much and was concerned about their happiness and well-being. She always kept

Hatch, W. Gene
W. Gene Hatch 1917 ~ 2005 SALT LAKE CITY - Wilda Gene Glasmann Hatch, age 87,
passed on June 7th in her home surrounded by family and loving caretakers.
When Gene passed on, she left her children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren a legacy to share with all Utahns. Gene was a quiet but
effective voice for the beautiful Redrock canyons and plateaus of Southern
Utah. With her husband, George Hatch, and other conservationists, Gene helped
establish Capitol Reef and Canyonlands National Parks, expand the borders of
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, add lands to Arches National Park and
create Antelope Island State Park. As a young woman, Gene was deeply concerned
about the welfare of migrant workers. In 1937 she interrupted her studies at
Stanford University to offer assistance to those hit hardest by the
depression. An accomplished debater, Gene met her match when she debated young
George C. Hatch. In fact, he was her match and their marriage thrived over 60
years. Together, Gene and George lovingly raised a large family and expanded
the Glasmann communication business. From 1955 to 1993, Gene was Director and
President of the Standard Corporation which included The Ogden Standard
Examiner, KUTV television, KALL radio and many other communication businesses.
Gene's active career was arrested by the onset of Alzheimer's disease. For 20
years, Gene struggled with the debilitating disease. George, her children and
caregivers tenderly cared for her over the long duration of her sickness. The
family is grateful for the kindness of Gene's doctor, Dr. Cherie Brunker; the
staff of Hospice, longtime friends Bill and Donna Vogel and Gene's many
caregivers. We especially thank Rawlin and Marcia Pinkerman, Jean Taylor,
Jeanie Eames and Raquel Luz for many hours of kind and expert care. Gene was
born November 28, 1917 in Ogden, Utah, to Abraham Lincoln and Edris Alida
Toombs Glasmann. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University and
received an Honorary Degree, Doctor of Humanities, in 1981 from Weber State
University, Ogden, Utah. Her husband is George C. Hatch, and her children are:
Michell Arnow, Orlando, FL; Diane Orr, Salt Lake City, UT; Jeffrey (Peggy)
Hatch, Salt Lake City, UT; Randall (Ann) Hatch, Salt Lake City, UT; Deepika
Avanti (Carlos Ogsbury) Gold Hill, CO; 15 grandchildren and seven
great-grandchildren. Close friends and family are invited to celebrate the
gentle and bright life of Gene Hatch on Thursday, June 16 from 5 to 7 p.m. at
the home of Jeffrey Hatch. In lieu of flowers, friends are encouraged to
support organizations preserving Utah's desert wildlands and groups dedicated
to understanding and curing Alzheimer's disease. Funeral Directors,

Jenson, Grayson Matthew
Grayson Matthew Jenson 4/17/1976 ~ 6/11/1995 And dying is not an end or a
beginning but an immersion back into life's continuum, back into life as
inexplicable process, that mysterious wild dance of chance and wondrous
improbability, incredible coincidence, and unbelievable possibility. A really
new exploration, one that would look to us today the way the world looked to
Columbus, it would have to be in an entirely new direction. "Like what?" Like
into realms beyond reason. "Tight Lines"

friends and gave unselfishly to anyone in need. Jill loved to travel and was
always up for a new adventure, be it across the world or in her own back yard.
She was active in countless organizations and was always there to offer her
time, abilities, and talents. She was a helper and a healer, whose open heart,
outgoing nature, and overwhelming generosity touched all of us. We say goodbye
to an amazing woman - we were blessed to have had her. A memorial service will
be held in Jill's honor on Monday, June 13 at 11:00 a.m. at Red Butte Gardens.
Following the service, there will be a luncheon to celebrate Jill. In honor of
Jill and in lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to The Hope
Alliance at 2681 E. Parleys Way, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84109. Funeral
directors, Lindquist's Bountiful Mortuary.
