July, 20, 1920 — Oct. 9, 2017

Ruth Hale, 97, returned to her Heavenly Father and rejoined her eternal sweetheart on Oct. 9, 2017. She was born July 20, 1920, in Safford, Arizona, to James Addison and Matilda Abigail Walker Cluff. She was the youngest of nine children.

It was in Superior that she met her lifelong sweetheart, Charles (Curly) Porter Hale Jr. They were married on June 14, 1938. They were later sealed in the St. George Temple. They had four beautiful children together.

Ruth held many callings in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including Relief Society, Primary and Young Women Presidents. She loved her Lord and savior and always tried to put him first in her life. She was a true example of meekness and kindness, and spent her life in the service of others.

She is survived by her daughter, Alberta Ray (Danny) Thorne; son, Arthur James (Gayle) Hale; nine grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren and nine great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Curly; an infant son, Milton Wayne; her oldest son, Charles Leon; two grandsons, Matthew James and Rhett Porter Hale and a granddaughter, Joci Ann Hale.

Today I lost the closest person to my heart, my best friend, my mom. She was 95 years old.

Mom was an orphan from Croyden, England. Her dad died of gangrene after World War I and her mom had tuberculosis and died when she was a baby. She was raised in a loving foster home and then was sent to a difficult all-girls domestic school at 8 years old. Her only older brother was sent to a boys school. They were not raised together.

World War II broke out and she was around 18 years old and she worked in a machine shop repairing Jeep engines. She was incredibly skilled, talented and creative. She could repair kitchen electronics and sprinkler systems, design beautiful English gardens at our home, sew many of my skating outfits, knit sweaters, crochet, can fruits and vegetables, make jams and decorate cakes. My friends loved coming over when mom was baking.

She was loving and kind, with a dry-wit sense of humor. She made many sacrifices for my brother, Richard and me. She worked in factories to get extra money to help pay for our clothes and shoes, and to help pay for my skating. I will remember her laughter, her love and her endless sacrifice for her family. From this little baby girl in England with no parents at the end of WWI, to this gracious loving wife and mom. After my dad passed away September 1995, she moved to be close to me in Plano, Texas, and then to be close to Richard in Hurricane.

Her dementia was gradually erasing her memories and all she loved dearly. It was difficult to see the change and realize that she doesn’t know who you are. She lived in Hurricane Rehab Center until Oct. 1, when she fell and broke her hip and shoulder/arm. She had surgery on her hip and we almost lost her then. She was not expected to live but a day or two. But in her typical fashion, she was a tough lady and endured for another 10 days.

Even though you didn’t have parents, you left me your life as an example of unconditional love, great sacrifice without saying a word, laughter in everyday situations and hope for tomorrow. I pray you will have a Heavenly Father now.

I will miss you terribly, until we meet again. I love you mom.

Mom is survived by her children, Richard Carlson and Rozann Smith; two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Aug. 19, 1927 — Oct. 9, 2017

Conrad “Conny” Sorenson Bowler, 90 years old, passed away very peacefully on October 9. He was born on August 19, 1927, to Francis Leo Bowler and LaPrele Sorenson Bowler. He married Corinne Esplin on October 9, 1946, and solemnized in the St. George Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on May 15, 1947. As a member of the LDS church he served many people in need.

Conny, as he was known by his friends, was raised in Gunlock and a lifelong resident of Washington County. At age 15, he moved to St. George to live with his Grandma Matilda Sorenson to attend school and work. He graduated from Dixie High School and worked at Cliff Leach Corner Service Station. Work was something he was accustomed to and was still feeding and watering the horses at age 88. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served his country.

Conny was always been the epitome of the American Cowboy. He had a natural ability with horses and began operations of Bowler Horse Training Stables in 1960. Because of Redwood Sam, his stud, the roan color of horses began to dot the Southwest. He was always willing to help people learn better horsemanship, holding clinics for the St. George Lions Queen and Princess, 4-H program and anyone interested in horses. He never charged a fee and loved his work. His own accomplishments included Morgan Cutting Horse champion from 1967-1970, named to the Utah Cutting Horse Association Hall of Fame in 2008 and Grand Marshall for the St. George Lions Dixie Round-up in 2014.

