S. MeRell Munson was born June 26th, 1986, in Logan Utah to Stanford & Lori Munson. MeRell was the first son and fourth out of five children to Stanford and Lori. He grew up in Trenton Utah and loved being on the family farm. As a child, that's where his love for farming started. When he was little, he was out with his father hauling manure with the slurry wagon. His Dad told him to stay in the tractor, and as a curious little boy he didn't listen and ended up behind the slurry wagon. He was covered in cow poop and all anyone could see was the whites of his eyes. He was able to grow up right across the street from his cousins and they were always making memories around the farm. As an adolescent and teen, he worked for Wendell Hansen. Those years were pivotal for MeRell and the Hansen family played a huge roll in his life. He had many great male influences that made a huge impression on him and Wendell was one of the many that helped mold him into the man he became. MeRell was an Eagle Scout and in 2005 Graduated from Sky View High School. He served an Honorable Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 2006-2008 In Spokane Washington. He met his sweetheart Kelsey in the spring of 2011, and they were married in May of 2012. They lived mostly in Amalga as he worked for the Munk Family Farm and in 2019 they moved to Newton where they planned to live and raise their family for the foreseeable future. He lived for the farm and hated to take time off from it. He brought his kids out to ride with him every chance he could. He wanted them to learn the value of hard work and spend as much time with them as possible. He loved his family, God, and country. He beamed what he loved & believed in every single day. Not only did he love the farm but, he loved the Munk Family deeply and was so grateful for everything they did for him and his family. MeRell died doing what he truly loved. So many knew MeRell, and he knew them. While he was driving, you couldn't help but have a brighter day when you passed him, smiling, and waving at you. He loved visiting with people on the farm or when coming home and seeing them out and about in their yards. He would stop to chat or joke about something just to get them to laugh in passing. Often, he called those stops "ministering". He had a great testimony of the gospel and shared it as often as he could. We always knew he was feeling the spirit when he had tears in his eyes. He never was afraid or ashamed to let them flow. A Statement from his wife Kelsey: "I will miss him naming off people and their connections as we pass them by and wonder how he possibly knew so many people. He always loved to join others at church for the now 4th ward meet and discussion. He loved His Ward family, this wonderful town, and this beautiful Cache Valley. I am broken-hearted for myself, our children, his mom, his siblings, my family, and all our wonderful extended family. Thank you all so much for your outpouring of love! I hope to make him proud and accept the community's help raising our kiddos. May we be guided by Our Heavenly Father and let him begin to heal our hearts." MeRell is survived by his wife Kelsey of 9 years. His son BradLee, Daughter Eliza & Son Henry. His Mother Lori Munson, Siblings; Talesha(Curtis)Swainston, Lachelle(David) Jensen, Berena(Jason)Gooch, and Tyson(Erin) Munson, Grandmother Wanda Andrew, Mother-in-law Beverly (Jerry) Godfrey, Brother, and Sisters-in-law; Chance (Kristen) Courter, Flint (Toree) Courter, Shalynn (Josh) Groll, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles.

Julie Diane Pruett, age 43, passed away suddenly on September 7, 2021 at her home in Logan, Utah. She was born in Long Beach, California on March 7, 1978 to Louis E. and Linda Barlow Pruett. She was one of eight children. When she was about eleven years old, the family moved to Utah. She graduated from Logan High School in 1996, and then went on to graduate from Stevens Henager College in nursing. Julie was the first to graduate from college in her family, and she was very proud of that. On September 7, 1996, she married Robert Snow Derrick in North Logan, Utah. They had four children and were later divorced. Julie worked in a variety of jobs, but for the past few years was employed at Caisson Laboratories in Smithfield, Utah where she was a sales representative. It was at Caisson that she met the love of her life, Michael Harman, and they were very happy together. She was full of life and will always be remembered for her wicked sense of humor and her big heart. She often took in strays in need, both human and animal, to give them love, shelter, and support. Julie found driving in the car very therapeutic and also enjoyed hiking and music. Family relationships were very important to her, and she considered many of her coworkers at Caisson to be her family. She will be sorely missed but fondly remembered. Julie is survived by her four children, all of Logan: Bobby Derrick, Ashley Mae Derrick Santana, Aaron Derrick, Lynda Derrick, and her three "adopted" children Sara, Chelle, and Matt Harman; her mother, Linda Pruett, and siblings Terry, Gennifer, Wayne, David, Heidi, Jay, and Jane Pruett.

