Obituary: Hannah Jane Oliver Kempton
Ninety six years and one month ago in Fairview, Utah on Dec 27, 1878
A baby girl was born to William Temple Oliver and Nancy Frances Lover n . She was the twelfth of thirteen children. All have preceded her i n de ath.
The name given her was Hannah Jane Oliver…He husband called he Hanny…H e r children called her Mama…Her grandchildren and great grandchildren ca ll ed her Granny Hanny, and her relatives and friends caller her Aunt Han nah .
There was a closeness and strong tie of love between her and her famil y w hich extended down to the youngest great grandchild. This love was s how n through the years by tokens of remembrance on her birthdays and Chr istm as, but best of all by the many visits paid her during her life. Al so th e love is reflected by the presence of all her children, except on e son , Orson, who could not attend because of the bad weather and trave l condi tions in Michigan, and so many of her grandchildren and great gra ndchildr en coming long distances from all parts of the state and nation.
She had a long full life here but left us on Jan. 27, 1975 to join her h u sband and four children who preceded her in death. She was the mothe r o f ten children…six living. She has 32 grandchildren, 120 great grand chil dren and 34 great-great grandchildren.
In 1881, at the age of 2 years, she came with her family, by team and wa g on, to Arizona. Their first home was in Holbrook, Arizona. Here her f at her, with his teams of horses, worked on the first railroad that was b ein g built there. Their home was not fancy but a happy one. It was a d ugou t in the mountain side. Their bedrooms were covered wagon boxes bui lt o n short stilts. The work here provided them with money to move on . Afte r living here for two years, they moved to Adair, Arizona, Whic h is now S howlow. This was one of her fondest memories of her childhoo d days. Sh e has said many times, “It still seems like most of my earl y childhood da ys were spent at Showlow, which is not true as we lived th ere only unti l 1888.”
In 1888 they came to the Gila Valley…settling in Curtis, which is now Ed e n. Here, for a short time, they lived in a small stockade house for pr ot ection from the Indians. Later her father purchased an unfinished tw o st ory house from Monroe Curtis, which he finished and here she lived u nti l she was married.
She attended the Eden School and her High school days were spent at th e o ld Gila Academy in Thatcher. She loved to tell stories of her girlho od d ays and of the fun they had. This is a quote from her life story sh e wro te: “My girlhood days were spent here and they were many happy one s. W e didn’t have the kind of entertainment that the young people hav e today , ours were going to church socials and dancing. We always wen t in a cro wd and may go for a walk to places of interest. We used to mak e a swing f rom the cottonwood trees that grew along the river or farms . The Fourt h of July and the 24th was a big day for all, and ended wit h a dance at n ight. Everyone enjoyed these days. We were happy and eve ryone was ver y friendly with their neighbors. People visited with one a nother them da ys. It was not unusual for the neighbors to go stay ove r night with frie nds.”
She was married to Asa Bradford Kempton Oct. 20, 1897. They were seal e d in the Mesa Temple Jan 5, 1928.
They farmed in Eden. Her ten children were: Fred, Lloyd, Orson and Gra n t Kempton. Mary Jane Hawkins, Beulah Perkins , Pearl Bigler, and Viol a K empton who passed away at the age of 3, and two babies who died at bi rth . As was mentioned before six of these children survive her today. H er d aughter, Mary Jane Hawkins passed away Oct 9, 1974
Hannah was always active in the Church and held many positions. She w a s President of the Primary for twelve years. President of the Relief S oc iety for four years, and secretary and teacher in various organization s d uring her lifetime.
Besides her busy home life and church duties, she always found time to h e lp others in the community, caring for the sick, delivering babies whe n t he doctor was late arriving, which was often the case in those hors e an d buggy days. She was always ready to go where help was needed.
On Oct 20, 1947, she and Asa celebrated their Golden Anniversary which w a s one of the highlights of their lives.
