Nye, Roy A.
Roy A. Nye 1931-2005 Our kind and gentle husband, dad, and grandpa passed away
in Salt Lake City, Utah, March 14th, 2005-his 74th birthday. He patiently
endured 15 years of Parkinson's disease, complicated by a fall and brain
injury in January. Roy was born and raised in Paris, Idaho, to Frank and
Arstanie Nye. He attended Utah State University with a major in music. He met
his sweetheart, Beverly Kay Scheel, while serving an LDS mission to the
Western States. They were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on the 18th of
September, 1953. Together they raised a family of two sons and two daughters
on sunshine and rainbows. Roy proudly served his country in the United States
Army for two years in Washington during the time of the Korean conflict and
shared his deep patriotism with his family. His career was in insurance
management with Reliance Insurance and with T.E. Wood. Promotions within the
industry gave him the opportunity to live in many parts of the country with
his family - Sandy, Utah; Omaha, Nebraska; Prairie Village, Kansas; Plano,
Texas; Cincinnati, Ohio; Chardon, Ohio; and then back to Cincinnati until his
retirement in 1992. Since that time, he and Beverly have made a wonderful home
in South Jordan, Utah. The have made many dear friends over the years. Nearly
every move brought new opportunities to teach young people, including his own
four children, the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Early Morning Seminary. He
was a masterful, yet humble, teacher who truly loved that blessing. He served
in many church callings and was devoted to each. He especially enjoyed the
time he spent in volunteer service at the Utah State Penitentiary. Roy loved
music and put his college education to good use by sharing that love with many
piano students (again including his own four children) and choir members.
Sunday afternoons and evening bedtimes were always a calm experience with the
beautiful music he encouraged. He also dearly loved nature and the wonderful
world our Heavenly Father created for us. He especially enjoyed feeding and
watching the birds. He always noticed and loved trees, even taking their
pictures to remember them from different areas and countries. He leaves behind
his loving wife, Beverly; children, Stephen (JoDeane) of West Jordan, Utah;
Mark (Shelli) of Wexford, Pennsylvania; Kristen (Mark) Seethaler of Sandy,
Utah; and Heidi (Bruce) Barrett of Columbia, Missouri; 28 grandchildren whom
he loved and enjoyed so much; one great-granddaughter and two new little
spirits whom he will meet before we do. Funeral services will be held at the
River Ridge 8th Ward Chapel next to the Jordan River Temple in South Jordan,
Utah, 11 a.m. Friday, March 18th , 2005. Friends and family may call at

Parker, Thomas Oliver
Thomas Oliver Parker 1918 ~ 2005 "A Remarkable Life" Our beloved father,
grandfather and great-grandfather, Thomas O. Parker, gently passed from us on
March 13, 2005. We will greatly miss the Patriarch of our family. He was a
great example of devotion, planning, hard work, frugality, humor, and
education. He diligently served The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, his community and his family. He was born on March 2, 1918 in Provo,
Utah, to George Proctor Parker and Nellie Oliver Parker, an infant survivor of
the great flu epidemic. Born with quick mind and a courageous attitude, he
graduated from East High School at age 16, and was honored as an All American
in football. He graduated from the U. of U. at age 20 in business and then
served a mission for the Church in upstate New York. He met his beloved wife,
Judith Wirthlin, through his football friend, her brother, Joseph B. Wirthlin
and they were married in the Salt Lake Temple on May 23, 1941. They were
blessed with six children. Dad graduated from the U. of U. Law School Cum
Laude in 1948 and like his father, grandfather and brothers began a career of
public service. He worked 28 years for the Department of Interior, and was
appointed its Regional Solicitor. He had a passion for improving the economics
and livability of the West through the development of the national parks and
forests, and water and hydro-electric power projects. His last government
service was as Director of Claims Settlement for the Teton Dam disaster.
Retiring from government service at age 58, he continued in private law
practice, served on the Utah State Board of Prisons, and did legal consulting
on International Water Law, including trips to China and the Middle East. He
traveled extensively throughout the world with his wife, making friends for
the Church, for Utah and for his family. He was a service missionary for the
Copyright Department of the Church. During this time, he encouraged and
supported Judith in the obtaining of her Masters and Doctorate Degrees. He and
his wife, Judith served three additional missions for the Church: in the
Temple View Stake Lamanite Ward, as Special Representatives of the Church in
Egypt, and as Director of Hosting at the BYU Jerusalem Center. He also
supported and assisted Judith in her many Middle East projects of music,
archeology, village improvement, women's rights, and literacy. They supported
five sons on international missions and strongly encouraged missions among
their grandchildren. They served together in the Church Hosting Program at
Temple Square for 10 years, befriending important national and international
visitors and making them feel welcome. He was first and foremost a family man,
fiercely loyal to his wife and children, with high expectations, but always a
rock in the middle of trouble or storm, and his clear thinking and support in
solutions have benefited each member of his family. He built a cabin in
Millcreek Canyon, a home on Salt Lake's East Bench and acquired a townhouse in
Bloomington, all of which he enjoyed immensely, but always as environments for
his extended family to be together. He is survived by his children, Thomas W.
(Joanne), G. Preston (Marilee), Judy Eileen Jones (Allan), Kent W. (Patricia),
Jonathan W. (Kathy), David W. (Roxane), 31 grandchildren, and 28
great-grand-children. Preceded in death by his beloved wife, Judith, and by
three grandsons: Jonathan Sharp Parker, Bryant Jeffrey Parker, and Thomas Paul
Parker. Services will be held at Monument Park Stake Center at 1320 S. Wasatch
Dr. (2450 E.) on Friday, March 18 at noon. Family and friends may call Thurs,
evening from 6-8 p.m. at the stake center and on Fri. morning from 10:30-11:30

