Carla Payne Forbush was just a fun-loving, adventure-seeking, lady who grew up in Bountiful, Utah. She passed away with all of her family around her on April 21, 2022, at the young age of 75. Her departure was just in time for her to make her spiritual appearance on her water skis for boating season.
Carla is survived by her husband Don, her four children Kristen, Camela (Brian), Michelle (Chad), and Rob (Margot), her stepson Nate and her beloved grandchildren Taylor, Sierra, Kannon, Drew, Cailie, Brett, and Josh. She is also survived by her father T. Jay and her siblings Cheryl, Gary, and Shelley (Mark). In addition to her immediate family, Carla leaves behind an incredible extended family and many, many friends. She was preceded in death by her mother Elaine, her brother Rod, and her many dogs. We are confident they are joyfully reconnecting now.
If you knew Carla, you knew that you were loved and there is a good chance she told you that. She always showed up and she truly believed the more the merrier. During her time here, she found a way into everyone’s hearts.
She taught health and P.E. at Butler Middle School for most of her career, after retirement she volunteered for the Red Cross and at the Jordan River Temple keeping her resume full of activities. Carla loved her husband, kids, grandkids, her siblings, her many friends, her pets, her Heavenly Father, waterskiing, traveling and new adventures, butter, popcorn, a good 80s workout video, a peanut buster parfait, NCIS, and nature shows. Carla hated to be cold, dirty windows, having a dry mouth, and the word snot. That’s it. She was content with most everything else. We are not positive, but we think the cause of death was either a stroke or more likely a heavenly adventure she forgot to tell us about. Carla, Carly, Mom, Grandmom we’ve always loved you and miss you already.
A viewing will be held on Wednesday, April 27, 2022 at 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the LDS ward building located at 10303 South 2700 West, South Jordan, Utah. A memorial service will be held the following day, Thursday, April 28, 2022, at 11:00 am with a viewing at 10:00 am at the same location. We encourage everyone to attend this last big get-together for the most fun woman on earth. In lieu of flowers feel free to donate to the humane society or the American Red Cross in Carla’s name.
Kathie Goff Gomez was born on January 13, 1947, to Steve
and Faye Goff. She passed away on April 14, 2022 at University of Utah
hospital in Salt Lake City due to complications from cancer.
She married her husband and love of her life, Ascension Gomez, in 1978. She was proceeded in death by her husband, Ascension, in 2005, grandparents
Elizabeth and Gordon Pace, her father Steve Durant Goff, her mother Faye
Pace Shackelford, and her nephew Andrew Goff.
As a child she was a tap dancer, ballet dancer, played the piano, and had the most beautiful singing voice. She also loved to ice skate. In the wintertime, her parents would transform the backyard into an ice-skating rink, and you couldn’t keep her off the ice. When she was 14, she worked at her grandparents’ restaurant: the Dairy Queen. After it was sold, her grandparents started the restaurant Paces Dairy Anne. Kathie worked there until she was 19. She later went on to become a waitress where she was loved by all that she would come into contact with.
Kathie loved to be outside, loved the mountains, and loved working outside in her yard with flowers in her garden. She loved animals more than anyone you could ever meet. Her favorites were her kitties and she would help any animal she would come across that needed help. You would often find her picking up snails to tell them they had the cutest little faces. She would feed all the hornets and bees with cat food. You would never meet anyone that had a bigger heart and the kindest soul. She always was very giving to everyone she knew including the animal world.
Kathie was one of the
strongest people you would ever meet. She was the oldest of 5 children and
always wanted to take care of her siblings. All the way to the end, she worried
for the wellbeing of her family. She would ride her bike all over town up until
about 15 years ago when the pain in her back became overwhelming and it became
harder for her to do much of anything. Kathie was loved by all who knew her.
Kathie’s favorite times were with her family and friends. She was adored by her
nieces and nephews and treated them like her children. She is survived by one brother, Larrie Goff, and her nine sisters: Sharon, Darlene, Melanie, Tammy, Karla, Heidi, Nicole, and Valorie. Kathie will be greatly missed by all who knew her and by her fur baby family.
According to Russon Brothers Mortuary, no services are planned at this time.
John grew up in Bountiful, Utah just east of the old tabernacle, on land that had once been his great grandfather’s farm. He attended Stoker School, Bountiful Junior High and then Bountiful High, graduating with the Class of ’65. One of the highlights of his life was serving as BHS Student Body President during the ’64-’65 school year.
After high school, John was called to the Mexican Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where he spent thirty months teaching, proselyting, learning Spanish, and experiencing life outside of the United States. Upon returning home, he attended the University of Utah where he earned a B.A. in History with a Spanish minor as well as a Reserve Officer commission through ROTC. Later, at the age of 40, he enrolled in the Executive MBA Program at Brigham Young University and received a Master’s Degree in Business Administration.
While at the University of Utah, John met and married Robin Anderson from Salt Lake’s East Millcreek area. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple October 6, 1970 and grew up together, sharing 45 happy years. John and Robin loved having a family and enjoyed raising their four wonderful children, Kristin, Chad, Craig and Katie. In 2005, Robin was diagnosed with cancer and spent the next ten years bravely fighting for her life. She passed away November 30, 2015.
After Robin’s death, John was blessed to find a second warm and caring companion, someone to share his final years. While working as a volunteer at Welfare Square, he met Xiomara Rincon of Maracaibo, Venezuela. They were married by their Bishop on August 6, 2016 and, one year later, were sealed together in the Bountiful Temple. John and Xiomara (Xiomy) enjoyed close to six years together as husband and wife.
John wished to thank friends and family for their love and support throughout his life: “Thanks for being my friends.”
