Carla Payne

 

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

 

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.

Gary Miller

 

Gary Fred Miller beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed away peacefully in his sleep while suffering with Alzheimer’s. He quickly declined after a fall that broke his hip. Three days later he passed in the early morning of Friday, September 3, 2021, in his home surrounded by his loving wife and eight children. He will be deeply missed by so many that he touched with his love, generosity, and example.

Gary centered his life on nurturing his family and extending Christ-like service to others. He and his sweetheart, Farrelyn, were lovingly devoted to raising their eight children and took great care to ensure they were taught and nurtured in the gospel of Jesus Christ. No person was more important to him than his beloved, Farrelyn. To those who knew them, their love and devotion was evident and an inspiration to all.

Born in Salt Lake City, UT in April 17, 1947 to Glen and Vivian Miller, he was the fourth oldest of eight children. He grew up in Bountiful, UT and enjoyed playing baseball and football for Bountiful High School and played for the football state championship his senior year. Following high school, Gary valiantly served in the Uruguay/Paraguay mission from 1966-1968. He attended college at Utah State, BYU, and U of U where he majored in Business Management. In 1971, while having knee surgery from a football injury, he couldn’t resist his beautiful nurse with the long, black hair. Within 6 months they were married and sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on Aug. 6, 1971.

In 1975 they moved to California after the birth of their third child. Gary began working in the floral industry at Venco Nursery in Oxnard. Not knowing the difference between a fern and a chrysanthemum when he began, he quickly learned the business he loved so much and became the owner five years later, renaming it Milgro Nursery. He soon became one of the largest potted plant growers in the country, expanding the business to other locations including Santa Barbara, CA, Nipomo, CA, Moorpark, CA along with another greenhouse operation in Newcastle, UT. He was well known, loved, and respected within the floral industry. He passed down this great legacy to his children.

Gary was deeply committed to service in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was called to be bishop of the newly formed Camarillo 5th Ward and served there for six years with a special love for all the members, especially the youth. In 1995 he was called by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland to be the stake president of the Camarillo, California Stake and faithfully served for nine years. His dedication and love for the members of the stake was very evident through their love and respect for him. Following a move to St. George Utah he was called to serve as the mission president of the Texas, McAllen Mission. He diligently served from 2007-2010. President and Sister Miller influenced the lives of over 450 missionaries they have a great love for.

When Gary wasn’t with his family, out in the greenhouses, or at a church building, he could be found practicing or at a sporting event for one of his children, flying in his plane, visiting with a family, or out on the golf course. He loved traveling with his wife and family and the Hawaiian Islands were a second home to him. To Gary, heaven would look something like the third hole on the Mauna Kea golf course.

Gary is survived by his loving wife, Farrelyn; eight children: Scott Miller (Christy), Michelle Boley (Scot), Melissa Muncy (Mike), Bradley Miller (Ariel), Cherilyn Smith (Ben), MaryAnn Stokes (Ryan), Tamara Roberts (Jay), and Michael Miller (Aubrey); along with his 31 grandchildren; and 2 great-grandchildren.

A visitation will be held Thursday, September 9, 2021, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Metcalf Mortuary, 288 West St. George Blvd., St. George, Utah.

Funeral services will be held Friday, September 10, 2021, at 11:00 AM, with a visitation prior from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM, at the Snow Canyon 11th Ward Chapel, 1625 Lava Flow Drive, St. George, Utah. Interment will be in the Santa Clara City Cemetery, 1950 Ancestor Way, Santa Clara, Utah.

Curtis Ingleby

Curtis W. Ingleby (74), beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, son, and brother passed away on July 17, 2021 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Curtis was born in Salt Lake City on December 2, 1946 to James C. Ingleby & Elizabeth R. Wegener.

Curtis was a man who was well respected, easy to love and fun to be around. He was very quick witted, you could always tell when he was about to say something that would make you laugh, sometimes to the point of tears, when you'd see the twinkle in his eyes and a mischievous grin cross his face. He was also quick to reach out a hand when one was needed. Curtis carried wisdom beyond even the 74 years that he lived on this earth, and he shared that wisdom, offering it as one of many ways to show how much he cared for those around him.