After her husband’s death in 1952, she moved to Safford where she live d u ntil her death, but she never forgot those wonderful memories of he r day s spent in Eden. I would like to read a poem she composed which ex presse d her sentiments and the sadness she felt as the school and churc h in he r little town of Eden, where she had spent most of her life, wer e taken a way. | Oliver, Hannah Jane (I161450)

The speakers at the services were: Heber Beckstrand, Jesse Bennett, Dani e l Bushnell, Leo Stott, A.J.T. Sorenson and Pres. T. Clark Callister. Ge or ge Bushnell sang a solo; "Lay My Head Beneath a Rose" and Mrs. Edith C o x sang a solo, accompanied by the choir.

Her husband and her two babes, as well as her mother and brother s an d sisters, have the sincerest sympathy of all the people who know th em.
Grace Stewart
Sadly, my father's (DeLyle Beckstrand) memories of his mother are very f e w. He told me that on the day his mother died (he was just 5 years old ) h e remembered his dog howling. People were running in and out of th e hous e and he was told to stay outside so he sat on the front porch ste ps. H e knew something very bad had happened.
Another memory from my father occurred after his mother had died. Whe n h e was a young boy riding his horse out on the desert herding cattle , he w as hot, tired, and had his leg thrown over the saddle horn while l oosel y holding the reins. Suddenly he heard his mother's voice just a s clea r as if she was right next to him. She said, "DeLyle! Sit in tha t saddl e and hold on!" He immediately obeyed and didn't even have tim e to wonde r about hearing his mother's voice when suddenly a very larg e rattlesnak e started buzzing right in front of the horse. The horse re ared back an d took off bucking in fright. DeLyle was holding on tight an d managed t o stay on the horse, rather than being thrown off on top of t hat snake . Being bitten by a rattlesnake, without a horse to get back t o town, wo uld have been a death sentence for the young boy. His mother w as watchin g over him then and he felt she always did throughout his life .

Bobette Heppler Peterson Johnson passed away in Salt Lake City on Decemb e r 4, surrounded by her family. She had broken her hip in a fall the d a y before Thanksgiving.
She was a lovely and loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, an d f riend. For almost 92 years, she shared her great spirit, sense of hu mor , and musical talents with everyone she met. Her testimony of the Ch urc h of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sustained her through many tri als , including scarlet fever as a child, hepatitis as an adult and the d eath s of two children and her husband Glendon E Johnson.
Throughout their lives together, Glendon and Bobette were living testimo n ies of love, for each other, for their friends and for the Lord. Bor n 2 8 January 1924 in Richfield, Utah, Bobette was the daughter of Jame s M Pe terson II(Jr) a banker and Louisiana Heppler. As the last of 11 c hildren , she learned early about self-reliance and sharing. Bobette oft en sai d that her parents' story profoundly influenced her own. Their ser vice a s missionaries in Texas and Louisiana and her father's calling a s a couns elor in the Manti Temple Presidency after a heart attack taugh t her lesso ns in sacrifice and service that she would emulate the rest o f her life . She was 14 when her father died and her mother's cheerful o utlook duri ng difficult times, faithful church service, and devotion t o family woul d later be reflected in Bobette's own life. When Bobette m et Glendon a t East High School, they began an eight-year courtship tha t led to 64 mar ried years together. After her graduation in 1942, she a ttended Utah Sta te Agricultural College where she joined Chi Omega Soror ity. She transfe rred to Brigham Young University and graduated in journ alism in 1947. He r first job was working in the Salt Lake City wire roo m of Merrill Lynch.
The couple waited for Glendon to complete his overseas tour as a capta i n in the army and then serve a mission to New England before being marr ie d. On 15 August 1949, President Stephen L Richards of the First Presi den cy of the Church sealed the couple in the Salt Lake Temple. Bobett e an d Glendon first lived in Boston where he attended Harvard Law School . Hi s career would take them to homes in Chevy Chase, Maryland; Salt La ke Cit y, Utah; Houston, Texas; Galveston, Texas and Miami, Florida. Whe n they l ived in the Washington DC area, Bobette was a secretary to Sen W allace Be nnett (R-UT) while Glendon worked as his Administrative Assista nt. Bobet te also performed with the "Singing Mothers," a group of LDS w omen who sa ng at the 1964 World's Fair.
