Catherine C Lewis 1920 ~ 2005 Catherine Elizabeth Conley Lewis, age 84, passed
away peacefully May 27, 2005 surrounded by loving family members. Known by her
family and friends as "Peggy," she was born Oct. 12, 1920, in Salt Lake City,
Utah to Philip and Charlotte Conley. On Aug. 8, 1941 she married John Dean
Lewis in the Logan LDS Temple, and they began their life together in Los
Angeles, CA. They are the parents of nine children, two of whom have preceded
their mother through the veil. Peggy grew up in Los Angeles where her sweet
mother (a German emigrant) worked hard to support her two daughters by working
as a seamstress. Peggy was influenced by her mother's love of cooking, sewing,
music, and nature, and enjoyed participating in women's choirs from an early
age. After graduating from Los Angeles Polytechnic High School, Peggy began
working at the Bank of America. She later met and married John, making their
home in North Hollywood where their first four children were born. John and
Peggy moved to Arizona, where they had the next five children, and enjoyed the
slower-paced life of Mesa. Shortly after the birth of their last two children
(twins) the family moved back to southern California, where they lived until
dad's final job change took them to Salt Lake City, Utah. Passionate about
gardening, she enjoyed landscaping each new home. Her kids loved to tease her
about knowing the common (and Latin) names of each flower variety known to
man. Peggy lived life with frugality and moderation, moving at a gentle pace
to enjoy the beauty of life around her. She is known for her quick wit, quiet
intelligence, love of geography, and her wide knowledge on many subjects,
often reading encyclopedias and dictionaries in her spare time. Peggy played
field hockey, softball, and golf in her earlier years, and to the delight of
her grandchildren, she enthusiastically followed sporting events until the end
of her life. Always an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, Peggy's life has been her testimony of the Savior's
teachings through her humility, compassion, and quiet acts of service. She
will be remembered for her many sacrifices, with a special talent for making
everyone in her life feel loved and needed. Peggy's family has been the
unquestioned focus of her life. A devoted wife and mother to her large family,
she has always provided just the right blend of laughter, discipline, love,
and forgiveness. Peggy is survived by seven of her nine children, Christine
(Bill) Owens of Phoenix, AZ, Roberta Lewis and John (Ann) Lewis of Orem,
Barbara (Lo-well) Camp of Alpine, Jeffrey (Kathleen) Lewis of Minnetonka, MN,

Shafer, James Harry
James Harry Shafer 5/6/1914 ~ 5/26/2005 The family of James (Jim) Shafer would
like to share in a celebration of his passing with all of his friends. He set
out on his final cruise May 26, 2005 from the Residence of Care Source in Salt
Lake City, Utah. Jim was born in Pocatello, Idaho on May 6, 1914, the son of
Harry and Urania Shafer. He graduated from Pocatello High School, where he was
known as "Slim Jim". He also attended Diesel Technician Institution in
Portland, Oregon. On July 3, 1938 he and Dorothy Perkins were married in
Pocatello and then moved to Salt Lake City. He worked for 47 years as fleet
operation manager at Garrett Freight Lines, where he was the backbone of the
fleet. Under Jim's supervision, he helped Garrett become one of the top
trucking companies in the country. Known as "Big Jim" at Alta, Jim, with wife
"Tomata" were true pioneers in encouraging families to enjoy the outdoors
together. Through their efforts, skiing was introduced to numerous children
and their parents in the Salt lake Valley. In like fashion, in summers, Jim
and Dorothy (Poppie and Goggie) taught us all how to enjoy the wonders of
nature; hiking in the Wasatch Mountain, and water skiing at Wanship, Flaming
Gorge, Jackson Lake, Redfish Lake and Lake Powell. Poppie especially enjoyed
his role in tour guide at Lake Powell, showing countless friends and family
the wonders of the red rock canyons, and the secrets of catching striped bass
for dinner. For a man who never learned to swim, Big Jim loved his boats and
being on the water; the very water that a few months earlier has been the snow
in the Colorado Rockies where Jim and Dorothy, son Jim and daughter Sue had
spent winter vacation at Aspen and Vail. On other years they ventured to Sun
Valley, where Jim and Dorothy found themselves in 1936 helping to inaugurate
that grand lady of the skiing world. They loved to dance away the evenings in
the Duchin Room, and make friends with all who came by. Poppie, as he was
nicknamed by granddaughter Jennifer, will always be remembered for his big
smile and even bigger heart. With Dorothy as the social director, and Jim with
his signature expression, "Yes, Dear", there was never a dull moment around
the campfire, or barbeque, or on the beach, or at lunch at Alta. Jim was
always there to tell stories, help fix something, offer a ride, change the
oil, or tow a boat. He was truly a wonderful, gentle man to all. Jim is
survived by his daughter Sue Rowland (Frank) and son Jim Shafer (Carol);
grandchildren Jennifer Diehl (Brent) and their two sons Hunter and Axel;
Ginger Ferries (Tom), John Rowland, Michael (Kimberly) Tolley and their
children Kayleigh, Katherine, and Emma; and Ryan Shafer. Jim was recently
preceded in death by his lifetime companion and loving wife of 67 years
Dorothy. A celebration of Jim's Life will be held Saturday, June 4, 2005 at 11
a.m. at the Holladay Cottonwood Mortuary, 4670 Highland Drive, Salt Lake City.
There will be a reception for all family and friends following the ceremony at
the Peruvian Lodge in Alta (van provided). In lieu of flowers, the family
suggests donations be made in Jim's name to the Utah Ski Archives addressed
to: University of Utah Ski Archives, Marriott Library, 295 South 15th East,
Salt Lake City, Utah 84112.