Cutting was his favorite horse sport. He made sure his sons always had the best horses to compete on in calf-roping and team roping. He took pride in well trained horses and said “there was too many good horses to ride a bad one.”

He is survived by sons: John, who tenderly took care of him the last years of his life, and Troy (Kerrie); daughter-in-law, Gai; six grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters: Jewel Snow and Barbara (Clark) Reber. He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Corinne; son, Randy; and daughter, Wendy.

Special thanks to the staff at Seasons Rehab, for the special loving care they gave Conny the past few months.

March 7, 1953 — Oct. 14, 2017

Robert Kent Frisbey, 64, passed away on Oct. 14, surrounded by his loved ones after a short but courageous battle with cancer. He was born March 7, 1953, in Salt Lake City to Rex Clay Frisbey and Marie Vanderlinden.

Bob moved to Ogden at the age of 6 where he attended local schools and graduated from Ogden High School in 1971. He attended Weber State University where he received his associate degree in accounting. Bob served in the Utah National Guard 396 Aviation from 1972-1978. He worked at ZCMI in The Tiffin Room as a pearl diver and later became a stock boy. He finished his career at ZCMI in the Bailiwick department.

He met the love of his life, Laurie Stewart, and they were married for time and eternity on Dec. 7, 1972, in the Ogden Temple. They were blessed with 4 children whom he cared for and cherished throughout his life. Bob and Laurie would have celebrated their 45th anniversary this December.

Bob worked for the Social Security Administration for 40 years. In 1993 he accepted a promotion to manage the St. George Social Security office, so he moved, with his family, to Santa Clara.

He was also an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many ward and stake callings.

Bob lived to water ski, and he passed this love on to his children and countless friends and relatives. He could often be seen cutting through the glassy surface of Lake Powell, where he spent his summers behind the wheel of a boat or the handle of a ski rope. Spending time on the lake with family and friends was one of his greatest passions. He also enjoyed four-wheeling, snowmobiling, scuba diving and any other activity where he could have an adventure.

May 20, 1926 — Oct. 20, 2017

Foy Ardell Seegmiller, age 91, passed away quietly in his sleep on Oct. 20, 2017, at his residence at Spring Gardens in St. George, Utah. He was born May 20, 1926, in Washington, Utah, one of 9 children, to Paul Carroll and Edith Sproul Seegmiller weighing in at a pleasingly plump 11 lbs. with very blue eyes.

His childhood was spent playing in the streets, ditches, and hills of St. George. He and his older brother, Paul, made most of their own toys as a youth, including their favorites, the flipper (slingshot) and soap box cars. When they were older, their father took them hunting and fishing. Their family very much depended on the meat. Foy eventually gave up hunting, but he never gave up fishing. His last fishing trip was just a month before his death.

While attending Woodward High School in St. George, Foy met Ilene Stirling from Leeds. They dated for two years before he enlisted in the Navy on May 23, 1944, three days after his 18^th birthday. He served as Shipfitter Third Class on the ship, USS Braxton until his honorable discharge on June 22, 1946.

Foy continued his courtship with Ilene after his return to St. George which meant driving the road between St. George and Leeds often. They were engaged soon after his return and were sealed in the St. George Temple on Sept. 26, 1946, the same day Ilene’s twin sister, Elaine, was sealed to Nyron Sorenson. They had a double wedding reception later that day. Foy and Ilene lived in southern Utah in various homes until 1951 when they moved to southern Nevada, Henderson and North Las Vegas, where they reared their four children. A month before their 25^th wedding anniversary Ilene succumbed to complications of diabetes which had afflicted her for over 20 years.

Foy began his training as a plumber during his service in the Navy. He worked for several local plumbing companies before moving to Henderson where he began apprenticing to become a journeyman plumber. Except for a year and a half managing a dry-cleaning business while living in the St. Paul/Minneapolis, Minnesota area, he worked as a plumber until he retired on June 1, 1988.