The couple had three children. After Glendon Jr ("Woody") and Eric Andr e w ("Shad") were born, Bobette lost five other pregnancies that were nea rl y full-term. But they were blessed to adopt a two-year-old Texas gir l th ey named Tawny Bobette. With grace and faith, Glendon and Bobette l ate r faced the loss of Shad in a car accident at age 22 and Tawny of leu kemi a at age 12. Such faith, coupled with resilience, generosity, and w arm h ugs, were the hallmarks of Glendon and Bobette, and as a team, the y inspi red and touched many lives. They were a stunning couple, whethe r ridin g horses at the family ranch, dancing the two-step, or deliverin g mince m eat pies they made as Christmas gifts. Their home was alway s a busy plac e. Glendon served as president of the Houston Texas Stake , a Regional Re presentative, and CEO of several insurance companies. Bob ette was a graci ous hostess who welcomed people of all faiths and backgr ounds into her ho me. She too was a leader, serving five times as Relie f Society President . She worked on community service projects and gav e tours as a docent a t the Museum of Church History and Art (now calle d the Church History Mus eum). Her home was filled with roses, chocolat e chip cookies, mystery no vels, and shoes with super high heels--and fe w people ever left her hom e without a root beer in hand. To her three g randdaughters, Bobette wa s a beloved Nana with a colorful wit, classy st yle and love of life. He r energy and sweet tooth never waned, outlastin g even that of dear great- grandchildren she plied with Gummy Fish. Sh e also had a special bond wit h her siblings. Whenever the seven "Peters on girls" got together, ther e was laughter and singing; in beautiful har monies, they preserved famil y songs and lullabies. The spunky Richfiel d girl who honored her Danish- German ancestry by having the cleanest hou se on the block, who could hul a and perform underwater ballet, who taugh t modeling and charm classes, a nd who would walk a mile in the rain fo r ice-cream will be greatly misse d by her family and many friends.
It's been four long years since Glendon passed away, but Bobette told t h e little ones that when she sees her cowboy again, she's going to shou t , "Yippee!"
She is survived by her son Woody, his wife Page and three granddaughte r s and their families: Jenny and Mark Champoux (Justin, Brooke, Jack); E ri n and Kyle Stewart (Ellie and Avery); Katie and Matt Critchfield.
Funeral services are Friday December 11 at noon Monument Park 16th War d 1 320 Wasatch Drive, SLC with a viewing beforehand from 10:00-11:30. I nter ment will be Saturday at the family ranch in southern Utah. Funera l Dire ctors Larkin Mortuary. | Peterson, Bobette Heppler (I163958)

Words of Ruth Ida Ruchti:
I am Ruth Ruchti Tippets, daughter of Ernest N. Ruchti and Mabel Ann Da w . I was born on January 10, 1914 in Ashton, Idaho, in a home there a t 11 :30 p.m. I was the first child out of four children and the only gi rl . My mother was 21 years old at the time of my birth. I weighed 6 lb s . and was 20 inches long when I was born. My family said I had blue ey es , dark hair, fair skin, and looked a lot like my mother. I was blesse d a t church in Logan, Utah, June 7, 1914, because my grandparents live d ther e. My middle name Ida came from my mother’s best friend. My fath er alwa ys called me blue eyes and loved to rock me to sleep.
