John Victor Rogers. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Kanosh -- John Victor Rogers passed quietly away at Godfrey's Foothill Retreat on Thursday, March 23, 2000 in Brigham City, Utah. Vic Rogers was born in Kanosh, Millard County, Utah on October 11, 1904 to John Alexander Rogers and Mary Elizabeth Barney. He was the youngest of four children: Blanche Agnes Rogers Atwood, Ofie "J" Rogers, and Henry Lynn Rogers, all of whom are deceased. Vic went to elementary in Kanosh and then attended Murdock Academy in Beaver, Utah for one year at 15 years of age [1919?]. He lived on very little and was often cold and hungry. The next two years he boarded in Fillmore to attend Millard County High School and graduated May 23, 1924. Times were difficult and work was hard to find. Vic ended up finding work in Los Angeles, California, with the railroad (Pacific Fruit Express) loading ice onto refrigerator cars, then painting box cars, and then doing carpentry work. He was laid off each fall and would return home to help his father on the farm. While in Los Angeles he was a stake missionary for the Hollywood Stake, Garvanza Ward, and met Lillian Stead, a convert to the Church from England and also a stake missionary. They were married in Los Angeles on March 27, 1937, and sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on October 12, 1937, when Vic had vacation time from work. After Vic's parents died, he moved his family to Kanosh and ran the family farm. He worked as a farmer, school bus driver, church custodian, raised chickens and turkeys, worked at the Fillmore feed mill, and then for the U.S. Forest Service. Vic and Lillian raised five children, then served two temple missions at the Manti Temple and a full-time proselytizing mission in 1982-83 in the Little Rock, Arkansas Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Lillian died in St. George on May 15th 1993. He is survived by his children: David L. Rogers of River Heights, Utah; Lillis Rogers Byers of Salt Lake City; Kathie Rogers Smith of Brigham City, Utah; John S. Rogers of West Jordan, Utah; and D. Craig Rogers of Moreno Valley, California.

Juanita Rogers

BYH Faculty. Juanita Taft Rogers. She served as a Physical Education teacher on the BYH faculty circa 1959. She was the director and faculty advisor for the BYH Hi Steppers, the school's precision drill team for young women. ~ ~ ~ ~ Her parents are Milton Lee Taft and LaVern Forsyth Taft. Milton and LaVern Taft had two sons and four daughters: Karl Milton Taft, Cula Taft Ekker and Milton Lee Taft, Jr., Bicknell, Utah; Arleen Taft Johnson and Juanita Taft Rogers, Provo, Utah; and Dixie LaVern Taft Bowler, Bunkerville, Nevada. ~ ~ ~ ~ Juanita Taft Rogers married J.

Lisa was born August 25, 1961 in St. George, Utah. She married Eddie James Bullock on September 18, 1990 in Springville, Utah. Lisa graduated from the University of Utah, Magna Cum Laude with a double degree in biology and anthropology. She was in the process of completing her Ph.D. in Anthropology when she died in 1996 at age 35, in Salt Lake City of heart failure due to hemochromatosis, a rare genetic disease. She danced with "Zivio," a civic folk dancing group, where she designed and constructed costumes. She was an expert seamstress, and made her own patterns. Lisa loved gardening and any kind of flowers. She was an artist with fabric and design. She designed and made her own wedding tiara. She loved children and her dog, "Jessie" a golden Labrador. She was an environmental scientist with the department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Quality, for the State of Utah. More about Hemochromatosis. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Juanita Taft Rogers was born on August 23, 1934, and she lived until February 7, 2013. After battling recurrent cancer, Juanita Taft Rogers succumbed to the disease early on the morning of February 7th in Redondo Beach, California. She passed peacefully in her sleep and was surrounded by family and friends in her final days on this earth. Born the fourth of six children to Milton Lee Taft Sr. and Lavern Forsythe Taft in Bicknell, Utah, Juanita's life was one of leadership, accomplishment, and steadfast work. From the early honors of small-town Utah, including Wayne County rodeo queen and graduating valedictorian of Wayne High School's class of 1953, Juanita went on to graduate from Brigham Young University with honors; where she competed as a Cougarette, varsity basketball player and held class office and various other leadership positions. Married in 1958 to James Keith Rogers of Blanding, Utah, Juanita raised a family of four children, while becoming a skilled school teacher, a talented choreographer/dance leader, and real-estate developer. Through it all, Juanita honored the heritage of the Taft family, nurtured a Mensa-level intellect, and easily deployed a rapier wit. "Mrs. R." will long be remembered by the accomplished dance teams she led at BY High (the "High Steppers") and Duchesne High School as well as at Dixie College. The choir in Oak Hills Second Ward never shone brighter than with "Sister R" at the helm, demanding excellence. In later years, Juanita's life was punctuated by both joy and tragedy "with the birth of five grandchildren, whom she loved and tirelessly mentored, and the unfortunate death of her oldest daughter, Lisa Rogers Bullock, PhD. in 1996" the latter with whom she now shares a grateful reunion. A devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she held a variety of creative and leadership positions and passed from this world with the sure knowledge of her eternal journey. Sister Rogers is survived by her children Dr. J. Keith Rogers, PhD. of Albion, Idaho and three children; Taft Rogers of Boise, Idaho, Dr. Tiffany Rogers, M.D. of Redondo Beach, California and Courtney Rogers of Simi Valley, California, her six beloved grandchildren, and three siblings; Cuela Taft Ecker, Milton Lee Taft Jr. and Dixie Taft Bolwer. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Friday, February 15, 2013 in the Berg Drawing Room Chapel, 185 East Center Street, Provo, Utah. Friends may call at the mortuary Thursday evening from 6 until 8. Interment, Bicknell Cemetery, Bicknell, Utah.

