Nov. 6, 1945 — Sept. 6, 2018

Heaven gained an angel with the sudden passing of Dena Jean Hollman-Palmer. Dena grew up in North Hollywood, California, and was fortunate to find love at first sight when she met and married her husband, William Wade Palmer, in the Los Angeles Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Together over 55 years, they created a large, loving family of six children, eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, with another on the way.

Dena was the oldest of four children born to Norma Thompson and James Hollman. She devoted her life to serving the Lord and raising her family. She had a strong testimony of the gospel within the LDS church – a testimony that inspired many. She relished her many callings within the church in Primary, Young Women’s and Relief Society, but serving as Relief Society president was where her light shined brightest. Many have said she was the best Relief Society president they ever had.

Dena spent time working in television and beauty products, but her true life’s work was being a pillar of strength in her family and community. Despite many relocations in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas of California, Dena made friends quickly and easily with her love for social activities.

Dena loved every opportunity to socialize with friends and family. Holidays and birthdays were spent in close quarters with the ones she loved, playing games like Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble. She always won.

Her memory was sharp as an ax, and she told wonderful stories of her life that fascinated those around her. She kept hundreds of journals detailing her memories and everyday life. She also filled time researching genealogy to further keep important memories alive.

Her life was a joyous one, filled with dancing and laughter and the pitter-patter of little feet. She loved the beach in her home state of California but also loved the mountains and desert plains of Utah.

Dena faced struggles in life, but she did not take them for granted. Her journal can be quoted:

When I catch myself falling into sadness or depression, I try to correct it. I have found that the most effective way to fight those feelings is to replace them with gratefulness. I am so grateful for the sun. For light and warmth. For the stars and beauty of the sky. For flowers, trees, beautiful animals and birds. And for all the amazing creatures of a God who shows us love in all his creations.

We are so grateful for you – our wife, mom and grandma, Dena Palmer.

Dena is preceded in death by her parents, Norma Thompson and James Hollman. She is survived by her loving husband, William Palmer; her siblings Lona Lopez, Jim Hollman and Wayne Hollman; her children; grandchildren; and great-grandchildren.

Jan. 2, 1961 – Sept. 3, 2018

Lincoln Marcus Powers, age 57, passed away peacefully at Dixie Regional Medical Center on Sept. 3, 2018, surrounded by loving family members. He was born Jan. 2, 1961, to Walter William “Bill” Powers and Barbara Joan Storrs in Indio, California. He met the love of his life, Joelle, in 2015 and they were married on April 21, 2017.

Lincoln grew up playing baseball in Palm Springs, California, and graduated from Palm Springs High School in 1979. After high school, Lincoln attended College of the Desert in Palm Desert, California, where he played baseball for a year. In 1987, Lincoln began his career as a Realtor, earning his broker’s license in 1989.

Two of Lincoln’s greatest joys, his children, Shannon, born in 1989, and Lincoln Jr., born in 1991, he shared with Tiffany Pfrimmer.

In 1993, Lincoln moved his young family from Palm Springs to St. George where they were some of the very first attendees of Calvary Chapel St. George. Lincoln continued his real estate career in St. George, becoming a co-owner of Coldwell Banker Premier.

Lincoln held onto biblical truth and happily and enthusiastically shared the evidence with anyone who would listen.

Lincoln loved Mexican food, coffee, sports (especially baseball), comic books, reading, trivia, learning, intelligent conversation, religious and
political debates, history, traveling and, most of all, spending time with his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

Lincoln is survived by his wife, Joelle; his children, daughter Shannon (Ivan) Amargo of St. George, Utah, son Lincoln (Allecia) Powers Jr. of West
Jordan, Utah, stepchildren, Zoe (Stefan) Larsen and Zachary Hume of St. George, Utah, and Noah Hume of Annapolis, Maryland; granddaughter Willow Amargo and grandsons Oakland Amargo, Asher Larsen and Dante Powers; sisters Carol Gregory and Christine Pete of Desert Hot Springs, California, and many uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews. Lincoln was preceded in death by his parents, father Walter William “Bill” Powers, mother, Barbara Joan Storrs and two sisters Delilah Bizier and Billie Rae Powers.