I began walking at one year and to talk at the age of two. During my ea r ly childhood years, I lived in Arimo, Idaho, where my dad farmed. My b ro thers, Ross, Daw, Jack, and I used to play marbles on the kitchen floo r w hen my mother and father went out. We moved to Pocatello and whe n I wa s six my folks bought a home in South Arthur where I lived and wen t to sc hool at Emerson Elementary. I also had my tonsils taken out an d could on ly have ice cream to eat, and it was great. My best friends i ncluded Cat herine Reddy and Margaret Evans. We would often play hide-an d-go-seek, b aseball, and run-sheep-run. All the kids in our neighborhoo d came over t o our house and we played the player piano and sang songs a nd made cand y and popcorn balls. By babysitting the Bishop’s childre n I would get 2 5 cents an hour and would have to feed 3 children, give t hem a bath, an d put them to bed. We could go over and see a play at th e auditorium fo r 20 cents and that’s what we did on the weekends. In th e spring, the Sn ake River by our house would overflow and all the kids w ould go wading ou t on a raft in it. My mother was always afraid we woul d drown. When I w as older, my mother always went with my friends and m e out to the 3rd War d dances. My brother Ross and I always had lots o f fun there. We had t o be home by midnight and we could always go out o n the weekends. Vacati ons were usually spent at Mink Creek, a place i n the hills of Pocatello . We also loved to go fishing and catch and coo k the fish for a weeken d camp out.
I went to high school at Pocatello High School. I never liked histo r y a lot, but I loved math and physics. I also took shorthand and bookk ee ping to help me with my checkbook. I often went to the college wit h a te am to compete in typing speed contests. I was involved in the sch ool pla ys and loved the theater. We also loved to roller skate on Satur day Nigh ts. We always said “Good Gravy” for good things happening and a lways pop ped our gum. I graduated from high school in May 1932. Afte r I had grad uated my friend, Catherine, and I went on the train down t o California t o visit my aunt. We took a trip over to Catalina Island a nd it was the l ast time we got to ride free on the trains.
I went to Link’s Business College in Pocatello for a year, and while I w a s going to school I worked at a candy shop called Woolworth’s. At East e r time, I would make the Easter baskets. I then got a job at Dr. Young ’ s office. He was an eye doctor and he fit all my family with new glass es . I always had to walk the eight blocks to work and I worked from 8 a .m . until 6 p.m. every day and made $12 a week.
I remember one Mother’s Day that I had gone to church in Pocatello a n d I didn’t see any of my friends. I saw a nice fellow sitting alone a n d decided to go sit down by him. He told me his name was Thero Tippet s a nd his mother and father were in Salt Lake with his sister who had ha d a n operation. We had a very nice meeting and afterwards my mother sai d, “ Why didn’t you ask that nice young man to dinner?” So, I did. He h a d a cute car and so I rode home with him. I found out that he worke d a t the Safeway store right across the street from Dr. Young’s office w her e I worked. My dad was on a special diet then and he needed rye brea d, s o I said I would be happy to go over to the store and get him some . Ti p didn’t always have rye bread in stock, so I would have to go bac k and s ee him. I didn’t mind too much. Finally after I had gone to th e store t hree times that week, Tip asked me for a date. He took me to t he Orpheu m Ice Cream Parlor and we went upstairs, visited, and ate a ban ana split . From then on we ate lots of banana splits. He took me on m y first dri ve through Yellowstone Park with another couple.
One night we went for a ride and a walk in Ross’ Park. When we got ba c k to the car and Tip took me in his arms and told me he loved me and as ke d me to marry him. I said I had to sleep on this excitement, but I st il l loved him. I didn’t sleep at all that night and was walking on clou d s all the next day. I started over to the store a number of times, bu t t hought I had better wait until our date that night, because I might e mbar rass him with a kiss. I was so happy to see him that night so I cou ld te ll him yes. That following Wednesday Tip called and said he woul d be lat e seeing me, but he had something for me. I stayed up until 10: 30 p.m. , and just before I was going to go to bed, he came with a ring a nd I tho ught it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. In jus t a week Ti p found out he was going to be transferred to Idaho Falls th e last of Oct ober, so we decided to be married November 8, 1937. It wa s exciting to m ake wedding plans, especially since we were going to be m arried in the Sa lt Lake Temple. I made a bus trip to Idaho Falls to hel p Tip find us a n apartment to live in and we finally found one on G Stre et. The day o f our wedding was beautiful and we went into the temple a t 8:00 a.m. an d were married at 4:30 p.m. We spent the night at the Hon eymoon Suite i n the Hotel Utah and the next day my folks fixed dinner fu r us and all o f our relatives.