Ann Buttars, 72, of North Logan, Utah, passed away September 9, 2021, at the University of Utah Medical Center in Salt Lake City following complications of surgery and a lifetime of diabetes. Ann was our beloved sister, aunt, friend, neighbor, and the first person we called when we needed information for a term paper or school project. She could cover a wide range of topics, from Cache Valley and early Mormon history to the chemical properties in food and medicine, with a bit of proper grammar thrown in for good measure. She was born April 15, 1949, the second daughter of Asael Melvin and Maurine Buxton Buttars. At age 3, she was diagnosed with diabetes and along with her older sister, Marilyn, the family began waging an enduring battle against the disease. She attended Lewiston Elementary and North Cache Junior High, and in 1967 she graduated from Sky View High School as part of the first class who attended all three years at the newly built school. She continued her education at Utah State University, earning bachelor's and master's degrees in home economics. Ann had a lifelong love of books and supported herself in college working at the Merrill Library. Forty-six years later, she retired from USU after having worked as a cataloger, curator and onetime department head of Special Collections and Archives, where she enjoyed working with the university's Utah and Mormon history collections. She loved interacting with students while holding the skull of the legendary grizzly Old Ephriam, or a first edition of the Book of Mormon, and helping people discover and document their genealogy. In 1973, she was diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure and began traveling to Salt Lake City every other day for dialysis since there were no options of this kind in Cache Valley. As a result, Ann became an early adopter of new medical treatments and developments. Kidney transplants were fairly novel to Utah when Ann received her first cadaver donation in 1974. It failed a few weeks later when a blood clot broke loose. A second kidney came along in 1975, and Ann extended its lifespan to 17 years with a pancreas transplant in 1986 that allowed her to live without insulin shots for the first time in many years. To avoid going back on dialysis, Ann received a third kidney transplant from her sister Lori. Grateful for the gift, Ann diligently maintained a regimen that would extend the life of the kidney, and although other aspects of her health were failing, it was still going strong 29 years later at the time of her passing. Ann had an innate and abiding faith in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was an example of strength and determination to many. She loved growing up on a farm next to her cousins in Cornish and later living next to her neighbors in North Logan. She loved entertaining - and being entertained by - her nine nieces and nephews and 24 great-nieces and great-nephews. She is survived by her sisters: Janet Garn, of Providence; Barbara and husband Dan Weston, of River Heights; and Lori Buttars, of West Bountiful. Funeral services are at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, September 15, 2021, at the North Logan 1st Ward, 1105 E. 2100 North. Friends may call at 9:30 a.m. for one hour prior to services. At Ann's request, there will be no evening viewing. She will be buried next to her parents in the Smithfield City Cemetery. To view the funeral live and to leave messages with the family, go online at www.allenmortuaries.net . The family would like to thank the many sweet friends, neighbors and cousins who made it a point to call, take her to doctor appointments, bring her food and stop by for a visit. In her honor, Ann would be thrilled if you signed up to be an organ donor, grew a garden, planted more flowers or took someone to lunch. Read more

Our precious Rosanna Pitcher Wheatley, of Preston, ID, died by accident on August 14, 2021, in Roseville, CA. She was 38 years old. Rosanna was born March 14, 1983, in Logan, Utah, the youngest of the six children of Rex and Jane Pitcher. She graduated from Preston High School where she was involved in music, theater and student government, and competed in dance and golf. She worked on the yearbook staff and even started her own photography business, taking pictures for dances and weddings. She attended Utah State University studying archaeology where she met Matthew Dean Wheatley. They were married on May 20, 2005 in the Logan Utah Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They had three cherished children and lived in Utah, Wisconsin and California. They later divorced. Rosanna found love again with Matthew Daniel Wirz, and together they had one treasured son. Motherhood was Rosanna's greatest joy in life. An attentive mother, she would sit on the floor for hours playing and reading to Oliver, Hazel, and Ruby Wheatley and August Dean Winters, who survive her. Due to having systemic lupus, she was advised not to have her last two children and her pregnancies almost took her life. However, she felt strongly that the sacrifice was worth bringing her beloved children into the world. Rosanna was a classically-trained pianist. She began playing by ear at 3, full pieces by 5, and composed music by age 8. She composed her first symphony at 12. Playing by ear, she could take any request and improvise music on the spot. She rearranged several difficult classical piano pieces. She also authored publishable, compelling poetry. A gifted seamstress, she sewed intricate quilts, clothing for her children, and household items and gifts. She believed handmade gifts made with love were the most