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.

JoAnne Kreutzer


Our beloved JoAnne Kreutzer Asay, 51, returned to our Father in Heaven on Wednesday, April 21, 1999 after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. Now that she is free from her cancer-ravaged body, she is able to once again spread her cheer, laughter, smiles, and use her wonderful capacity to love. She will be missed by her parents, husband, children, grandchild, and extended family but will always be remembered for her unique ability to gracefully handle challenges, unselfishly offer her love in behalf of others, and always share a smile and a word of encouragement to her loved ones. She enjoyed establishing and celebrating family traditions and loved to tell a good story. She always remembered her friends as if they were her sisters.
"I've had a wonderful life, I've never missed a meal because I was poor. I was never forced to wait in line for food. I've never had to wear anything secondhand, unless I chose to do so. I never wanted in my heart for love and compassion because I was born and then married into the most wonderful circumstances I could have wished for. I am embarrassed at the lack of sacrifices I've had to make. I have always had a warm home and secure bed. I've never wanted for material things and I've never had to go without spiritual blessings either. I've been able to glimpse places in the world that had only existed in my imagination! In fact, the more closely I scrutinize my life, the more I see how wondrous and great it truly has been! I've never lacked for friends, for wonderful children and a loving husband, or for loving relatives. Perhaps most of all, the Gospel prepared me to accept the challenges and to appreciate all of my sweet tender blessings, because I've never lacked faith and always had a simple but sure testimony."
JoAnne had but one simple request that she asked from her family and friends. "Remember me with joy and happiness If you can only remember me with tears and sorrow, I'd rather you not remember me at all."
