Brunyer, Clarence Gayle
Clarence Gayle Brunyer GRANDPA Clarence Gayle Brunyer, 80, passed away
February 12, 2005, surrounded by his family at the University of Utah Medical
Center from head injuries sustained in an accidental fall. Gayle was born June
6, 1924 in Tooele, Utah to Clarence and Ruth Adamson Brunyer. He graduated
from Tooele High in 1942 and married his high school sweetheart, Blanche Hale,
August 22, 1942. Together they raised three daughters and one son prior to
divorcing in 1971. Gayle joined the U.S. Navy in 1943 and was stationed in San
Diego, California. After completing training he was assigned to the US
Marshall on which he did a tour of duty to the South Pacificf during World War
II. In 1945, upon completion of his tour, he returned to his hometown of
Tooele where he began raising his family. Gayle's career in the petroleum
products business started as a service station manager for the Chevron Oil
Company in Tooele. 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. He also worked for the past 25 years as a marshal on the golf courses
of Mountain View and the Old Mill which he loved with all his heart. Gayle had
many favorite hobbies - #1 was golf. 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. He is survived by his loving companion of 25 years, Barbara Pratt;
and her two daughters, Polly and Mary Anne (Randy); and Gayle's three

Peterson, W. Gayle
W. 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. Gayle loved nothing more than watching wildlife
along the Henry's Fork of the Snake River in the company of his family. 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. Services will
be held at Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South Temple, Wednesday February 16, 2005
at 2 p.m. Friends and family may also call at a viewing Tuesday from 5:30-7

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 had four brothers, Roy, Leo,
Delbert and Arthur, and a sister, Verda. Etna graduated from North Summit high
school in 1934 and later attended Stevens-Henager College. 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. She is survived by her husband, Dwayne,
and three daughters, Sue (Mike) Burningham, JoAnn (George) Billings, and
Dianne (Paul) Lerdahl, 17 grandchildren, 17 great-grand-children, and one
great-great-grand-child. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, February 15,
