Denise Ann Bates-Gordon was called back home to be with her loved ones. Denise battled a rare type of leukemia for two and a half years. After roughly seven months of fighting, her youngest daughter Taya donated bone marrow, giving us two extra years to be with our loving mother. Denise was a strong, courageous fighter who kept her head held high through it all. 

Denise was born in Wahiawa, Oahu, Hawaii. Being a military brat, she traveled around the states where they finally planted their roots in Utah. Denise lived a fun and wild life where she met her ex-husband Danny and had three beautiful “chicklets” Stormi, Hope, and Taya. After months of searching, Denise completed her family by getting her fur daughter Abbie. Denise and Danny lived a happy life together but decided to split ways. 

Denise loved to be outdoors. She enjoyed fishing, camping, and gardening. She has always had a soft spot in her heart for animals, especially her little quail friends. She enjoyed spending time with her friends and loved ones and going to yard sales. While she was at home you could find her playing guitar hero or crafting things like bracelets, necklaces, leis, and beautiful wire trees. Denise had an amazing soul and touched the lives of many. She was a great listener and opened her heart to those who needed it. She was always eager to help out and enjoyed meeting new people throughout her life. Denise always talked about how proud she was of her daughters’ accomplishments in life. Some of her greatest gifts in life were her grandbabies.

Denise is survived by her mother Anna; her daughters Stormi (Cody), Hope (Henry), and Taya (Thomas); her brothers and sisters Adele (Robert), John (Desma), Ruth (Jeff), Esther (Mark-deceased); her grandbabies Sighlee, Haegan, Malaki, Hendrix, and Hazel; her grand furbabies Marley, Dexter, Lucy, Lady, and Copper; extended family and close family friends. 

She was preceded in death by her loving father Dennis; brother Ben; sister Mary; brother-in-law Mark; grandson Sieruz; furbabies Abbie, Gus, and Brutus.

Our beautiful mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and grandma will be deeply missed. We will cherish all of the times and sweet memories made with her.

Born at the old Miner’s Hospital in Park City, Utah, to Rosemund Hall and Blaine Barr Bitner, June 14, 1942, Wade lived the first 10 years of his life on “The Ranch.” He worked his next 14 years there taking a break to enlist in the Utah National Guard and then he served in the Central British Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  

With immense courage he stormed the fortress of BYU to capture the heart of Sandra Lee Goff and with much wooing, and the promises of a horse, he married his eternal companion on June 30, 1966. They invited and cherished three and a half dozen children to live with them on this earth which numerically translates to five sons and four daughters: Breneman (Ladean) Bitner, Justin (Celeste) Bitner, Rebecca (Russell) Juber, Morgan (Connie) Bitner, Jennifer (Scott) Anderson, Preston (Jodee) Bitner, Jane (Blake) Burbank, Kathryn (Cody) Myers, and Spencer (Chelsea) Bitner.

Wade’s accomplishments are innumerable, but he always wanted to be known as “Faithful.” Always he was that. Always he was true to himself. His values are work, education, productivity, decisions based on correct information, responsibility with accountability, balance, and honor.

He graduated from the University of Utah with a B.S. in biology, and completed an M.S. in horticulture at Utah State University. He finished as an Associate Professor Emeritus Extension, for Utah State University. He worked 26 years, 16 as Tooele County Extension Agent, 10 years in Salt Lake City as a horticulturist. After retiring, he spent three years in Nauvoo, Illinois, serving two consecutive missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Later he entered the political arena, becoming the Chairman of the Tooele County Commission for four years.  

He taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ from the age of 16 onward, serving as bishop, in the Stake Presidency, counselor to various bishops, Primary teacher, stake missionary, high council member, and ordinance worker at the Salt Lake and Nauvoo temples.  

An avid Boy Scouts of America supporter, Scoutmaster, Cubmaster three times, and committee chairman, he culminated this with the Silver Beaver award. 

