde. He spent his early years in Springville and attended Springville High School. He became an Eagle Scout. He later graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Civil Engineering. As an LDS missionary in the Eastern States Mission, he was not only an enthusiastic teacher, but his technical talents were put to good use when he was placed in charge of lighting for the Hill Cummorah Pageant in Palmyra, New York. He married Dolly Thuryle McCauley in the Salt Lake Temple June 5, 1959. Roger started working when he was five years old with the family-owned W.W. Clyde and Co. This experience led him to pursue a vocation in heavy construction. Following his education, he and Thuryle moved to Oakland, California where for 11 years he worked in major construction with large firms in the Bay Area including the Dillingham Corporation. While in California, they were blessed with two daughters, Elaina and Kristene. Roger was asked to go back to Washington D.C. for the construction of the Washington metro system. Later, he and the family moved from Virginia to Bountiful, where he eventually started his own consulting company as a cost estimator. Roger was devoted to the Lord and loved serving in the church. He was a High Priest and always served with dedication in the positions to which he was called. He was a "doer" who would get things done when asked or even without being asked. Roger was a long time member of the Mueller Park 2nd Ward where he ardently supported the Boy Scout program. Until the diabetes caught up with him, he was always excitedly joining the hiking and camping activities of the troop, helping the boys achieve their scouting goals. The scouts will forever hold in their memory and get a chuckle out of Roger's famous scrambled eggs. He supported the missionary program, often quietly assisting and sustaining those serving. He was eagerly engaged in genealogy and temple work and enjoyed his several years as a temple worker in the Bountiful Temple. His research resulted in the identification of thousands of names for whom members of his family performed ordinance work. For many years he was asked to administer the temple baptistery and diligently fulfilled his calling. He is survived by his wife Thuryle; daughters Elaina (William) Gillespie and Kristene (Brian) Gonzales; six grandchildren who he greatly loved; also, one sister, Pauline Pace of Salt Lake City; and brothers, Calvin (Brigitta) of Logan; Hal (Aileen) of Springville; and Norman (Phyllis) of Provo. He was preceded in death by brother Grant (Leone). The family wishes to thank the doctors and the ICU unit at the University of Utah Medical Center who watched over Roger during his fight with his illness, especially doctors Timothy Beals, Christopher Jackson, and Thomas Miller. Funeral services will be held on Monday, February 14th, 12 noon at the Mueller Park 2nd Ward, 1800 S. 850 E. in Bountiful. A viewing will be at the ward house Sunday evening from 6-8 p.m. and prior to the funeral at 10:45 to 11:45 a.m. Burial will be at the Evergreen Cemetery in Springville.

Leavitt, Cherry Irene Bower Cherry Irene Bower Leavitt 1922 ~ 2005 If of world goods Thou art bereft And on thy slender shelves Alone two loaves are left, Sell one and with the dole Buy hyacinths to feed the soul. ST. GEORGE, UTAH - Cherry Irene Bower Leavitt passed away on Friday, February 11, 2005, surrounded by her family from both sides of the veil. Her last days were not easy, but she met the challenges of age and the obstacles of health with grace, courage, and dignity. She was born on October 19, 1922, in Manila, Philippine Islands, to Colonel Ralph Emerson and Omega Ruth West Bower. She and her family followed Grandpa Bower through his military career to posts and ports throughout the United States. To Cherry, excellence and achievement were the measuring devices of her life. She was possessed of a sharp mind and a keen intellect. She had an indomitable spirit and incomparable integrity. Indeed, in this world she made a difference. Cherry attended and graduated from St. Luke's School of Nursing in Denver, Colorado, where she excelled and where she was entirely devoted to preparing for her chosen profession. In the process of her education, she met, fell in love with and married the man of her dreams, Donnell Eugene Leavitt. They were married on May 1, 1943, and on that day formed a team that worked effectively for the remainder of their days. Through countless friends and spiritually-guided missionaries, Cherry joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the marriage that began in a small Episcopal Church was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. Mom and Dad were the proud parents of Diane (Charles) Miller, Donnell II (Janet), Craig (Lee Ann), Bryan Emerson, and Lyman DeRay (who preceded her death), and Adrienne Morgan. Mom was compassionate and served with vigor all who were in need of her nursing skills. She was tireless in her nursing uniform and would often go from home to home in the neighborhood caring for those who felt the power of her love through her compassionate service. She was privileged to serve President and Sister David O. McKay as a private duty nurse and loved the hours and years she spent in their service. Mom is survived by a grateful progeny of children; 24 grandchildren; and 44 great-grandchildren; a sister, Martha Smith, of Downey, California; two step-sisters, Marilynn and Adele; and friends too numerous to note.

