Jim Roger Webb returned to his Heavenly Father on Saturday, June 30, 2018, after suffering for a few months with liver cancer. He was born July 23, 1958, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Calvin and Carol Webb. 

Traveling with his family, he attended kindergarten in Fairbanks, Alaska; grade school in Tooele; middle school in Okinawa, Japan; and high school in Tooele. Carol LaForge was a favorite teacher, mentor, and friend, and Jim enjoyed participating in many productions in high school and community theatre. He was a member of the first mime group at Tooele High School, as well as editor of the school newspaper his senior year. After some time at Brigham Young University, he moved to California and completed training to be a travel agent. 

Jim liked meeting people and learning about various cultures. After working in the travel business for a time, he became a reservation agent and worked on special, complicated foreign travel itineraries for United Airlines in Oakland, California. After retiring, Jim volunteered as a docent at the Oakland Zoo and produced the employee newsletter there. He loved animals and adored the various pet cats he provided good homes for over the years. 

Jim moved back to Tooele in 2013 where he was a big help to his parents and sister. Jim’s interests included cooking, bread-making, soap-making, traveling, gardening, and a wide variety of music. He had an exceptional eye for taking interesting photographs, some of which were published. Quilt-making was another unique skill, and Jim made several that he gave away. One special quilt was made for a dear friend using her deceased husband’s shirts. 

Jim was preceded in death by his father and is survived by his mother; sister, Kathy; brother, Doug; sister-in-law, Dee; nine nieces and nephews and their 26 children. A private family burial was held Tuesday, July 3, at Tooele City Cemetery.

Burton Wayne Lowry, 77, beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on June 26, 2018, in Tooele, Utah. 

Wayne was born on Oct. 8, 1940, in King City, California, to Abner Burton and Mary Lunette Black Lowry. He married Verneal Christensen on April 7, 1965, in the Logan LDS Temple. He was an active member of the LDS Church, serving in many positions. He served as a teacher, Scoutmaster, Stake Mission President, and Bishop. He served a mission in Canada for the LDS Church.  

Wayne retired after 38 years of service at Tooele Army Depot. After 23 years of service, he retired as a captain from the Army National Guard. He also served Tooele County as an EMT and most recently, as a school crossing guard. He leaves a legacy of loving the Lord, serving others, creating laughter, and choosing the harder right rather than settling for the easier wrong. 

Wayne was a Master Gardener who loved nature and gardening to the fullest. He loved landscaping, propagating, gardening, and teaching about all of it. He loved to share his plants, fruits, vegetables, knowledge, and skills with anyone showing interest. A visit to Wayne during the harvest season usually meant you were leaving with an armful of produce.

Wayne is survived by his wife of 53 years, Verneal; children: Melanie (Dale) Skelton, Tooele, Utah; Melinda (Ed) Languido, West Valley City, Utah; Burt (Kathie) Lowry, Antioch, Illinois; Shawn (Machelle) Lowry, Morgan, Utah; Daran (Jennifer) Lowry, Layton, Utah; Jeff (Hayley) Lowry, Pocatello, Idaho; Natalie (Kyle) Norman, Santaquin, Utah; Stephanie (Bryan) Feldmann, Tooele, Utah; 31 grandchildren; 1 great-grandson; siblings Kent (Gaye) Lowry, Fred (Karla) Lowry, and Anne Wexels, all of Tooele, Utah.

Together Again

LeAnn Higgs McAdams, of Tooele, Utah, passed away peacefully surrounded by family and loved ones on Thursday, June 28, 2018, at the age of 68, reuniting with her beloved husband.

Born Oct. 9, 1950, to Phyllis and Merlin Higgs in Kaysville, Utah, LeAnn was fun and a great friend to people. She loved to color as a child and was a mama’s girl. Their family enjoyed fishing, camping and traveling together. On one fishing trip, everyone was catching fish, except for her. LeAnn’s dad felt bad and put one of the fish he had caught on her line when she wasn’t looking and put it back in the water. She was so excited to pull in her own fish.

LeAnn graduated from Davis High School in 1969 and married her first husband, Tom Ward after graduation. They later divorced.

She attended Painters Beauty College and worked as a hairdresser. She also worked in respiratory therapy at St. Benedicts Hospital and had other various jobs.

She married Danny Ray Olsen in the early 1980s.  On Jan. 9, 1987, LeAnn gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Alice, who was stillborn. The death of her little Alice was one of LeAnn’s greatest losses. The couple later divorced. 

LeAnn eventually met the love of her life, Michael Shelton McAdams, and the couple married Nov. 12, 2001 in Las Vegas, Nevada. They had very happy years together. Mike would often bring her roses and made her feel like a queen. They enjoyed motorcycle rides together and brought out the best in each other. They were in Bikers Against Child Abuse. LeAnn cared for him in his final years as he went through and lost the battle to Squamous Cell Cancer on Aug. 9, 2007.

A very determined woman, LeAnn lived independently up to the day before her death, even as she struggled with advanced COPD.

LeAnn was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Janeane Hobey; daughter, Alice; and her one true love, Michael.

She is survived by her two sisters, Catherine Nielsen and Elizabeth (James) Holmes; her husband Mike’s children: Tammy, Jackie, Ben, Andrew, Becki and Jeremy; step-mother, Trudy Higgs and her step siblings, David Poulus, Michael Poulus and Kathy Fladie; two nephews, a niece and their children.

Although it breaks our hearts that she is gone, we know she was welcomed into the loving arms of her Heavenly Father and her dear husband, Mike.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, July 7, 2018, at the Overlake 2nd Ward, 1717 Berra Blvd. in Tooele, Utah at 10 a.m., with visitation from 9-9:45 a.m. followed by interment at the Utah Veterans Cemetery and Memorial Park at Camp Williams, where she will be buried with Mike.

Born: 11 June 1934

Died: 1 July 2018

Donald Sterling Halladay was born on June 11, 1934, the second child of Robert Sterling and Susie Ethel (Armstrong) Halladay. His childhood was, by today’s standards, idyllic. He fished, hunted, hiked, swam and played, building a lifelong love for the outdoors. He also developed a love for reading and literature, which led him to a degree in English Education at the University of Utah.  

After his first year at the university, he married Mary Ann Wright in 1954 (later divorced) and they had one son, Kevin. After graduation from the university, he taught in junior high and high schools in Tooele, Dugway and Grantsville. For four years he served as principal at Wendover High School before returning to teaching.  

He met Hildi Gottschalk in 1975 and they married in 1977 in the Salt Lake City Temple, bringing two stepchildren, Diana and Clifford, into the family. The people in his life, including his family, friends and students, gave him great joy. He particularly loved all of his extended family in Grantsville and southern Idaho, treasuring his time with all of them. He loved the writings of Henry David Thoreau and shared Thoreau’s love for nature. He spent countless hours exploring the back roads and trails of Utah, Nevada and Idaho. He was also a talented sculptor in clay and loved to sing with his family. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of coming to know him.

He is preceded in death by his parents, and his older brother, Robert. He is survived by his wife, Hildi; sister-in-law, Patti Halladay; brother, Clare (Karen) Halladay; sister, Marilyn Grant; son, Kevin (Gaile) Halladay; stepdaughter, Diana (Bruce) Shields; stepson, Clifford Gottschalk; and eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

A viewing will be held on Saturday, July 7, 2018, from 9 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. at the Bennion 19th Ward, 6250 S. 2200 West, Taylorsville, Utah, followed by a funeral service at 11 a.m. Interment will be at the Memorial Redwood Cemetery.

Sharon Lee Young, our precious love, passed away on Sunday, July 1, 2018, after battling an illness that ultimately took her from this earth. Sharon was the very embodiment of goodness, friendship and love. She was without guile or malice or spitefulness. Everyone who knew her loved her and basked in her unconditional love in return. 

Sharon was born in Tacoma, Washington, on Oct. 13, 1946. She was the daughter of Vera Marie Davis and Leo Roy Pitts, both of whom preceded her in death.

In 1991, Sharon came to make her home with her cousin and guardian, Frances Weddle and her husband, Terry Weddle. Sharon easily became a beloved member of the family by winning everyone’s heart and their deep devotion.

Sharon was an active member of Special Olympics for many years and accumulated many gold and bronze medals. She especially loved bowling and played in a league for several years. She also loved bocce ball and track as well as swimming. At home she enjoyed embroidery, for which she won several state fair ribbons. She enjoyed music, coloring and making birthday cards for family and friends. Sharon was also a member of the Moose Lodge and happily participated in Karoke night. She never stopped loving Elvis. Besides pictures of her parents, Elvis plates and posters cover the walls of her room. If she had been allowed she would have plastered them all over the house. His music always came first in her heart — with Conway Twitty a distant second.

In our sorrow we, her family, also rejoice that she is free of her broken body at long last and is no longer a broken winged angel that cannot fly.

Sharon is survived by Frances and Terry Weddle as well as other family members including: Rachel, Tyler, Isaac and Sander Spafford, and Christina, Ian, Brenna, and Colin Vokt, all of Tooele; and Terry Damron of Dallas, Texas. Also Robert Morton of Lewiston, Idaho; Brannon, Belen and Braden Jordan of Moscow, Idaho; Sandy Tippery of Boise, Idaho; Julie Pitts of Colorado; and James, Martha, John and Justin Pitts of Florida. Also, many Davis kin from California, Idaho and Kansas, plus a lifetime of friends.

Memorial services will be held Saturday, July 7, 2018, at the Overlake 5th Ward Stake Center, 200 W. 2200 North at 11 a.m., concluding with a light luncheon. Afterward, Sharon will make her last earthly journey to Yakima, Washington, where she will be laid down next to her father and mother in Terrace Heights Memorial Park.

Thomas Guy Murphy, formerly of Tooele, passed away June 1, 2018. He was born July 13, 1955, in Joliet, Illinois, to Ray and Jean Murphy. Tommy, as he was affectionately known by many, lived in Tooele until the summer after the eighth-grade. He made many friends in school, sports, and Catechism at St. Marguerite Catholic Church. Even though he did not graduate from high school in Tooele, he still came to all Tooele High School Class of 1973 reunions and was excited to be coming to the 45th reunion in September. His energy seemed endless, as he kept up friendships by emailing, phone calls, or Facebook messages. Many people received Facebook messages at least weekly, if not daily. He would often end messages with “Your only true friend!”

Tommy made his home in Tucson, Arizona, and was an orthopaedic sales distributor for over 25 years. After retirement, he was a philanthropist who was heavily involved in Special Olympics, Conquistadors, and First Tee Program.

His elderly parents, who reside in Chicago, Illinois, survive Tommy. He managed to visit them once or twice monthly, and along with his brother Ray, took excellent care of them.

His daughter Mariah of Tucson and his brother Ray of Chicago, also survive Tommy. His son Bryan preceded him in death. There was a funeral Mass on June 26, 2018, at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Tucson.

The Tooele High Class of ’73 is hosting a Celebration of Life on July 14 at 3 p.m. It will be held at the lounge at Pins and Ales Bowling and Entertainment. Friends of all ages over 21 are invited to attend.

RIP our friend Tommy.

“Mommy’s Boy and Daddy’s Buddy”

Up in a tree, atop the dugout, in the water, riding his bike or free ranging at the ballpark, this is where you would find our beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend, Kayson.

In Kayson’s short life, he impacted everyone he met, from being the shoelace bandit in the football community to being the leader of the free-range children at the softball fields to being the dugout monkey at the baseball fields and a friend to everyone in the diving community. He had a special way of making everyone laugh. He was currently a student at Middle Canyon Elementary School. He will be sorely missed.

Sophia Franches Allcott, 87, formerly of Salt Lake City, passed away Monday, July 2, 2018. Born in Tooele on June 13, 1931, into a family of Greek immigrants, her aspiration to succeed in the larger world led her first to Salt Lake City, and then to live and contribute to others’ lives in many parts of the U.S. 

A graduate of Tooele High School, she worked at the phone company as a switchboard operator and relocated to Salt Lake where, along with her sister, Stella, she established her independence. In 1958, she met John Allcott, to whom she was married for 30 years. They raised a family of four children and lived, traveled, and enjoyed camping through various parts of the country, finally settling in Moline, Illinois, where she ensured her children’s well-being and future.

