Bernolfo, Marie O.
Marie O. Bernolfo "Soar Forever Free" Marie Odell Bamberger Bernolfo, daughter
of a pioneering Utah mining family and great niece of Governor Simon
Bamberger, died June 21, 2005, at her home in Holladay, Utah. The eldest child
of Clarence G. Bamberger and Marie Odell Bamberger, she was born in Salt Lake
City, October 9, 1917 against the backdrop of World War I and the Russian
Revolution. She lived through the trials, triumphs and enormous scientific
advances of the 20th century. Her father's friendship with Dr. Jonas Salk led
to her children being among the first to receive polio vaccinations in hopes
of vanquishing this great childhood scourge. Educated at Rowland Hall, Vassar
College and Stanford University, she married Joseph E. Bernolfo Jr. on June
20, 1940 as World War II was looming. She was a tennis player, skier, and
member of the Salt Lake Country Club Women's Golf Team. Moreover, she was an
equestrienne of great skill. The walls of her barn were adorned with ribbons
won, regularly besting the young cavalry officers in competition at the Fort
Douglas Horse Shows. Her quiet philanthropies both personal and through the
Bamberger- Allen Foundation were directed towards the less fortunate in our
community. She volunteered her time and consideration with grace to many
deserving causes including, reading to the blind, helping at the Craft House
and serving as a Hospital Pink Lady. She was also a member of the Salt Lake
Junior League. Enhancing the beauty of our world through gardening gave her
great pleasure. She was surrounded by the flowers and trees of her Holladay
home and the creation of her Pebble Beach flower gardens. Her love of animals
was legendary. Throughout her life, dogs and cats were at her side and horses
were not far away. She was an ardent advocate for their well being. Fluent in
four languages and widely traveled, she lived her life by the precept: "Face a
l'evenement c'est a soi-meme que recourt l'homme de caractere", ("Faced with
crisis, the man of character falls back on himself'). She never lost her sense
of self or of the times in which she lived. Believing that lack of effort and
ignorance were the worst shortcomings one could have, she was an avid reader
throughout her life. With wit and imagination, she nurtured many friendships
of substance and zest. A lady of elegance and joie de vivre, she was
instinctively devoted to her family. She cared for both of her parents, her
husband, and her aunt, Dorothy B. Allen with love and concern. Her beloved
grandchildren Dylan Rothwell (Erin) and Ashley Rothwell (Christian Draayer)
gave her an unwavering sense of joy. She loved her sons Joseph E. Bernolfo
III, and David W. Bernolfo (Leslie) and her cherished companion and daughter,
Gloria B. Rothwell and husband Hank Rothwell. Preceded in death by beloved
sister Gloria Bamberger. Survived by brother Clarence Bamberger Jr.,
sister-in-law Vivian McCarthy and nieces and nephews and their children who
all felt her love and generosity. Our family wishes to thank the many
caregivers who assisted our mother. Especially, the staff and doctors of St.
Marks Hospital 3rd and 4th floors, west wing, Community Nursing Services
Hospice, Dr. Mariani, Portia Jones, Dr. Kurrus, Dr. Difiori, Rosie Conder, Dr.
Beck and Dr. Crandall. Private family services were held on June 24th at Mount
Olivet Cemetery. Memorial contributions to Utah Cancer Specialists, Moran Eye
Center, Community Nursing Services or a charity of your choice are suggested.

Black, Barbara Erisman
Barbara Erisman Black 1914 ~ 2005 A beautiful soul left our presence on June
16, 2005, when Barbara Erisman Black was welcomed home. Barbara, 90, passed
peacefully in the comforting arms of her loving children. Barbara was born
October 28, 1914 to Albert J. and Jean Webster Erisman in Wilkensburg, PA,
grew up in Cleveland, OH, and graduated from Shaker Heights H.S. Pursuing her
great love, she studied art and English, and graduated from Lake Erie College
excelling in oils, watercolors and wood block prints, one of which was proudly
exhibited in the Cleveland Museum of Art for many years. In the aftermath of
World War II, Barbara served in the Red Cross in Germany as a Recreational
Therapist, helping to raise the spirits of our wounded and disabled soldiers.
There she met and married a handsome Major, John L. Black, who brought her
home to Salt Lake City. John attended law school as Barbara nurtured their
growing family that soon grew to five children; Jean of Olympia, WA; John Jr.