valuable. Her creative talents also included professional-level skill in interior and floral design. Rosanna could take scrap material, metal or other discarded items and make them into artistic masterpieces. She loved gardening: having her hands in the dirt gave her great joy. She was also an avid reader of classic novels and other wide-ranging genres. Generous to a fault, Rosanna would babysit for others when she felt unwell herself. She volunteered her time and resources to many charities, notably for the Ronald McDonald House in Milwaukee, WI, and also personally cared for others in need. Along with her children, Rosanna is survived by her parents, Rex Lewis Pitcher and Jane Buttars Pitcher of Preston, ID, and her siblings Paul (Denise), Kristine, Diane, Douglas, and David Pitcher, and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. She is predeceased by her grandparents, an uncle and a nephew. Services will include a formal memorial held on Saturday, September 18, 2021 at 1 pm, located in the LDS chapel at 55 E. 100 S., in Preston, ID. Please wear a mask if you can. It will be followed by a luncheon that will include an informal opportunity for family and friends to celebrate Rosanna's life, particularly with music played by Rosanna and others. If you would like to attend the luncheon, please RSVP to PaulPitcher@me.com by Wednesday, Sept. 15. Read more

Their first child Audrey (Bryan) was born there at an inexpensive military cost of $25. After a year of flight training, an assignment came to Grand Forks North Dakota. While there a second child, Travis (Emily), was born in January of 1973. In 1974, they left the Air Force to raise their family in a more stable life style and moved to Rawlins, Wyoming where Dean could pursue a career of teaching Electronics in a high school. In Rawlins, four more children were added to their loving family; Shanna (Cody), Denise (Josh), Lynette (Shelby), and Jessica (Matt). Having traveled and lived in many places, Carlene included individuals of all personalities, races, and nationalities as her friends. She was an active member of her community and church, bringing joy and comfort to all around her. She particularly enjoyed serving the youth through camps, conferences, and sporting events. In 2003, she had the opportunity to return to Cache Valley and work as a secretary in the city office of Hyde Park. Carlene's greatest love in life was her family; especially her 24 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Carlene is finally free from medical challenges and frustrations of an auto-immune liver problem and later cancer. Her family is grateful to the many Doctors, nurses and neighbors who attended to her needs for more than 20 years as she faithfully managed these physical challenges, allowing her to continue gardening and adventuring with her family until the end. We imagine she is now walking through Heavenly gardens with her Mother enjoying the beauty that surrounds them. Funeral services will be at the North West LDS Chapel (480 N 100W) in Hyde Park, on Thursday, September 9, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Viewings will be Wednesday from 6 - 8 pm at the church and Thursday from 9:00- 10:30 Also at the church.

Wendell Joseph Liechty passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of September 1, 2021 after a long eight year battle from a stroke. He was born June 13, 1935 to Joseph Liechty and Mary Edna Cuthbert Liechty. He was the youngest of two children. His childhood was spent in Logan riding his bike and hauling his fishing pole up to first dam. He helped his dad working at Joe's Lunch, and spent the summers up on the ranch in American Falls working for his brother in law. He loved to play baseball and was an amazing artist. He spent his entire childhood being mischievous. He spent more time up Logan Canyon hunting, fishing, and skiing with his buddies than anything else. Wendell met the love of his life Cheryl Fisher on a blind date set up by her brother-in-law. She stayed home and held down the fort when he was drafted in the Army in 1958 and served for two years in Garmisch, Germany. He was assigned special duty on the Army Ski Patrol in Garmisch. He was a member of the Beaver Mountain Ski Patrol for over sixty five years and earned his National number, #2918. He valued and treasured all the great associations at Beaver Mountain. His passions in life were golfing, hunting, fishing and skiing. He went up to Alaska every year for thirty years hauling home tons of salmon and halibut. He was a proud part owner of Bridgerland Plumbing Supply for twenty years, when that was sold he continued to work for other supply houses in the valley. He absolutely loved hosting and spending time with his family and friends at his beloved cabin in Bear Lake, making memories with all the kids, grandkids and their friends. He was an excellent cook. His breakfast at the cabin was legendary. Making "belly pads" spiked with beer, a side of dead hog and embryos of unborn fowl. His jerky recipes were famous. He taught his kids and grandkids how to clean animals and trim them up for jerky "roadkill" at a young age. He was always out hunting for wood, and there was never a dead tree that didn't catch the attention of his chainsaw. He worked his kids and grandkids hard over the years hauling, splitting, and stacking wood. You could always find him cruising around with a "road soda" on the 4-wheeler, looking for somebody to visit with. Wendell is survived by his amazing wife Cheryl Fisher Liechty of sixty four years, and children Tonya (Todd) Benson, Julie (Todd) Chapman, Mike (Laura) Liechty, Steven (Cami) Liechty.

