Harney, Jonathan (Memoriam)
IN LOVING MEMORY OF JONATHAN HARNEY Sept. 2, 1986 - June 1, 2003I drove into
the cemetery with tears in my eyes today, I placed a flower upon your grave
and bowed my head to pray. Looking at the simple marker nothing fancy or
overdone, I couldn't help but cry as I read the birth and death of my son. I
told you how much I missed you, your face I could clearly see. You have died,
but are not lost, you will always be a part of me. So I'll say good bye for a
little while sleep in peace and always know, I didn't want to give you back to
God, he took your hand, and I had to let go. We love and miss you, Mom and
Nick

Pierce, Edward E.
Edward E. Pierce 1929 - 2005 LAYTON - Edward E. Pierce, age 75, passed away on
Tuesday, May 31, 2005 after a long and courageous battle with heart failure.
He was born on September 21, 1929 in Goldsboro, North Carolina to Pauline
Filler and Richard Pierce. He married his sweetheart, Mary C. Joyner, on April
1, 1950, and was later sealed to his lovely bride in the Salt Lake Temple.
Edward honorably served his country in the United States Air Force. He retired
after 20 years of service and always felt a sense of appreciation for those
brave men and women who served and continue to serve this great country in
order to preserve the freedoms we all enjoy. After retiring from the Air
Force, Ed worked for the Dept. of Mental Health for the State of Oklahoma.
While in Oklahoma, Ed served in many callings in the LDS Church (i.e., Bishop,
High Council, etc.) while raising his family. He loved sports and every chance
he had, he was found couching the youth of his Ward, many times to victory.
Twenty years later, Ed retired from the State of Oklahoma and moved his family
to Utah to be close to his children who were attending BYU and Ricks College.
As a result, he always rooted for the Oklahoma Sooners and the BYU Cougars.
Bored with retirement, Ed began working for the LDS Church at Promised Valley
Playhouse in 1984 as the House Manager. Because Ed was such a people person,
his work at Promised Valley Playhouse was nothing but a lot of fun for him.
Ed's testimony reflected his love of the Savior and his fellow man. He always
gave to those in need and he truly loved and cared for those he met, even to
the end. Ed is survived by his loving wife, Mary Pierce and children Jeri
(Paul) Johnson, Terry Pierce and Gary (Kathy) Pierce. He is also the
grandfather of four beautiful grandchildren, who he adored. The family wishes
to thank Drs. Long and Rassmussen and the loving nurses and staff of the TICU,
heart failure team at LDS Hospital and IHC Hospice for their enduring love an
d dedication to Ed. A heart felt thanks goes out to the Hula Girls (nurses and
pa's) for the smile they put on Ed's face the day they showed up to dance the
hula for him. Funeral services will be held Friday, June 3, 2005 at 11 a.m. at
the Snow Creek Ward, 845 No. 1150 E., Layton. Friends and family may call

Whitehead, Julie Kay
Julie Kay Whitehead Our precious, gentle and loving wife, mother, sister and
grandmother was released from the confines of her earthly mission on May 28,
2005. She bravely fought a decades-long battle with various forms of can cer,
while never despairing and always uplifting others. In her short mortal
existence, she strengthened the lives of all with whom she interacted and the
world will be sorely remiss without her. Julie always sees the beauty in this
world and marvels at her Heavenly Father's hand in all things, even in the
remarkable simplicity of rainstorms and sunsets. Her yard is filled with many
flowers, of which she knows every name. She graduated as a Dietitian from Utah
State University and interned in California, then worked at McKay-Dee
Hospital. On July 29, 1966 she married the love of her life, Richard, for time
and eternity in the Logan Temple and they later started an eternal family
consisting of: three daughters - Camille (Lorne) Kearl, Trina Whitehead and
Cheryl (Brett) Ward; one son - Brandon (Becki) Whitehead and five
grandchildren - Stacia, Chance, Brynady, Avrey and Ashlyn at present. As a
homemaker, Julie honed a variety of talents for her personal enjoyment and for
the benefit of others. Besides teaching others how to garden, cook, quilt,
crochet and ride horses, she is also a comforter, guardian, an avid reader and
a sage listener, giving the right advice to help others through their trials.
Julie is a member of the L.D.S. Church, accepting many callings to serve in
the Primary presidency, in Relief Society, as a Primary teacher and as a
visiting teacher. Her forte is in playing the piano for Primary and Relief
Society. She never missed a Sunday, so the church was always filled with her
calming prelude music. She taught her children the importance of
responsibility by maintaining a menagerie of animals, including horses,
parakeets, fish and her favorite kitty, Glue. She is survived by her husband,
children and grandchildren, as well a s her sister Sharon (John) Giles and her
