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
daughters, Gayla (Boyd) Casper, Sue (Tom) Frame, Peggy (Tom) Balkenhol; and
son, Richard Gayle (Marie) Brunyer; 20 grandchildren; and 29

was born on May 23, 1913, in Sandy, Utah, to August Matts Nelson and Mabel
Electa Jensen Nelson. He was a craftsman and a builder, a man who could make
things with his hands and with his skill. He was proud of the many homes and
businesses that he built throughout the valley, particularly his own home
where he lived for 48 years, and he leaves behind a legacy of his work in his
children's homes. Perhaps his best work was that he was the proud architect of
a close knit loving family which includes his beloved wife, June Smith Nelson,

children are: R. Kent Nelson (Jolene), Lyn E. Nelson (Lynda), Linda Bringhurst

had been the Instructor in his Priesthood Quorum for 44 years. He and June
were active in Temple Work for many years. He served his Church and his family
his entire life. He taught by quiet example, and never sought the limelight,
although he was justly proud of his services to others. He was a graduate of
Jordan High School and never failed to attend reunions. Until the very end of

Rock, Loraine Brooks Garfield
Loraine Brooks Garfield Rock 1922 ~ 2005 COALVILLE - Our loving mother and
"Grandma Raine" having lived an exemplary life, passed away peacefully at her
home on February 13, 2005 at the age of 82. Born July 15, 1922 in Coalville
Utah, the daughter of William Earl and Nettie Crittenden Brooks. Loraine grew
up on the Brooks family farm in Hoytsville, Utah where she and her 14 siblings
learned the value of hard work. She married Ralph Laurel Garfield in 1940 and
together they raised four children: Kent, Linda, Karen and Kerry. Although
work moved them to several locations, Coalville was where they finally settled
and it became their home. Upon Ralph's retirement they spent their winters in
Quartzsite, Arizona for 18 years and made many friends while there. After
Ralph's passing in 1991, she married Winn Rock of Mackay, Idaho. Their short
time together was spent traveling and enjoying the expanded families. He
passed away in 1997. Music was a passion to her, the accordion and organ were
her favorites to play and she was always looking for a good music program to
attend. Loraine was actively involved in the Senior Citizens organization and
enjoyed participating in the band there. As a lifetime member of the LDS
Church she served as Relief Society President of the Coalville 1st Ward and a
faithful visiting teacher for many years. Loraine enjoyed any kind of sport,
but softball was the sport she enjoyed playing herself. Year after year she
followed her children and grandchildren to all of their games or activities,
each time with a compliment or encouraging word. Traveling the world and
country with her family or just to take the "ladies" for a little ride was an
enjoyment for her. The next trip was planned before the current one was
completed. She had many special friends who will miss her companionship. She
would always extend an invitation to those she thought needed to "get out" or
seemed lonely. Never to just sit idle, she was always crocheting another
project, only to give it away to family or a friend in need. Her posterity
have many beautiful afghans adorning their homes. What she had and you needed,
she gave. Loraine was a woman of great strength, resilience, and accepted
others just as they were. She was truly a woman that saw being a "Mother" as
her most important role here on this earth. Mom has left us with a legacy of
unconditional love, we will miss her. "We cannot see her, but she is with us
still. A mother like ours is more than a memory... she is a living presence."
She is survived by two sons and two daughters: Kent "Tink" (Linda) Garfield;
Linda (Leroy) Grant both of Coalville; Karen (David) Richins of American Fork;
and Kerry "Tub" (Marla) Garfield of Henefer; step-son and daughter: Marvin
(Ethlene) Rock of Inkom, Idaho and Kay (Jack) Winchester of Idaho Falls; one
sister, Thelma West of Morgan and brother Ralph "Gus" Brooks of Washington
Terrace. Her pride and joy were her 16 grandchildren, 18 great-grand-children
and one great-great-grand-daughter. They in return loved her dearly and
affectionately called her "Grandma Raine!" Preceded in death by her husbands,
nine brothers, three sisters and two grandchildren, Jimmy Garfield and Laurel
Ann Garfield. Funeral services will be held in Coalville on Thursday, February
17, 2005 at 12 noon at the LDS Stake Center. Viewings will be held at the
Walker Mortuary in Coalville, Wednesday evening, February 16, 2005 from 6:00

music, and philosophy. He was an avid reader and lover of books. He graduated
from Olympus High School and the University of Utah with a degree in

schizophrenia from which he suffered the rest of his life. As a young man,
Clark loved climbing in the Wasatch, Uinta, Teton, and Wind River Mountains.
He successfully climbed peaks in the Alps, including Mt. Rosa and the
Matterhorn. Clark's relationship in his early adulthood with Linda Daniels
English was surely one of the greatest gifts in his life. Clark will be
remembered by his family and friends for his bright mind and memory, his sense
of humor, and his committed spirit which helped him stay alert and interested
in events of the world in spite of his mental illness. Clark is survived by
his parents, Norman and Barbara Tanner of Salt Lake City; his sisters, Susan

City; and his nephews and nieces. The family wants to thank all the people who
helped make Clark's life as rich and full as possible given his mental
illness. In particular, we want to thank the staff at Valley Mental Health,
especially Jona Nusink-Curry, Drs. Ted Wander and Marge McCoy, the staff at
Hillside Rehabilitation Center, Bonnie Thornock, the staff of Harmony Home
Health, the staff at Avalon Valley Rehabilitation Center, Lois Brandreit, and
the staff of the restaurants Clark enjoyed including Kyoto, L'Avenue, Marie
Callender's, and the Paris. We also want to thank the people at the Salt Lake
City Library and Sam Weller's Book Store for their patience and kindness in
helping Clark with all the books, articles and essays he always ordered. In
lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Salt Lake City Library or
Valley Mental Health. Family and friends plan to gather to remember Clark at a
date in June as yet undecided. Funeral under the direction of Lindquist's