Curtis loved playing all types of sports throughout his life. In his youth, his passion was baseball. He was even offered an opportunity to play baseball with the Atlanta Braves. This expanded to include playing and coaching softball as an adult as well as playing racquetball and golf. He was a die-hard fan of the BYU Cougars, the Utah Jazz and the San Francisco 49ers, and loved all other Utah teams. Curtis was very fond of muscle cars and loved racing when he was in his youth. As an adult, he loved his Cobra Mustang so much that he had to part with it due to the number of tickets involving that fast car.

Curtis honorably served in the US Army, he loved his country and was very proud to show his patriotism.

He was employed by EIMCO/OVIVO for most of his professional career. He was loyal to the company and its employees and found happiness in helping others to succeed. He wore many hats throughout his career and genuinely loved being an Operations Manager for the Systems Group, the position he eventually retired from on March 30, 2012. He was an advocate for his customers and was very diligent about solving their complex and unique problems. He established long and lasting working relationships with his colleagues, customers and vendors, and many of these individuals became lifelong friends whom he loved and spoke highly of even after he retired.

Curtis dearly loved his wife and soul-mate Christine. She brought joy, happiness and passion to his life. He adored and cherished her throughout their marriage and was forever grateful for the care she continued to provide to him in his later years. Curtis loved spending time with his family and friends. Quality time together was very meaningful and important to him. He was thrilled to meet his first great-grandson, Oliver, just 2 months prior to his passing and those moments of the two of them together will be forever engrained in our hearts.

Curtis is survived by his wife Christine L. (Fischer), daughter Stefanie (Jason), granddaughters Lexi and Tori (Billy), great-grandson Oliver, sister Lorreen (Dave), sister Diane (Larry), sister Christine (Mark), and numerous nieces and nephews. Curtis is preceded in death by his parents James & Elizabeth and his older brother Jim.

A private Celebration of Life will be held in his honor.

Phil Daniels

 

Phillip Ross Daniels left this earth unexpectedly on November 16, 2020.  He had the opportunity of spending his 74th and last birthday elk hunting with his son Phil, AKA “Spike,” and eldest grandson Logan. 

Phil began his bigger-than-life journey on October 9, 1946 in Billings, Montana, with his father Herbert Grant Daniel and mother Margaret Alice Smith. He grew up in Bozeman Montana next to the Montana State University with those big wonderful barns and plenty of friends to help discover the world of knowledge--camping, fishing, scouting, hunting; snow-sledding, ice skating and just about anything a growing boy would want to learn. He sold and delivered newspapers and played junior high basketball.

The last day of junior high school, his family moved to Bountiful, Utah. His mother remarried Earl Johnson, whom he lovingly referred to as “Pal.” He graduated from Bountiful High School in 1965 and attended the University of Utah and Weber State, where he received an Associate Degree and a Bachelor’s of Science degree with a minor in Zoology. 

He owned and managed his own residential and commercial cleaning maintenance business, which took him into many people’s homes and businesses where he had the opportunity to chat with them while he went about his work. He had the unique ability to tell anecdotes in a skillful and amusing way and was truly a raconteur. Besides being entertained while he was in their presence, many a client marveled at how their windows sparkled or their walls were transformed after he applied his “secret cleaning formula.” He later became a marketing consultant as well as a substitute teacher. 

In 1974, he married Marjean Jones, later divorced, and welcomed his son Phillip Ross Daniels, Jr. into his life in 1979. He married Ann Jenkins in 1983 in the Salt Lake Temple. Ann was a wonderful companion and they traveled extensively together. They went around the world 2 ½ times and visited just about every corner of the earth. 

His passion for genealogy reunited many members of his expansive family, including some of his family in Germany with those who had been lost when they immigrated to America. He and Ann also met other family and relatives during trips to Spain and Argentina.

A bit of a Renaissance man, he loved learning and read voraciously. Phil, Ann and Phil Jr. built their log home and together with Phil Jr., he restored his 1976 Cadillac El Dorado convertible.