When we got back to Idaho Falls to live, Tip worked such long hours th a t I wanted to get a job. I went to work at the Woolworth’s there fo r a w hile, but then went to work at Montgomery Wards Department Store i n the l adies department. We then found a house on 7th street to buy an d moved i nto it and lived there for a year.
In November of 1942, Tip was drafted into the army and left the day aft e r Thanksgiving for Salt Lake City. We had just settled into our home w he n World War II broke out, and little did we know what that would mea n t o us. I didn’t hear from him for a week and when I did he was in Par is , Texas, in the Signal Corp. When he found out he would be there fo r a w hile, I decided to go down and stay withe day I arrived there; I wa s so s cared that Tip wouldn’t be able to meet me. We really enjoyed our selves , but Tip had to go to Louisiana for maneuvers and I had to come h ome. A fter two months he came back and I went to visit him again. Hi s brothe r Howard and his wife Martha came and stayed in our Idaho Fall s home whil e I was gone. We found an apartment again in Texas and I go t a job. W e stayed there until just before Christmas and then Tip had t o go over se as and I came home again. I was so sad, but I had been to t he doctor an d he said I was pregnant and would have a baby in July, so t hat made us h appy. I went back to live with my parents in Pocatello. M y brother Jac k had hone into the army and his wife Marjorie was in Pocat ello staying . I didn’t see how my mother and dad stood it.
Thero Richard Tippets was born on July 25, 1944. It was hard to hav e a b aby and take care of it without my husband. Richard was a real cro ss bab y and his food didn’t agree with him. I had to give him special m ornin g milk and then he did fine. He didn’t like to stay in his play pe n eith er. Richard was five months old at Christmas and it was sad not t o hav e his daddy home. Richard grew and learned to walk and he was 16 m onth s old before he saw his daddy, except in a picture. He used to sa y da-d a and kiss his picture. When Tip came home in November of 1945, h e wen t back to work at Safeway. We moved back into our home on 7th stre et an d Howard and Martha moved to a home on 9th street. We had lots o f fun to gether camping, buying, and fixing up a cabin in Island Park i n 1959. Ti p and I also had lots of fun going to the cabin. When Richar d was 6 year s old, we had another baby and named her Marleen. She was b orn January 9 , 1951, but she died at birth. Patricia Ann was born Febru ary 15, 1952 . She was born caesarian. When Patsy Ann was six years old , our famil y got on the train at Pocatello and went to California to se e Howard an d Martha. We all had a wonderful visit and vacation together . I was wor king at the high school cafeteria and Patsy always brought h ome friends f or her dad to fix lunch for. Richard finally got his Eagl e Scout award a fter lots of hard work. I was real proud of him becaus e his father was a n Eagle Scout too. Richard and Patsy both went to sch ool in Idaho Fall s and graduated from Idaho Falls High School. Richar d went to Brigham Yo ung University and left for an L.D.S. mission in Bra zil on September 14 , 1963 for two years. My dad (Earnest Nephi Ruchti ) died on June 2, 1964 , while Richard was on his mission. Richard cam e home, graduated from BY U and married Clare Ann Campbell on September 9 , 1966. They then moved t o Portland, Oregon. Patsy also went to BYU an d lived in the dorms. It w as lonesome at our house without her and sh e called a lot. One time sh e called at school and was so sick, but it w as just the chicken pox, s o I was very relieved. She graduated in Eleme ntary Education and came ba ck to Idaho Falls to find a job. She got a j ob teaching in the first gra de at Hawthorne school and often went to you ng adults. There she met Ki m Johnson and thy later married on July 9, 1 975.
Richard and Clare had Todd Richard Tippets on October 30, 1969. It wa s r eally exciting to have a grandson. We were all thrilled when they ca lle d and told us. Lora Lee Tippets was born on May 11, 1973. This tim e i t was wonderful to have a girl and it was nice she was born on Mother ’s D ay. When Jared Nathan was born on February 23, 1976, Patsy went ou t to P ortland to help Clare with the kids. Tip and I also went out to v isit th em, after they moved to Richland, and had lots of fun with them.
