Lewis, Catherine Elizabeth C.
Catherine Elizabeth Conley Lewis 1920-2005 Catherine Elizabeth Conley Lewis,
age 84, passed away peacefully on May 27, 2005, surrounded by loving family
members. Known by her family and friends as "Peggy," she was born October 12,
1920, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Philip and Charlotte Conley. On August 8,
1941, she married John Dean Lewis in the Logan LDS Temple, and they began
their life together in Los Angeles, California. They are the parents of nine
children, two of whom have preceded their mother through the veil. Peggy grew
up in Los Angeles, where her sweet mother (a German emigrant) worked hard to
support her two daughters by working as a seamstress. Peggy was influenced by
her mother's love of cooking, sewing, music, and nature, and enjoyed
participating in women's choirs from an early age. After graduating from Los
Angeles Polytechnic High School, Peggy began working at the Bank of America.
She later met and married John, making their home in North Hollywood, where
their first four children were born. John and Peggy moved to Arizona, where
they had the next five children, and enjoyed the slower-paced life of Mesa.
Shortly after the birth of their last two children-twins-the family moved back
to southern California, where they lived until Dad's final job change took
them to Salt Lake City, Utah. Passionate about gardening, she enjoyed
landscaping each new home. Her kids loved to tease her about knowing the
common (and Latin) names of each flower variety known to man. Peggy lived life
with frugality and moderation, moving at a gentle pace to enjoy the beauty of
life around her. She is known for her quick wit, quiet intelligence, love of
geography, and her wide knowledge on many subjects, often reading
encyclopedias and dictionaries in her spare time. Peggy played field hockey,
softball, and golf in her earlier years, and to the delight of her
grandchildren, she enthusiastically followed sporting events until the end of
her life. Always an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, Peggy's life has been her testimony of the Savior's teachings through
her humility, compassion, and quiet acts of service. She will be remembered
for her many sacrifices, with a special talent for making everyone in her life
feel loved and needed. Peggy's family has been the unquestioned focus of her
life. A devoted wife and mother to her large family, she has always provided
just the right blend of laughter, discipline, love, and forgiveness. Peggy is
survived by seven of her nine children: Christine (Bill) Owens, of Phoenix,
AZ; Roberta Lewis, and John (Ann) Lewis, of Orem; Barbara (Lowell) Camp, of
Alpine; Jeffrey (Kathleen) Lewis, of Minnetonka, MN; David (Celeste) Lewis, of
Highland; and Diana (Tak) Wakimoto, of Lehi; two sons-in-law, Thomas Kimmel,
Jr. and Gary Lassen; 25 grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren; and her
half-brother, David Conley, of Seattle, WA. Peggy was preceded in death by her
husband, two wonderful daughters, Kathryn Kimmel and Bonny Lassen, her sister,
Ruby Cardon, her half-brother, Philip Conley, and her parents. Funeral
services will be held Friday, June 3, 2005, at 11 a.m., in the Lakeridge North

Scadlock, E. William
E. William Scadlock April 28, 1924 - May 29, 2005 We bid a tender farewell to
our husband, father, and grandfather, Bill Scadlock, 81, who passed into the
loving arms of our Heavenly Father on May 29, 2005, following complications
from a thirty-five year battle with cancer. Born April 28, 1924, in Pima,
Arizona, Bill was the third of eight children born to William Joseph and
Genevieve Cluff Scadlock. Bill leaves behind his wife and sweetheart of 59
years, Bonnie Gene Snarr, four children Janet (Don) Miller, Calgary, Alberta,
Canada; Jim (Sherri) Scadlock, Atlanta, Georgia; Lori (Andrew) Ehat, Orem,
Utah; Peri (Patrick) Hammons, Mesa, Arizona; 23 grandchildren and 25
great-grandchildren. Also left behind are 4 sisters, Virginia, Jeanetta,
Delsa, Clarene and one brother, Arlen and a half-brother, Daniel Scadlock.
Preceding him in death were his mother and father, and his sister, Delaine,
and brother, Verl. Bill, a graduate of South Gate High School in Southern
California, served in the US Navy during WWII as an aviation radioman
instructor in the Pacific Theatre. Upon his return from the military, he met
Bonnie and they were sealed for time and all eternity on September 18, 1946,
in the Mesa Arizona Temple. Bill and Bonnie settled in Downey, California
where Bill worked as an Electrician and as a Home Builder. After he became a
fireman with the Los Angeles County Fire Department, his growing family moved
into the home he built from the ground up in West Covina. Later, the family
resided in Alta Loma (now Rancho Cucamonga). There he retired after a 27-year
career with the fire department where he rose to the position of Engineer. In
1982, he and Bonnie moved to Orem, Utah, to their beloved mountains of Utah
Valley. Bill loved sports, including coaching Little League baseball, fishing
and BYU football. His most avid sports interest was golf (which he did not
take up until he was forty). Attesting to his love and proficiency of the
game, he won many tournaments in the sport, never tiring of discussing it with
family and friends even after giving up active playing. Now he's expecting
great golf courses in Heaven. Bill was a faithful member of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving the Lord throughout his life. He
served in many priesthood and auxiliary callings, including service three
times as a High Priest Group Leader, Elders Quorum President, MIA President,
Sunday School President, and Gospel Doctrine Instructor. One of the greatest
joys of his life was genealogy and Temple service. Following retirement,
Bonnie and Bill traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and Canada. They
served two missions for the LDS Church (Rochester, NY Church History sites and
Toronto Canada Temple). Bill was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and
great-grandfather. He is a hero to his family and is loved by his friends. He
will be most remembered as the quiet, gentle, and patient man who bore his
health challenges without complaint and with extraordinary dignity. His legacy
to the world was his honor and integrity and the family he so deeply loved
that without compulsory means will grow with him forever and ever. Daddy,
grandpa, sweetie, and loyal friend: From all of us who love you, we know that
God will be with you until we meet again. Funeral services will be held
Friday, June 3, 2005, at 11 a.m. in the Canyon View Stake Center, 575 East 800