The family would like to thank the EMTs, doctors, nurses, medical staff, friends, family and countless others for all the kindness and devotion shown during such a difficult time.

As anyone who knew Lincoln knows, his grandchildren were the light of his life, so in lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation be made to a
memorial account set up in his name for his grandchildren’s college fund at America First Credit Union (account number 9105206; routing number
324377516).

March 18, 1932 – Sept. 6, 2018

Ronald Wesley Nelson, age 86, of Veyo, Utah, passed away peacefully at his home Sept. 6, 2018. He was born March 18, 1932, in St. George, Utah. He was the first son and third child of Wesley Alma and Althea Snow Nelson.

His great-great-grandparents Aaron Nelson, Erastus Snow and William Snow, were some of the original settlers in Dixie.

He grew up and attended schools in St. George. He graduated from Dixie High School and Dixie College. Ron met Glenna Nelson, daughter of Lawrence Jay and Laura Bowman Nelson, of Leamington, Utah, while attending Dixie College. She was a ‘Dixiana’ Dorm Girl. They were married in the St. George temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Sept. 8, 1951.

His 5th Ward priest-age basketball team took first place in the All-Church competitions in Salt Lake City with his winning half-court shot. He played college football and tennis at Dixie College. In tennis, he and his doubles partner never lost a match. They won the BYU Invitational.

Ron was drafted into the Army during the Korean War and served as a medic. He was stationed in Fort Lewis, Washington, and Sasebo, Japan. He was honorably discharged from the Army on a medical deferment.

Upon returning from the military, Ron worked as a traveling sporting goods and hardware salesman in central and Southern Utah. He purchased the Nelson Supply Company (Western Auto) from his father in 1960. He owned, managed and operated Nelson Supply Company until 1981.

He brought in original franchises and new products to Southern Utah. His was a one-stop shop. He sold everything from Schwinn bicycles to Honda and Yamaha motorcycles. This is where he picked up the nickname – “Hondo Rondo.” He sold all kinds of sporting goods including guns, ammo and fishing tackle. He also built a roller rink (Big Arch) above his sporting goods store and had a pawn shop. He built Spanish Trail Supply in Veyo, and operated a roller rink upstairs. He operated with the notion it was “smarter to barter.” Often the first words out of his mouth were, “What have you got to trade?”

Ron had a soft spot for the unfortunate and downtrodden. He would give the shirt off his back to help others. His heart was as big as his large frame.

One of Ron and Glenna’s greatest accomplishments was to see each of their four living sons serve honorable full-time missions and later be sealed to their spouses in the St. George temple. They were proud of their children. Each of their children graduated, like Ron, from Dixie High School and went on to pursue successful lives. Their grandchildren are all following the great example set by their grandparents.

Ron served as a home teacher, Sunday School teacher, ward clerk of the Dixie College Third Ward, Elder’s Quorum President, Ward Activities Chairman, Cubmaster and Ward Mission Leader.

In 1990, Ron and Glenna served a full-time proselyting mission to the Arizona Holbrook Mission. They lived and served in Many Farms and the surrounding areas of Chinle on the Navajo Indian Reservation. They had a great love for those beautiful people with whom they worked.

Ron was involved in his community. He was a member of the St. George Lions Club. He enjoyed helping with the annual Dixie Round-Up Rodeo. He was the founder, charter member and past president of the Veyo Cinder Valley Lion’s Club. He was also a member of the St. George Chamber of Commerce and the Dixie College Colonels and served as the past president of the Dixie Wildlife Federation. He served his community in many ways.