His ancestors were some of the original pioneers arriving on the wagon train with Brigham Young. He was proud of his pioneer heritage. He had the gift of gab and was able to learn from every person whom he met. Always full of stories from his connections with people over the years, Phil could hold court for hours. People who knew him found him to be a kind, just and honest person who touched their lives. He loved the Lord and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Throughout his life, he always had at least one dog by his side and loved all animals. At one time, he raised Dobermans and participated in Kennel Club dog shows. His blue Doberman earned the award of being named Stud Dog of the Year two years running.

He will be missed by his wife Ann, his son Phil Jr. and his grandchildren, Logan, Jaxson and Addison. He will also be missed by his faithful furry companions, Rosie, Buster, Minnie, Bonnie, McTavish and McCoy. His friends and worldwide family will always remember him and the impact that he had on their lives.

Due to Covid, a memorial service will be scheduled at a later date. Memories and well wishes can be shared at www.lindquistmortuary.com   

Charles Pledger

Dr. Charles "Chuck" V. Pledger passed away on October 30, 2020. He was born in Marianna, Florida in 1947 to Charles C. and Hilda (Parsons) Pledger. He had only one other sibling, his younger brother, John Pledger, whom he was very close to. He spent most of his youth in Florida. His family relocated to Bountiful, Utah when his father, active in the US Air Force, was transferred to Hill Air Force Base. Chuck attended and graduated from Bountiful High School where he met and courted Linda Pearson, his future wife. Chuck served in the Vietnam War from 1966 to 1969 as part of the Army's 101st Airborne Division. He was awarded the Purple Heart after he was wounded in battle. Chuck and Linda were married in 1969. Together, they raised seven children. 

Chuck understood the importance of education, attending the University of Utah, graduating in 1973 with a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering. He went on to attend Medical School at the University of Utah School of Medicine. He graduated an M.D. in 1977 and relocated his family to Clawson, Michigan where he began a five-year surgical residency at Providence Hospital in Southfield, Michigan. It was here that he discovered his love of surgery. Chuck was a perfectionist, excelling in the intricacies required as a surgeon. He returned to Utah with his family in 1982 where he established, with the help of his wife Linda, his medical practice in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Provo. He completed the rigorous task of becoming a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Chuck loved being in the operating room. He truly enjoyed the friendships and camaraderie he had with his co-workers and everyone loved working with him. He was known for his cool and calm demeanor, both in and out of the operating room. 

While Chuck and Linda would later separate and divorce, they remained close and he always ensured she was taken care of. He later re-married Lisa Lee in 2014 and they enjoyed several years vacationing and riding their Harleys together. She took great care of him and gave him wonderful companionship and he loved her very much. Chuck continued working up until the time he was hospitalized.

Chuck was very energetic and loved adventure! He ran two full marathons, enjoyed backpacking in the Uintahs with his family, hunting with his boys, scuba diving and skydiving with Linda, and snow skiing with his family. It was known he used his college student loan monies to buy his season passes at Snowbird! Chuck experienced a skydiving accident in the late 90s that severely broke both his ankles, but it was commonly chuckled by him, "If you don't limp, you aint sh#@!" Chuck loved spending time riding his Harley and enjoyed many motorcycle trips with his wife, children and friends. He created many wonderful memories with his family through these activities that they will love and cherish forever. He was known for his kindness and compassion for others. People loved Chuck's company and always made a point of seeking him out at events just to catch up. He was well loved by everyone that knew him. Chuck had a very generous heart - helping friends with their LDS missions and other financial support. He had the opportunity to participate in several medical humanitarian projects in Ghana and said it was one of the most fulfilling experiences in his life. He will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him!

Conrad Naegle

Conrad Anthony Naegle, “Crow”, passed away peacefully on September 23, 2020 at the University of Utah, after a short stay. He was born on a cold day in December to George and Lorraine Naegle in Salt Lake City, Utah.  He married Shari Bangerter in 1963; he will be lovingly remembered by his “knock out wife” of 57 years.

