Jean LaVon Poyer, age 84, a loving and faithful daughter of our Heavenly Father, returned home to Him on Dec. 31, 2015. Born in Guttenberg, Iowa in 1931, she would eventually live in 29 states. Her father was a dam builder and an aircraft machinist during World War II. Her love of music started when she was just seven years old in Mineral Wells, Texas. When she was 13, her family settled in Grand Island, Nebraska, and at age 15, she entered Nebraska Wesleyan University as a pre-med student. However, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. Her love of music developed into a love of opera. She became the youngest member of Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians (a famous singing group during the Big Band era). She continued her education and earned a degree in secondary education and child psychology from the University of California at Berkeley. After this she went on to teach school and eventually gained three more degrees in psychology. In 1976, Jean and her daughter, Teri, moved to Tooele. In total, she taught primary and secondary grades and college courses for 50 years, teaching sixth grade at Sterling Harris Elementary School in Tooele for the last 23 years of her career. She also taught private vocal lessons for 30 years. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints she taught young adults, seminary, sunday school and for many years was a chorister. At one time she was a member of the Tooele Utah Stake Relief Society Presidency. Her strong faith of the gospel enabled her to accept and overcome the many trials in her lifetime. Her Heavenly Father always came first as she knew that her mortality was just a temporary state and that eventually she would return home to Him. She loved her daughter unconditionally and was a strong example of what Heavenly Father expected from her. The rest of her family consisted of four-legged bundles of love (dogs, cats and horses). Jean grew up with horses and was a strong equestrian. She was Daddy’s little girl, loved him dearly and was the only child. She was deeply loved and will be deeply missed. On Wednesday, Jan. 6, a viewing will be held at the Little Mountain Ward, 777 E. Skyline Drive, Tooele, from 10:30-11:30 a.m. followed by the funeral at noon.

Ali was first and foremost a wife and mother and found joy in just being with her family. Her three “boys” were her life! She was an avid soccer mom, talented crafter, and thoroughly enjoyed a good practical joke. Ali always had country music playing but would occasionally switch it to pop and dance around the kitchen with one of the boys. Our annual family camping trips to Palisade Reservoir were a favorite of hers. Ali taught us how to fight courageously and never give up. She taught us how to go through struggle and pain with abundant grace. 2 Tim. 4:7 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Roger’s angel left her earthly body in trade for a strong and healthy one to spend eternity with her Savior. Ali has many friends and family who will miss her beyond what words can express. She will be greatly missed by Roger Daniels (husband), Kaleb Daniels (son), Gage Daniels (son), Patti Cook (mother), Todd and Melanie Heitman (sister), Dennis Williams (brother), Craig Puff (brother), along with many more friends and family.

As a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend, she will be missed. Deb loved life. She knew how to make the darkest days seem bright for everyone she came in contact with. She had a very successful career at Dugway Proving Ground and was very proud of the contributions she made during her 28 years of service.

We lost an amazing father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, brother, cousin and friend. Jack Alverson Painter peacefully returned home to our loving Heavenly Father on Jan. 9, 2016. Jack was born March 9, 1926, to (Aaron) Leroy Painter and Leah Alverson Painter Terkelson in Stockton, Utah. He is preceded in death by his mother and father, brothers Earl Leroy Painter (Paula) and Norman W. Terkelson, uncle and childhood best friend Jay Alverson, his first wife Katherine Mary Annis Painter, son Norman Leroy Painter, Kevin Degelbeck, son-in-law Ed Wanlass and grandchildren (Christopher) Ryan Goins and (Duwayne) Adam Elder. He is survived by his brother Eugene Niel Painter (Barb), wife Jeannette Johnson Painter, daughters Pam Wanlass, Kathy Painter Sacre (Tim), Monty Degelbeck, Ron Jay Painter (Val), daughter Paulette Thompson, 15 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren. On Oct. 9, 1954, he married Katherine Mary Annis and had three children: Kathy Lynn, Norman Leroy, and Ron Jay Painter. After the death of his first wife, he then married Jeannette Johnson on July 16, 1976, and became a father to three additional children: Pam, Monty and Paulette. This July, they would have been married 40 years. Jack was a member of the Merchant Marine Corps from 1941-1945 and served his military time during World War II. Jack was proud to serve his country and was very proud of his grandsons Jared Gustin and Clinton Fox, who both served in the military and his great-grandson Jonathan Sacre, who will be joining this summer after he graduates from Tooele High School. It took from the time he was discharged from the Merchant Marine Corps in 1945 to 1988 when this branch of military was recognized as having “veteran status.” Jack would tell the story that Roosevelt had all the paperwork done to make them vets but when he died the paperwork was not processed. During his service and while in Calcutta, Jack bought a suitcase and he put his initials on it JAP. He was not allowed to take it back on the ship because it had JAP. In order to get it on board, he scratched the A off. During one of his trips they brought more than 300 monkeys into New York. When Jack saw the Statue of Liberty he was in awe. He worked for Dugway Proving Grounds as an electrician for 30 years. The last two years he was working in the fire department. He retired from Dugway in 1981. Jack and Jeannette opened a bar located on Broadway called J & J’s in 1979. The building has apartments upstairs they rent out as low-income housing. Jack and Jeanette have provided local jobs for the last 37 years. He has always strived to provide an environment that makes his patrons feel welcome no matter their walk of life. Jack would always have an ear for his friends and a good word of advice. He always had a good sense of humor and he was quick with a comeback, however you did not want to get on his bad side. Jack was an honest man, a handshake was all that was needed. He loved his family and would do whatever it took to help them. He would open his home to his grandchildren. Some of the sayings that his grandchildren have learned from him over the years are “What does that have to do with the price of rice in China?” “Don’t spit on the floor, use the cuspidor, that’s what it’s for.” “The cow kicked Nellie in the belly in the barn.” His favorite story is when he is asked how he got the scar on his back. He would tell you that he was bit by a shark. Some of his grandkids believed that story until they were 30 years old. Jack Alverson Painter will be missed by his friends, family and the community of Tooele. A graveside service will be held Thursday, Jan. 14, 2016, at 2 p.m. in the Tooele City Cemetery, with a visitation from noon-1:30 p.m. at Tate Mortuary, 110 S. Main Street.