In addition to deer, Ron loved to hunt quail, pheasants, antelope, elk and javelina. He also loved fishing in his boat in the lakes of Southern Utah. Ron knew the back roads and mines of Southern Utah, Washington County and the Arizona Strip better than most. Ron was a great storyteller and prankster. He was affectionately known as “Uncle Ronnie” or “Cousin Ron.” He enjoyed the company of his Nelson and Snow cousins and his nieces and nephews very much and hosted many dinners and parties for them.

He is survived by his five children, Gary (Christine), Roosevelt; Ricky (Sandy), St. George; Lonnie (Richelle), Santa Clara; Tammy (Tim Gentry), St. George; Cory (Traci), Taylorsville; 21 grandchildren and 38½ great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Glenna; a son, Glenn Ray; parents, Wesley Alma and Althea Snow Nelson; in-laws, Lawrence Jay and Laura Bowman Nelson; siblings, Althea Rose, Karlene and Grant; and grandson, Jeremy.

Aug. 7, 1936 – Sept. 15, 2018

Sue Stirling Olds was born Aug. 7, 1936, to Rex and Thelma Stirling in Hurricane, Utah. She was born in her grandparents’ home next to where she and Clayton later built a house and lived in for 51 years. She was the youngest of seven children.

The family lived in Leeds until 1941. Sue often talked about selling fruit on the side of the highway in Leeds. In 1941 they moved to Hurricane where she attended school.

May 4, 1990 – Sept. 12, 2018

MyKey Ann Jepson Hilton slipped away Sept. 12, 2018, at her home in West Jordan, Utah, surrounded by her family and friends.

MyKey was born May 4, 1990, to Mike and Jean Jepson of Hurricane, Utah. Her big brother, Layne, was excited to meet his new baby sister, and their union became a sibling bond unlike any other. Layne and MyKey spent their entire childhood as the best of friends, with Layne always watching out for his little sister.

MyKey had a very happy childhood filled with lots of friends and dozens of cousins, whom she loved dearly. She loved swimming, hanging out with her family, going camping and fishing, and making trips to Panguitch, her second home.

MyKey graduated from Hurricane High School in 2008. She loved dancing with the Tigerettes drill team and was a great friend to all. She’ll always be an H-Town Tiger!

Her post-high school achievements included graduating from the Utah College of Massage Therapy in 2009 and serving as a religious missionary
for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from August 2012 to February 2014. She served in the Virginia, Richmond mission.

She fell in love with her sweetheart Michael Hilton, and they married on April 25, 2015, in the St. George LDS temple.

On Oct. 27, 2015, MyKey lost her dad and biggest fan, Mike, to brain cancer. She learned from him that “sometimes fighting is the answer.”

Eight months later, MyKey and Michael welcomed sweet baby James Michael on June 15, 2016. He became the instant ray of light and happiness in their
lives.

On Dec. 30, 2016, MyKey was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. She knew that now it was her turn to fight. MyKey fought as brave and graceful a battle as has ever been fought on this earth. Throughout her life, amidst debilitating pain and sickness, and even in her death, she blessed and continues to bless those around her with her humility, kindness and unwavering conviction. Her example and influence are more far-reaching than she could ever imagine.

MyKey is survived by her husband Michael Robert Hilton and son James Michael Hilton of West Jordan, Utah; mother Jean Cooper Jepson of
Hurricane, Utah; and brother Layne Nathaniel Jepson of Hurricane, Utah.

She was preceded in death by her father, Mike Jepson. Surely there was never a sweeter reunion than when MyKey flew into the arms of her dad! She
was also preceded by maternal grandparents James and Ophelia Cooper, and paternal grandparents Layne and Orva Jepson.

Judy spent most of her early years in Houston, Texas. She was baptized in her teens as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She left home at 18 to attend Brigham Young University where she met the love of her life.

David and Judy were married May 25, 1962, in the Idaho Falls temple. They lived in Preston, Idaho; Logan, Utah; Orem, Utah; and finally St. George, Utah, where they enjoyed their retirement together.

She was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved nothing more than when her kids came home. She looked forward to seeing her grandkids and taking them to do things, especially shopping. She loved baking cookies and brownies with them and it became their tradition. She passed on her love of baking to her grandkids and they always knew they were her priority.