On Saturday, August 28, 2021, Heaven gained an angel and became a lot brighter when our beloved mother, grandmother, aunt and friend Carol Seamons Howells, died peacefully at the age of 95. Carol Seamons Howells was born in Hyde Park, Utah, a daughter of Harvey and Melba Olney Seamons. She was raised in Hyde Park and attended school in Smith field and Richmond. She was a graduate of North Cache High School. After high school, she became employed by Sears Roebuck Company. She was also introduced to the love of her life, Del Howells. They were married in the Logan Temple on March 19, 1948. After their marriage, they resided in Paradise, Utah. Del bought his dad's farm in Avon and started a dairy farm. Carol worked side by side with him for many years. They were blessed with four wonderful children: Janet (deceased), Rodney (deceased), Garth and Mark. Spending time with family was the most treasured part of Carol's life. Carol is a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She served in the Primary and Relief Society. She enjoyed visiting teaching and working in the library at church on Sundays for many years. Her testimony of the Savior was shown in her actions of service and kindness to anyone she met. Whether Carol knew you or not, she was your friend. There's no one on this earth who was as nice, kind, caring, friendly and pleasant as Carol. She could find a bright side in any situation and tried to face even the darkest times with a smile. Carol belonged to the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (DUP). She was proud to be a descendent of pioneer ancestors. Her Grandma Seamons crossed the plains with the Willie Handcart Company. Carol was always proud to say she'd lived with a pioneer since her Grandma Seamons lived with her family until her death right before Carol was married. Carol made many lifelong friends in DUP and loved the associations she had there. Carol was a pristine housekeeper. We always knew her floor was clean enough to eat off since she scrubbed it on hands and knees every day. We're pretty sure that's how she wore out her hip, which was replaced when she was 89 years old. She was also a wonderful cook. Her hot rolls, bread. pies, fudge and divinity were famous. Music was a big part of Carol's life. She was an incredible pianist. She tried to make us feel bad, telling us how she only had lessons for 10 months, but nobody could play the piano anywhere near as good as she could even with many years of piano lessons! She enjoyed playing in a band with her dad and accompanied many people, played for funerals, in church, and for many other occasions. She also sang with Del as he played his steel guitar. She and Del shared their talents with many people through her life. In their later years, they made two CDS which will be treasured by their family forever. Carol also loved to dance, which unfortunately came to somewhat of an end when she wore out Del's knees. After almost 68 years of marriage, Del passed away in 2016. Carol missed him terribly but continued to be active and enjoy time with her family. In April of 2018, Carol's health required her to move into Blacksmith Fork Assisted Living. She made so many friends with the residents and staff there. We are forever grateful for the care she received. They helped her continue dancing, from her wheelchair to her recliner. We know her life was extended because of it and blessed us with many more memories. Carol is survived by her sons, Garth Howells and Mark (Lori) Howells, sister, Ramona Lamb, daughter-in-law, Carol Smith, 12 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grandchildren. She was proceeded in death by her husband, Del Howells, parents, Harvey and Melba Seamons, son, Rodney Howells, daughter, Janet Ohlwiler, son-in-law, Alan Ohlwiler, her great-grandson, McKay Pearce, her brothers and their wives, Ervin (LaRane), Tick (Rhonda), Clynn (Jean) and Val, and brother-in-law, Earl Lamb We know there was a joyous reunion with these loved ones, especially her children who she loved and has missed so very much.

Celebrating the Life of Kitty K. Silvernagel Kitty Kay Silvernagel, beloved mother, devoted wife, trusted confidant, pie maker extraordinaire, family history expert, easy listening music lover, fearsome card player, and eternal friend to all who knew her, peacefully lost her battle with cancer on Friday evening, August 27th, 2021, surrounded by her loving family in Preston, Idaho. She recently celebrated her 81st birthday. Kitty was born on June 18th, 1940 in Springfield, Ohio to Marguerite A. Knotts and Edward L. Williams. She was their only child growing up in the wake of the Great Depression. As a child, she loved playing marbles in the alley behind her home and collected the neighborhood cats as her own until her mother discovered they were the source of her allergies and asthma. She especially loved the 1950's with its iconic style, music, and dance, especially Elvis Presley. She graduated high school in 1958 in Springfield, Ohio. Soon after she landed her dream job at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Fairborn, Ohio as a clerk stenographer. For the next 30 years, she served her country in the U.S. and the Philippines, eventually becoming the Administrative Assistant to the Commander of the National Air and Space Intelligence Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. While working at Wright Patterson, Kitty met a handsome airman, Leonard C. Silvernagel. To quote from her journal "He would tell you that I pursued him, but believe me, it was the opposite". Kitty and Leo were married in Springfield, Ohio at St. Bernard's Catholic Church on January 13th, 1962. They are the proud parents of 4 daughters, 10 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren.

Garwood Hyde Walton passed from this world into a better one on August 27, 2021. He was born in Salt Lake City on October 9, 1936, to Lester G. and Ruth Hyde. He spent his childhood in Centerville surrounded by grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and many friends. He hunted, skied, and tinkered with old cars, but the majority of his young life was spent working in the fields and stores of Porter-Walton company where he learned to be responsible and industrious. He attended school in Centerville and Bountiful and graduated from Davis High; he disliked the classroom until he moved to Logan to attend Utah State where he discovered that when he could choose his line of study, learning became fascinating, and he cherished his years there. He was president of Alpha Kappa Psi, honorary business fraternity. He served his life-changing mission in Melbourne, Australia where he made enduring friendships and became the Assistant to the President; he often spoke of his one-on-one time with then Apostle Joseph Fielding Smith . His children comment that he continued to speak of his mission more than anyone else they knew. One of his favorite recollections was playing with the Mormon Yankee basketball team, who were victorious over several teams from various countries who came to Melbourne to participate in the Olympics. Upon his release he and two other elders spent two months traveling around the world which only increased his love of travel. Soon after his return to college when he was "studying" at the USU Merrill Library, he spotted a young lady from Mink Creek, ID, and that was the end of his search for a life-long and eternal companion. Their courtship was short and blissful, and they were married on September 16, 1960, in the Logan Temple. Their 61-year-marriage was filled with much love, loyalty, tenderness, and devotion. After he completed his MBA degree and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the U. S. Army , he and LeAnn were assigned to go to Germany because of the buildup of the Berlin Wall. He loved serving his country and was always very patriotic. It was an exciting time for the young couple as they traveled to most European countries; Gar became President of their tiny Butzbach Branch and LeAnn Primary President where their testimonies and their tight circle of friends enlarged. But the most thrilling thing that happened there was the birth of their first child, a beautiful boy they named David, who joined them in their travels. Gar's family has all agreed that he was a truly unique man in many ways. He had an insatiable curiosity about many subjects and spent his life studying and learning; he maintains a running list of thousands of books he has read. He studied maps for hours on end and was known as a weather geek. He was a master gardener and his large yard beside the Logan River was the envy of many. He could fix anything. He was by nature a very optimistic person. He endured a period of many health problems and other hardships but never faltered in his positive outlook, making him a very resilient and admired man. He was an advocate of the underdog. Throughout his young life his fondest desire was to become a pilot in the Air Force, but when he failed to pass the vision test, he went forward and acquired his private pilot's license. He owned several planes and actually built one of his own. He flew himself, family (excluding his wife) and friends thousands of miles, and actually lived to