Ella Sue Nelson

Ella Susan Nelson Knight "Gramella" died April 4, 2011, at Salt Lake Regional Medical Center from complications of diabetes and pulmonary fibrosis. She was born May 21, 1947 at St. Mark's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Frank Nelson and Fern Shelton Nelson. She grew up in a house on Orchard Drive in Bountiful, Utah with her parents, her older sister Patricia, her Grandma Shelton and her Aunt Frances Shelton. Pat and Ella were devoted companions throughout their lives, first on train trips with their father, and later for marathon shopping expeditions and University of Utah basketball games.

She attended Adelaide Elementary and South Davis Jr. High, and graduated from Bountiful High in 1965. She attended Utah State University and the University of Utah. She married F. Walker Knight March 21, 1969, and became the second mother for his daughters Julia and Tiffany. A son, Nelson, joined the family on September 26, 1971. She was a strong devoted mother. Ella and Walker divorced in 1981.

She had a long love for Salt Lake City's communities and heritage. She lived for many years in the Avenues and was a founder and board member of the Greater Avenues Community Council. She later moved to downtown Salt Lake and remained active on her HOA boards and the Central City Community Council. She worked for ZCMI, the University of Utah, Rowland Hall-St. Mark's School and Middlekauff Lincoln-Mercury. For the past 13 years, she worked for the Salt Lake City Arts Council.

When her first grandson was born, instead of "Grandma" or "Grandmother," a friend suggested "Gramella" and it stuck. She treasured her nine grandchildren, found joy in their successes, and remembered every cute thing each of them ever said. She was a collector of quotes, and said "she lived her life by the words of other people." She was a loyal, loving friend, neighbor and coworker who looked forward to time spent with all of them, notably her monthly coffee klatch.

She is survived by her sister, Patricia (Eric) Achter; son Nelson (Lisa) Knight and grandsons Alex, Addison, Carter, Colin, Parker and Paxton; daughter Julia (Glen) Grim and grandson Julian; daughter Tiffany Jan and granddaughters Winnifred and Sydney; and nephew Adam Achter. They wish to express their thanks to Dr. Dana Clarke for many years of supportive care, and to the staff of Salt Lake Regional Medical Center who helped Ella through the last days of her journey here.

Ella chose many years ago to donate her remains to the University of Utah School of Medicine. A memorial and celebration of her life will take place on Tuesday, April 19th from 6-9 p.m. at the Art Barn, 54 Finch Lane (in Reservoir Park), Salt Lake City.

Mike Rank

John Michael Ranck "Mike" 8/19/1947 -  10/21/2008 Our hero, our anchor, loving husband, soldier, my dad, grandpa "Cramps", brother, "Uncle Mike" and friend. A true cowboy. Our dad was the kindest, most caring, unselfish person anyone could know. He was an honest and hard working man who set a wonderful example for all who knew him. Dad was a man of few words. He had a huge heart and yet the toughest cowboy around.

He loved the Ranch as much as life itself and it was hard for him to leave Wyoming last week knowing he would not return. He was elk hunting last Wednesday and still very much calling the shots and leading the drive. He loved to hunt on the Ranch. He was an awesome two-step dancin' machine and he and mom never missed a beat on the dance floor! He especially loved dancing with mom to Johnny's music in the bowery. He was also one of Santa's helpers delivering fresh cut Christmas trees every year right after Thanksgiving.

Dad was truly "one of the good ones" and we cannot begin to express our thoughts, our love and how truly broken hearted we are without him. We are only comforted knowing he is free from a body filled with cancer and suffers no more fighting a painful battle that could not be won. Dad wanted pity from no one and truly did "take it like a man".

He will be missed and forever loved by Mom, Dexter, Jayme, Mandy and Johnny; along with Derek, Tad, Mykah, Averie, Spencer, Grace, Bo, Reggie, Miles, Ellie, Sally and "Smay". Trigger his horse and Red dog. He is now reunited with his daughter, Sharlee and his loved ones who have preceded him in death.

Funeral services will be held at 12:00 noon, Fri., October 24, 2008 at the Bountiful Stone Creek LDS Chapel, 1475 N. 300 W.