In Tooele he held responsibility for the Tooele County Livestock Show and the Tooele County Fair. He worked for years with the 4-H youth programs. He was a founding board member of the Scott M. Matheson Urban Nature Preserve, dba Governor’s Grove. He was the State President of the Utah Extension Agriculture Agents and later the State President of the Utah Extension 4-H Agents Association.

Always the kind, stable, and determined working man, he would never quit the work until a brain tumor dramatically called him home to his Father in Heaven. He was hands on, always learning, interested in everything, and a fount of knowledge, truth, and love.

In lieu of flowers, please consider Wade’s philosophy “Life is uncertain, eat dessert first.” Enjoy dessert with those you love.

Lee Ralph Rydalch passed away in his 80th year, in his sleep, in his chair, in the place he often referred to as the most peaceful in the world, San Diego, California. 

Lee was born Jan. 10, 1941, in Tooele, Utah, to David Louis Rydalch and Lucille Rose Rydalch. He was the oldest of three siblings, and was raised in Erda with his two sisters, Donna Drollinger and Bonnie Rupp. After graduating from high school, he served in the United States Air Force from Aug. 1959 to Aug. 1963 and surveyed many of the runways used for the X-15 Project. Lee married his sweetheart and lifelong companion of nearly 60 years Sherrie Deann Rydalch, Oct. 18, 1961. Their son Lynn D. Rydalch was born while he served at Edwards AFB in July 1962. Their daughter Julie Ann Rydalch was born Jan. 1, 1964, while Lee was studying in Salt Lake City, Utah. He graduated first in his class from the University of Utah College of Law in June 1972, and was the Articles Editor of the Utah Law Review. After graduating from law school he joined the law firm of Luce, Forward, Hamilton, and Scripps in 1972. Lee and Sherrie’s foster daughter Charlene Puente joined the family in 1977. After leaving Luce, Forward, Lee practiced law as a litigator in the Office of the General Counsel for California State Universities, until his retirement. He taught antitrust law in retirement at California Western School of Law. 

In addition to his family commitments and demanding work schedule, Lee served in numerous callings as a member of tThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and he will long be remembered as a champion of the youth and for his tireless service to others. His callings included service as the bishop in the San Diego 12th Ward and as bishop in the San Diego North Stake Mid-Singles Adult Ward. 

Lee was an accomplished listener and an engaging conversationalist. In his spare time he was an avid fan of the University of Utah football and basketball teams, and a fan of the California Angels from their inception. He also had a deep love of film, as evidenced by a personal, indexed collection of movies numbering in the thousands, from which he could recite lines, plots, and characters at will. Those pastimes, often engaged in intensely, could never match his love for watching his granddaughters and now great-granddaughters dance, often on the living room table, to music he selected and to which they passionately performed, or watching his grandsons perform on the football field. 

Lee’s dedication to his family and faith were the foundation of a legacy whose influence will be felt for generations yet unborn. He gave freely of his time, counseled only when asked, and all benefitted from his depth of experience, wisdom, keen sense of humor, and his ability to ground a person’s desires and needs in a rational plan of action that anticipated issues well into the future. His ability to counsel effectively was only exceeded by his generosity in providing the love and resources necessary to help others realize their dreams. 

Great men accomplish great things in the simplest terms, asking nothing in return and blessing the lives of all who have the good fortune of meeting their acquaintance. Lee Rydalch was great man who will be dearly missed. He is survived by his eternal companion Sherrie Rydalch; his sisters, Donna (Jim) Drollinger and Bonnie Rupp; his children and foster daughter, Lynn (Luz) Rydalch, Julie (Sau) Lavatai, and Charlene (Milo) Puente; eight grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. 

Funeral services are scheduled for Saturday, July 3, at 1 p.m., at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 4741 Mt. Abernathy, San Diego, California. The viewing will be held from 12:15 to 12:45 p.m., at the same building. Burial services will be conducted in Woodland, Utah, at a date to be determined later.
