She was born July 26, 1930, in Mildred, Montana, to James J. and Lorna Marietta Morrow, the youngest of 15 children. Her family moved to Utah in the early 40Õs and Doris attended Lincoln (Orem) High School, where she enjoyed playing the clarinet in the band and being an active member of the TigeretteÕs. She married her sweetheart, Glenn R. Bagley, on September 4, 1947, and they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on May 25, 1957. Early in her marriage, Doris worked at the Clark Clinic as a receptionist and bookkeeper. She and Glenn enjoyed working together; and, at one time, managed the old Timp Drive-In Movie Theater on State Street in Orem. Doris and Glenn made their home in the Provo/Orem area for most of their life. They worked in Saudi Arabia for 10 1/2 years while Glenn worked for Aramco; returning in September of 1989, when they built their current home in Provo. Doris had a second home in St. George, where she enjoyed the warmer winter months. Doris and Glenn decided to make St. George their permanent home. Shortly after completing their home, Doris became ill. Doris had a special talent of knitting and crocheting and many have been recipients of her beautiful handiwork. An active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Doris has served in all the auxiliaries and as Primary President, Young WomenÕs President several times, both here and in Saudi Arabia. Her service to the youth of the church blessed her with many wonderful friendships. There is no way to measure the influence she has had on so many young girls and women whom she has served. Doris was an energetic PTA President and a wonderful example of "going the extra mile". She and Glenn have accomplished much of their genealogy with their computer skills, doing histories and organizing photos for their children on CDÕs. She truly lived a life of service to her family, her church, and her many friends. Doris is survived by her husband, Glenn; and three children: Stephen (Janice) Bagley, Salt Lake; Teri (Brian) Howell, Spanish Fork; Kristine (Michael) Larsen, Puyallup, WA; 18 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; brother, Keith (Donna) Morrow, Carson City; NV; sister, Dorothy (Elmer) Biers, Sturgis, SD; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by two daughters: Kathryn Bagley, Cheryl Doman; and 12 siblings. It can be said that Doris endeared herself to all who knew her.

"ThereÕs a time for us to hold on, a time for us to let go . . ." (Unknown) Published in the Daily Herald on 7/31/2005. Lindstrom, J. Paul Paul Lindstrom, a devoted husband, faithful brother, proud father, grandfather and great grandfather, passed away peacefully the morning of July 28, 2005. He will always be remembered for the stories he told and his morally honorable and no-nonsense approach to life that has been cherished by all who knew him. If he were to write this obituary, he might say: I was born June 4, 1927 to Bert and Florence Lindstrom and grew up in the mining town of Mammoth, Utah, out past Eureka. During WWII I enlisted in the Navy at the age of 17. After the war was over, I became a journeyman iron worker helping build part of Geneva and working on the "high iron" in many of the western states. In 1954 my brothers and I started Lindstrom Brothers Heating and later I helped my son Jeff start his own company, Professional Heating. During summers in the early 60's I took my family to our ranch in Fruitland, Utah where my children learned to work and enjoy the outdoors. Through all the years, IÕve accumulated many stories. My family tells me that the stories get better with age. I loved learning and had a non-stop work ethic. I hope that my legacy could be described as one of hard, honest work. My children and their successes in life bring me my greatest joy. For a time, I have to leave behind my eternal sweetheart, Helen Colledge Lindstrom. She is my greatest friend, our romance never faded. I also have six children IÕm proud of: Jeff (Lynne), Larry (Deanne), Cindy (Greg Harris), Grant (Keri), Gordon (Becky) and Craig (Anita). I have 37 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren that I will also miss. My brother Charlie and my sister Kaye Ney are also left behind for a time. DonÕ t worry about me, IÕve got my parents and my brother Bert and sisters Ruth Tolich and Ida Croft here to show me around. By the time you get here, IÕll have some good stories to tell you. Thanks to all our neighbors and friends over the years. I couldnÕt have asked for better.
