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
