Andrews, Doris E.
Doris E. Andrews 11/21/21 ~ 4/28/05 Doris Edna Andrews left this earth on
April 28, 2005 to join her Heavenly Father. She will at last rest peacefully.
She was born in Salt Lake City on November 21, 1921 to Frank and Anna Wilson.
During her lifetime, Doris was devoted to many things - most notably, animal
rights and the care of her own beloved felines. She was also deeply religious,
having embraced the Catholic faith later in life. She had attended the
Julliard School of Music in New York City, and opera was a lifelong passion of
hers. After her return from New York, she married Kenneth Andrews, who
preceded her in death in 1961. Additionally, she is preceded in death by her
parents; brother, Dick Wilson; and daughter, Janet Andrews. She is survived by
daughter Margo Andrews, as well as nephews Brent and Mark Wilson and their
families. Margo would like to extend her deep gratitude to Dr. Frederic
Gottlieb, Dr. Stephen Fehlauer, Hearts for Hospice, and the exceptional staff
of Silverado Senior Living, most especially Doris' beloved Patrick. She would
also like to thank her patient friends and colleagues, Reverend Monsignor M.
Francis Mannion, and a special thank you to an angel of a caregiver, Judy
Helf. In lieu of flowers, friends may make donations to Best Friends Animal
Sanctuary, www.bestfriends.org, or St. Vincent's Parish,

annual Memory Walk (www.alz.org). And once a year, read Thornton Wilder's Our
Town to help you remember how remarkable the ordinary moments of our lives
truly are. "I'll miss you, Mama D."

energy, strength of character and remarkable ability to rise above adversity.
Sets will be missed and remembered by many. Sets was born in San Francisco on
January 2, 1931 to Fumiko and Yoshio Saito. She graduated from the University
of California in Berkeley with a degree in education and received her master's
degree at Eastern Michigan. Sets was a teacher early in her career but towards
the end of her career she worked as a real estate agent at Coldwell Banker, as
well as Prudential. The center of Sets' personal life was her husband of 49
years, Bill; their three children, Shirley Ann (Washington DC), Robert (San
Diego, CA) and John (Salt Lake City); and four grandchildren, Bill, Adele,
Tace and Rayna. Surviving siblings are Alfred Saito (Los Altos, CA) and
Kathleen Yuille (Milwaukee, WI). Preceding Sets in death were son Kenneth, and
brothers Yoshiro and Fred. Sets met Bill for the first time as children while
interned in a World War II Japanese American relocation camp in Heart
Mountain, Wyoming. Years later, they bumped into each other, unexpectedly, at
the front steps of the University of California at Berkeley, and after a few
dates they married in 1956 (Bill wanted to marry after the first date but, as
a matter of principle, she made him wait). They moved from California to
Wisconsin, and to Michigan, before settling in Utah where Bill accepted a
position as Chairman of the Department of Pharmaceutics at the University of
Utah. Sets was a risk taker and fighter (she battled pancreatic cancer in
every possible way to the very end) and she encouraged others to plan ahead
for their future. Sets, living modestly for much of her life, sacrificed a
great deal to make the world a better place for her family and friends. For
example, being a teacher Sets was an adamant supporter of her children and
grandchildren's education. In addition, Sets did many of the "little big
things" ranging from taking her family to University of Michigan football
games, to hosting events for her husband and children, and (in gourmet
fashion) cleaning and cooking the many fish caught by Bill and Billy
(grandson) in the streams in Provo and Big Cottonwood canyons. Sets encouraged
Bill to expand his extensive research activities into entrepreneurial
ventures, leading to his participation in several life science start-up
companies. She was involved in various community projects since retirement and
made numerous donations with Bill to many organizations, including The
University of Utah. Most recently she was an active board member of the Heart
Mountain Foundation and helped organize their national reunion in Salt Lake
City in 2002. Sets enjoyed traveling (she was very fond of visiting her
ancestral Japan and its neighboring countries), particularly with her family.
She enjoyed touring and walking around the Utah mountains, and gardening.
Sets' true love and talent was in fashion and interior design that she shared
enthusiastically with her daughter, Shirley, and sister, Kathy. Sets' friends
and acquaintances are from across the world. Sets often entertained Bill's
graduate students (from the respective Departments of Pharmaceutics at the
University of Utah and the University of Michigan) and colleagues in academia
and industry, all of whom enjoyed her unique warmth and hospitality. A
memorial service will be held to celebrate Sets' life at Larkin Mortuary, 260
East South Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84111 on Saturday, May 14th from 4-5:30
p.m. In lieu of flowers or gifts, Sets requested that contributions be made to
Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation, P.O. Box 547, Powell, WY 82435. On line

Koncurat, Germaine Marie Francoise Ista
Germaine Marie Francoise Ista Koncurat 1913 ~ 2005 Germaine I. Koncurat, age
92, passed away Thursday April 28, 2005 at the Wentworth at Draper where she
had been living for the past four months. The cause of death was an aneurism.
She was born March 21, 1913 in Seraing, Belgium to Leopold Jean Joseph Ista
and Francoise Josephine Rulkin. She was the oldest of three children (two
girls and one boy.) In February, 1924, she, her brother and mother were
baptized in the River Meuse. She lived both in Belgium and in France. She
married Marko (Marc) Koncurat on August 21, 1937. Together they struggled
during World War II when bomb scares and air raids were all too common. Food
was rationed and milk for babies was scarce. They survived the bombing of
their home and many other hardships. Germaine had many church callings, which
included Primary presidency in both the branch and district. She was a real
leader and a great example to many children. She even conducted neighborhood
"primary" meetings, which were attended by many. She had a natural talent for
poetry. She has written many French poems which she published in her book of
remembrance. She was an avid genealogist and has done extensive research
including name extraction. She also served as a Cub Scout den mother. It had
always been her dream to come to America and be sealed to her husband and to
their four children in the temple of God. They also wanted to raise their
children in an LDS environment. In May of 1953 after trying for about five
years, they were finally able to obtain visas and come to America. They had
sold most of their belongings and made the trip, which took about three weeks
and included 14 days to cross the Atlantic and a 2,200-mile drive in a 1937
Pontiac with a former missionary couple. On March 4, 1954, her dream was
finally realized. Germaine has lived both in Draper and in Sandy. She has been
an inspiration to many as she has borne a strong testimony of Jesus Christ and
of the restoration of the Gospel in the latter days. She is survived by her
sister, Josette (Jean) Pirlot, Belgium; a daughter, Emmanuella (Dennis)
Overstreet, Draper, UT; Pierre (Sharon) Koncurat, Devon, PA; Joseph Koncurat,
Kearns, UT; and Jacques (Monique) Koncurat, Sandy, UT; as well as 19
grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and two, soon to be born, great