Conrad was a self-made man who was not only skilled but self-taught in many trades. He was a remarkable man who loved his family and would do anything for them and would never back down from a fight, but this was a battle he could not win. Conrad was a noble man and a problem solver who never gave up until a solution was found.  In the poorest of health, he continued to battle on and reflected this work ethic to the end.  He was always there to lift us up.  He was loud, stubborn and as tough as nails, but his heart was even bigger than his personality.  He loved to keep things simple and genuine. Our Father taught us to live life with grace and integrity.

He is survived by his wife Shari; his children LeAnn (Brian) Quinn, Shaun (Shannon) Naegle; grandchildren, Katelyn, Matthew, and Brady Quinn, Dominick and Kelsie Naegle, Mandy Bone, Debra Anderson; and 3 great grandchildren; brother, Larry Naegle; brother-in- law Bob Bangerter, brother and sister-in-law Steve and Betty Bangerter; several nieces, nephews and cousins; and a myriad of friends that were like family to him. He was preceded in death by his sons Marty and Cory Naegle, and grandson Shea Naegle; his parents and siblings.

The family would like to express their love and gratitude to those who cared for our father and made his passing as comfortable as possible. Sadly, the family recognizes that due to Covid-19 there will not be a formal gathering.  We ask you to love and hold your loved ones tight, tomorrow is never promised. 

In lieu of flowers, and to honor Conrad’s name, the family believes in the program at the The Red Barn Academy in Farmington, Utah, 1200 W. Red Barn Lane, Farmington, UT. 84025 or use the link Red Barn Farms where donations can be made. This obituary will also be appearing in the Davis Clipper on October 2, 2020.

Go Utes! Go Jazz! and that’s the “True Story.”

Stewart Moss

On September 26, 2019, we unexpectedly lost our loving father, husband, brother, and friend when Stewart passed away in Fernley Nevada.

David Stewart Moss, born August 6, 1947, was the third of five children born to David Claude Moss and Cleo Lucille Lund. Stewart was raised on a dairy farm in Woods Cross Utah, where he learned at a young age the value of hard work and providing for family. He graduated from Bountiful High class of 1965. Stewart spent his early years working the farm, joined the Army Reserves, drove school bus for Davis County, and was a Davis County volunteer firefighter. In his free time, Stewart loved racing his El Camino at Bonneville.

Stewart married Frances Stone on February 13, 1970, and had three children: Rocksan, David, and Nitisha. Stewart and Fran divorced. He continued working and furthering his education by going to night school. Stewart met Margie Linford Crocker and her daughter, April, and married shortly thereafter on November 28, 1979. Together they had one child, Shalene. Stewart continued working for Eaton Kenway where his job required him to travel often. When he wasn’t working, you’d find him in the fields with the cows, chopping wood in the woodpile, welding a big project, riding four-wheelers, camping or rafting the Green River always surrounded by family and friends. In 1987 he took a job offer to work for Arrow Electronics and moved his family to Yaphank NY. Living on Long Island Stewart gained a true testimony and love for The Book of Mormon and The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. He had many service opportunities and callings in the church, he especially enjoyed being the ward Missionary Leader. Stewart enjoyed the friends he made in NY but the distance from Utah was too much. He transferred to Reno Nevada in 1995 and remained with Arrow Electronics until he retired in 2015. He divorced Margie and she died March 14, 2006.  He married Rosalinda Allen on April 5, 2002. They together spent his remaining years serving in their local LDS ward, traveling, and enjoying family. Stewart bravely fought and lived with kidney disease for the last 13 years, taking a huge toll on his body.  He was often tired and weak but continued to live life and love every moment.

Stewart was welcomed in heaven by his parents and two sisters Claudia, and Judy who preceded him in death. He is survived by his brother Darrell (Becky) Moss, sister Shauna (Reese) Peters, wife Rose, five children: April Crocker Zahr (Rob), Rocksan (Eric), David (Jackie), Nitisha (Andy), Shalene (Michael); five stepchildren: Andrei, Casey (Christian), Monette (Brian), Joyce (Max), Ryan (Mel) and 26 cherished grandchildren that he absolutely adored.

A memorial service will be held Thursday, October 3, 2019, at 6:00 PM at the Woods Cross Stake Center at 2064 South 800 West, Woods Cross, Utah 84087. Funeral service and interment will be held Saturday, October 5, 2019, in Sparks Nevada.