My old address "Diggerspup" was a nickname given to me when I worked for my dad on campus after returning from a mission in 1952. The nickname came because my dad [Lynn Rogerson, Sr.], who worked in the Physical Plant Department and was in charge of new construction and ground maintenance on both the Lower Campus and the Upper Campus, was nicknamed "Digger." He began to work at the "Y" in 1947 during the big growth at BYU after WWII.

An extended life-sketch may be viewed online at www.walkersanderson.com. where condolences may also be extended to the family. [Provo Daily Herald, April 12, 2016] ~ ~ ~ ~ HER EXTENDED LIFE SKETCH: Wyla Camenish Rollins. On the 17th of December 1929 in Chicago, Illinois, during the fifth largest winter storm ever recorded in that area, new father Edwin Camenish braved the storm on foot to visit his wife, Mary Lucile Russell, at the Hospital, and his third little daughter born to him and Mary. They named this little winter sprite Wyla Camenish. She was a beautiful baby with lots of dark hair and a cherubic face. The Ed and Mary Camenish family, comprised of parents and four daughters, Lucile, Valene, Wyla and Kay, moved from Chicago to Salt Lake City, Utah during the Great Depression. They stayed with Mary's parents, Harry Hale Russell and Dollie Elizabeth McEntire, while their farm home in Provo, Utah was being made ready for them to occupy. It was in Provo that she grew to adulthood. She attended schools in both Orem and Provo during her growing up years. Wyla graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1948. She loved that old farm and the many memories attached to it. Her sister Valene stated: "Wyla was by nature curious, but ever watchful and careful with her little sister Kay. They had great times together and were fast friends from birth. Wyla, as a little child, was impulsive and daring; testing the boundaries perhaps more than any of Mother and Dad's brood." She was a bit of a "tom boy". She loved any and all animals, climbing trees and picking fruit and often joined her father in the garage working on the mechanics of cars and other farm equipment. Other skills and talents included reading, music, art, games, china painting, sewing, knitting, history, canning, gospel study, and letter writing. She had beautiful penmanship, a good memory, and a flair for entertaining and newsy letters. She kept in touch with a large circle of friends and family all her life. She met her future husband, Robert Rollins, at a birthday celebration for her elder sister Val. She married him in the Salt Lake City Temple on the 18th of December 1947 just one day after she turned 18 years old. In their early years together they developed skills like camping, fishing, and rock hounding among others. She and Robert celebrated over sixty years together and raised seven children. Eldest to youngest they are: Brian, Randy, Margo, Dorian, Paula, Cary and Glen Rollins. Rock solid in her faith in a loving Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, she always had an intimate relationship with them both; and found great joy in serving others. She also maintained active membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in many callings, including President of the Special Primary. Her life, spent in service to others, is a good example of a faithful daughter of Father in Heaven. How many lives she touched! She left this earth trailing credited acts of love in her wake. She goes home loved and revered and not forgotten by those whose lives she touched. A noble daughter of God. Funeral services will be held Thursday April 14th, at the Cherry Hill 1st ward chapel on 1700 S. 400 E. in Orem, Utah at 11 a.m. Friends and family are invited to call at Walker Sanderson Funeral Home, 646 E. 800 N., Orem, Utah on Wednesday, April 13th, between 6 and 8 p.m. or prior to services at the chapel from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Interment will follow the funeral services and will be in the Provo City Cemetery.