(Karen) of Salt Lake City; Parnell (Linda Melcher) of Salt Lake City;
Christine Fairchild (Anthony) of San Diego, CA; and Donald W. of Iowa City,
IA. They later divorced. In addition to raising her five children, Barbara
always found time to donate generously of her time and energy to numerous
civic, community and church organizations. These included the Women's Bar
Auxiliary where she established a lifelong bond with her beloved "Coffee
Girls," the YWCA serving as President of the Board, Girl Scouts, PEO, Sunday
Singles which she helped found, and many others. Barbara especially enjoyed
serving her church-Wasatch Presbyterian Church. For 50 years, she served in
nearly every capacity available, including that of Deacon. Well into her
eighties, Barbara visited and comforted the aged and infirm church members,
many of whom were younger than she. Barbara treasured her role immensely as
mother and homemaker. She loved cooking for her children-five different
lunches each day! She reveled in entertaining her many friends. All of her
parties had themes with matching centerpieces-long before Martha! Barbara
marveled at the wonders of God's creations, the wildflowers of Albion Basin,
the kestrel roosting on her window sill, and the skittering sanderlings in
Newport Beach. She expressed her love of nature and beauty in her artwork,
creating beautiful watercolors into her 80s. In addition to her five children,
Barbara is survived by five grandchildren; Dane, Cheyenne and Lacey Fairchild,
and Rachel and Bradley Melcher. She is also survived by her very special
friend, confidant, Scrabble competitor and caregiver Joanne Scow, who devoted
herself tirelessly to Barbara's care, comfort and happiness these last four
years. The family wishes to thank the caring staff at the Coventry, Wentworth,
and Care Source, Dr. Greg Goodman and his assistant Stephanie Butterfield, all
of whom helped to make Barbara's final years as pleasant and fulfilling as
possible. A memorial service will be held in Barbara's honor on Monday, July
11th at 11:30 a.m. at Wasatch Presbyterian Church, 1626 S. 1700 E. Friends and
family may call Monday from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. prior to the service.

of flowers, the family suggests donations to Wasatch Presbyterian Church, Lake
Erie College or the American Diabetes Association.

Christiansen, Harold
Harold Christiansen A Titled Gentleman Harold Christiansen died on midsommer
natt, June 21, 2005. Whether earned or inherited, he honored his many titles
by serving loyally as Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Nephew, Grandpa, Uncle,
Great-grandpa, Friend, Employer, Great-great-grandpa, Cousin, Citizen, and
Benefactor. Inheriting his familial titles, he was born September 24, 1909,
four months after his immigrant parents, Simon and Ingrid Christiansen,
arrived in Salt Lake City from Norway. He shared this Norwegian heritage and a
strong mutual love and respect with his eight brothers and sisters, whom he
helped raise after the untimely death of his father. Graduating from the
school of Hard Knocks, he also received master's degrees in Plumbing,
Traveling, and Family Life. Choosing to increase his titles in 1931, he
married his Norwegian sweetheart Helen Marie on October 12, in Farmington,
Utah. Together they increased the royal line with the birth of four children.
Helen died in 1972. Born with a zest for living and spontaneity, he was
happiest when he could solve a problem. He attacked with gusto a new set of
plans and specs concerning the contracting business or any personal edifice.
He had a great deal of "fun" planning leisure-time activities, travel or
unexpected surprises. Life was most precious when he was having fun. He
married LaRae Moffett (divorced); they enjoyed many years of traveling
together. Harold fulfilled his obligations to his many titles by jointly
establishing with Val Palmer the mechanical contracting business of
Palmer-Christiansen Plumbing and Heating Company. He partnered with and later
sold the company to his son Hal. While working on many buildings around Salt
Lake Valley, he was involved with the Plumbing and Heating Contractors,
serving at one time as president. He was also active in the Sugarhouse Lions
Club. Although Harold believed in hard work and fun, he was a true Christian
in his charity to family, friends, church and community in both time and
money. He never forgot to say "thank you." Tusen takk to those who cared for
him over the past five years. His wanderlust took him around the world. His
love for the outdoors meant much time skiing, hunting, camping and fishing.
