joined his sweetheart, Ellen Rasmussen Clausen and other loved ones beyond the
veil on June 30. He was born on May 2, 1908 in Copenhagen, Denmark to Carl
Johan and Emilie Kirstine Nielsen Clausen. Frithiof was a hard worker all his
life beginning at a very early age in his pursuit to provide sustenance for
himself and his ten brothers and sisters. He was the last living sibling.
Through adversity he gained strength and character. July 27, 1939 he married
Ellen and together they became a strong union. As new members of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints they immigrated to Salt Lake City in 1948

worked for Thiokol for a time. Frithiof was a humble man, who spent his life
in the se rvice of others. He was full of faith, never straying from his
principles. Despite being shy, he was able to connect and have a forever bond
with all who knew him. He loved animals; whenever they were present they would
flock to his side. Each of his eight grandchildren has wonderful memories of
summers spent at his home in Willard. He taught each of them countless things,
most of all of his great love of the Savior. Frithiof was a man of great
spiritual and physical strength. He was full of humor and was very
intelligent. We will remember his strong hands that could fix anything. He had
several callings in the church including 16 years working in genealogical name
extraction. He remained faithful until the end. He is survived by his

Del Carlo, Norma Ducci
Norma Ducci Del CarloNorma Ducci Del Carlo died peacefully, returning to her
beloved Rigoletto on Saturday, July 2, 2005. 50 years ~ So long ago, then
again like yesterday. After graduation, my parents took my sister Lydia and I
on a 6 month trip to Italy, their homeland, to visit grandparent and relatives
we had never known. Loved it. Made a promise to myself and relatives to return
someday. Came home, went to work for an attorney as a secretary thanks to L.E.
Swenson (Shorthand) Regal Miss Perucca (English) Funny Miss Daniels (Typing).
($50.00 a month.) When the war came I went to work for the government, Utah
General Depot. At war's end having secured my career statues (Permanent).
Saved $5,000.00, I quit to fulfill my promise to return to Italy. While there
I suppose it was inevitable that two operas should meet, namely "Norma" and
"Rigoletto" Del Carlo, but meet we did and soon after I was married in the
same church my parents were married in 35 years previously, in that lovely
seasid e village. After 18 months we returned home. I went back to work and my
husband opened up "Rigo's Italian Restaurant" 28th and Washington Blvd. About
5 years later our son Robert was born. He lives nearby and we have two
grandsons. Our son, not caring to take over our business, after 25 successful
years, we decide to sell. We now divide our time between enjoying our home and
garden traveling to visit my sister and her family in Maryland and our
relatives in Italy, returning there each summer. She is survived by one
sister, Lydia and her husband Paul Montalbano, one son, Robert and his wife
Beverly Del Carlo, two grandchildren, Oliver and Addison. Funeral services
will be held Thursday, July 7, 2005 at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 2740

in Farr West, Utah where they grew up together on their farm. Jeff developed a
deep appreciation of all animals, especially horses. Soon he was a devoted
cowboy who always sported a great pair of boots (even later in life as he was
confined to a wheelchair). He also loved sports, scouting, gardening, playing
guitar, singing, his family and his faith. When Jeff turned nineteen he choose
to serve an LDS mission and was called to the Great Lakes Mission from August
1965-1967. Shortly after his return, on December 15, 1967 he married the love
of his life, Cheryl Lynn Kaiser in the Logan LDS Temple f or time and all
eternity. She was truly his "queen" and he treated her as such all the days of
his life. They became the parents of four wonderful children Shannon (Brad)
Reiche, Marlo (Jeff) Rawlings, Amy (James) English and Lance (Ginger)Vause. 15
grandchildren; Landon (Suzette), Vanessa, Dylan, Alexis, Madison, Ryker,
Austin, Kanton, Jordon, Jaden, Malone, Jacob, Morgan, Preston, and Jamie; and
one great grandchild Garrett all residing in St. George, Utah. They all
affectionately called him "Papa" a title he took to heart by making sure he
taught each of them the importance of a true testimony of the gospel of Jesus
Christ, family, faith, love and enduring to the end. Jeff loved his work. He
was a Fire Fighter and EMT for the Logan Fire Department for 10 years and was
the President of the Utah State Fire Fighters Association for four years until
he medically retired. On his days off he sold insurance, dabbled in cement
work, and trained horses. He was a great teacher and always took the time to
help his children and others understand the complexities of life. Throughout
his life Jeff was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, holding many positions and serving his Heavenly Father to his greatest
capacity. He served as Elders Quorum President, President of the Quorum of the
Seventy, Stake Missionary President and many other callings. He became a High
Priest at the age of 33. He had a great love for genealogy and has found
thousands of his ancestral links through his dedication to this work. In 2003,
he and his wife Cheryl received one of the greatest merits of their time
together. They were honored as a "Gold-Medal Marriage" by Governor Mike
Leavitt. They were not just nominated by their daughters but by others who had
seen the selfless dedication and love that they shared. No matter what the
challenge, they have seen it through together and he has always been the "wind
beneath her wings". Despite the many challenges brought on by his ex tended
battle with Multiple Sclerosis, Jeff had a remarkable spirit and love of life
which was evident in all he did. He had a way of embracing others with his
gentle wisdom and inviting smile. Through his immense spirit, Jeff taught
strength in adversity to his family, friends and neighbors. This strength was
truly his gift in life. We know he will continue to inspire us to strive to do
our best and to live each day to its fullest regardless of our circumstance.
We thank him for the knowledge he has blessed us with, we pay tribute to the
truly amazing work he accomplished in this life and look forward to the day
when we will rejoice with him again. Funeral services will be held Tuesday,