Brent Moore

Donald “Don” Brent Moore, 71, passed away suddenly on August 10, 2019, in Boise, Idaho.  He was born in Salt Lake City on August 26, 1947, to Donald F. and Charleen C. Moore.

In 1965 he graduated from Bountiful High School and enlisted in the Air Force. After being stationed in Savannah, GA, and Taipei, Taiwan, he left the service in 1971 with a rank of Sergeant. Shortly after leaving the service, he met and married his first wife, Paula Toronto. He was very proud when his beautiful daughter, Bryn, was born and he became a loving father.

Don attended the University of Utah, where he studied accounting and economics. Just shy of graduation, he left college and began a lengthy career in administration in the transportation industry. This took him to California where he met the love of his life, Irene Dillon, in 1980, and the two were married in 1985 in Eagle, Idaho. At the time of his passing they had just celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary and were making plans for a trip to Hawaii on their 35th anniversary.

After moving to Idaho, Don changed careers and began working in the plumbing supply industry in sales and inventory management positions.  Don developed a love of fishing at an early age, which he shared with his beloved grandfather, “Ba.” He loved getting out on a lake, especially Hebgen, in his kick boat and spending the day fly fishing, then assuming his well-known position as Camp Cook. He purchased a smoker and was known to ship his brisket to family members during winter holidays.

Don’s other passion was golf. During his career he played in several company tournaments and, after his retirement, played almost every day. He was also an avid reader, often finishing a book in one sitting. His sense of adventure led him to hang gliding, hot air balloon crewing, and just getting in the car with Irene to see where a road went.

Don loved playing the guitar and writing music. He played in several bands, including during his tour of duty in Taipei, where he played with Johnny Weston, who sang the Have Gun Will Travel theme song. Upon returning to the states he played in a band during college and then put his musical talents aside for several years until he began playing with the Emmaus community and then the blue grass and worship bands at his church.

With a deep devotion to God, Don was a regular participant in the Emmaus community, leading two weekend walks, and serving a term on the board. He had just begun working with the Kairos Outside group and was planning on working the upcoming event. As a Stephens Minister, he was able to use his listening and caring talents for other in need. Using his background in the plumbing and irrigation industry, he volunteered to handle the sprinkler system at his church for many years. It was a common practice for him to go the church several times during the summer to start a “zone” running to green up a patch here or there in the lawn.

Don is survived by his loving best friend and wife, Irene (Eagle, ID), his parents, Don and Charleen (Portland, OR), his siblings, Loris (Dale), Vancouver, WA, Janet (David), San Diego, Sean (Joe), Vancouver, WA, his beloved daughter, Bryn (Dan) and their family, Ronin, Bronwyn, Tess, Asher, (Denver, CO), as well as nieces and nephews and their families. Being the oldest sibling he must have determined he needed to go first and set a good example.  He was so loved and will be sorely missed by all of us.

As an option to flowers, the family would welcome donations made in Don’s name to http://www.soulriverinc.org/ a nonprofit that partners veterans with urban children to teach them fly fishing.

A memorial will be held,11:00 am, Friday, August 30, 2019 at Eagle United Methodist Church, located at 651 N. Eagle Rd., Eagle, with an inurnment beginning at 2:00 pm at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery located at 10100 N. Horseshoe Bend Rd., Boise.

Marv Blosch

    

Santa Clara - Marvin "Marv" Alan Blosch passed away Friday, August 2, 2019 at 8:14 PM in his Santa Clara, Utah home surrounded by his family and holding hands with his wife, Linda. Marv was a warrior, 72 years young, who was absolutely not ready to leave this world. He had worked hard his entire life, and continued up to the last week of his life, and still had so much more that he wanted to do. Marv had plans to take his entire family back to the Samoan Islands, where his spirit came alive as a young LDS missionary. He wanted more time to enjoy his family, especially his grandchildren, whom he loved deeply.

