Burningham D.M.D., Paul
Paul Smith Burningham, our beloved husband, father, Papa, and friend returned
to his Heavenly Father on Friday, January 14, 2005 at age 70 after a long
battle with heart disease. Paul was born on September 3, 1934 in Salt Lake
City, Utah, the second of three sons born to George Leland Burningham and Ina
Smith Burningham. After Paul lost his father at age 4, his mother moved the
family to Holladay, Utah to live with her widowed mother. When Ina Burningham
married Charles Wilson, the family moved to Denver, Colorado, where Paul
graduated from East High School. He enlisted in the United States Navy during
the Korean War and was stationed in Washington, DC, where he met his
sweetheart and eternal companion, Peggy Ann Bell. Paul and Peggy were married
in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on November 2, 1955 and are the parents of three
children. In acquiring his education, Paul attended Brigham Young University,
the University of Utah and Washington University of Saint Louis School of
Dentistry. The family eventually settled in Turlock, California and Paul
practiced there for 20 years. After retiring from dentistry, Paul and Peggy
moved to Springville, Utah and then came to Meridian, Idaho five years ago to
perfect the art of spoiling their grandchildren. Paul was a lifelong active
member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in
countless callings. In Turlock Paul served in bishoprics for 13 years, and
served as the bishop of the Turlock Ward for 7 years. He also served as a
counselor in the Fresno, California Mission Presidency for 4 years. In
Springville he served on the stake high council. After coming to the Boise
area, he and Peggy filled a CES mission at the Boise State Institute of
Religion and at the time of his passing they were serving as temple workers in
the Boise Temple. Paul also served as the High Priests Secretary in the Vienna
Woods Ward. Paul was known by friends and family alike as a kind, gentle bear
of a man . He was an excellent athlete, excelling in swimming, softball,
tennis, basketball and he especially loved to golf. Blessed with a beautiful
and strong voice, he loved to sing and was a bass soloist with the Utah Valley
Chorale and sang with the Utah Civic Opera. Paul was also a talented artist
who loved to draw and paint. Our Papa found his greatest joy and happiness in
spending time with Peggy, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Peterson, Paul
PLAIN CITY - On January 15, 2005, Paul Robert (Bob) Peterson passed away
suddenly after just coming home to recuperate after a very long surgery and
hospital stay. We lost our dad, and mom lost her love, and our world became a
sadder place, now so empty without this gruff man with the courage of lions
and a gentle loving heart of gold. Bob was born August 1, 1936 in Webster
Grove, MO to Paul Franklin Peterson and Rose E. McCorkle. My dad once said to
me that the first moment he saw mom he knew she was the one he would love
forever, and so on April 26, 1960 after only dating 2 weeks, Paul Robert
Peterson married Irma Jean Van Hoy. They would have celebrated their 45th
anniversary this April. Bob spent 20 years in the Navy traveling all over the
world. He retired in 1975. He enjoyed photography, hunting, golf, camping, and
woodworking. He was also known as the Plain City shuffleboard king, ha ha
guys. Paul and Irma had two sons, Richard Elson, and Dusty (Bonnie) Pe terson
of Illinois; and three daughters, Christine (Brad) Parke of West Weber; Sandra
(Don) Bearce of West Haven; and Denise Mahaffey of South Ogden. The love and
care of these daughters given to their dad left him touched with such love
that he knew hed done a good job raising them, they pulled together to care
for dad being led by his wife who showed endless love and care every moment of
his illness. He came home from the hospital on Friday, and on Saturday
afternoon he just went to sleep knowing he was so truly loved and treasured
that we would understand and he slipped away. Well all miss you each day until
we see you again. Surviving are his wife, Irma, their 5 children, 14
grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, his brothers, Jack, Dave and Mike
Peterson. He is also survived by a very special aunt, Mrs. Ruthie Walker, who
he loved dearly. He was preceded in death by both parents, a brother Steve,

beyond the call of duty. Thank you Bambi and William. To all the persons who

Sawley, Anne R.
Anne R. (Kominsky) Sawley October 18, 1918 - January 14, 2005 A short time ago
the Angels came to visit a very special lady. They invited her to become the
latest member of their group. Anne R. Sawley was "rushed" by the angels and
was a bit overwhelmed. She didn't want to go and resisted with what little
strength she had left. However, their pleading softened her heart and she
became a member of their elite club. Anne would make the same journey her
husband (Edward Ray), her parents, four brothers, two sisters, and other
relatives and many friends have made before her. The angels would give Anne
special status in their group because of her love and compassion for those she
was leaving behind. Her charity and concern for all had been well documented
by the heavenly scribes. Anne knew that her sons, Ward (Pat), Brad (Phyllis)
and daughter, Kathy (Tom Bernatis) plus all her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren, brother and two sisters will be especially sadd ened by
her absence. She also knew that their pain will ebb and her precious memories
will be celebrated. Please join us on Saturday, January 22, 2005 at 11:00 a.m.
at Leavitt's Mortuary, 836 36th Street, Ogden, Utah for a farewell to Anne. We
will mourn her passing but we'll also celebrate her life. Rather than flowers,
Anne would prefer that donations be made to the tsunami victims through your
preferred charity. Her memory will be lavished with her precious peonies when
they bloom. A coal miners daughter from Kemmerer, Wyoming and darn proud of
it."Be a light unto the darkness, and don't be mad about it. Then you will
know Who You Really Are, and all other will know too. Let your light so shine
that everyone will know how special you are!"The Little Soul and the SunBy
