In Memoriam

The purpose of this blog is to honor our former classmates who attended Bountiful High School as members of the class of 1965 and are now deceased. These souls, who have gone before us, were our friends, our associates, and an important part of our own history. They deserve to be remembered. We were able to research a school photo for most of these former classmates. We have also located obituaries for many of them, and have included statistical information regarding the death of those for whom an obituary was not found. 

Our profound thanks to all of our friends who have sent information to assist us in preparing this labor of love. Researched and compiled by Yvonne Rasmussen and Diane Day.

**Due to Blogger limitations, dates for those who passed before 1970 will display inaccurately in the chronological list. You'll find those classmates' obituaries listed under 1970.

Peggy Lugenbeel

      

Peggy Jo Lugenbeel, 54, of Vernal, passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 31, 2001 in Salt Lake City after a severe illness.

She was born Nov. 6, 1946 in Rifle, Colo., to Basil Lugenbeel and Betty Kay Purkey. Peggy had a gypsy spirit acquired at an early age due to the many moves her parents made. She eventually landed in Bountiful where she graduated from Bountiful High School in 1965.

Her desire to help others led her into the medical field where she became an X-ray technician and eventually a radiation therapist. She worked at the University of Utah Hospital 18 years. Her gypsy spirit took over again and she bacame a locum and travelled the country as a radiation therapist in such "exotic" locations as Santa Fe, N.M., Durango, Colo., Secaucus, N.J., and Sweethome, Ore.

Peggy Jo enjoyed cooking, crocheting, travel and most of all loved spending time with family and friends. We will miss her dearly but she is everyone's angel now.