At the age of 45, Foy found himself back into the dating scene. At a Single Adults activity during the winter following Ilene’s death, Foy met Marie Smith Peeples. After a brief courtship, he married Marie on July 1, 1972, in St. George. They were later sealed in the St. George Temple.

Foy was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all his life. He served in many leadership positions in the Church including Bishop, Bishopric counselor, YM presidencies and High Counselor. He performed admirably in all positions of responsibility and authority assigned to him in matters of faith, family, career and country. He leaves behind a legacy of love, service and faith.

After retiring from the work force Foy and Marie became Elder and Sister Seegmiller serving on two missions. The first mission was for 18 months to the Kenya Nairobi mission. The second mission was for 23 months to the Bangalore India Mission. Foy served as District President in Rajahmundry and helped lay the foundation for the first LDS stake in India. Last year the third LDS stake was created in the country of India. A visitor from Rajahmundry visited Foy at Spring Gardens in April of this year and told him that the members there still talk about Elder and Sister Seegmiller.

After 43 years of marriage, Marie became ill and passed away in December 2013, shortly after they moved to St. George. Following her death, Foy moved in to live with his daughter, Carol Ann, and son-in-law, Truman Leishman. During the time, he would often comment, whenever he would pass by Dixie High School, that he regretted that he didn’t have the chance to get his high school diploma before he enlisted in the Navy. Without Foy’s knowledge, Truman contacted all the “powers that be” to arrange for him to receive a high school diploma. On May 20, 2015, on his 89^th birthday, he was surprised when he was given an honorary high school diploma from Dixie High School principal, Sharla Campbell.

Foy is survived by his children, Carol Ann (Truman) Leishman (St. George, UT), Myron Daniel (Marie) Seegmiller (Tucson, AZ), Marilyn (Larry) McLay (Springville, UT), Donna Elaine (Gary) Neibaur (Pleasant Grove, UT), and Susan (James) Ward (Oak Harbor, WA). In addition, Foy is survived by his stepchildren, Roger Jackson (Debbie) Peeples, (Las Vegas, NV), Riley James (Rachel) Peeples (N. Las Vegas, NV), Daniel Lee (Sandra) Peeples, (Round Rock, TX), Jenny (Randy) Cote’, (N. Las Vegas, NV), John Edward Peeples (Las Vegas, NV). He is also survived by his sisters Clothele Jensen, VanDyne (Kent) Wilson, Janet (Edward) Gubler, Eve Diane (Gordon) Peterson, and Linda Gail Beatty. Foy’s posterity also includes 46 grandchildren, 77 great grandchildren, and seven great-great grandchildren.

Foy is preceded in death by his wives Ilene Stirling and Marie Smith Peeples; his parents; one brother (Paul D. Seegmiller) and two sisters (Fayone Whitehead and Tana Sullivan). He is also preceded in death by two children who died at birth and two step sons Nathan George Peeples (Annette Peeples Packard) and Andrew Jackson Peeples. One grandson (Aaron Jackson Peeples), a granddaughter (Marie Rose Ward) and grandson-in-law Lau (Jacquie) Tuitavuki have also passed on.

The family would like to thank his wonderful friends and the staff at Spring Gardens Senior Living for their love and service to him, their amazing crafts and activities, and all the fun he had at their fantastic events.

Oct. 31, 1929 — Oct. 26, 2017

Charles H. “Bud” Corlett, 87, passed away at his home on Oct. 26, 2017, of natural causes. Charles is preceded in death by his parents, brother and lifelong love, Tana. He is survived by his three sons: Paul (Cydne), Boyd (Jean) and Kent (Milka). Bud is also survived by his sister, Mary Lou; seven grandchildren; 8 ½ great-grandchildren; and many others who cared for him.

Charles was born in Cedar City, Utah, on Oct. 31, 1929, to Leo Corlett and Ina Heyborne. He grew up and attended high school in the area before electing to join the Army. Bud spent the majority of his Army service in Alaska as a fireman. Although it was a small chunk of his life, he was very proud of his service and the diploma he earned through the Army.