He attended the University of Utah, then joined the U.S. Army.  He retired after 38 years working as an engineer tech at the Tooele Army Depot.

Kezia Maxine Heaton Brady passed away on Friday, Jan. 8 at her daughter’s home in Stansbury Park, Utah. Maxine was born in Moccasin, Arizona, June 16, 1927, the first of 10 children to C. Leonard and Edna R. Heaton. She attended a one-room school in Moccasin, lived away from home to attend Fredonia High School, entered Dixie Junior College at age 16 and graduated from BYU in 1948 in chemistry and mathematics. In 1951, Maxine was hired by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) to work at the Nuclear Reactor Testing Site near Arco, Idaho, as a chemist. She was sent to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to train in the maintenance of nuclear reactors. It was in Idaho that she met Wells Brady, who also worked for the AEC and kept her lab equipment operational. They were married Sept. 17, 1952, in Elko, Nevada, and were sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple on Aug. 13, 1987. Maxine filled her life with family and service. Besides working with Wells at Wells’ Radio-Television Sales and Service in Rigby, she ran a home, bore seven children and loved Wells’ two children as her own. When circumstance and opportunity allowed it, she volunteered at the local elementary school. When her last baby arrived, she returned home and cared for her new daughter and quite a few other children as well. Many fondly remember her 13 years as the Harwood Elementary School secretary. It was more than a desk job for her. She kept the many love notes from children and teachers. One year ago, Maxine became critically ill for the first time. Instead of slowing down, she bounced back and lived what we refer to as her “Victory Lap.”  She traveled to family events including two family reunions, scaled a mountain to her favorite childhood spot, climbed an apple tree with her great-grandchildren, and sorted through generations of family mementos. She increased her study of the scriptures and deepened her service and friendships. And most precious, she overcame her reluctance to speak in front of people and bore her testimony of the Savior on her final Sunday at church. She is survived by six daughters, Katherine (Bill) Goldberg of West Bountiful, Utah; Louise (Robert) Stewart of Stansbury Park, Utah; Annette (Jens) Fugal of Lawrenceburg, Kentucky; Jean (Ron) Arnott of Mentone, California; Carol (Victor) Dupuis of Ucon, Idaho; and Evelyn (Jeff) Hawley of Tooele, Utah; three sons, William Edward (Mary Ann) Brady of Bel Air, Maryland; Luther Wells (Francine) Brady of San Bernardino, California; and Arthur Leonard (Michele) Brady of Tooele, Utah; 59 grandchildren and 76 great-grandchildren with at least four on the way. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by one brother and five grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Friday, Jan. 15, at 11 a.m. in the Tooele North Stake Center, Tooele, Utah. Burial will be in the Annis Little Butte Cemetery in Rigby, Idaho, on Saturday, Jan. 16, at 1 p.m. The family invites friends to greet them at the Rigby Stake Center immediately following.

John Andrew Dreitzler passed away peacefully on Jan. 11, 2016, with family by his side. John was born on Oct. 21, 1925, in Park City, Utah, to Glen Dreitzler and Nellie Mair. He married Evelyn Gladys Herron on Dec. 18, 1946. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. John told wonderful stories of growing up in Park City. His father, who worked as a miner, died when he was just a teenager, and he moved with his mother and three sisters to Heber. Always a hard worker, John found various jobs to help support the family until he was drafted into the Army, where he served in Europe during World War II. When he returned, he was stationed at the Tooele Army Depot where he met Evelyn. Six months later, they ran away to Ely, Nevada, together with Evelyn’s sister Blanche and her fiancé Lloyd Berry to be married in a double wedding ceremony. The two couples remained best of friends their entire lives. “Jack,” as he was known to his family and friends in Park City and Heber, shared a special life-long bond with his cousin Howard Wall — they were brothers. The two always greeted each other with “howdy” followed by a big, mischievous smile. John worked at the Tooele Army Depot, and he ran “John’s Barber Shop,” where he had a loyal following of regular customers. John appreciated the simple things in life. He had a good sense of humor and he loved to give crazy “nicknames” to friends and family. He was very proud of all of his children and grandchildren. His family was everything to him. He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Evelyn; son Ron and wife Debbie; daughter Debbie Nisson; grandchildren Camille Martinez, Allison Miller, Lindsey Pace, Lauren Dreitzler, Leslie Reese, Deidra Sandoval and Brooks Nisson; and nine great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by two sons, Larry Dreitzler and Jim Dreitzler. The family sends a special thank you to his caregivers Rose, Cheryl Lynn, Barbara, Tina and Canyons Hospice. Funeral services will be held Saturday, Jan. 16 at 2 p.m. at the Tooele LDS 11th Ward, 180 S. Coleman Street. A viewing will be held Friday, Jan. 15 from 6–8 p.m. at Tate Mortuary, 110 S. Main, Tooele, Utah, and one hour prior to the funeral. Interment Tooele City Cemetery.