Patsy and Kim had Alisa Ann Johnson on April 9, 1977, and Grandpa tend e d her a lot when Patsy and I went shopping. I retired from working a t th e high school in May 1980. In the summer of 1980, Tip was sick. I n Augu st 1980, Tip and I went on a tour trip from Rick’s College to Wash ingto n D.C. and the Hill Cumorah Pageant. In September 1980, Tip ha d a strok e and spent most of his time in the hospital. Kim and Patsy ha d Kari J o Johnson on October 25, 1980. Tip was home for a few days an d so Pats y brought Kari over for a while and he could see her. We too k Tip back t o the hospital the week before Halloween and he never came h ome again. H e died December 6, 1980.
Soon after, Richard and Clare moved from Washington to Salt Lake Cit y . I spent most of my time in the next year after Tip died, visiting Ri ch ard and Clare and going back and forth to California to Martha and How ard ’s home. They were very helpful to help me adjust to my new life. A fto n Boyle and I went to the World’s Fair in New Orleans. It was a thre e we ek tour and we saw a lot of the South, including Butsch Gardens. Ge nev e Gillan and I went on another tour with Ricks College over to Hawaii . T here we saw the Polynesian Arts Center, a dinner cruise over the 4t h of J uly, and took a boat ride over to Pearl Harbor Memorial .
My mother (Mabel Ann Daw) died on July 7, 1982. Jeffrey Johnson was bo r n to Kim and Patsy on January 27, 1984. It was real exciting to hav e a b oy and Kim called me in the middle of the night to tell me.
It was fun having grandkids nearby, but I also enjoyed visiting Richard ’ s family in Salt Lake. It was fun to go to the cabin, but when everyo n e got too busy, we decided to sell it on April 4, 1987. I went on lot s o f camping trips with Patsy’s family during the summer. I remember on e da y their family came to get me for a ballgame and they asked me to g o wit h them to Canada. So, I packed my bas and we left that morning. W e sa w lots of glaciers in Canada and we also saw the beautiful Lake Loui se . We saw a dinosaur quarry and that was neat. At Christmastime in 19 92 , we all flew to California and went to Disneyland and saw the musical , P hantom of the Opera in Los Angeles. The summer of 1993 we went to St . Lo uis, Missouri, and the Mississippi River had flooded all over. We s aw In dependence and the Liberty and Carthage Jails. We also went to Bra nson , Missouri.
I took my granddaughter, Alisa, back to visit Todd and Connie the next s u mmer in North Carolina and we all drove up to Washington D.C. for a fe w d ays. It was a treat for Alisa and me to visit them. We did everythi ng t here was to do.
I have four special friends that I often have things to do with. Cather i ne Blasing and I have been friends since we started grade school togeth e r and go out to lunch together once a week. Afton Boyle and I have tak e n trips to many places and we always go to church together. Donna Trac e y helped me when I had my operation problems. She takes me to the doct o r and we go to church and the temple together. We have been Relief Soc ie ty teaching partners for years. Charlotte Fauts and I travel to Islan d P ark and Jackson, Wyoming, fix each other dinner, and go out to dinne r fo r our special holidays.
Words of Alisa Johnson (granddaughter):
In October of 2001, I fell and hit my head and stayed in Patsy’s home f o r awhile and we decided I couldn’t live on my own anymore. I put up m y ho use for sale and since Alisa was home looking for a job, she took ca re o f me. In January of 2002, I moved to Bountiful House Assisted Livin g Cent er in Bountiful, Utah, so I could be closer to Salt Lake. I alway s wante d to live in a nice place in Salt Lake if I had to give up my hom e .
Richard and Calre came and saw me every day to visit in Bountiful Hous e . Alisa came and took me out to my favorite Kentucky Fried Chicken on T ue sday nights and Kari and Dave came and saw me on Sundays. I liked livi n g at Bountiful House because they played bingo and had lots of nice gir l s to help me. I got lots of phone calls as well .