Always enjoying challenges, he was one of the original ski jumpers to use and
maintain Ecker Hill. He continued his passion for skiing until his nineties by
holding a "free" pass to the Park City Resort, while buying tickets and lunch
for the grandkids and then great-grandkids. As any titled gentleman, he knew
well how to enjoy life, golf, baseball games, ice cream, bright colors, and
donning his red or turquoise tuxedo. Perhaps his final noble title came at age
89 when he was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, an event long awaited by many loved ones. Surviving Harold are his
children: Marlene Dyer, Helen Joan (Gary) Crump, Harold W. (Cecile)
Christiansen and Charlotte (Edward) McDonald; 17 grandchildren; 46 1/2
great-grandchildren; four great-great-grandchildren; brothers Simon (Donna
Lee) Christiansen, Wally (Nila) Christiansen; sister Esther (Pete) Burt;
sister-in-law Annie Christiansen, and many loved cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Preceded in death by his parents; wife of over 40 years, Helen Marie;
sons-in-law Calvin Dyer and Douglas Casper; great-grand daughter Julie Ann;
brothers Rolf, Walter, Birger, and sisters Signe and Elsie; sisters-in-law
Twyla Christiansen, Irene Christiansen and brother-in-law Martin Turner.
Farewell Services, under the direction of Wasatch Lawn Mortuary, will be held
in the Valley View Fourth Ward, 2125 E. Evergreen Ave. on Monday, June 27 at

Kohler, Earl J.
Earl J. Kohler 1916 ~ 2005 Respected private citizen, dedicated public
servant, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Earl J. Kohler, 88,
lifelong resident of Midway, Utah, passed away June 23, 2005, as a result of
injuries sustained in a fall at his home. He departed this life in the home he
built for himself just 100 yards away from the Kohler family home where he was
born on August 9, 1916 to Frederick Kohler and Lucetta Clegg Kohler. Earl was
the sixth of eight children; his siblings, Leah, Leola, Rhea, Ray, Bernice,
and Ruth preceded him in death; his surviving sister, Blanche, lives in
Milpitas, California. Earl married Dawna Marie Fraughton August 29, 1938, in
Coalville, Utah, on their first date, a charming and true family story. They
were happily married for almost 52 years before Marie's death, January 7,
1990, in Bountiful, Utah (Sealed February 1, 1992 in the St. George, Utah LDS
Temple). They are the parents of three children, Dr. Bryan E. (Susan) Kohler;
James F. (Shirley Ann) Kohler of Bountiful; and Linda Kohler Densley of
Midway. Bryan preceded his father in death in March of 1997. Earl and Marie
also helped to rear two nieces, Paula (Kyle) Probst, and Jill (Tom) Taylor.
Earl has missed Marie and Bryan terribly and our sorrow at his sudden passing
is tempered by our knowledge of their joyful reunion. We are grateful for the
temple blessings that bind our family together. Earl was a veteran and served
his country in the U.S. Navy as a Seabee during World War II. Earl's greatest
joy in life was to build things; he built many lovely homes in Heber Valley
including his own, which he and his sons built together when Earl was 74. EJ
Kohler Construction Company constructed LDS chapels in several locations in
Heber Valley. He helped to build the town of Midway into a lovely modern
community during his tenure as "Town President", or mayor, from 1952 to 1966.
Afterwards, Earl continued to serve his community including a term as
president of the Wasatch County Chamber of Commerce. Beginning in 1966, Earl
helped to develop and construct the Wasatch Mountain State Park and made a
mid-life career change to accept appointment as the park's first
superintendent. He continued to work for the Utah Division of Parks and
Recreation until his retirement in 1984, including a stint as the Chief of
Operations. He was well suited to the job because of his hobbies of golf and
fly-fishing. Midway and her citizens have always had a special place in his
heart. Earl was deeply proud of being given the title of "Midway's Honored
Citizen" in 2003. Following his retirement, Earl divided his time between St.
