Clayton, Olita Melville
Olita Melville Clayton 1902 ~ 2005 On March 6, 2005, East Millcreek lost one
of its oldest and most respected women, Olita Melville Clayton, who died at
the age of 102 of causes related to her advanced age. Over 100 descendants and
their spouses attended her 100th birthday party two and a half years ago,
honoring her many achievements. Olita Melville was born in Filmore, Utah in
1902. Her father, James Alexander Melville, was a prominent attorney in
Millard County and later in Salt Lake City. She graduated from the University
of Utah, spent a year at UCLA, went on a LDS mission to the Eastern States,
and traveled extensively in Europe and the Middle East over the years. Olita
married Ernest C. Clayton in 1930 and they began their lives together in
Pleasant Grove, Utah. Times were hard. At one point the couple could not
afford to go to a movie because it cost 25 each! He was a teacher, an
educational administrator, and part-time farmer. He died at the age of 93.
Ernest and Olita had five children, all college graduates, and four of her
children served LDS missions as well. Olita's greatest passion was her
children whom she taught to maximize their natural abilities by getting a good
education and serving in the community. Deeply religious all of her life, she
emphasized ideals more than orthodoxy, acceptance rather than exclusion, and
found a comfortable balance between faith and reason. She became an expert on
Paul the Apostle, giving scores of speeches on his life in local LDS wards,
and following in Paul's footsteps, even into the remotest parts of Turkey.
Later in her life she wrote a book on Paul's teachings and travels. She and
Ernest also served a second mission in Kentucky and Tennessee. Olita read
widely in English literature, particularly Shakespeare and Dickens. She also
knew several of the Greek dramatists, and once directed a Greek play at
sunrise in her back yard on Connor Street. Always learning, she took private
piano lessons when she was well into her nineties. In fact, she lived in the
home she and her husband built in 1939, alone after Ernest died, until she was
99, and often could be found typing up notes- she could type as fast as a
person could talk- when visitors called. Her final years were spent under the
excellent care of Connie Rodarte. Olita had an engaging smile, a capacious
memory, and always dressed with an understated touch of class (a little bit of
lace goes a long way in East Millcreek.) Conversation was generally focused on
religion or literature in her home, with little hint of either political
correctness or the ultra conservatism that is typical of this state. Over the
years she was in several book groups, and as the members aged and passed on
she would move to another, younger one. These contacts and her lectures on
Paul made her widely known in her community. Life was good to Olita- not in
monetary terms, but in spiritual and intellectual ways. So good, in fact, that
she almost forgot to die. Olita Melville Clayton is survived by her loving
children: James L (Gerrie) Clayton, Connie (Frank) Madsen, Elwood M. (Leica)
Clayton, Richard M. (Vicki) Clayton. A daughter, Bea Brown, died in 1989.
Funeral services for Olita will be held on Monday, March 14, 2005, at 11:00
a.m., at the Garden Heights Ward, 2220 East Fisher Lane (2935 South). Friends
may call on Sunday evening from 6-8 p.m. at the Holbrook Mortuary, 3251 South
2300 East, and again at the church on Monday from 9:45-10:45 a.m. prior to the
services. Interment: Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park. Condolences may be sent to
the family at www.holbrookmortuary.com.

Menlove, Nancy Lant
Nancy Lant Menlove "The Sunshine Lady" 1928 ~ 2005 Our beloved wife, mother,
sister, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, Nancy Lant Menlove, passed
away peacefully at age 77 on March 9, 2005. Nancy was born March 5, 1928 in
Bellingham, Washington. With a birth weight of only 2 lbs. 14 oz., doctors
told her parents, John Tanner Lant and Elizabeth Charlotte Lant, not to plan
on taking their new baby home. How wrong those doctors were. A self-described
scrapper as a child, she grew to be a tall, vivacious woman with an easy
laugh, a constant twinkle, and an indomitable positive attitude. Nancy grew up
in Payson, Utah. She graduated from Payson High where she was class president
and starred in numerous community and school plays. Her love of drama stayed
with her through life as she wrote and directed award-winning road shows and
musical productions and was often called on to write and deliver tributes for
friends and relatives. In 1947, while she was working as a soda jerk at
Daniel's Drug Store, Nancy met a handsome young man named Max L. Menlove. The
two were married May 8, 1948 and have been at one another's side ever since.
They were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple in 1957.
Nancy loved life. She was devoted to her family and her many "best" friends of
all ages. She was an accomplished writer, authoring several children's books
and a talented tole painter. She had an uncanny knack for picking up the phone
just when someone most needed a listening ear or a word of encouragement. She
once wrote a list of things she enjoyed: sunsets, the first snow storm, the
changing of the season, a bonfire, singing in a Christmas choir, good books,
walking in the rain, beautiful reflections upon a lake, autumn leaves, roses
in bloom, little children, sausage egg and cheese biscuits, warm bread and
jam, most fattening foods, visits from the family, laughter, a surprise card
or letter from a friend, a good bargain, thoughtful people, old folks, trips
in the motor home, visiting the children, swimming, swimming, swimming, a good
movie, cancelled meetings, games - especially when I win, being right, lunch
with someone I love, good music, sharing success with the family, being needed
and loved, all of the wonderful surprises that life continually provides,
holidays - especially Christmas, and most of all family. Nancy is survived by
her husband; sister Leeta Wilson; seven children: Susan (David) Pugh of
Issaquah, WA; Peggy Walker of Newbury Park, CA; Douglas Menlove of Morgantown,
WV; Mark (Dana) of Boise, ID; Gary Menlove of Salt Lake City, UT; Sharla
(Michael) Chador of Sacramento, CA; Angela Menlove of Salt Lake City, UT; 14
grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held