Upon his return, he married the love of his life in 1951. Bud and Tana were the perfect pair, and anyone who met them knew the love and support that existed in the marriage that lasted for 64 years before Tana’s passing in 2015. For the following two years, Bud kept Tana’s memory alive through pictures and stories of their life together.

Bud had a storied career in the Utah trucking industry and impacted countless lives throughout his career that led up to the day he passed away. He worked at Milne Trucking for over 40 years in a number of different roles and was very proud of the work and the relationships that he had over that time. He also spent ten years with Dats Trucking and helped with their expansion efforts throughout the state.

In 2000, Bud was monumental in the founding of Corlett Express Trucking with his sons. It was the product of his life’s work and his expertise played a major role in the 17 years of success the company has had. If you asked anyone to sum Bud up, the first thing that would come to mind is “hard worker.” He continued to work until the day he passed away.

Although Bud was such a hard worker, his biggest achievement was family. He loved his family more than any work achievement and did whatever he could do to support his family members. This consisted of hunting and fishing with his sons and cheering on all of his grandkids at all they did.  He truly was the leader of the Corlett family and his family could not be prouder to have had Bud lead them. He will be truly missed by his family.

“To the perfect dad and grandpa, we love and miss you so much but we know you are with the person you belong too. RIP forever”  -Your Family.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity dear to you.

She was born on March 15, 1951, in Cedar City, as the second of five children to Melvin and Lenora Truman. She married Carl Dean Larson in the St. George temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 22, 1972, and had three perfect children.

Kalynn spent her childhood in Enterprise and grew up with a broad range of interests and accomplishments, including hunting, playing golf with her dad, cheerleading, homecoming queen and valedictorian at Enterprise High School.

She worked at Dixie State University for 35 years serving most of her time as the alumni director where she developed strong relationships with alumni, students and the community. Helping to spread Dixie Spirit, she created or expanded the “Celebrity Golf Classic,” “Fire and Ice Gala,” Alumni Chapter events throughout the U.S. and internationally and numerous tailgating events. She helped thousands of students receive scholarships to further their education and worked closely with student government. The alumni loved her dearly.

Kalynn volunteered with the “Jubilee of Trees” for 13 years designing dozens of Christmas trees, mini-trees and wreaths and serving on the board. She had a talent for design, found great joy in serving others and worked hard to give back to the community at any opportunity.

She was very active in the LDS church and held many teaching and leadership positions in Primary, Relief Society and the Young Women Organization. Her favorite calling was the one she held before she was diagnosed: Primary President. She sincerely loved every child in her ward.

Even with all her activities, she loved her family more than anything, with her children and grandchildren being her pride and joy. She had a way of making every holiday special with delicious homemade treats and fun activities. Her grandchildren have fond memories of extravagant tea parties, candy-filled movie marathons and one-on-one shopping trips with grandma.

June 8, 1942 — Oct. 27, 2017

Stanley C. Giles, 75, passed away peacefully with his family by his side Oct. 27. He was born June 8, 1942, in Payson to J. Milton Giles and Edna Mellor Giles.

He met the love of his life, Pamela Joan Patton, in a fateful, chance encounter in Star Valley, Wyoming, in 1965, soon after he was buried alive in an industrial accident.  Pam rushed to his side and has been there ever since. They were married July 30, 1966, at Christ Church and St. Michael’s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

After his near fatal accident, Stan felt like every day was a gift and he lived the next 52 years to the fullest. He had a love of flying, hunting, fishing, being outdoors and, more than anything, spending time with his grandkids.

He spent much of the last several years sharing his Dutch oven cooking, riding his ATV through the red rock country of Southern Utah with friends and family and, best of all, hiking with his beloved buddy Maggie. He passed on his interests to his two phenomenal sons Chris and Michael, his beautiful “daughters” Robin and Michelle, and his four amazing grandchildren, Madison, Macie, Ryan and Cameron. He loved his family more than anything, as they do him.

Everyone who knew him will miss his kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness and great sense of humor.