Cleo Hinckley dies at 111
Cleo Cranney Hinckley, 111, Utah's oldest resident, died Monday, Sept. 3 0 , 2002, in Salt Lake City, just 13 days shy of her 112th birthday.
She was born in Logan on Oct. 13, 1890, a few months before New York's E l lis Island opened as an emigration depot; just a few weeks after the L D S Church issued the Manifesto. She was 3 years old when the Salt Lake T em ple was dedicated and was 5 years old when Utah became a state. She wa s t he sixth child of Willard Duane Cranney, a pioneer who crossed the pl ain s to Utah at age 14 in 1862. Her mother, Hattie Woolf Cranney, died d urin g childbirth when Cleo was 6.
She is survived by six children, 39 grandchildren, 111 great-grandchildr e n and 10 great-great-grandchildren.
"My mother lived a very contented life," Harriet Eliason, a daughter fr o m Delta, said. "She always felt fulfilled . . . she was very devout an d d evoted, never complained and didn't fear death."
"She had really healthy habits," Gwen Church, Hinckley's granddaughter , t old the Associated Press. "And she never worried. She was just a rema rkab le little woman."
A graduate of West High School, she was the top business student there a n d excelled at shorthand.

Mrs. Hinckley attended Utah Agricultural College in Logan and later beca m e secretary to the president of the college. She also later worked a s a s ecretary for several Salt Lake City businesses.
She married Parnell Hinckley on Sept. 19, 1919, shortly after his retu r n from World War I. Parnell is first cousin to LDS Church President Gor do n B. Hinckley. The young Hinckley family moved to Millard County wher e me mbers of his family had homesteaded farmland. They lost their farm d urin g the Great Depression, and the tough times took them to Beaver, the n t o Pine Point, Minn., where the Hinckleys worked as teachers on the Ch ippe wa Indian Reservation.
The family then returned to Salt Lake City in 1930 and bought the hous e w here they would live for the rest of their lives.
She had been employed briefly for the Works Projects Administration an d s erved on the Granite Stake Relief Society and Young Women's Mutual bo ards . She took care of her husband in the years preceding his death in 1 984 a t age 95.
A grandson, Lonnie Eliason, said she never learned to drive a car and w a s content to stay at home.

Obituary: Salt Lake Tribune, The (UT) - April 30, 1999
Deceased Name: Rick Steven Millaway Weber
I was born in Little Rock, Arkansas to the best parents ever, Pat and Be t te Millaway. I have a terrific brother and sister, Gary Millaway (Dorot hy ) and Carla Millaway Witney; half-brother, Richard Wolbridge and half - si ster, Teri Arthur. My eldest daughter, Melody (24), is now serving a n LD S mission in California.
I married my beautiful wife, Joanne Oki, on September 30, 1990. My lif e w ith Joanne, along with our precious daughter, Haylee (5), has truly b ee n the best ever. How lucky I've been to have you two! Thank you for sh ari ng so much love during these past nine years. It has been wonderful.
Next to my family, my passion has been music and playing guitar. I've h a d a blast playing lead guitar with my friends in the "Haywire" Band. Ro n , Steve, Terry, Kay and Frank - See you guys later. I really enjoyed be in g Producer Rick on various talk radio stations with Michael Ray and Nu rs e Abbie. Our laughter never ended. I also received a great deal of sat isf action from teaching martial arts and guitar. I'll really miss skiin g her e. Utah may have the greatest snow on earth, but I'll bet it's eve n bette r where I'm headed.
Well everyone, I'm finally outta here. I can't believe cancer got to a " h ealth nut" like me. To the health food store, none of that stuff worke d . To my specialists, I did not have "just high blood pressure." To my f ri end - you are right, HMO's do not benefit the patients.
Thanks and gratitude to Dr. Alan Gorang, to my wonderful nurses Abbie Ba k aric, R.N., Sue Ann Overfelt, R.N., Meg Randle, R.N., and Alyce Lawren c e for her loyalty and help. To JoJo and Haylee, I love you with all m y he art.
