Judkins, Bary "BJ"
Bary Judkins "BJ" Bary Judkins passed away at home on March 24, 2005
surrounded by family and loved ones after a valiant battle with lung cancer.
Bary was born on April 11, 1937 to Reed and Roselle Stewart Judkins. He was a
beloved father, son, brother, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. He is
a member of the LDS church. He attended East High School where he excelled in
sports and helped his team to three football championships and two track
championships. He was state champion in the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard run
and set records in those events that stood for years. He then attended the
University of Utah where he played football. Bary learned early his work ethic
and began working in the family drapery and window covering business at the
age of 13. He continued there for 40 years. His two son, Jerry and Jay have
followed in his footsteps and now have their own window covering business. He
was a consummate salesman and it has been said that he could sell a drowning
man water. He married Gwen Peterson with whom he had nine children, they were
later divorced. His children have been a source of great pride and enjoyment
throughout his life. He nurtured a warm friendship with his children and
enjoyed many good years spending time with them. He later married Tammy
Nielsen, a loving and doting second mom to his large family. Tammy has truly
been his soul mate and has shared his passion for hunting and the outdoors.
They have been known to argue about who is the better shot with a deer rifle.
The jury is still out on that one. Christmas parties at Bary and Tammy's house
were perhaps the highlight of the year and a wonderful time to gather family.
Parties were always happy, noisy and full of laughter. He loved sports and
coached his sons in their long and successful sports careers. He was a
passionate coach and was known for his not so subtle hand signals in little
league baseball, his vocal support in basketball, and for teaching his sons to
play with legendary skill and intensity. Two of his sons, Jeff and Jon
currently coach basketball at the college level. He loved hunting, boating,
and spending time at "the ranch" with his family and friends. He could fix and
build anything and enjoyed projects of all kinds. He also enjoyed regular
Tuesday morning breakfasts with his sons and coffee just about every day with
his "coffee buds". He had a magical way with a story and could always fill a
room with laughter. Though he tried, he never could make a long story short.
Bary is preceded in death by his father Reed Judkins and his infant daughter
Jennifer. He is survived by his loving wife of 23 years, Tammy Nielsen
Judkins, his mother Roselle Judkins, siblings Joan Varanes (Lou), Kent Judkins
(Pat), Jean "Teeny" Bentley (Frank), Jill Judkins and Ren Judkins (Lani); his
children Jeff Judkins (Mary Kay), Jerry Judkins (Karen), Jay Judkins (Diane),

Miller, Joseph H.
Joseph H. Miller 1914 ~ 2005 On Thursday evening, February 24, 2005, our
father Joseph H. Miller passed from this world. He was residing with our
mother Marion O'Malley Miller, his wife of 66 years, in Bellevue, WA. He died
peacefully after suffering a fall earlier that day. He is survived by Mom and
all seven children: Joseph Miller of San Juan Island, WA; Marilee Kapsa of San
Diego, CA; Susan Wade of San Francisco, CA; John Miller of New York City, NY;
Melanie Miller of Seattle, WA; Betsy Smith of Bellevue, WA; Monica Miller of
Malden Bridge, NY; and his twelve grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his brother Robert F. Miller of Portland, Oregon.
Dad was born on August 9, 1914 to Edith Fryling Miller and Joseph Henry
(Harry) Miller in Butte, Montana. His family moved to Salt Lake City to start
a hat store (later known as Norm Sims) in Salt Lake City where he and his
brother grew up. They loved playing baseball, horseshoes and going fishing. He
attended elementary school in the basement of the Cathedral of the Madeline
and high school at Judge Memorial. After graduation, Dad attended St Joseph's
Seminary in Mountain View, CA. His studies abruptly ended during the
depression when his dad Harry died and he returned to Utah to take care of his
mother and brother. He met our mom, Marion Howard O'Malley, on a blind date
with their good friends Jack and Betty Maher. He and Mom fell in love and were
married on June 27, 1938. For 43 years Dad was a traveling salesman, in the
early days driving the blue highways of Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and
Colorado, and later covering only Utah and south Idaho, to meet with buyers
from the small town mercantile establishments presenting his Jantzen line of
swimsuits, wool sweaters, skirts, and general sports wear. He always
maintained an office in downtown Salt Lake for the showing of Jantzen's new
lines. He organized, with ZCMI, the annual fashion show, The Jantzen Jamboree,
in the 50's and 60's that featured local modeling talent. Dad loved his work,
loved getting on the road. He also loved working a fly for trout on the beaver
dams above Fish Lake or the high lakes of the Uintahs. And most of all he
loved to ski and most winter weekends he spent with Mom and the kids on the
slopes of Brighton and Alta. We all learned to ski on hand-me-down wood skis
and most of us were avid racers. Dad also loved to water ski. His first boat
was called "Number Eight" as it came along after his seven children. His last
boat, "LingerLonger II", took Mom and Dad through the San Juan Islands of
Washington and the Gulf Islands of BC in the first 15 years of their
retirement. He was a devout Catholic and an active member of the Cathedral of
the Madeline. He had many beloved friends in Salt Lake City, and in Sun City
West, AZ, where he and Mom moved in 1986. He acquired friendship wherever he
went, from his clients and fellow Jantzen salesmen, to the many people he met
in his travels with Mom on their boat in the Northwest. Dad is deeply missed
by his family, the families of his brother Robert Miller, and those of Mom's
sister and brother, Elizabeth Stinson and the late Walter Lee O'Malley.
Goodbye, Dad. You are forever in our hearts. Donations in the memory of Joseph
H. Miller may be made to the Judge Memorial High School Legacy Campaign, 650