George in the winter and Midway in the summer. Earl looked forward to the
warmer winters in St. George and visiting his new friends there but his heart
was happiest in Midway. During his summers at home, he loved to plant a large
garden so that he could share his crops with everyone. He gave away more than
he ever tried to eat! His workshop was a favorite place for neighbors to stop
by and chat while Earl busied himself with his latest project. He had a
reputation for always helping those in need of a handy man. He was a gruff but
loving grandfather and provided advice and even financial support to many of
his grandchildren for their educations. He built a wealth of lasting memories
that his grandchildren will cherish. He is survived by his children; 15
grandchildren; eight great- grandchildren with two yet-to-be born; his sister,
Blanche; nieces and nephews, and several dear friends and neighbors. His
family expresses their appreciation to all those who loved Earl and made him a
part of their lives. Services for Earl will be held Wednesday, June 29, 2005,
11 a.m. at the Midway Fourth Ward Chapel, 165 North Center Street, Midway,
Utah. Visitation for friends and family will be Tuesday, June 28, from 6-8

Stewart Jr., Isaac Daniel
Isaac Daniel Stewart, Jr. 1932 ~ 2005 Isaac Daniel Stewart, Jr. was born
November 21, 1932 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Isaac Daniel Stewart, Sr. and
Orabelle Iverson Stewart. Dan attended East High School where he was an
outstanding scholar, avid athlete and All State football star. He attended the
University of Utah for one year on a football scholarship where he joined
Sigma Chi fraternity. From 1953 to 1956, Dan served as an LDS missionary in
the West German mission where his mastery of the German language and excellent
understanding of the religion resulted in a public speaking assignment where
he lectured at universities throughout Germany. Months before returning home,
Dan contracted polio. He spent the next year and a half in a difficult
rehabilitation at Rancho Los Amigo Hospital in California where he was
confined to an iron lung and worked to regain the most basic abilities such as
holding a pen. Returning to Utah, Dan weaned himself from a respirator and set
his sights on obtaining the finest education he could receive. In 1959, Dan
graduated with a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Utah, Phi
Beta Kappa, and was selected as class valedictorian. He then entered the
University of Utah College of Law, where he served as Editor-In-Chief of the
Law Review, was elected to the Order of the Coif, and graduated first in his
class. In 1959, Dan married the beautiful and accomplished Geraldine Elizabeth
Bryan. From 1962 to 1965, Dan worked with the United States Department of
Justice Honors Antitrust Department in Washington, D.C. Upon their return to
Utah, Dan joined the University of Utah law school faculty where he spent five
years teaching civil procedure, evidence and antitrust. He was known for
serious legal scholarship and effective teaching. From 1970-79, Dan was a
partner and managing partner at the law firm of Jones, Waldo, Holbrook &
McDonough where he enjoyed practicing major business antitrust and First
Amendment litigation. In 1979, then Governor Scott Matheson appointed Dan to
the Utah Supreme Court where he served for 21 years. Justice Stewart brought
to the court a reflective and independent legal mind. He was known for the
powerful clarity of his writing, the enormous depth of his thought and legal
analysis, and colorful and sometimes strong language used in his opinions. His
fundamental belief in the rule of law many times resulted in passionate and
courageous dissents. Justice Stewart, Dan, Danny, Uncle Dangy, Grandpa Danny,
and Dad was an extraordinary man with a superior intellect, an iron will, a
keen interest in politics, economics, books, sports, fine art and natural
beauty. He dearly loved his wife, children, and grandchildren. He had an
innate sense of playfulness that connected him to his family. Dan had a
profound faith in God and a great love for his religion and for his religious
and family heritage. He spent many hours pondering and exploring the
fundamental tenets and nuances of his religious beliefs. Danny was a self made
man. He was a man of enormous will and inner strength who exhibited courageous
stoicism in the face of the most trying circumstances. He demonstrated
extraordinary independence, speaking for what he believed to be true
regardless of others' views. He had a profound work ethic and showed shear
determination in all undertakings from the agonizing death penalty cases he
was asked to decide to, at the end, simply breathing from hour to hour.
Despite his obstacles, Dan was charismatic and quick witted, an unparalleled
conversationalist, and was a man who could light up a room with his charm and
broad smile. He understood people and particularly those in special need, the
disenfranchised and those treated unfairly. Dan was accompanied in life by his
dear bride, Elizabeth, who devotedly stood by his side. She selflessly
attended to his needs and during the last few very hard years, provided
attentive and tireless care. Dan and the family appreciate the care Dan
received from physicians, family members, friends and aids over the last 10
years without which he and Elizabeth would not have survived. He is survived
by his darling wife, Elizabeth; his daughter, Liz Stewart Whitney, and her
husband, John Larson, and their children, Rebecca Elizabeth Whitney, Madeline
Ann Whitney, Elizabeth Larson, McCall Larson and Jack Larson, and daughter,
Shannon Stewart, and her husband, Matthew Clark, and their children, Eliza
Stewart Clark, Isaac Daniel Clark, and Amelia Stewart Clark; his sisters, Mary
Louise Holbrook, Caroline Madsen, Saundra Stewart, Geraldine Waterman; and
loving nieces and nephews. Dan has finally been released and we rejoice in his
new found freedom. He is received by his mother, father, and siblings. Run
