later solemnized in the Ogden LDS Temple. Lynn and Anna Beth were blessed with
four wonderful children, Shelly, Beth Ann, Mark, and Jim. Lynn was always
proud of his children and found great joy with them, his grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. There are many fond memories of Grandpa showing (i.e.,
telling!) all of the kids how to work the garden. Mr. Summers began a
distinguished federal career working at the Ogden Arsenal. He late r told the
story that he weighed a mere 116 lb, so he placed rocks in his slacks to make
the minimum acceptable weight for hire. His work ethic was always exemplary

Base. This was a 30-day appointment that lasted 37 years. Mr. Summers rose to
serve as the chief civilian at the base. He was supervisor of the Storage and
Transportation Division and ended his federal career as Deputy Director of
Distribution at the Defense Depot in Ogden. He was always proud to be a
government employee and spoke highly of his colleagues at the base. He
considered them to be the finest people with whom one could work. One of his
most rewarding positions was managing the transportation and equipment needs
for the Minuteman, Titan, and BMOC missile systems. He retired from federal
service in 1986. He was an active member of numerous employee organizations.
He was a life member of the Air Force Association, whose primary role was
servic e to others. He served as President of two chapters and was also Utah
State President of the National Defense Transportation Association. In 1982
the four transportation organizations in Utah honored him as the Utah State
Transportation Man of the Year. Lynn was also a member of the National Defense
Transportation Association and The Fraternal Order of Eagles. Following his
federal career Lynn worked at Clearwater Trucking Company for four years.
Lynn's surviving family includes his oldest sister Helen Carnahan of Roy, his
devoted wife Anna Beth, two daughters, Shelly James (Cindy), Santa Cruz,
California; Beth Ann Smith (Rodger), North Ogden; two sons, Mark Sheldon,
Ogden; and James T. (Joy), Tucson, Arizona; 11 grandchildren, five
great-grandchildren (and four due in the spring). Also surviving is
sister-in-law Jyme Summers. Lynn enjoyed many blessings in his life and will
be greatly missed by family and friends. The family extends special thanks to