Ralphs, Thomas F.
Thomas F. Ralphs 1914 ~ 2005 A unique and wonderful man died the other day.
Thomas Farrell Ralphs, 90, died of natural causes on Friday, March 18 in his
home. Born May 28, 1914 in Salt Lake City to Ephraim Thomas and Lorraine
Farrell Ralphs. He was educated in Salt Lake and was a member of LDS High
School's last graduating class. He attended three universities but, true to
his nature, never bothered to graduate from any of them. In 1938, he married
Elizabeth Cannon, and they had four children. Tom was a World War II veteran,
serving as a Navy Lieutenant JG aboard an LST in the South Pacific. A very
successful businessman in Salt Lake, Tom was co-owner of Cannon Construction
for many years, and a Culligan Soft Water franchise owner for many more. In
his business life, he also owned car dealerships, parking lots and garages,
and finally, a computer company (though he knew nothing about computers). In
the 1950s and 60s, he was a prominent participant in dog shows throughout the
Intermountain West. His prized Samoyeds took home plenty of ribbons. Tom was a
curmudgeon to the very end but a lovable one. His wit was constant and
hilarious - quick one-liners and story after story after story. After story.
He never told a joke in his life, but loved hearing them. He fascinated
adults, but his funny faces and removing his false teeth made children squeal
with delight. Tom lived what he called a happy life of repetition. Others
called it a rut. For years, he lived the same way. Every day, for breakfast a
bowl of Cheerios; for lunch right at 12:15, another bowl of Cheerios; for
dinner, at precisely 6:30, a chicken dish; and at 8 p.m. exactly, a "dollop"
of bourbon. The routine never varied, except for Thursday nights when he would
go to dinner and drinks with his good friend, Ernie Muth. Tom was very
independent, never asking for (or really never needing) help of any kind. To
the day he died, he still lived alone, still drove every day, took a walk, and
every Sunday he finished the New York Times crossword puzzle. And he made
everyone in his world laugh. He is survived by two of his children, Roger
(Noriko), Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Lindsay (Shelley) of Oakland, California,
two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Preceded in death by his wife,
two children, Judy and Tim, and two sisters, Blanche Cannon and Ellie Thomas.
A memorial will be held Sat., April 2nd, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Anderson
Commons, 734 E. 200 So. In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation to the
University of Utah Hospital Body Donor Program, 20 North 19th East, Salt Lake
City, Utah 84132, Attention: Angela. Tom, you'll be missed. So until we meet
again . . . "Every minute's an hour."

around with his grandchildren. Working in his garden was a favorite pastime

for him, but he endured and never complained. He could always be found wearing

Wilder, Marci
Marci Wilder "Marci The Great" The most beautiful blue eyes, bright shining
smile, and huge spirit have moved from this existence to return to her Father
in Heaven and divine perfection. Marci Lee Wilder, also known as "Marci the
Great," freed herself from the confines of lung cancer on March 25, 2005. It's
difficult to tell Marci's story in this space, but here are a few important
things. Marci was born to Jay and Arline Wilder on January 25, 1964. She grew
up in Salt Lake City and earned her bachelor's degree in organizational
communications from the University of Utah. She was raised in the LDS faith
and was active for many years, serving in both Relief Society and Young
Women's. Marci is survived by legions who love her, including her parents Jay
and Arline, her partner Kris Liacopoulos, brother and sister-in-law, Tracy and
Natalie Wilder, and sisters and brothers-in-law, Jenny and Adam DeWaal, Annie
and Todd Storrs, and Allie and Trent Christensen. Trent, Nate, Braiden,
Parker, Brooke, Zac, Abby, Andrew and Alexis are the nephews and nieces Marci
loves so much! She also has many aunts, uncles and cousins who love her
dearly. She is preceded in death by her brother Brett Wilder, and her
grandparents. Marci spent the majority of her professional career at Fidelity
Investments. In her 15 years there, she made many close friends, and they can
laugh heartily at the memories she created in her time with them. Who else
could say "rock on chaka-khan!" and have it mean something? Marci stood for
courage and hope and she inspired many of us to step up and become greater
through her presence. Many shared her courage and hope to become cancer-free
and fought with her. These include the doctors and nurses at the Modern Health
Clinic, and many friends and family who worked on behalf of Marci to make this
path easier to travel. Many thanks go to generous friends, including Amie,
Kristy, Jen, Kimile, Kristen, and Pamela (or "Sugar" and "Buttercup"). We will
miss you so much Marci! We'll miss your brilliant smile that lit up the room,
your clear blue eyes that held so much love, your magnificent spirit and
personality that brought us joy and wisdom, and your amazing grace that taught
us so much. Rest well, sweetest sweetie! Funeral services will be held
Tuesday, March 29, 2005, at 11:00 a.m. at the Little Cottonwood 20th LDS Ward
Chapel, located at 1160 East Vine Street. A viewing will be held Monday, March
28th, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m., at Larkin Mortuary located at 260 East South