Judy worked for Intermountain Healthcare for many years and retired from Dixie Regional Medical Center. She enjoyed the many friends she met while working there.

She is survived by her husband David Denney (St George, Utah); children Darren (Nichola) Denney (Durango, Colorado), Deena Wolfley (Logan, Utah), Jaime (Robert) Davis (Gardner, Kansas);  six grandkids Kyle Odin (Hannah), Cody and Jake Davis, Carter and Chloe Wolfley, and Hayden Hone; and one great-grandchild, Oakley Nicholls.

April 2, 1935 – Sept. 18, 2018

Gary Aceal Terry, 83, died Sept. 18, 2018 in the Southern Utah Veterans Home, Ivins, Utah. He was born April 2, 1935, in Ogden, Utah, to Hyrum Aceal and Viola Sorenson Terry. He married Carole Ann Eitel, of Ellerson, Virginia, on June 23, 1962, in Los Angeles, California.

Gary spent his childhood in Cedar City, Utah, where he was the student body president of his high school. Upon graduation, he joined the United States Navy, where he served on the U.S.S. Princeton during the Korean War. His plan for a career in the Navy was halted abruptly when he returned from a tour of duty in the Far East only to be diagnosed with spinal paralytic poliomyelitis. He spent two years in the U.S. Naval Hospital at Corona, California, and in April 1958 was placed on the Navy retired list and transferred to a Veterans Administration Hospital for rehabilitation.

After his release from the hospital, he began his college career, which he interrupted to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Central Atlantic States Mission. After his mission, he attended UCLA, where he received a bachelor’s degree in political science and specialty in public law. He then attended and graduated from George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C., where he earned a juris doctorate degree.

While attending law school, he worked in the government relations office of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. He served on the 1969 Presidential Inaugural Committee. He then served as an attorney in the Office of the General Council for Housing and Urban Development (HUD). He resigned from HUD to begin a trade association to represent resort developers when it became apparent to him that they had no representative organization. He was a founder, chairman and president of the American Resort Development Association. During his 22 year career, Gary met many outstanding business men and women, who became great friends.

While in Virginia, Gary served and loved many young people, as bishop of the Langley, Virginia, Ward. He served many years as a missionary leader in the McLean Stake and loved missionary opportunities. Upon retirement, he and his wife moved to St. George, Utah, to escape ice and snow, as his post-polio impairments increased. In St. George, he served as chairman of the Pioneer Center for the Arts and also as chairman of the Celebrity Concert Series. In 1998, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, which brought him to the Southern Utah Veterans Home in 2017

A great joy to him has been the arrival in his life of grandchildren Erik Lon (Ranae) Wallace, Steffan Ken (Malin) Wallace, Jasmin Helen Wallace (Andreas) Helgesen, Danielle Sofia Terry and Christopher Andres Terry; and great-grandchildren Jade Thompson and Evelyn Wallace.

Gary is survived by his wife, Carole; children Stephanie Terry (Kent) Wallace of Lake Orion, Michigan, and Brendan (Maria) Terry of Sandy, Utah; five grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and siblings Debra (Jerry) Walter, Kim (Robin) Terry and Patrice (Duane) Beaumont.

His family is grateful for the care of many professionals who have helped him through his medical challenges: Dr. Dan Madsen and Dr. Jason Swigert and many other doctors and nurses, and the caring staff members at the SUVH.

His family is also grateful for the kindness and care of members of the St. James Ward and the SUVH Branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Feb. 27, 1947 – Sept. 21, 2018

Wendy Thompson Prins died peacefully in her home on Sept. 21, 2018, in St. George at the age of 71.

Wendy is survived by her mother, Elenor Reid, from London, Ontario; husband, Peter; children, Blake and Brent; siblings, Wayne, Doug, Ellie and Caroline. She was preceded in death by her father, Curtis Thompson, sister Debby and brother Greg from London, Ontario.

