Because of his hard work, ethics, and outstanding personality he was offered a Chevron Oil distributorship in the Salt Lake valley that would be called the Gayle Brunyer Murray/Midvale Distributorship. After many years of hard work, not leaving Chevron, he entered business with Bingham Gas & Oil. After nearly 40 years of service to Chevron Oil, he continued in various other services in the petroleum business. During his retirement years he enjoyed and took pride in working as an usher at the Delta Center.

If he could be on the golf course he would consider that as close to heaven as you could get. His lifetime dream was to get a hole-in-one, which will not happen here on earth. He loved the outdoors. He was an avid sportsman, including camping, fishing, and hunting. In his free time he most enjoyed being around his family. If no family members were around, he would go to his basement where he produced some of the finest woodworking projects you could imagine, ranging from post office piggy banks "which he made for as many great-grandchildren as time permitted" to bird houses. Gayle was one-of-a-kind. There will not be any other just like him. We all love him very much. There will not be a day pass by that he will not be remembered.

Gayle Peterson "GG" Wallace Gayle Peterson, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother, was joyously welcomed into heaven Saturday, February 12, 2005 by the loving arms of family and friends who have preceded him in death. Gayle was born October 7, 1912 in Bountiful, Utah. He was the son of Louis W. and Grace Vawdrey Peterson. He attended both Utah State and Brigham Young Universities. He served his country in the U.S. Navy during World War II, rising from enlisted man to Lieutenant. Most of his military service was in the South Pacific, where he served as Communications Officer for an Admiral, a position of honor. After the war, he married the love of his life, the former LaVida Cameron, in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. They were inseparable for 58 years. He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and offered years of service in a variety of callings. He is survived by his wife, LaVida; sons, Michael Craig (Alison), and Robert Kent (Sherri Lynn), and four dearly loved grandchildren, Lisa, Wesley, Jonathan and Adam. His grandchildren nicknamed him "GG" when they were too tiny to be able to call him "Grandpa Gayle." Gayle enjoyed the outdoors and loved to travel with his sweetheart. They generously shared trips in their motor home with the rest of the family, and the memories of exploring Southern Utah's red rock parks and other picturesque places together will never be forgotten. Also cherished are memories of the annual visits to the Cameron cabin in the Yellowstone area. Their generosity in sharing their beautiful cabin made it possible to unite the extended family in the magnificent splendor of the wilderness.

The family wishes to thank the staff of Christus St. Joseph Villa for providing compassionate care in the final weeks of Gayle's earthly life.

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.

She was working at Remington Arms when she met her sweetheart, Dwayne. Their marriage on September 14, 1943 in Chicago, Illinois, was later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. 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.
