GEORGE, UT- Diania Haycock Rex, a beloved daughter of God, returned to Him February 9, 2005. Born September 12, 1916 in Panguitch, Utah, she was the youngest of Albert F. and Margaret Hatch Haycock's four children. They later moved to Salt Lake City where she graduated from East High School in 1934. On October 14, 1940, she married Harold M. Rex (of Randolph, Ut) in the Salt Lake Temple. Their home was blessed with five children. Government and service to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints took their family to many parts of the world. As a young mother she and her husband presided over the Brazil Mission from 1945-1949. Harold worked for the US Foreign Service in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, Libya, Trinidad, and Colombia. Diania was a wonderful hostess and friend to foreign dignitaries and many general authorities who visited. Life was not easy being so far from family and homeland. They were often the only LDS members in a country, holding church services in their home. Diania instilled in her children a love of the gospel of Jesus Christ and a deep appreciation for their American heritage and freedoms. After retiring in 1975, they returned to the US and their family, making St. George their home. In 1977 they accepted a mission call to serve in the Genealogical Society's extraction program. They traveled to New York, Central America, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Jamaica to secure permissions and oversee the microfilming of church and government records. They returned and built their first home in Bloomington in 1984. Living in impoverished parts of the world enhanced Diania's natural compassion for all people, and especially those less fortunate. She taught her family service and sacrifice as she volunteered in many settings such as hospitals, schools and libraries. In St. George she worked for eight years at the Chamber of Commerce and donated over 3,500 hours to the Dixie Regional Medical Center as a Pink Lady. An avid reader, she especially loved helping children and adults learn to read. A champion of good causes, her family first, she worked cheerfully and tirelessly for others. We know her joy continues. She is survived by her loving children: John (Deann) of St. George, Ut., Jeff (Joette Marie) of Escalante, Ut., Yara (Wayne) Selph of Salt Lake City, Ut., Judd (Cindy) of Yorba Linda, CA., and J.B. (Fran) of Leeds, Ut., 26 grandchildren, and 35 great- grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings, husband, and one grandson. Her family wishes to express heartfelt thanks for the love and care she received at Brighton Gardens and through the hospice program.

If you are reading this, I have taken my last breath. Instead of your having now to put together my obituary, consider letting me write it for you, as follows. I was born on March 29, 1928, to William H. and Gladys Barker Westwood, in Salt Lake City. I grew up there and after graduating from the University of Utah College of Law in 1952, practiced law there for a time, mostly while working half time and later full time for the State of Utah. That job led to my working for the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads in Washington, D.C. My last job of any consequence, it involved the collection and analysis of highway accident and travel data. In time, I left Washington to live again in Salt Lake City. I never married, living most of my life with my stepmother, Ruth Newman Westwood, in her home in Salt Lake City. There she gave me sustenance of every kind, sacrificing unstintingly in doing so yet avoiding being judgmental with me about my many shortcomings. That I didn't deserve what she did for me is a huge understatement. To each member of my family (both nuclear and extended) and to each of my friends: Thanks for the joy and richness you brought into my life and for being you. Carry on...and take care. Ralph is survived by mother, Ruth N. Westwood, sisters; Carol (Arnold) Angle, Sandy, UT., and JoAnn (Gale) Johnson, Grover, WY; brothers; Dale (Shirley) Westwood, Salt Lake City, and Richard Westwood, Cedar City, UT; and many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by parents, sister Lucile (Carl) Weatherbee, nieces, Shauna Angle and Linda Weatherbee.