Wendy was born Feb. 27, 1947, in London, Ontario, to Curtis and Elenor Reid Thompson. A bright student, she received full-tuition scholarship and graduated from the University of Western Ontario with a bachelor of arts degree in languages.

Upon graduation in 1969, she married her first husband Neil Rodger and over the next 15 years she set about raising her sons, Brent (born 1969) and Blake (born 1971) with good virtues and values, even as she struggled as a single mother following divorce nine years into her marriage. She worked as a financial analyst for the Canadian government for five years and as a teacher in Moreno Valley, California, for 14 years.

Her children remember her as a caring, loving and brilliant mother who encouraged them to be their best and pursue their goals. Though she was to have a second failed marriage, the third marriage in 2006 to Peter Prins turned out to be a fairy tale romance, two soul mates deeply in love, Wendy and Peter enjoying each other’s company in the Neverland of St. George, Utah.

Wendy was accomplished at cooking, often would invite friends and family to her house for international gourmet cuisine. She was a brilliant and wise woman who loved teaching and who was passionate about her students. She was an active and dedicated member of The Church Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

He spent his first six years in Ivins before the family moved to St. George. He along with his brothers climbed Red Mountain often and would have their mother time them to see how fast they could reach the top. Snow Canyon was their backyard. He enjoyed playing cowboys and Indians where there was lots of sand to break their falls when they were shot off their horses.

At age 10 he hoed and bunched radishes and onions. He also picked cherries and tomatoes. He worked often with his dad in the garden, where the seeds were planted for his love of planting, growing and harvesting.

He attended school in Santa Clara and St. George. Glen was active in basketball and track. As a youth he had several jobs. He was excellent at shooting pool and could make $50 to $60 dollars in an afternoon, which was a lot of money in those days. An expert player encouraged Glen to go professional, but he turned it down.

After high school he worked the mines in Montana, before being drafted into the army. He served in the Korean War and made the rank of sergeant. Glen and his crew laid the communication lines for the peace talks.

After Glen came home from the war, he began driving truck for Rocky Mountain Company. He started dating Loya Lyman and they married the following summer.

He always had a passion for fishing and hunting. He was an excellent marksman and usually only needed one bullet to get his deer.

His professional career was serving as the water superintendent of the city of St. George for 28 years. He was responsible for the building of Gunlock Reservoir and the drilling of numerous city water wells. He was the first recipient of the Outstanding Water Works Operator in the state of Utah.

Glen enjoyed numerous church callings over the years, some of which were High Priest Group Leader, Elders Quorum President and Mission Leader. He also served in two Bishoprics. In his retirement he and Loya fulfilled two missions: one in Bilbao, Spain, and one in Adam-ondi-Ahman.

He is survived by his wife, Loya Gubler, of St. George, Utah, as well as Jan Nixon of Ivins, Lance (Susan) of St. George, Yvonne Wall (Robin) of St. George, Glenda VanBuskirk of Enoch, Natalie Wild (Kendell) of Santa Clara, Valarie Larkin (Tim) of Washington, and Rebekah Wainwright (Doug) of Santa Clara.

Nov. 27, 1935 – Sept. 22, 2018

Corinne Fullerton Shumway, of Santa Clara, Utah, finished her journey here on earth on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. It was the first day of autumn, Sept. 22, 2018. She was 82 years of age. Born Nov. 27, 1935, in the small town of Pioche, Nevada, she is the first child of Walter Murray Fullerton and Grace Hollinger Fullerton.

She leaves behind her loving husband of 63 years, Keith Ardit Shumway.

Corinne was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She loved her Heavenly Father and served him faithfully in many callings over the years, treating each one as if it were the most important thing she could be asked to do. She loved the people she served, from the sisters in the Relief Society, youth in the YWMIA, to the young Primary Children to whom she taught the Gospel.

