Wilcox, LeRoy Clark LeRoy Clark Wilcox On August 2, 2005, LeRoy Clark Wilcox, 96, passed away in the home of his daughter MaryEllen, surrounded by his family. LeRoy was born June 10, 1909, in Garland, Utah, son of Oliver LeRoy Wilcox and Lucy Evaline Clark. As a very young boy he learned the virtue of hard work as a newspaper delivery boy and on his family's farm, where he could top sugar beets faster than adult men because he was lower to the ground. Appropriately, he graduated from Jordan High School, a true Beetdigger. His mother taught her children the importance of a good education, and LeRoy put himself through college at the University of Utah during the worst days of the Great Depression, obtaining a Bachelor s and eventually a Master s degree in drama. He met Letha Linford when she was a cast member in a play he was directing, and they were married on August 10, 1935. He taught drama in several Utah and Idaho high schools until an opportunity arose to enter the Air Force ROTC at BYU. When the U.S. entered World War II in 1941, LeRoy was sent to England where he served in the 381st Bomber Group as personnel officer. At the end of the war, he worked for a short time as an elementary school principal before returning to complete a career in the Air Force, retiring as a Lt. Col in 1966. LeRoy subsequently obtained a Doctorate in Education at BYU, and for 20 years he volunteered in Mrs. Madsen s elementary class teaching her students to make marionettes and putting on puppet shows with them. With his grandchildren operating marionettes, he put on many puppet shows in public libraries and parks in the Provo/Orem area. LeRoy also returned to his first love, drama, appearing in numerous plays at the Valley Center Playhouse in Lindon, Utah. For several years he played Scrooge in their adaptation of A Christmas Carol, though playing a stingy man was contrary to the nature of this supremely generous man. LeRoy was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving a mission in the Southern States in 1928, and a second mission with his wife in the Texas San Antonio Mission. He also served as a Bishop of wards in Great Falls, Montana and Marietta, Georgia, and as a branch president in the Patchogue Branch on Long Island, New York. Three of his children served missions, and more than 20 of his grandchildren have also served missions. LeRoy and Letha served for many years in the Provo Temple; his daughter Karla and her husband Gene are currently serving in the Nauvoo Temple, and his son-in-law Graham Ambrose serves in the Jordan River Temple. LeRoy is survived by his children: Sharlene (Earl) Mortensen; Jerry (Gloria) Wilcox; Karla (Gene) Gammon; Keith (Tracey) Wilcox; MaryEllen (Robert) Loveridge; and Lynette (Graham) Ambrose; and by two sisters, Lucile and Roxey; brother, Glen, and sister-in-law, Julia. Also surviving are 55 grandchildren and 98 great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, August 10, 2005, at 11 a.m. in the Orem 5th Ward Chapel, 50 S. 800 East, Orem, Utah.