Squires, Joan Ann Miller Joan Ann Miller Squires 1941 ~ 2005 Joan Ann Miller Squires left this life from her Salt Lake City home on February 10, 2005. She entered it in Albany, NY on March 9, 1941 as the child of Leslie Fey and Margaret Elizabeth Glenck. She was married to her soul mate and eternal love, Dr. Thomas Gregory Squires, in Mt Olympus Presbyterian Church on May 21, 1989 and they renewed their vows there on May 21, 1999. Joan was preceded in death by her father and survived by her mother, her brother, Peter, and her husband and his children, Lynn Squires-White, Gregory and Joseph as well as her sister-in-law, Linda Squires McKinley and her brother-in-law, Roy. Joan lived her personal life caring for others, and much of her professional career was also spent in service to others -- as an education specialist and advocate for underrepresented persons. Her love of knowledge led her to earn a BA in English (1963) and a Master's in Information Science (1964) from the State University of New York at Albany. Joan began her professional career at Union College and Albany Medical College libraries, but soon moved to the New York State Department of Education where she held key management positions in medical research and then in education of children with special needs. In 1979, Joan moved to Colorado where she assisted the Director of the National Renewable Laboratory with strategic planning and administered the laboratory's education programs. In 1992, she moved to Salt Lake City and continued her lifelong work in education working as an independent consultant to develop enrichment programs for young women and underrepresented populations for various government agencies. In Salt Lake City, Joan also returned to her love of books through part-time employment in the Salt Lake County Library System and the Reid School. Joan spent many joyous hours traveling with family and friends, always with her husband and companion, Tom. Her favorite times were those she and Tom spent in their Salt Lake City "nest" with their pets, Niki and April Snow and at their retreat at Otter Crest, high on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Gardening, walking, reading, golfing - whatever Joan and Tom did together was filled with love, peace, and commitment to each other. At Joan's request, there will be no memorial service. However on May 21, 2005, family and friends are invited to join in a celebration of Joan's life at their "nest". In lieu of flowers, please send donations for the Joan Miller Library Fund to the Reid School, 2965 E. 3435 So., Salt Lake City, UT 84109-3161.

Stevens, Alice Joan Tonnesen Alice Joan Tonnesen Stevens "Everybody Loves Jo" Our beloved mother and nan returned home to her Heavenly Father Friday February 11, 2005. Mom was born April 5, 1935 in Salt Lake City, Utah. On July 30, 1956 mom married dad, Boyd Stevens, in Ely, Nevada. They were later divorced. Mother was the oldest of three daughters born to Walter Tonnesen and Alice June Ongley Tonnesen. She graduated from South High School. Everyone who knew Mom loved her. She was quick to make friends with anyone she met. Mom was constantly thinking of others before herself. She had a great sense of humor, which was infectious. She could always make you laugh. All of the kids in the neighborhood loved to spend time playing at our house because... "Your mom is so fun"! Everyone was always welcome at our house. Mom was always our best friend. We will miss you Mom, more than words can say. It was very difficult watching Mom suffer during the last few years with the many health challenges she faced. Despite these daily challenges, she never considered herself ill and she never did allow it to even come close to slowing her down. Even when she needed help herself, she was always the first one to assist others, oftentimes at great personal expense to herself. She referred to herself as a "free spirit". Mom is survived by her two daughters, Toni (Barry), and Shauna Stevens (Mike Blackburn), sister Linda Graf and her grandchildren whom she adored so very much, Zak and Samantha Gingery and Jennifer and Tyler Gull as well as nieces and nephews. Mom always lived for her family. Mom was preceded in death by her beloved son Ned, whom she adored, her father, Walter Tonnesen and mother Alice June Ongley Tonnesen, and her sister Patricia Roche. Funeral services will be Wednesday February 16, 2005 at 12:00 noon at Larkin Sunset Gardens Mortuary Chapel, 1950 East 10600 South, Sandy, Utah, where friends and family may call Tuesday evening from 6-8 p.m. and one hour prior to the service on Wednesday. In keeping with Mom's spirit and her great concern for others, in lieu of flowers you may make a donation to The Humane Society of Utah, The Utah Food Bank or The Road Home. We would like to express our gratitude to the staff at St. Joseph Villa for their loving care and support. Published in the Salt Lake Tribune on 2/13/2005. Weston, Etna Margaret Richins Etna Margaret Richins Weston 1916 ~ 2005 Etna left the gray mists of Alzheimer's behind reaching upward for the brightness of eternity on February 10, 2005, in Bountiful, Utah. Etna was surrounded by her family who cherished her, especially her devoted husband, Dwayne, who has tenderly and lovingly cared for her during the 11 long years of her disease. Etna Margaret Richins Weston was born February 29, 1916 in Henefer, Utah, to Harvey William and Sarah Margaret Calderwood Richins from whom she received a noble heritage and faith to sustain her throughout her life.

Etna had three great loves in her life: her love for her sweetheart Dwayne, her love for her Savior, and her love for her family. Etna took great joy in her companionship with Dwayne; even in the depths of Alzheimer's she was able to express her love for him. Etna's love for the Savior was shown through dedication to her many church callings and service to her family, friends, and anyone she saw in need. Each day she prayed to know who needed her help. Etna's love for her family was shown through her many talents of cooking, sewing, crocheting, embroidery work, and quilting. Most of all, she expressed her love through thoughtful deeds and through her example - Etna lived what she believed, a Christ-like life. Etna was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers, Roy and Leo.
