brother, grandpa, and outstanding pilot, genealogist, teacher, writer and
historian died peacefully at his home in Orem, Utah, on 14 February 2005, of

caring family. Lowell was born on 18 February 1922, in Bancroft, Idaho, the
second child of Joseph C. and Myrtle E. Call. He grew up as a farm boy in
Bancroft, Idaho, and graduated from North Gem High School. He had a passion
for airplanes and flying and pursued his interest through the Army Air Corps
program and earned his "silver wings" in February 1945. While in training at
Burbank, California, he proposed to his high school sweetheart, Carolyn
Johnson, via the mail, drove home when she accepted, married her in the Logan

She was born in Benjamin, Utah on August 22, 1917 to George and Hannah Hansen
Swenson. She was the 3rd child and oldest daughter of 11 children. She grew up
on the farm in Benjamin and in Spanish Fork. She was introduced to hard work
at an early age helping to tend to sugar beets and other crops as well as
helping in the house, tending her younger siblings. She was very proud of her
ancestry and had many stories to tell of her Mormon Pioneer grandparents as
well as her large family growing up on the farm. Margaret graduated from
Spanish Fork High School, where she enjoyed being in the operetta's. She
married her high school sweetheart, C.R. Mitchell in the Salt Lake Temple on
November 25, 1935. To this union were born three children. In the early years
of her marriage, Margaret worked at the Del Monte Cannery and in the school
lunch program in Spanish Fork. As her family grew she devoted herself to her
home and children as a full time homemaker. She was a good "scratch" cook. She
was known for her delicious potato salads and for her large pan of brownies
with fudge frosting. At Christmas there was a counter filled with decorated
sugar cookies for the grandchildren and to give away. Margaret enjoyed
hunting, fishing, and camping with her husband Mitch, their many friends and
family. She rode the horse or hiked the hill carrying her own rifle. She shot
deer, moose, and antelope to make her husband proud of her. She spent hours on
the lake fishing at Yellowstone, or at Lake Powell exploring and water skiing.
She was supportive of whatever Mitch took up, whether square dancing, boat
racing, snowmobiling, building cabins or business pursuits. She always tried
to keep up with him, and often succeeded. Together, Margaret and Mitch enjoyed
the outdoors, always heading somewhere in an RV, and explored most of the US.
There were many trips to foreign countries. One highlight was their visit to
the Holy Land. In retirement years Margaret and Mitch spent their winters in
Sun City, Arizona where they made many new friends and fun memories. Margaret
also enjoyed painting ceramics. She made many Christmas decorations and
painted ceramic dolls. She enjoyed collecting dolls. She was able to see the
needs of elderly relative and friends as will as harried young mothers and she
responded to those needs in her own quiet way. She loved babies, her own
grandchildren as well as stranger in the store. She was always loving, gentle
and kind to children. Margaret was active in the Daughter's of the Utah
Pioneers for many years. She was also active in the American Legion Auxiliary,
serving a term as President of that organization. She went to Utah Girl's
State for many summers serving as a counselor there. She served in PTA. She
was active in a club of friends she had known since high school and enjoyed
their monthly club activities. Margaret was a faithful member of the LDS
church. She served wherever she was asked, doing whatever was needed. Some
favorite callings were in the YWMIA presidency in the Spanish Fork 13th ward.
She made lifelong friendships with those women with whom she served. She was
fun at Girl's camp, always a good sport. Another favorite calling was teaching
the Guide Patrol (11-12 year old) Scouts. She served as a Scout Leader nearly
20 years. Margaret remembered her scouts fondly and was tickled if a grown man
stopped her on the street to recall the years she influenced him as a Scouter.
Margaret and Mitch enjoyed serving together in the Jacksonville, Florida.
Mission in 1986-1987. The work they did together on their mission was
important to both of them. She was happy to tell about the people they taught
as well as the young elders they influenced. Margaret is survived by her

(Pat) Mitchell, and Colette (Don) Warner. She is also survived by her brothers

her applesauce cakes, popcorn cakes, sweet cinnamon rolls and fantastic hot
bread. Her children and the neighbor children could smell it a mile away. They
would quit playing just to come enjoy a slice of her bread. It never mattered
to her whether you were a friend, neighbor, or grandchild, she had things to
share. She would give you a piece of dough then you could make your own little
loaf. Edna also loved her garden. She was an avid gardener and was always
giving starter plants away. Edna is survived by her loving daughters, Elsie

seven brothers and sisters, three grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
Edna loved her children. She was thankful for her daughters' loving and
unselfish care in her later years. Grandma will be missed terribly by her
family, but we find sweet peace and happiness in the knowledge that she is now
reunited with her much loved parents, husband, sons, and family members.
