Paul Bjork Cederlof passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 12, 2018, after a courageous battle with cancer.

He was born on May 3, 1948, to Bjork Dale and Joan Child Cederlof. Paul leaves behind a legacy of love for his family, community and country. His love of music was contagious as he was always listening to something from Classical, to Modern and anything in between. He married Camille Washburn on Dec. 20, 1967, and together they had eight children. They later divorced. He then married the love of his life and soul mate Debbie Nix Cederlof on May 5, 1989, for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They spent many wonderful years together and created a spirit of love that he passed on to all of his children and grandchildren. Debbie cared for Paul tirelessly up until the final day of his life. 

He served our country with honor in the First Calvary Airborne of the U.S. Army in the Vietnam conflict. He had a great sense of humor and wit, and he radiated happiness and warmth. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Paul had a very strong testimony of the Gospel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and a love for His Father in Heaven. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, and his daughter, Saila Felver. 

He is survived by his wife, Debbie Cederlof; his children, Andrea (Tom) Schneiter, Heather (Brian) Gerhartz, Trisdana College, Dori Lin (Justin) Pierce, Alysia (Shawn) Humphrys, Paul B. Cederlof, Jr. (Barbie), and Trevor Cederlof; sister, Ann (Ralf) Niebuhr; three brothers, Perry (Cheryl) Cederlof, Craig Cederlof and Dale Cederlof; 24 grandkids, six step-grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Don was born on Aug. 10, 1930, in Tooele, Utah. He was raised in Salt Lake City, lived in the greater Seattle area for 28 years and retired to Tooele where he has lived for the last 19 years.

Don was a devoted husband, father and patriarch. His hard work in sales, marketing and management enabled him to be a good provider. His family and faith were the constant focus of his life. Don served in the U.S. Navy Reserve and is a Korean War Veteran. 

He met his sweetheart Carol and they married on Nov.14, 1951, in the Salt Lake Temple. Don and Carol have been married for 66 years. He was a faithful member of the LDS Church and served as an ordinance worker for 22 years in the Seattle and Salt Lake Temples.

High on Tabby Mountain in Utah on Friday, July 20, 2018, a true Western man, Thomas L. McCarty, decided it was time to start another adventure and so he left to do that. Through his life he mastered telling stories, boxing, raising greyhounds, painting portraits, keeping bars open, managing his workers and keeping his family alert at all times.

Big Papa, as he was known to his grandchildren, learned life from a hardscrabble childhood and then joined the Marines, which set his course for life. He taught his sons how to fight both physically and mentally, how to work and be honest in their lives, and how to care for those around them. His sons say that he was the toughest man they ever knew and he always fought to the end. They all admired and loved him.

His first wife, Joan, died in 2009 after 53 years of marriage. They raised four rambunctious boys and the boys actually lived to tell about it. He married Peggy in 2012, who was with him when he died. They celebrated their life on the mountain every day and enjoyed each other’s company.

Those four rambunctious boys are Bobby (Cindy), Tommy (Pam), Dewayne and Shawn (Michelle). Dewayne will be meeting him on the other side with fishing plans. He inherited Peggy’s two children, John (Ella) and Brenda (Jesse), who love him as much as his sons do. Big Papa had so many grand and great-grandchildren who entertained and cared for him.

Services will be held Thursday, July 26 at Tate Mortuary, 110 S. Main in Tooele and will begin at 1 p.m. with a viewing one hour prior. In lieu of flowers we would like to place a memorial bench in Stansbury Park in memory of Big Tom.

Dorothy “Dot” Jean Malin Vario died peacefully in her home on Thursday, July 19, 2018, in Tooele, Utah at the age of 90. 