It is wonderful to be writing again and to have the time and energy to spend as long as I wish on a poem, a line, or a word. Given my age, I don't have time to wait for responses from magazines or contests. But I do share in my own small communty and with people I know. Recently one of my poems was published as a letter to the editor in our local paper. Of course I had to disquise it as a poem - but that was fun. I write Fiction, Poetry, and Memoirs. I serve on the board of our local Poets & Writers Group. Also active in the Poets Group sponsored by the board. @ Mar 2011.

Marion & Ida Romney

Board of Trustees, 1951 to 1988. Marion George Romney was born September 19, 1897 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico. His family had fled to Mexico to escape the persecutions of those who practiced plural marriage. His parents were George Samuel Romey and Teressa Artemis Redd Romney. He describes his early life as follows: "I'm a Mexican by birth. I was born in Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. My parents happened to be down there at the time. I was raised there until I was about fifteen years old. During the last two or three of those years, the Madero Revolution was in progress. The rebels and the federalists were chasing each other through the country, each taking everything we colonists had, by way of arms and ammunition and by way of supplies. Finally we were forced to leave. I came out of Mexico with the Mormon refugees in 1912. I remember I had a very thrilling experience on the way from where we lived to the railroad station about eight miles south of Colonia Juarez. We went in a wagon. . . . I was riding with my mother and her seven children and my uncle (her brother) and his family of about five or six children. . . . We had one trunk -- that was all we were able to bring. I was seated on the trunk in the back of the wagon. The Mexican rebel army was coming up the valley from the railroad station toward our town. They were not in formation. They were riding their saddle horses. Their guns were in the scabbards. Two of them stopped us and searched us. They said they were looking for guns. We didn't have any guns or ammunition. They did find $20 on my uncle -- pesos, not dollars... They took that and then waved us on. They went up the road about as far as from here to the back of this room, stopped, turned around, drew their guns from their scabbards, and pointed them down the road at me. As I looked up the barrels of those guns, they looked like cannons to me. They didn't pull their triggers, however, as evidenced by the fact that I am here to tell the story. That was a very thrilling experience. One of my maturing experiences. The rebels blew up the railroad track after the train we were on passed over it. Later, Father and the rest of the men came out to El Paso, Texas, on horseback. We never returned nor did we recover any of our property while my father lived. Father and I went to work to earn a living for his large family. There were no welfare programs then. We had a difficult time making a living. We had to 'root hog' or die." -- Marion C. Romney, speech at Salt Lake Institute of Religion, October 78, 1974, quoted by James E. Faust, devotional address at BYU, February 21, 1978. Elder Romney married Ida Olivia Jensen, BYH Class of 1910, on September 12, 1924. The couple had three children, of whom only one lived beyond the age of one. After studying law and passing the bar, he became an attorney. Among his Church callings before becoming a General Authority, he was a stake president and managing director of the Church Welfare Program. Of the thirty-eight men called to serve as assistants to the Twelve Elder Marion G. Romney was the first, being called April 6, 1941. He was ordained an apostle ten years later, October 11, 1951 and served faithfully until his death in 1988. On July 7, 1972 he was called to serve as Second counselor to President Harold B. Lee. President Spencer W. Kimball called him as Second Counselor until the death of N. Eldon Tanner, when he was called as First Counselor commencing December 2, 1982. On November 10, 1985, with President Kimball's death, he became President of the Quorum of the Twelve, with Howard W. Hunter serving as Acting President because of President Romney's frailty incident to age and health. President Marion G. Romney died May 20, 1988 in Salt Lake City, Utah at the age of ninety after forty-seven years as a General Authority, longer than any other General Authority then living.
