Obit Robert Bruce Scott, Jr.Robert Bruce Scott Jr. (Bob), our dear father, grandfather, and husband of the late Peggy M Scott, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer Jan. 9, 2019, at the age of 79.

He was born Sept. 25, 1939, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Robert and Elvira Scott, and grew up in Tooele. He married his sweetheart Peggy on Oct. 8, 1962, and started his own family. He began working at the Tooele Army Depot with the depot engineers and eventually became a quality assurance representative in the AMMO Division. During his career with the government he was able to perform duties in many domestic and foreign countries, was accredited with several civilian service citations, and also gained the nickname of Scotty.

Bob was a member of the LDS Church and although not active, he did welcome and enjoy visits from the area ward members, developing special friendships with many. He was also a member of the Elks and Eagles fraternities for many years and participated in many of their fundraising events.

He was an avid hunter, fisherman, all around outdoorsman, and taught his sons and grandchildren everything they needed to know about those subjects and life. He loved the mountains and red-rock country of southern Utah and, together with his father Bruce, built a family cabin in 1973 located in beautiful Grover, Utah, to be close to the country where he loved to recreate.

Bob was genuine, honest, kind, and he and Peggy affectionately loved their family more than anything else. He enjoyed visiting and sharing stories with everyone and especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren (the toads). Robert humbly showed his caring nature by taking care of his wife Peggy during her life and devoted many years to taking care of his own mother and father. He was never hesitant to provide for and ensure all of us were well taken care of.

As a supercar and motorcycle fanatic Bob enjoyed restoring cars and building sport recreational vehicles and riding motorcycles. As a skilled carpenter he loved to make furniture, artful Native American and Western crafts in his garage; many of which sold for high dollar in Park City. He also loved taking care of his home and yard which were always finely maintained.

Robert is survived by his sons; Robert B. Scott III, Curtis B (Moi) Scott, and Brian G (Brenda) Scott, all residing in Tooele; six grandchildren; Rhiannon (Jonathan) Anderson, Cheyenne R. Scott, Cassidy A. Scott, Halen G. Scott, Darian P. Scott, and Myleigh S. Scott; and three great-grandchildren, Bentley Gage Baxter, Malin Marie Anderson, and Jude Davin Anderson.

He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Bruce Scott Sr., mother Elvira K. Scott, sister Mary Scott, and his wife Peggy M Scott. As we celebrate his life, may they celebrate in reunion.

A graveside service will be held at 3 p.m., Friday, Jan. 18, at the Tooele City Cemetery, 361 S. 100 East, (Delamare Ln. and Swan Dr.) for an internment and family prayer followed by a celebration of life to be held from 4 to 8 p.m., at the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge, 1100 E.

Obit Margaret Alice Abbott Martinez 1Margaret Alice Abbott Martinez, better known as “Saint Peg,” left this world Jan. 21, 2019, surrounded by loving members of her family and with many compassionate thoughts and prayers by those who could not be present by her side. Obit Margaret Alice Abbott Martinez 2She was born in Tooele, Utah, Oct. 18, 1931, to Joseph and Katherine McCoy Abbott at her parents home on West Vine Street. She was the youngest of five children. She graduated from Tooele High School with the class of 1949. She married Fred Martinez on Aug. 22, 1953, and celebrated 65 years of marriage in 2018. They lived briefly in Edgemont Living Quarters in Tooele before moving back to Peggy’s safe haven, her cherished home on Vine Street. She remained there for more than 87 years; it was her dream to never move away again, to raise her seven children there and to welcome all their friends and later their extended families with open arms. It’s amazing to think how many kids entered the doors of her little house on West Vine Street and the stories they still share today — that is the power of love.

Fred, her lifelong spouse, just recently passed away Jan. 7 of this year, his death contributed greatly to her health decline. Thankfully, Peggy’s lessons of hope and faith taught her family that their reunion will be glorious in the Kingdom of Heaven. Peggy was truly a living saint. She expelled an aura of unconditional kindness and compassion to all who came in contact with her. She never sought after material possessions or anything fancy. She was extremely humble and full of divine joy; she only wanted what was best for you. She was a devout Catholic and dedicated an extreme amount of her life to the church. She taught Catechism for more than 20 years, was the organist at many Masses, weddings, and funerals, and retired from the church after several years of secretarial work. She received the Parish’s Catholic Woman of the Year Award in 1979 and received an honored Apostolic Blessing signed by Pope John Paul II. God came first in her life, which led to her being the most beautiful wife and mother any child could ask for. Her family will miss her greatly!

Peggy is survived by six sons and one daughter: Fred (Terri), Kenney (Sylvia), Joey, Paul, Diane McArthur (Matt), Victor, Jeffrey (Amber); fourteen grandchildren; two step-grandchildren; seventeen great-grandchildren; two step great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.  She was preceded in passing by her parents; husband; brother, David; sisters, Mary, Patricia and Josephine. She also lost three incredible grandchildren: Brooks and Eric Martinez, and Patricia McArthur.

The Holy Sacrifice of her Funeral Mass will be Saturday, Jan. 26, at 11 a.m. A viewing will take place the evening before, Friday, Jan. 25, beginning at 6 p.m. The Holy Rosary will be recited at 7:30 p.m. Both will take place at Saint Marguerite Catholic Church. Peggy and Fred’s remains will be buried together in the Tooele City Cemetery after the funeral. Luncheon to follow at the church. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Saint Marguerite Catholic School in Peggy’s name.
