Brummett, H. Robert
H. Robert Brummett, 83, slipped peacefully from this life on Saturday,
December 11, 2004, due to pneumonia and its complications. Bob was born June
22, 1921, in San Mateo, California, and was adopted as a newborn by Hiram
Burton and Elizabeth Hansen Brummett. He lived with his parents and his
sisters, Helene and Bette, in the San Francisco Bay area until his mission for
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Eastern States Mission,
followed immediately by service in the U.S. Army during WW II. He married
Mildred Leon Mason on July 13, 1945, in Lexington, Kentucky, and their
marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake City Temple as the couple traveled
back to California, following Bob's return from the Philippines. Bob earned a
bachelor's degree from San Francisco State and a master's degree from the
University of California - Berkeley. He taught junior and senior high school
mathematics in Angels Camp, and then Santa Rosa, California for 30 years and
never stopped valuing education. Bob and Mildred are the parents of five
children: Linda, of Provo; Barbara (Ted) Anderson, of Peoria, Arizona; Rebecca
(Mark) Garrett, of Hurricane; Patricia (Ron) Williams, of Ocean Shores,
Washington; John (Margie), of Lehi. He is survived by his sister, Bette
(Chuck) Dean, of Visalia, California; all five children, 14 grandchildren, and
10 great-grandchildren. His loving wife, Mildred, died on October 5, 1998. His
parents and his sister, Helene (Newell) Christensen, also preceded him in
death. The joy of Bob's life was his abiding testimony of the restored gospel
of Jesus Christ and serving diligently in many church callings. Following his
retirement, Bob and Mildred moved to Orem, Utah, and he found great
satisfaction serving as an ordinance worker and supervisor in the Provo and
Mount Timpanogos Temples. Throughout his life, he was a devoted member of his
wards' choirs. Funeral services, under the direction of the Walker Sanderson
Funeral Home of Orem, will be held Tuesday, December 14, 2004, at 11 a.m., in
the Vermont First Ward Chapel, 400 North and 400 East, Orem. Friends may call

the Orem City Cemetery with full Military Rites. Bob's children especially
want to thank the staff and residents of Summerfield Manor in Orem where he
was strengthened by their friendship and care, and to thank his kind
physician, Dr. Paul Reay. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests hugging your
children, taking them to see some Christmas lights, and making a donation to
the Perpetual Education Fund of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. Condolences may be sent to the family at:
