October 6, 1932 — April 23, 2020

Emory (Earl) Rhoads, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle and true friend, passed away peacefully at home on April 23, 2020, surrounded by his family in St. George, Utah.

He was a man, who, like a cat, had nine lives or possibly more, after surviving a plane crash, a brain tumor, multiple heart surgeries, and raising four sons and one daughter with his best friend and eternal companion of 64 years, Barbara Jean (Leavitt) Rhoads. 

He was born a whopping 13 pounds and 25 inches long on Oct. 6, 1932, in Willard, New Mexico to Ruby Earl Waren and William Emory Rhoads. He was the oldest of four children and had a childhood full of trials and several moves, but those hard times were eclipsed by memories of baseball, music and outdoor adventure with his extended family and loving lessons of wisdom in regards to respect for authority and women from his dear father. 

He was drafted his senior year of high school for the Korean War. He joined the Air Force and finished basic training in California. He then attended radio school and was awarded flight status from the University of Alaska after helicopter school. He served in a helicopter squadron at numerous Air Force bases until being discharged at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. He loved his country greatly, and even in his later years said that “If my country needs me in any capacity, I am ready to go.” At the time of discharge, his rank was Buck Sergeant. 

He worked many jobs in his lifetime, all of which required hard work with his hands and a deep knowledge of machinery, mechanics and woodcraft. 

He was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Feb. 13, 1958. He married his wife and was later sealed to her for eternity in the St. George, Utah Temple on June 27, 1959. He loved God and served with unflinching faith in many teaching capacities in the church and his most memorable callings are the 20 years that he served with the Aaronic Priesthood. 

His greatest joy was his family. He and his wife were blessed with five children: Steven (JC), Brian (Sally), Daniel (Valerie), Shelly (Dale), and Daryl (Jenna). He leaves behind a beautiful progeny of 29 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren who will miss his outlandish stories and quirky wood carvings. We love you Grump. Until we meet again. 

He is preceded in death by his parents, two sons, and grandson. Interment will be in the Tonaquint Cemetery.

November 9, 1936 — April 23, 2020

Douglas Kent Hannig passed away on April 23, 2020, at age 83. He was born on Nov. 9, 1936, in Pioche, Nevada to Rhea Thayne and Hyrum Smith Hannig. Doug loved his parents and three sisters and was very proud of his heritage.

When Doug was a boy, his family moved to Washington, Utah to be near his grandparents. He attended school in St. George where he made many lifelong friends and was affectionately known as “one of the Washington boys.” 

After high school, Doug moved to Las Vegas where he and his wife Nancy raised their family. Doug spent his career as a truck driver in Las Vegas for over 30 years. When he retired, Doug moved back to Washington and became reacquainted with Dawne Staheli (Ivie). They were married in 1994. Doug and Dawne spent many happy years together until they were separated by illness in 2019. 

Doug loved cars and owned many nice vehicles over the years. He liked to collect classic model cars and go to car shows. In his later years, he enjoyed working in his yard, putting together model trains, and driving his Chevy pickup, often to meet his friends for breakfast. Doug was easy to like and will be remembered by many for his kind, gentle and nonjudgmental manner.

Doug is survived by his son Douglas (Jennifer) of Henderson, Nevada, his daughter Shannon Price of Richmond, Texas, and his sister Vickie Peterson (Marc) of Reno, Nevada. He was preceded in death by his wife Dawne, his first wife Nancy, his daughter Kristy, his sisters Carolyn Johnson and Brenda Madsen, and his beloved dog Kelly.

July 26, 1924 — April 22, 2020

There’s a quote that reads: “In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, no one else will ever fill”. Never has a truer statement been said.

Barbara June Novaria Werner, born July 26, 1924, reunited with her sweet husband and eternal companion, as well as family, on April 22, 2020. Oh, what a sweet reunion.

While we are sad to see her go, we take comfort in knowing that because of our Savior and Redeemer our families can be eternal, living together forever.

Bobbie was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Alongside her husband, she served many full-time missions. She truly was a Christ-centered woman who loved to serve those around her.

Her love was strong, pure and always unconditional. In life, she had many talents, but few came close to her love of playing the piano and organ, tending to her beautiful roses and somehow always getting the upper hand in rummy.

Bobbie is preceded in death by her loving husband, Ernest; son, Randy; son-in-law, Grady; son-in-law, Greg; and daughter-in-law, Susan. She leaves behind five amazing children: Donald (Michelle) Werner, Larry (Carma) Werner, Thomas (Elaine) Werner, Linda (Greg-deceased) Sharp and Wendee (Grady-deceased) Barnhardt.

She was blessed in life to have been able to love, guide and nurture 30 favorite grandchildren, 50 favorite great-grandchildren, and one favorite great-great-grandchild.

The family would like to give special thanks to her St. George 7th Ward family, her caring doctors and the amazing staff at Ridgeview Gardens Assisted Living Center, who loved and cared for her in the best way possible.

Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, a private family gathering will take place at Tonaquint Cemetery. Those who would like to may participate via live stream through ZOOM starting at approximately 11 a.m. on Friday, May 1, 2020.

Memorial contributions may be sent to Metcalf Mortuary.

April 17, 1926 — April 25, 2020

Our beloved, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Lucille Dean Smith, age 94, successfully completed her earthly mission on April 25, 2020, in St. George, Utah. 

Lucille was born April 17, 1926, in Safford, Arizona, second child to Clifford Arnold Dean Sr. and Debra Matthews Dean. She was sealed in the Mesa, Arizona Temple to George Humphries Smith (later divorced). Together they had six children.

She graduated from high school and attended Gila College in Thatcher, Arizona. She began teaching at 19 years old. Lucille loved being a teacher and prided herself in being able to teach all her Kindergartners to read before going to first grade. She was a champion of phonics, which was the key to this success.  

Lucille was always happy to learn as a child and loved seeing that many of her students enjoyed coming to school and learning from her. She kept their attention by doing fun songs and fingerplays. During her career, she taught mostly Kindergarten but also taught other elementary grades. She taught in the Gifted and Talented program as well.

While she had young children, Lucille taught school to support her husband while he got his bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees. She taught in Provo, Utah, Mesa, and Queen Creek Arizona, and retired after teaching 17 years in St. George. 

Lucille was very crafty and made all her materials for teaching. She was a great seamstress and loved playing/teaching the piano and singing.

She loved to do family history and temple work. She loved sharing family stories with everyone. Lucille was very proud of her pioneer heritage and enjoyed telling anyone who would sit with her for a minute. Lucille loved her Heavenly Father and was blessed to always have a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ from when she was very young. She has always been a faithful, devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She willingly accepted and served in numerous callings. She loved the Savior and strived to pattern her life after Him. It was important to her that her children and grandchildren knew of her testimony and her love of the gospel. She lived in such a way that we never questioned her dedication. She displayed unwavering faith in her Savior, especially as she faced numerous trials and challenges. She taught everyone around her the benefit of a good attitude even when facing tremendous trials and had the ability to find the good and blessings that come from very difficult situations. 

Lucille was preceded in death by her parents Clifford A. Dean Sr. and Debra Matthews Dean, her sister Wilma Stone, her brother Clifford A. Dean Jr., great-grandson Caeman, and grandchildren Maria-Jose and Paul.

She is survived by her children JoLou Farnham, Shannon Williams, Pamela Divett (Bill), Deanna Bentley, Katrina Prestwich (Blaine), Courtney Smith (Erica). 

Lucille has 29 grandchildren, nine step-grandchildren, 46 great-grandchildren, 23 step-great-grandchildren. 

Near the end of her life, one of Lucille’s daughters showed her a picture of Jesus, and asked her, “Mom, who is this?” Lucille touched the picture, got teary and said, “I can’t wait to see Him!”

We miss her with all of our hearts, yet we know that she has been received into the  everlasting arms of our Lord Jesus Christ and is hearing “Well done thou good and faithful servant.”

She will be interred in the Washington City Cemetery. A private family graveside service will be held.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Humanitarian Fund.  And please show extra kindness now and always, and have a positive attitude, just as Lucille would have done.

May 10, 1926 — April 28, 2020

Thelma Faye Barton Henrie, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, aunt and true friend to many, passed away peacefully on April 28, 2020, at the age of 93 in St. George Utah. 

Faye was born on May 10, 1926, to Thelma Huntington Barton and Kenneth Asa Barton in Beaver Utah. She was named after her mother, Thelma, but throughout her life was known as “Faye.” She married her eternal companion, Keith Larsen Henrie, on March 1, 1946, in Logan Utah after a whirlwind courtship while they were students at Utah State University, Logan Utah. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Manti Utah Temple. This year they celebrated their 74th wedding anniversary. 

Faye was raised in Beaver, Utah where she enjoyed her life surrounded by a loving family. She attended Belnap Elementary School and graduated from Beaver High School in 1944, where she was the first female student body president.

From an early age, she enjoyed music and was blessed with a beautiful singing voice. Some of Faye’s fondest memories were of the family gathering around the piano at night and singing together. Faye (age five) started singing and performed duets with her sister, Jane (age three) at many events and church gatherings. As Faye entered her high school years, she performed in numerous musicals. One of her favorite performances was taking the lead in “Malinka of Astrakhan.” After graduating from High School, Faye attended Utah State University but soon realized that she wanted to advance her career in music. She was accepted into the Boston Conservatory of Music where she focused in vocal training.

After Faye and Keith married in 1946, it was just the beginning of an adventurous life together. Faye’s father, Ken Barton, was in the process of moving his cattle operation from Beaver to Cherry Creek, Nevada and asked if they would like to become a part of it. Their firstborn, Dale, arrived during this time at the ranch and their second son, Kim, arrived four years later. Life on the ranch was strenuous, which included cooking meals three times a day on a wood stove, washing hired men’s clothing with a gas engine primitive washer with the added bonus of outside toilet facilities. Soon Keith added electricity and an indoor bathroom to the home. After four years on the ranch, they decided to shift gears and move their family to California to pursue a career in Aeronautical Engineering.

While in Pasadena, their son Dale contracted polio and Faye devoted all of her time and energy to his recovery. After completing their schooling there, they made their next home in Granada Hills, California where their first daughter, Melissa, was born. They made their next home in Orange County California where Keith continued his career in the aerospace industry and their second daughter, Shawna, was born.

Faye dedicated her life to creating a beautiful home with artistic flair for her family, was interested in gardening and plants, and had a special love for all kinds of birds. She loved watching them as they fed from her multiple feeders. She loved the arts, eclectic style, always set a beautiful table and was quick to smile and always cared about others before herself. 

She supported her husband in his career and church assignments and loved being a homemaker and caring for her children. Throughout the years in California, Faye was involved in music whether it was leading, conducting choirs or singing in church and many other musical productions. Faye sang solos in church services, Christmas programs and funerals throughout her adult years. It gave her much joy to serve and share her musical gifts. Faye and Keith served a mission at the Family History Center in Salt Lake City, Utah for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After finishing their mission, they made their new home in San Ramon California where they lived for 10 years. Both Faye and Keith enjoyed serving in the Oakland California temple as ordinance workers. Their final homes were in Lehi and Washington, Utah where they spent separate winters and summers. 

Faye is survived by her husband, Keith Henrie, her children, Dale (Marty) Henrie, Kim (Linda) Henrie, Melissa (Jack) McIntyre and Shawna Henrie. Faye was blessed in life to be able to love, guide and nurture her 19 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. We are blessed to know that grandma Faye will help usher in a new great-grandson and a great-great-grandson from the other side of the veil in a few weeks. Faye is survived by her sister, Kaye (Stan) Barton Bailey and her brother Brent (Joyce) Barton. She was preceded in death by her brother, John Barton and sister, Jane Barton Jensen. Faye was also preceded in death by her granddaughter, Jessica Lynne McIntyre and great-granddaughter, Sadie Rose Henrie. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a private family service to honor her will take place at Washington City Cemetery. 

Arrangements entrusted to the care of Metcalf Mortuary, (435) 673-4221. Please visit our website at www.metcalfmortuary.com for condolences and complete obituary. Live streaming of the service will be available on our website, Friday, May 1, 2020, at noon.

May 8, 1920 — April 23, 2020

Donna Will Brown Schaefer was a wonderful combination of southern genteel and mid-western simplicity. She passed away peacefully in the home she shared with her daughter in St. George, Utah, April 23, 2020, just shy of her 100th birthday.

Donna was the first-born child of Donna Matilda Clanton Brown and James William Brown on May 8, 1920, in Cordele, Georgia, and was raised in Lakeland, Florida, where she cultivated a love of water and the beach. One of her favorite things was to sit on the beach under a big umbrella with a good book and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the ocean.

Donna absolutely loved to read. She walked by herself to the library as a young girl and hid under her covers with a book and a flashlight at night. She has read her favorite book, Les Miserables, in both English and French, though her all-time favorite author was John Grisham. She excelled in school and graduated with distinction from Florida State College for Women with a double major Social Work and Political Science in 1943. Her favorite course was Constitutional Law. She planned to move to Washington, D.C. and pursue a career in politics, but her plan was intercepted by a charming soldier, Corporal William “Bill” Schaefer, who courted and married her in 1943.

Donna moved to L.A. with Bill, who was transferred there, and while working at the Ration Office she soon became pregnant with their first child. Donna moved in with Bill’s parents in Indiana when Bill was deployed to Europe for D-Day, and when he returned their first child, William (“Skip”) was 18 months old. The next child, Carol, was born less than a year later in a hospital so crowded there were beds in the halls! Donna and Bill had five more girls (Catherine, Cynthia, Christine, Cherie and Celeste) while in Indiana, and Donna spent several years raising her children on a small farm.

The family relocated to Cambridge, and then to Zanesville, Ohio, where Donna used her training to begin a career in social work with the State Hospital, then Muskingum Co. Children’s Services, eventually becoming the Director of the Muskingum Co. Children’s Services. She later worked at the Muskingum Co. Juvenile Court as well. Sometimes, Donna would “bring her work home with her,” and her children remember often waking to find one of Donna’s wards sleeping on the living room sofa while Child Services worked to find another safe place for them.

In Zanesville, Donna gave birth to twin boys, John and James, bringing the total to nine children. Donna and Bill were devoted to their family, and this led them to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while in Ohio. Donna served in many positions including Relief Society President and Junior Sunday School President. Even after Bill passed away in 1971 and Donna continued to raise their children alone, she remained a devoted member of the church, serving a proselyting mission in Montreal in 1986, and a few years later, at the Washington, D.C. temple. She loved to read about church history and theology and visited several church histories sites.

Donna remained quick-witted and pleasant to the last moments of her life. She lived independently into her 90s in St. George, Utah, before moving in with her daughter, Celeste. She once said her favorite tree was the olive tree “because they can survive in almost any climate, have a long life, and give much nourishment.” Her family remembers her possessing these qualities, and also being a peaceful woman, much like the symbolic olive branch.

Her memory will be treasured by her surviving family, including her children, William Frank Schaefer (Bobbi), Christine Ellen Rosenberg (Abraham), Cherie Jean Wheeler (Brian), Celeste Edith Tolman (the late Larry Tolman), John Paul Schaefer, and James Robert Schaefer, as well as 27 grandchildren, 47 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren, with a third expected in June. She is preceded in death by her parents, husband, brother, James Harold “Bumps” Brown, daughters Carol Lynn Schaefer, Catherine Ann Longstroth, and Cynthia Louise Harp, as well as two great-grandchildren.

Due to the recent health mandates for travel and gatherings, there will be a graveside service for family only. We ask that friends and family visit the Facebook group, Donna Schaefer Memorial, to share memories and messages. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to your local library.

January 22, 1952  — May 03, 2020

In loving memory…

Helene Chadburn, age 68, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her siblings and loved ones on May 03, 2020. 

Helene was born in St. George, Utah on Jan. 22, 1952, to Eugene and Nola Chadburn. Nola had stopped breathing after the birth of Helene and had to be resuscitated four times. Helene was merely more than 5 pounds when she was born and so weak that doctors thought she would never leave the hospital. Helene was definitely a force to be reckoned with. At age 2, Helene had a fall, causing a severe head injury and her head began to quickly swell. She was rushed to the LDS Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City where a shunt was placed to drain the fluid to prevent further brain damage. Being the miracle Helene is, her head stopped swelling, and, except for her eyesight, there was no apparent damage to her brain. The fall left Helene legally blind and she had to learn to walk all over again.

Helene attended the Utah School for the Blind in Ogden, Utah for five years where she could learn to cope and live with her blindness and physical limitations. Helene then returned home to St. George to attend Dixie High School for her senior year and graduate with her peers.

Helene volunteered at Dixie College in the teacher training pre-school program from 1972 to 2004. In 1990, she received the Utah State Governor’s Silver Bowl Award for Volunteerism. In 1996, she received the Distinguished Service Award from Dixie College for her 24 continuous years of volunteer service at the pre-school training center. Helene was the happiest being around children and making them feel loved and special. The children at the pre-school loved and adored her dearly. They were always excited to see “Miss Helene.” She touched thousands of lives through her many years of volunteering at the pre-school.

Helene helped in the nursery at the LDS church, where she was a member. She loved being around the children the most. 

Helene could keep track of everyone’s birthdays, anniversaries, phone numbers, you name it! She knew. Everyone would call Helene to be reminded whose birthday was coming up. Helene loved listening to the radio and listening to the Jazz, BYU and other basketball teams play. She would count on her abacus and call everyone she knew daily.

Helene is proceeded in death by her loving parents, grandparents Lewis and Mildred Bowler, grandparents Fredrick and Harriet Chadburn, and nephew Trevis Chadburn. She is survived by her siblings: Phillip (Lisa) Chadburn of Logan, Utah, Danny (Cheryl) Chadburn of St. George, Utah, De Lynn (Rone) Jessop of Veyo, Utah, and many other family members. 

Helene’s services will be held at Spilsbury Mortuary on May 07, 2020. A viewing will take place from 9:30-10:30 a.m. with a private family service at 11 a.m.

Arrangements have been made under the direction of Spilsbury Mortuary, 110 S. Bluff St. St George, Utah 435-673-2454. You are welcome to sign his online guestbook at www.spilsburymortuary.com

Guenavere Allen Sandberg, age 90, passed away at St George, Utah on May 4, 2020. She entered earth life in Cedar City, Utah on Oct. 4, 1929.

Gwen grew up in Circleville, Utah, surrounded by loving parents Irvin and Alice Wilson Allen, Aunt Carrie, Aunt Jessie, Uncle Lee and Uncle Vick down on the corner. She graduated from Utah State Agricultural College 1951. Gwen married George Woodard Sandberg on Aug. 22, 1951, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Together they reared five children.

Gwen taught school (elementary, high school, Utah State University and College of Southern Utah which later became Southern Utah University). Meanwhile, she pursued her own education earning a Master of Education degree at Utah State in 1965. For 15 years, Gwen was Publications Director for the Utah Shakespearean Festival. Following retirement in 1990, Gwen and Woody served three LDS service missions; two to Laie, Hawaii, and one near their home in New Harmony.

Her children are Sonja (Stephen Pyne), Queen Creek Arizona; Terrel, New Harmony Utah; Cris (Wendy Hanson), St Helens Oregon; Jabe (René Comp), Chandler Arizona; Eric, Palmdale California.

Near the end of her life, Gwen considered her greatest accomplishment to be her 65-year marriage to the love of her life, as well as the five educated, faithful and loving children who survive her. Along with spouses, 11 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren, this family represents Gwen’s reward. Two much-loved siblings also survive: Jetta Brewer-Huber, Anchorage, Alaska and Mauna Proctor, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Gwen’s husband Woody, her sister Sandra Tebbs and brother Bruce Allen preceded her in death.

Interment will be at the New Harmony, Utah cemetery on Friday, May 8, 2020, following a short graveside service.  Family and friends will be invited to a memorial service for larger groups to be held in the future and are invited to share condolences online at www.serenitystg.com.  Arrangements and memorial tree planting are under the direction of Serenity Funeral Home, St. George of Southern Utah, 435-986-9100.

May 5, 1935 — May 3, 2020

Ronald Albert Barr passed away in his home, on May 3, 2020, just two days shy of his 85th birthday, surrounded by his loving family. Ronald was born to the late Jasper Leroy Barr, Myla Inga Horsley, and their children Jasper Leroy Barr the second, Ruth Tripp, and Richard Barr on May 5, 1935, in Salt Lake City Utah. After Myla’s passing, Jasper was married to Virginia Delphine Hansen. Together they had four children, Betty, Patsy, Keith, and Mike.

One of Ron’s treasured memories with his family was during long drives in the car where they would sing church hymns at the top of their lungs; with great harmony.

Ron was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, and attended South High school where he met the love of his life, Georgiann Barr. In his high school years, Ron’s natural strength led him to entertain many with his tumbling and gymnastic skills which Georgia referred to as “showing off.” After high school, Ron enlisted in the U.S. Navy where he was stationed on the U.S.S Logan, where he trained to be a gunner. During that time, Ron and Georgia’s love continued to grow and he was able to marry his sweetheart Georgia on April 11 1955. They were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City temple.

They made Salt Lake City Utah their home where Ron worked delivering windows; after many other jobs of hard work, he turned his once childhood memories of doing construction, into a lifelong profession and love. Ron’s favorite part of the job was being able to help his own children and family build, remodel, or repair their homes. After his body starting to get worn down from the years of hard work Ron appointed himself the neighborhood superintendent. He spent hours upon hours on his patio with his binoculars, mentally running the construction crews. He didn’t just settle to only be the jack of all trades; he was the master of all trades.

Ron was an extremely hard-working man and did all he could to provide for his family. Building was his profession, his hobby, and his life. He was most happy in his work boots and white coveralls. When he wasn’t building, you could find him in his chair reading anything from Louis L’Amour to science fiction.

Ron’s greatest joy was being a husband, dad, grandpa, and great-grandpa. Family came first, and he proved his love and loyalty every day by his actions. He treasured Georgia and being her best friend, Ron is survived by his wife of 65 years, his three sons, and five daughters; Ronnie, Brenda, JayDee, Shauna, Mark, Lana, Kristi and Kari. He loved his family unconditionally and treasured teaching them. One of his biggest accomplishments was when the boys were old enough to learn, he had the opportunity to teach his craft, and pass on the construction bug; that they took with them into adulthood. As his children grew up our family got larger; Ron and Georgia were given 29 grandchildren and (soon to be) 29 great-grandchildren. Ron loved his grandchildren and could always be found hugging, teasing, or teaching them and the rest of the family things that will never be forgotten.

Ronald was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; serving diligently in all his church callings. He was especially proud of serving as a stake missionary with his wife Georgia. Together they served at the Lindon storehouse, preparing and feeding the staff. Among his many callings, his favorite was serving as a Boy Scout leader. Whether it was wrestling, kayaking or handstand walking; when it came to those boys, he never backed down from any challenge; and if they knew he was cooking, they would come. Ron was known for his willingness to help anyone in need. His life exemplifies the true love of Christ, and he will fondly be remembered for his example of goodness to all who knew him. We love you more, and cannot wait till we meet again.

Graveside services will be held Friday, May 8, 2020. (Family only) The viewing will be held at 1 p.m. at Memorial Lake Hills 10055 State Street, Sandy, Utah.

August 25, 1936 — May 2, 2020

Ann Joyce Wittwer Whittaker, sweet mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, niece and friend passed away peacefully on May 2, 2020, at the age of 83. Joyce was born on Aug. 25, 1936, the firstborn of Lester Guy and Vanola Gubler Wittwer, in St. George, Utah.

Joyce grew up in Santa Clara, Utah and attended Santa Clara Elementary School. Her family moved to Las Vegas in September 1948.  They returned to Santa Clara in 1952 where Joyce graduated second in her class from Dixie High School. Joyce attended Dixie Junior College. 

Joyce married Ronald Edward Prisbrey in 1956. They moved to Salt Lake City where they both worked for Milne Truck Lines. Joyce was assistant to the head accountant. While living in Salt Lake, they were blessed with four children — Leslie Ann, Douglas Ronald, Brent Edward and Shari Lyn. Following the birth of her children, Joyce became a “stay at home Mom.” After living in Salt Lake for 17 years, they moved back to Santa Clara in 1973. Joyce and Ron established Southwest Diesel Service where Joyce managed the accounting for the business. They were divorced in 1986.

Joyce married Donald C. Whittaker on Sept. 10, 1988. They were sealed in the St. George Temple on June 10, 1989. Joyce always felt that Don was the “wind beneath her wings” as he encouraged and supported her in anything she was determined to do. Joyce lovingly cared for Don for eight years after he had a stroke prior to his death on Oct. 13, 2013.

Joyce was a lifetime member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  She served in many callings. She also served as Ward and Santa Clara Stake Historian for almost 14 years.  Joyce and Don served as supervisors in the St. George Temple Baptistry.

Joyce’s greatest joy in life was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She encouraged and supported them through school, music lessons, scouts, and 4-H. She served as President of the Washington County 4-H Council for two years.

Joyce was active in her community. She served a term on the Santa Clara City Council. She became involved in the Santa Clara Historical Society and served as President of the Organization for nine years. She served on the board of the Washington County Historical Society for 14 years. Several of her great loves were genealogy and family history.  She was proud to be “100% Swiss” and honored her “Dutchman” heritage in many ways. She helped compile multiple family history books and authored “A History of Santa Clara Schools.”  Her crowning accomplishment was the publication of “The History of Santa Clara, Utah — A Blossom in the Desert.” This 572-page book fulfilled a lifetime dream and brought a great sense of accomplishment.  

Joyce enjoyed cooking, sewing and doing handiwork. She made most of her children’s clothes when they were young and many of her own.  She taught herself to knit and knitted about 30 sweaters. She learned to embroider, tatt, crochet and braid rugs. She followed her mother’s example and completed 13 Graduation Quilts, one for each of her grandchildren. She made about 25 wedding cakes and countless birthday cakes and her famous strawberry pies. She was an accomplished piano player and passed her talent on to a few of her children and grandchildren.

Joyce had many health challenges in her life, including the stroke that took away her independence in January 2014.  Her family is forever grateful for the many caregivers in her life that took such loving care of her. We are especially grateful for the staff at The Retreat at Sunbrook where she resided for the last four years of her life as well as Applegate Hospice. There are so many others that helped take care of her including granddaughters, Ashlyn, Rachael, Kori Jo, and Malori. A special thank you to dear friends, Patrice Hunt, MaryAnn Zabriskie and Josephine Barlow whose assistance allowed her to stay in her home for as long as she was able. Joyce was also blessed with many kind loving friends and neighbors. It was said that Joyce had the most visitors of any resident at The Retreat.  Her family’s and community’s love for her was very apparent.

Joyce is survived by her children: Leslie (Craig) Lance, Alaska; Doug (Gina) Prisbrey, Santa Clara; Brent (Jodi) Prisbrey, Richfield; Shari (Chris) Wilcox, Las Vegas; 13 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brothers Royden Wittwer, Tony Wittwer, Melvin Wittwer and Sheldon Wittwer and their families. She also leaves behind very special aunts who called or visited her often and gave her much comfort and joy — Linna Rosenlof, Jewell Frei, Edna Hunt, Cleo LeBaron, Fawn Mitchell, and Reta Hansen. Joyce has an abundance of nieces, nephews and cousins who were each special to her. She set the example of how to be the greatest aunt. She also appreciated the continued relationship she had with Don’s daughter, Nanon Bulloch. She is preceded in death by her husband Don, parents Lester and Vanola Wittwer and brother DeVerl.

Interment will be in the Santa Clara Historic Cemetery under the direction of Serenity Funeral Home. Per Joyce’s request, only a private family visitation and graveside service will be held. A public Celebration of Life will be scheduled at a later date.

April 13, 1968  — May 7, 2020

With an early morning departure, our beautiful and special Monica entered Heaven and into the loving arms of her sister, Tari and brother, Aaron.

Born in Ogden, Utah, Monica was adopted as a 2-year-old little girl by WC “Bill” and Marilyn Cartwright and welcomed by her sister, Tari and brothers, Corey, Aaron, Joe and Adam. Always the “little one,” she loved dancing, playing the piano, swimming and just anything except her family assignment of piling rocks from the backyard.

Monica loved the world of cats and always had a beloved cat as a pet, leaving Willow at her passing.

For reasons not known, Monica was plagued by illnesses, yet she had a wonderful outlook on life. She suffered through cancer and kidney and heart disease. Her Turner’s Syndrome only gave her interest in researching the diagnosis and the friends she gathered in dealing with the hardships it brought.

Monica graduated from Alta High School, where she loved being a member of the school choir.

Monica was endowed in the temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and loved her involvement as Secretary in the St. George Fifth Ward Relief Society.

Monica left an indelible mark on any and all she came in contact with. She loved people and spent hours being the special friend.

Due to COVID-19, a celebration of Monica’s life will be held at a later date.

We wish to thank those at the St. George Rehab Center for their tender care. Love to you, until we meet again, Monica.

August 25, 1937 — May 8, 2020

Gwen was born Gwendolyn June Kern on Aug. 25, 1937, to Mable and William Kern in Denver, Colorado. She grew up in Riverside, California, and Henderson, Nevada. She passed away peacefully at home on May 8, 2020, with her husband, Garry, her son, Brian, and the Hospice Nurse, Kristy by her side.

She graduated from Henderson High School in 1955. She met Garry Prisbrey at a local 1950s drive-in. Garry caught her eye, in a classic 1952 Chevy Coupe. She married Garry Prisbrey on Aug. 5, 1955. 

She was a city girl. She loved to shop. She had a handbag and matching shoes for every dress. She was a very classy lady.

In 1970, they moved to Washington, Utah. Gwen transformed and blossomed into a true Country Girl. She learned how to plant a garden, can and bottle her crops, take care of cows, horses, goats, sheep, dogs and everything else that came home with Garry and the kids. She learned to bake bread, pies and every country meal imaginable. There was no such thing as leftover food. It was “Planned” overs. There wasn’t anything she didn’t try. “Can’t” was not in her vocabulary, at all! She gave this country life everything she had and she mastered it with grace and style. 

Gwen raised her children with a strong hand and a kind loving heart. Garry worked out of town and she was the glue that held everything together. She loved her children and they knew it, but she was not about to let them run over her and get away without doing their chores. She had a paddle and she wasn’t afraid to use it if needed. She never said, “Wait until your dad gets home” to get a little correcting. She took care of everything at the time. Nothing was left until later. 

Gwen took a furniture refinishing class from Montrue Larkin at Dixie College about 50 years ago. Gwen became the master teacher and when the class ended at Dixie College, she kept a group of “Strippers” going right up to her passing. She didn’t just refinish a piece of furniture, she restored it to its original beauty. She was known for taking old broken dressers, chairs, an organ, tables, etc., in boxes full of pieces and repairing and fixing every detail even down to patching the veneer. Every piece of furniture that she restored was a “Master Piece.” She took great pride in all her work. I think her favorite gift from her children was tools, steel wool, and a can of stripper. 

Gwen’s talents didn’t begin or end with refinishing furniture. She was an amazing seamstress. She sewed all the Halloween costumes and clothing that couldn’t be purchased … and they were professionally done. You could not tell they were homemade. 

Gwen made many (hundreds) of Bears and Dolls, both out of wood, material, and old fur coats. She put joints in the legs and arms, and you would never guess they were homemade either. Everything she made was with precise perfection. 

Gwen had an eye for decorating. She loved the Country Sample Magazine. She could see a picture and create what she saw … she had a saying: “just like that, only different.” What we saw was “just like that, only better.” Gwen never got bored. She always had a “new” pattern to try out. She loved keeping busy and creating things. 

Of all the things she accomplished and learned in her life, her greatest joy was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She encouraged them to always be doing something. You can accomplish anything you put your mind to save money and spend time with family. Family gatherings were very important to her. She was always fussing about trying to feed everyone and make sure they were taken care of. She was an amazing grandmother. She played on her hands and knees constantly with her grandchildren making forts, reading books, playing dolls, sewing, cooking with them and doing “whatever” they wanted to do. She gave them her undivided attention when they were with her. 

Gwen was always prepared to drop what she had planned to take care of her family. We could call, and at a moment’s notice, she was there to save the day. 

Gwen was Garry’s right hand. She was always by his side helping with every project he was doing; fetching a tool, holding this or that in place while he fastened or repaired, running for supplies, and keeping a cold drink close by. 

Gwen is survived by her husband of 64 years, children: Becky and Kevin Whitney, Brian and Sarah Prisbrey, Bruce and Nanette Prisbrey, Brenda and Chris Veit, seven grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and one on the way.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Mabel and Bill Kern, baby girl Peggy, her mother and father in law, LaRue and Harold Prisbrey, and Grandma and Grandpa Prisbrey, Susan and Hyrum Prisbrey. 

Due to COVID-19, there will not be a funeral at this time. We will have a celebration of life at a later date. 

We would like to thank the staff at Sun Tree Home Health & Hospice. Especially, Christy, Laura, Ronnie and Tricia.

A Private Family Graveside Service will be on Wednesday, May 13, 2020, at 11 a.m. in the Washington City Cemetery. There will be a family visitation prior to services from 9:30–10:30 a.m. at Spilsbury Mortuary, 110 S. Bluff Street, St. George, Utah 84770.