Sasaki, Haruto "Art"
Haruto "Art" Sasaki 1920 ~ 2005 Heaven was enriched on March 12, 2005 when
Haruto Sasaki was welcomed home. Art was born in L.A. on March 6, 1920 to
Goichi Sasaki and Omi Tamura. While just a little boy, Art's father was
tragically killed in an auto-pedestrian accident. Art's mother then moved the
family back to Japan where Art grew up. Food was scarce in the struggling
household, so at 15, Art moved back to L.A., on his own, speaking no English,
and having no money. Art found work selling fruits and vegetables on the
streets of L.A. When World War II broke out, Art was "relocated" to Manzanar
for the duration of the war. However, after a time, Art was presented with the
opportunity of topping beets in Montana, in exchange for his freedom. Given
the choice, Art gladly chose back-breaking labor over confinement. Fate and
the fruit harvest brought Art to Utah in 1945, where he met and married the
love of his life, Hatsuye "Ness" Okawa. Art found work as a dishwasher, but
quickly demonstrated his considerable talent for cooking. Art could cook
delicious foods of any style or preparation. For many years thereafter Art
cooked for some of Salt Lake's most popular restaurants including the
Mayflower, Little America, the Lamplighter, and the 47 Samurai. Yet one job
was never enough to exhaust Art's boundless energy. Art always worked two or
three jobs in order to provide a better life for his family. Art also worked
for over 40 years as a landscape artist and gardener. Art took great pride in
his beautiful flower and bountiful vegetable gardens. He certainly contributed
more than his fair share to help beautify Salt Lake City. Art survived
hardship, heartache, and prejudice without complaint, bitterness, or
self-pity. Rather, Art would rise up each time to overcome adversity with
dignity and industry. Art is survived by his wife of 60 years, Hatsuye, his
daughter Karen Sasaki-Black and her husband John, Ness's loving brothers and
sisters, nine nieces and nephews, and his beloved four-legged companion, Ben
Gee. Art was preceded in death by his seven year old daughter, Yvonne Katsuyo
Sasaki. Services will be held on Friday, March 18, 2005 at 12:00 noon at
Deseret Memorial Mortuary, 36 E. 700 So. The viewing will take place on
Thursday, March 17th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Please come to help celebrate
Art's life. Interment will be at the Salt Lake City Cemetery.

friend, Welden Lloyd Smith, passed away Saturday, March 12, 2005 from
complications of a transplant after a very brave and courageous battle with
cancer. Words are not enough to describe the impact Welden had on the lives of
those he touched throughout his life. He was and is a true example to all of
us of the meaning of Christlike love. His concerns were always directed toward
others and nothing gave him greater joy than to be of service to his family
and friends. We are truly blessed to have known him during his short time on
earth. At no time during his bout with cancer did he complain or feel as
though he had been treated unfairly. He was always positive and his faith
unwavering in his understanding of Heavenly Father's plan for him and his
family. He had an impact for good on all those he met both prior to and during
his struggle with cancer. He is survived by his wife, Margaret Morris and

and Ina Grace Soelberg; brothers, Ariel and Lowell; father-in-law, Omer
Morris; sister-in-law, Arlayne Smith; brother-in-law, Raymond Christensen and
nephew, Tommy Knight. Welden and I (Margaret) were married for time and all
eternity in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on July 15, 1977. We have spent 28
incredible years together and our love for one another has grown with each
passing year. It has truly been a pleasure and honor to be his wife. My
children and I are eternally thankful to our Heavenly Father for the
remarkable opportunity it has been to share our lives with him as a family.
What a privilege and blessing it has been to return love and service to him
especially while caring for him during his final weeks and months. We cannot
thank or express our appreciation enough to all of our wonderful family and
friends, physicians and nurses who have taken time to provide service and
support to us for more than two and a half years. Our love and appreciation to
you all is immeasurable. Funeral services will be held Saturday, March 19th at

High School where she set school records which stood for many years. Maria was
also an All-WAC cross country runner for the University of Utah. Maria "ran
like the wind" and her two bouts with cancer were the only things that ever
slowed her down. Maria was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. She served on the Seminary Council at Cottonwood High, and
worked in various positions in her wards. She gained a testimony of the gospel
and a strong and abiding faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. For 12 years Maria
