Cook, Morgan Taylor Morgan Taylor Cook, aged 10 years and 9 months, died at home August 3, 2005, of causes incident to cancer of the brain. He had valiantly battled the deadly disease for two years and was widely known and admired among Utah County cancer survivors. He is the son of Jared and Wendy Cook of Highland, Utah. Morgan was born October 22, 1994, in American Fork, where he attended Pumpkin Patch Pre-School. He subsequently attended grades K-4 at Highland Elementary and played T-Ball, Junior Jazz basketball, and Soccer on Highland's city teams. He was a student and participant at Kenpo Karate of Lehi. But his first love was horses. He lived and breathed all things horse: horsemanship, horse-riding, horse breeds, horse care, and books about horses. As a toddler he developed an affection for his dad's mare, "Nikki," and later he was fortunate enough to have a horse of his own that he named "Copper." Morgan participated at "Courage Reigns," a therapeutic equestrian facility in Highland, and "Run-Wild Rodeo Association," a junior rodeo series in Mount Pleasant and Fairview, Utah. His second love was his two dogs: "Harley" and "Rosie" were among his best friends. Morgan also enjoyed camping, 4-wheeling, playing with his younger sisters, riding his bike, playing "Uno" and Play Station, and collecting stuffed animals. Morgan was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was baptized in December 2002 and was a Cub Scout. Morgan is survived by his parents, Jared Kingsbury Cook and Wendy Joy Kling Cook; two sisters, Bailey Marie Cook and Cortney Ann Cook; three sets of grandparents: Lyndon W. and Margaret A.

Eatough, Mary Clare Erickson Mary Clare Erickson Eatough, born in Salt Lake City on March 23, 1916, died of a heart attack on Saturday, July 30, 2005 at Timpanogos Hospital in Orem, Utah. Mrs. Eatough graduated from East High School in Salt Lake City, and the University of Utah, where she majored in bacteriology and pathology. She worked in laboratories for Holy Cross Hospital, the University of Utah and Cloverleaf Dairy. Her first of several missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was to the East Central States, beginning in 1939. On June 16, 1941, ten weeks after returning from her mission, she married G. Watson Eatough. The couple lived in Bremerton, Washington where they had daughters Randy (Nelson) and Carolee (Lowry), and then moved to American Fork, Utah, where son Gregory Eatough and daughter Margo (Spencer) were born. The Eatoughs lived in American Fork until 2004. Mary taught piano lessons for 25 years. Her hobbies included needlepoint, interior decorating, and family history. Mary became interested in oil painting when she took her widowed mother to art classes, hoping to find her a hobby. Her landscapes, seascapes and portraits have been placed in homes throughout the United States, in the Provo LDS Temple, and one was displayed at the Utah Governor s Mansion. Mary won numerous awards for her painting and had several private showings of her collected works. She was a regular exhibitor at the Utah Pageant of the Arts at the American Fork Steel Days. She donated paintings to local charitable organizations and schools. She taught painting classes to many members of the American Fork community as well as her own children and grandchildren. Nothing delighted her more than seeing the thrill of accomplishment in the lives of her students and friends. Many of her grandchildren inherited her artistic ability and at least three have college degrees in art or design-related fields. The inspiration for many of her masterpieces came from her travels around the world. During her life, Mary visited at least 45 of the 50 United States and traveled to at least 26 foreign countries. Mary was incredibly proud of her family. She is survived by husband Watson Eatough, her four children, 19 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren. She once wrote, "Nothing makes us happier than to know that our children and grandchildren are happy and keeping the commandments of the Lord and all love each other and us. We certainly love all of them."

Lofgreen, Cuba Michie Cuba Michie Lofgreen passed from this life on Thursday, August 4, 2005 due to causes incident to age. We are sure she now resides in the special place the Lord reserves for wonderful grandmothers. Cuba was born in Tabiona, Utah to Marvin Robert and Orpha Wagstaff Michie on April 11, 1921. She was raised a country girl in country ways, the oldest daughter in a family of six children. As a farmers s daughter, she learned the value of work, the value of love, and above all, the value of being a good mother and grandmother. She was married to Paul E. Lofgreen on November 7, 1950. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple. She and Paul are the parents of four children: Paul E. Lofgreen, Jr. of Las Vegas, Nevada; Anita Lofgreen of West Valley City, Utah; Paula (Milo) Wilkins of Magna, Utah; and Fran (Terry) Jones of Spanish Fork, Utah. Cuba was an active member of the LDS Church, and enjoyed her service and activities in Relief Society the very most. She was also very active in the American Legion Auxiliary, serving in many leadership positions on the local and region level, supporting her husband all the way through his service as State Commander. Cuba became a world traveler after Paul retired and they became the Tour Directors for the Spanish Fork Senior Citizens, a post they held for eleven years. They led their many friends all over the state, country, continent, and the world. She also worked in a variety of jobs outside the home, but her truest calling and highest skills were those of a grandmother. Her seven grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren will certainly miss her the most. Cuba is survived by her husband; her children; grandchildren and great-grandchildren; two brothers, Marvin T. Michie and Robert Michie; and two sisters, Enid Hall and Amber Carter. She was preceded in death by her parents; and one brother, Lyle Michie. Her family offers a special thanks and tribute to the staff and residents of Spanish Fork Nursing and Rehab where she resided in her waning months. Their kindness and care were exceptional.