His family was his entire world, and the sole reason for his drive and dedication to life. The bar for Marv was always set high. He was a ten-time marathon runner, an avid hiker, an accomplished world traveler, and a successful business man. Marv truly had a love for travel and exploration of the world and imparted that love in his four daughters, organizing countless trips around the world, beautifully sharing those experiences with them. He hiked throughout Nepal and Switzerland, explored the Amazon with his best friends, Larry and Kit. He summited Kilimanjaro with his third daughter, Angela.

Marv dedicated his life to his high school sweetheart, wife, and partner of 50 years, Linda. He spent his time with her. He loved and cared for her. Playing tennis, golfing and gardening most days. They met in ninth grade at South Davis Jr. High where Linda's heart skipped a beat as soon as she saw his "baby blue eyes, and baby blue shirt". Something she said daily to him on the days that led up to his death, "Hey! Where are those baby blues?" She would laugh and try to get him to open his eyes.

Marv and Linda have lifelong friends and wish to extend a deep gratitude towards each and every one, in Bountiful, Palm Desert, and Santa Clara.

Marv was diagnosed with renal cell adenocarcinoma in April of 2018. Marv battled his metastatic cancer each day and was the ultimate warrior. Rarely complaining, he fought with every ounce of strength he had. Marv and his family extend their deepest gratitude to the cancer center and hospital in St. George, Utah. He was treated always with love, care and dignity.

Marv is survived by his wife, Linda Winegar Blosch; his four daughters: Alyssa, Amy, Angela, and Andrea; 17 Grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

We invite all those who would like to celebrate Marv's life to attend the services on Friday, August 9, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. in the Santa Clara First Ward church building, 3040 Santa Clara Dr, Santa Clara, UT 84765. A viewing will be held Friday, prior to services, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. at the church. Interment will be in the Santa Clara City Cemetery.

Kristin Lish

  

Kristin Lish, age 72, was peacefully released from this earthly life on June 13, 2019. After a life filled with travel, deep courage, fierce devotion to her family, a passion for nature and its creatures and a blessedly talented pianist, she chose to travel to Boise, Idaho in her final days to be surrounded by her loving family as she graciously passed away.

Kristin, the second of four girls, was born January 18, 1947 in the arms of the Escalante Desert in Milford, Utah to Farrel and Ruth Lish. From a young age Kristin connected deeply with animals and found solace in the beauty of nature. Following in the footsteps of her large family of talented artists, dancers, poets and musicians, at the age of 5, Kristin was playing the Battle Hymn of the Republic by ear. After moving to Bountiful, Utah with her family, Kristin began to play piano professionally, spend days with her horse and was involved with school as a student body officer. Her love for Christ was deeply nurtured as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Out of high school, a desire for adventure took her to BYU Hawaii where she fell in love with the ocean and her free spirit was nurtured. Continuing to follow her heart, Kristin travelled to Alberta, Canada where she raised her two girls, Mikel and Marni. She studied music composition and education at the University of Alberta allowing her to become a talented music teacher for many years to come. As a fiercely committed single mother, she often sacrificed her own health to provide a life filled with beauty, art, travel, spirituality, animals, education, nature and a deep connection to family for her children. With piercing blue eyes, a contagious smile, a huge expansive heart and generous spirit, she was a devoted friend to all who knew her. Selfless in her giving, Kristin lived her life for those she loved, often facilitating others life celebrations.

Kristin is survived by her beloved daughters, Mikel and Marni (Tim); grandchildren Kailey (Braiden), Tyson, Trevin and Nicholas; great grandchildren, Lilyan and Sofia-Jo; her three sisters: Sherrie, Launee and Lisa; and many family and friends that loved her dearly.

Kristin was preceded in death and welcomed with arms of grace by many loved ones including her parents, Ruth and Farrel Lish; son in law, Tyler Henderson, and her cherished animals Cinders, Queenie, Nathan, and Sager. Her music will continue to bless us and bring peaceful inspiration and comfort to the hearts of many. Per Kristin's request, she was cremated, and her ashes will be honored during a private ceremony.

"So, my friends, I say goodbye today. In my mind, heart and prayers, I will see you having courage and insights to fulfill your goals, desires, and dreams. As I told my sweet students I supervised each morning - be kind, do your very best and be happy!" Kristin Lish.
