Bradshaw, Karen Louise Lee
Karen Louise Lee Bradshaw 1933 ~ 2005 Separated for a moment Karen Louise Lee
Bradshaw died in Salt Lake City on Easter Sunday, March 27, 2005 after a long
struggle with Alzheimer's disease. She was born in Logan, UT on December 12,
1933 to Lawrence and Donna Benson Lee. Her mother said that Karen was a very
happy and cheerful child with a quick and active mind. She exhibited this
cheerfulness throughout her life even during her mental decline. Karen's
growing years were spent in small towns of Southern Idaho, Western Wyoming and
Northern Utah as her father looked for a small farm to supplement his high
school music-teaching career. The family eventually settled in Vernal, UT
where Karen graduated from Uintah High School in 1951. Karen entered the
University of Utah that year, and met Jerald Sherwin Bradshaw, her soul mate
and eternal companion, in the high-stepping U of U marching band. She
transferred to Utah State University and graduated in Elementary Education,
before her marriage to Jerald in the Logan LDS Temple on August 6, 1954. She
taught first-grade or kindergarten in 1954 - 1957 in Salt Lake City, in
Alameda, CA and in Washington, DC. After Jerald finished a tour of duty in the
US Navy in 1959, Karen and Jerald moved to Southern California for Jerald's
graduate education at UCLA. Karen earned a Master's degree in Elementary
Education with a minor in Library Science at UC Berkeley in 1966. (Karen was
thrilled when her granddaughter, Karen Webster, became a student at Berkeley
in 2002.) The family moved to Provo in 1966 when Jerald joined the Chemistry
Faculty at the Brigham Young University. Karen became a superb homemaker in
her home on Oak Lane so that everyone in the family called her "Mrs. America."
She delighted in preparing gourmet meals for two, four or 20 people. For over
25 years, she prepared a special Sunday evening dinner every week for all her
family including her mother and all her nephews attending BYU. Often, children
and grandchildren of other relatives joined these festive times. Karen also
loved to prepare yearly gourmet meals for members of Jerald's research group
and their partners. Those dinners were much enjoyed by the young BYU students.
Karen became one of the most accomplished quilters in Utah Valley. All members
of her extended family and friends of her daughters are enjoying that "special
quilt" which Karen made especially for them. She started quilting in 1955 when
Jerald was aboard ship in the Pacific. Their apartment at UCLA during the 1959
- 1962 years was so small that they opened the front door and crawled under
the quilt in progress to enter their front room. Three of Karen's quilts
earned high honors - "Best of the Show" and "Blue Ribbon" at the Utah State
Fair and "Best of the Show" at the Utah County Fair. Karen also created many
pieces of art and jewelry for friends and family over the years. She painted
beautiful ceramic Nativity figures for herself and her siblings along with a
50-piece Christmas village that she enjoyed each Christmas season. Karen
enjoyed traveling to chemistry meetings and universities throughout the world
with her husband. Their travels took them to Ljubljana, Slovenia; Sheffield,
England; and Townsville, Australia for extended stays while on Sabbatical
leaves. Their daughters and granddaughters accompanied them on many of their
travels. They traveled extensively through Europe, Israel, Japan, China, New
Zealand and Australia. Karen would read travel books on the places they would
be going so she could see all the interesting sites while Jerald was busy
lecturing. Even though she enjoyed all her trips, she always said the best
part of traveling was entering Utah Valley on the way home. Activity in the
LDS Church was the most important part of Karen's life. She was particularly
active in Relief Society especially in the homemaking area. She was ward
homemaking counselor or work director in nearly every ward in which she lived.
She was Ward Relief Society President twice and Stake Homemaking Counselor for
five years. She greatly enjoyed working with the women of the wards and stake.
Karen is survived by her husband, Jerald, daughters Donna Maree Webster of
West Jordan and Melinda Caroline Waterman of Salt Lake City, granddaughters
Karen Marlene Webster of Berkeley, CA and Amber Melinda Webster of West
Jordan; her brother Lawrence B. Lee and his wife Marilyn, of Orem, sister
Patricia Fae Russell and her husband Bob, of St. George, and brother-in-law
Larry Hartman and his wife Diane of Springville, and by many members of her
extended Lee and Bradshaw families. She was preceded in death by her parents,
sister Zetta Hartman and niece Ticia Lauri Hartman. The Bradshaw family wishes
to thank the capable and caring medical staff at CareSource for their loving
care of our beloved wife and mother. Funeral services for Karen will be held
on Thursday, March 31, 2005 at 3:00 p.m. at the Oak Hills Fourth Ward Chapel,
925 E. North Temple Drive, Provo, UT. A viewing will be held Wednesday, 6-8

Peterson, Marvin G.
Marvin G. Peterson 1928 ~ 2005 RICHFIELD, UTAH - Marvin G. Peterson, 76,
passed away March 24, 2005 in Juab County from injuries sustained in a
automobile accident. Marvin was born December 9, 1928 in Glenwood, Utah to
Marlin Magregor and Viola Lucinda Staples Peterson. He married Olive Ethel
Taft on July 9, 1949 in Salt Lake City, Utah, the marriage was solemnized in
the Manti Temple on August 14, 2004. Marvin's life of service started early,
as he was the oldest boy in a family of seven that lost their father
prematurely. He and the other older children were left with the responsibility
of providing for the welfare of the family. That gift of love will not be
forgotten by all of the Peterson generation now and in the future. Marvin was
dedicated to the Mountain Bell Telephone Company. He was known as "The
Telephone Man" and installed telephones in most of the homes in Sevier, Piute
and Wayne Counties before his retirement in the early 80's. He and his
brother, Owen, truly did "light up our lives" as they wired and lit most of
the homes in the family. Marvin found his greatest joy helping family and
friends roof a home or wire a basement. Few, if any people were able to re-pay
Marvin for the service he gave them freely. His love of service for others was
only matched by his unconditional love of his family. He left his sons and
families an example of honesty and character for them to follow in life. We
love you and will look to your example for help in times of need. Marvin was
preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Clair and Owen; brother-in-law,
Archie Brown and great-granddaughter, Tylie Ann Peterson. His survivors
include his wife, Ethel of Richfield; sons, Marvin Kim (Peggy) of Central
Valley, Russell (Carol) of Annabella, Randal (Shelli) of Glenwood and Kurtley