Dorothy would like to let you know that her work here is done. She received a call, a sort of an offer you can’t refuse, for an appointment from which she will not be returning. This assignment comes with a huge sign-on bonus: a reunion with family and friends she has not seen in a long time. Her new mission takes her to a wonderful place where she will be socializing, dancing, gardening and reading to her heart’s content. She will be the queen of The Price is Right. Music, laughter and love are guaranteed. She left detailed instructions for her children and grandchildren to celebrate her mission here, which has now been completed.

Dorothy is survived by her children: Doreen (Mike) Outzen, Pat (Julie) Vario, Joyce (the late Steve) Hunt, Harold (Paula) Vario, and Ila (Mike) Sprouse; special niece, Karyl Collier; and her grandchildren, Brent (Aaron) Outzen, Brian Outzen, Sean (Erica) Outzen, Lindsey Borja, Bruce (Melinda) Vario, Cyndie Vario, Nikki Vario-Tomac, Jennifer Smith, Lisa Vario, Tara Vario, Troy (Marisa) Vario, Billy Drown, Danny (Becca) Drown, Karla (Sonny) Davis, Michelle (Angel) Merino, and Matt (Amanda) Sprouse, all of Tooele.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ernest Vario; her son, Allen Vario of Tooele; and her parents, Owen and Olive Malin. 

Dorothy was born on Dec. 23, 1927. She married Ernest Vario on March 9, 1946. The couple welcomed six children, 15 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren and 16 great-great grandchildren into their home.

The family would like to thank the staff of CMS, Jackie Remick, Megan Bickery and Brenda Baldwin, and Dr. Charles Holt and staff for the wonderful care they provided to Dorothy.

Early in the morning on Thursday, July 19, 2018, our sweet mom, grandma, and dear friend, Marcia Jeannine Macklin Stoddard, died. She was 79. Marcia was born April 5, 1939, in Sacramento, California, to Loran (Mack) and Vineta Macklin. She has one brother, Loran.  Officially she has 4 children: Shawna, Mack, Chell and Daniel; and 15 grandchildren and lots of unofficial ones of both. 

Mom is back together now with her husband, Joe, who passed just 8 months ago. They married in Los Angeles on Sept. 15, 1959. They had planned to marry on Sept. 14, but the temple was closed, so Mom spent what was supposed to be her wedding night sharing a room with her soon-to-be sister-in-law, Barbara. It has been sweet to see Mom and Dad grow closer in recent years, with him taking care of her, and Mom growing in appreciation of his loving care. Mom said she misses him and things like their drives up the canyon and sharing a whopper from Burger King.  

Looking back on Mom’s life, it’s clear she touched many people with her great love. Mom and Dad never drew much of a line between family and friends. Every Christmas included someone extra with us. Many times they opened their home for a few weeks or months or years to someone in need, and those people became forever another Stoddard. Chrystal, Gilda and Karin are a few who came to stay for a while at our house and are now another one of Marcia and Joes’s kids.  

Mom loved to cook and sew, and these were ways she expressed her love. If you liked your beef stroganoff without sour cream, she would do it that way. She would cook any meal and dessert you wanted on your birthday. One year, celebrating two birthdays on one day, she made fancy Chinese rice, French crepes, lemon merengue pie and pineapple upside down cake. She made beautiful dresses and ornate Halloween costumes. Some of the notables were Batman (the blue 60s version), a devil with a tail that pinned on your butt, a bear/big-foot/wookie and an extremely detailed ET the Extra Terrestrial costume.  

Mom and Dad collected friends from every place they lived. In Scottsdale, Richardson, Houston, San Jose and Tooele, they found friends that they grew to love and stayed close to in all the years afterward.  

Mom, Marcia, leaves behind loved ones too many to count, and now joins just as many who have left this life before her. We know she is now well and safe and surrounded by love, but we will miss her here with us.  

Services will be on Monday, July 30, 2018, at 11 a.m. at the LDS Chapel in Pine Canyon, Utah, 2032 Churchwood Drive with a prior visitation from 9:30 – 10:45 a.m. Interment will be in the Pleasant Green Cemetery in Magna, Utah.