Keith and Corinne were married Sept. 5, 1955, and they were sealed for time and all eternity in the Mesa, Arizona, Temple. Their first home was the fuselage of a crashed airplane on top of Calamity Mesa where she helped cook for a group of miners. After that adventure, they moved to Provo, Utah, where she got a job at Geneva Steel and Keith attended Brigham Young University.

In 1958 they set up house in Monticello, Utah, and by 1966 they were the proud parents of six children; five girls and a boy. They then moved to Reno, Nevada, and in 1967 she began working at the University of Nevada. In 1971 she graduated from college with a degree in nutrition and went on to get her master’s degree in home economics, with a minor in art.

Corinne worked for the Division of Aging Services and was instrumental in getting the Meals on Wheels program to all the outlying towns in the state of Nevada.

She loved to paint, play the piano and had a fabulous singing voice. She spent years researching her family history and in her later life wrote many books, not only about her ancestors but about the small town where she grew up. One particular book was called “I Dig Pioche.”

After the children grew up and both she and her husband retired, they moved to Gold Canyon, Arizona, where they served a Family History Mission and then an 18-month mission to Nigeria before finally settling in Santa Clara, Utah, where she had always loved the red hills of November.

Corinne is survived by her husband Keith, her daughters Kellee (Michael) Kiley of Farmington, Utah, Kim (Donald) Jacobsen of Reno, Nevada, Laurie Morris of Reno, Nevada, Heidi (Thomas) Hebb of Sparks, Nevada, Tori Kae (Scott) Cantrell of Elko, Nevada, and a son Michael Keith Shumway of Reno, Nevada. Also surviving her is her brother William Douglas Fullerton (Sandra) of Washington, Utah, 18 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and many dear cousins and friends with whom she grew up and cherished dearly.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Donald Murray Fullerton. Corinne was proud to call Pioche her hometown. Her grandmother Hollinger and all her aunts and uncles lived nearby in Eagle Valley. All she ever wanted growing up was to play in the White Rock Mountains and run the hills of Eagle Valley with all her beloved cousins. So, it is only befitting that she be laid to rest there in the Hollinger Cemetery of her grandparents and great-grandparents.

• The funeral service will be held Friday, Sept. 28, at 11 a.m., at the Spilsbury Mortuary with a viewing from 9:30-10:30 a.m.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Spilsbury Mortuary, 435-673-2454.

Sept. 12, 2018

Carita Jones Staheli was called to the candy kitchen in heaven on Sept. 12, 2018. Now she can resume making her cherry chocolates and nut clusters. She is now chiding those who told her that she was too young when she married and that it would never last.

She was born and raised in Enterprise, Utah. She loved the “Enterprise Family” and how they worked and played together. Through the Depression years, she learned that family and friends are the “valuable gems” in life. She often said, “We didn’t know we were poor, we were just like everyone else.”

Enterprise, Pioche, Provo, Hurricane, Richfield and Washington have been her homes and she loved so many people in each town. She loved Jesus Christ and enjoyed serving him in every area she lived. She was proud to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Carita was the ninth child of Arthur P. and Edna Hulet Jones. Theone, Agnes, Marion, Paul, Ardel, Herman, Hope, Dwight, Trenton and Thayne made up her family. She went to all grades of school in Enterprise.

She married Karl Staheli in the St. George Temple in November 1942 and was married for 72 years. They raised five children: Allen, Ronald, Howard, Karla and Matthew. There are 17 grandchildren and the 29th great-grandchild is on the way.

Carita worked hard to give her children every advantage she could. Her love and support meant everything. Ninety-three years went so quickly, but we are grateful that our mother has been with us for advice and counsel. Her hugs and kisses have always made things better.

A special thanks to those good and kind family, friends and caring people who have done so much and been so kind to her through the past eight years. We want to thank the care centers who have given love and respect to our mother. Many thanks also to the people at Integrated Hospice who are fantastic. We thank the youth groups who have been “paying it forward” by coming and singing hymns almost every Sunday. May blessings be multiplied upon you. Your hugs and voices were a delight.