Always a devoted mother, Sophia was happiest giving to others and taught her children to do the same. In the 1970s, through the United Methodist Church, she coordinated the relocation of an immigrant Vietnamese family to Illinois. Her goodwill and empathy ensured that they were not only able to establish a life and livelihood in America, but also to secure the future of their children. Later in life, when she returned to Salt Lake, she first volunteered, then became a house manager at the Ronald McDonald House where her compassion for children and her resilient spirit made a difference in the lives of many families.

In Salt Lake City, she created a home and garden in the Avenues that were a respite and comfort to family and friends. She moved to Cookeville, Tennessee, to be near her son’s family. She loved live classical music and was an ardent supporter of the Bryan Symphony Orchestra, attending performances frequently.

Sophia grew up speaking Greek and English, loved Greek food and dancing, and shared her heritage with her family. She was proud to have traveled to Greece as an adult where she met extended family for the first time. Baptized in the Greek Orthodox Church, she raised her family in the United Methodist Church. She was most recently a member of First United Methodist Church in Salt Lake City.

She is survived by: children, Lisa (Salt Lake City), Michael and partner Sergey Moskovtsev (Toronto), Philip and wife Regina (Midland, Texas) and Daniel and wife Susan Capron (Cookeville, Tennessee); grandchildren, Carter, Jacqueline, Daria and Sophia; sister, Stella Franches (Salt Lake City); niece, Geneve Cromar and husband Mark (Salt Lake City); and many Allcott and Franches nieces and nephews. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Nicholas and Gianoula Franches; and her sisters, Bessie Kulias, Virginia Franches, Helen Douvris, Tula Costa, Mary Cotsifas and Tessie Cox.

Dolores L. Yarbrough passed away peacefully on July 13, 2018, at Rocky Mountain Care in Tooele, Utah, at the age of 87.  She was born Jan. 11, 1931, to James and Corda Ward in Oklahoma and was raised in California.

Dolores moved to Tooele in 1962 after transferring from the Benicia Arsenal to work at Tooele Army Depot. She retired after 34 years of dedicated service.  She was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1969, where she served in many callings including Relief Society President.  

She dedicated her life to serving others. She spent countless hours as the Secretary/Treasurer of the Babe Ruth Baseball League in Tooele for many years. She also served as President of Tooele County Senior Citizen Center. On many occasions, she provided transportation to people in need, whether a ride home from the center, simple errands around town, or doctor appointments in Salt Lake City. In her younger years, she was a beautiful singer, and shared her talent at many funerals, weddings, church services, and social functions bringing joy to others. She felt that singing was a God-given talent to be shared whenever possible. 

From the day of her retirement, she dedicated her free time to her children and grandchildren who lived close to her in Tooele by baby-sitting, providing rides, and attending various events.  Her fear of flying kept her from visiting other family members as often as she would have liked. 

Dolores is survived by her children, Suzanne Howell, of Kiln, Mississippi, and Brad (Sue) Patch, of Tooele, Utah;  two sisters, Daphne June Kilgore of Pensacola, Florida, and Sally Ann McGowan of Fanshawe, Oklahoma. She was blessed to have six grandchildren: Robert (Kori) Vincent, Tracy (Mark) McMaster, Melanie (Mike) Holmes, Mike (Camille) Patch, Jason (Tania) Patch, Staci (Trevor) Williams; and 20 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren.  

The family would like to thank Rocky Mountain Care in Tooele, and the Hospice personnel for their care and compassionate service to Dolores and her family. 

Graveside services will be held at the Tooele City Cemetery on Thursday, July 19, 2018, at 11 a.m. A viewing will be held at Tate Mortuary from 9:30-10:30 a.m. the morning of the service.

Dee served valiantly in many callings in the LDS Church, such as Relief Society President, Young Women President, and Primary President. She was devoted to the Lord and cherished the companionship of the Holy Ghost. During Dee’s 18- year career, she worked for FMC, DMBA, and DMC, where she was the executive secretary to the CEO.

She loved sewing/quilting, hiking in the mountains and sitting on the beaches of San Diego.

Dolores is survived by her husband, Lawrence Sidney; her children, Shawn and his wife Vida, Heather and her husband Ken; 14 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. 

She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Dolores and Junius; and sister, Sharon.

Thank you to Chris and the dialysis team who treated Dee with love and respect, and to hospice for their tender care in her last days. Thank you also to her many special friends who have been with Dee to the very end.