tell about it. He was a true "wing"nut. Their young family lived in Salt Lake for several years where he was a stockbroker and where their son, John and daughter, Allison were born. They purchased their first home and were very content there when he received a call from his friend, the Dean of the College of Business at USU, and an offer to teach finance classes there. They happily moved back to Logan, built a lovely home on the Island and lived there together for 51+ years. Three more children were welcomed to their family: Emily, Sam (stillborn), and Amy LeAnn. There were never more beloved children than they. His sons looked up to him, and he had three Daddy's girls. In later years he was very proud of his children--what they had become and their considerable accomplishments His Patriarchal blessing mentioned that most of his Church callings would be in serving the youth of the Church. He was Young Men president several times, scoutmaster over six years where his sons greatly benefitted and both received Eagle Scout awards. He took countless young men to the Wind Rivers and hiked hundreds of miles, taught many to rappel down rugged cliffs, and gained love and respect from all involved. He served in various bishoprics and loved being bishop of a USU young adult ward. He and LeAnn served a joyous public affairs mission in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, then became supervisors in the Church humanitarian program; later they worked together for four years as officiators in the Logan Temple. Gar was an unusually friendly, approachable, and affable person. It can be said that he never met a stranger. Gar loved his wife and children beyond measure and was a superb husband, father and grandfather. (His wife also thought him to be not only tall, but handsome and comely). When he was with individual family members, they received his undivided time and interest. Cherished memories of him are endless. Notwithstanding his many fine characteristics, his sterling quality was that of total honesty and integrity, and his unfaltering faith and testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is survived by his loving wife LeAnn; his precious children David (Laura); John (Kristen); Allison (Scott Erickson); Emily (Rich Geertsen); and Amy (Brett McAllister); twenty-three beloved grandchildren, four great-grandchildren; his brother Fredrick; sisters-in-law Carolyn Hill, Eleanor Kirkbride, Susan Auger; brothers-in-law Michael Jepsen (Mary Ann) and Jonathan Jepsen (Portia), beloved nieces and nephews, and many kind friends and noble neighbors. He was preceded in death by his parents and his beloved little sister Judy.

Darrel James Winningham December 21, 1931- August 26, 2021. Darrel was born in Medford, Oregon. He grew up in logging camps and then worked at a logging camp during his early years. He later settled in Yreka, CA and was a delivery driver for CalGas, drove for Stage (a commuter bus line), ran his own yard business, and then later worked in the sawmill. He married Joan MacWilliams in 1982 and they moved to Phoenix, Arizona until they retired to "full-time RV". They loved RV'ing and traveling throughout the western states. In 2011 they parked the RV and settled in Logan, UT. Darrel loved to fish, hunt, sing and play his harmonicas. In 2002 Darrel's life changed dramatically when at 70 years old he accepted Jesus as his Savior. While in the logging camps he had heard the gospel but felt that it wasn't for him. As the result of numerous conversations, he realized his need for forgiveness and became a new creation in Christ. He loved to study the Bible together with Joan each day. Darrel loved breakfast, especially Saturday morning's men's breakfast/Bible study and breakfast with his "old geezer's club" on Thursday mornings. He enjoyed making brownies and brought them to every church potluck. Darrel and Joan's blended family included Colleen Baker, Bruce Winningham (Leslie), Ward Winningham, Mark Winningham, Darcie Peterson (Eldon), Patti Brooks (Ellis), Marji MacWilliams (deceased), 12 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank Williamsburg Retirement and CNS Home Health & Hospice for their care of Darrel during his last few years.

She was always making food for neighbors, friends, and even the traveling salesman should they have knocked on her door. When visiting her home you would never leave hungry and most likely had a plate for the next day too. She was an excellent cook. Everyone loved her homemade pickles, apple pandowdy, homemade fruit juices, fruitcake and her many baked sweets. Her fudge was famous all around the area as was her homemade zupfe. Friends far and wide would covet her famous zupfe and often left with a loaf after a visit. Hedy was a faithful and life long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She has served as ward pianist and organist for most of her adult life, a primary teacher, and relished in temple work in her later years. Hedy's greatest joy was her family. She loved having them all over and spoiling her grandchildren. Rarely was there a visit with the grandchildren where they didn't walk away with too much candy, sugar cereal, ice cream, or soda.
