Interment, Hyde Park, Utah. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS WIFE'S OBITUARY: LaRue Olson Nixon, former resident of Roosevelt, died Monday, September 8, 1997 in Logan at the age of 91. She was born April 2, 1906 in Moroni, Utah, the fourth child of 10 children, eight daughters and two sons, of her parents Daniel Lafayette and Dorothea Elizabeth Nielsen Olson. She married Ezra John Nixon on September 5, 1928 in the Salt Lake Temple. He preceded her in death on January 22, 1979. She lived in Moroni during the early years of her life, attending elementary and high school there. She had a remarkable memory of these early years, remembering the names of many of her classmates and each of her teachers, the subjects they taught, and many of the lessons. She attended Brigham Young University where she earned her teaching certificate and began her teaching career in Greenwich, Utah. After their marriage, she and her husband both finished their education at the University of Utah. Her thirst for knowledge and love for teaching never diminished throughout the years as she influenced the lives of countless people, both young and old. Music and drama were always areas of special interest to LaRue. She was very talented in composing poetry as well, and was called on by friends and family to write personal pieces for important events. She had a deep interest in assembling life histories of family members working on as many as 50 books simultaneously. She and her husband moved to Roosevelt in the spring of 1944 where he managed the J.C. Penney Store. After he retired from the company, they moved to North Logan in 1960 where she resided until the time of her death. LaRue is survived by a son, John Ezra, Jr. [Jack] [BYH Class of 1949] (Charlotte) Nixon, Hyde Park; and daughters, Dorothy Dean Nixon (Dale) Openshaw and Karen Nixon Israelsen, both living in the Salt Lake area. She has 15 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband and an infant son, Daniel Nixon. Throughout her life, LaRue was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She held many ward and stake positions over the years and served two stake missions. The one calling that seemed most memorable to her was that of Primary teacher. She kept in personal contact with the class members, had pictures of each one, and remembered their different personalities. Her testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ remained strong throughout her life. Funeral services were held Saturday, September 13, 1997 in North Logan, with Bishop K. Richard Young conducting. Interment, Hyde Park Cemetery, Hyde Park, Utah. [Deseret News, Wednesday, September 10, 1997.]

Carol and Doug Tobler

Class of 1955. Carol Noble. Chorus, Quill & Scroll, Y'ld Cat Newspaper Feature Editor, Seminary Play, Small Ensemble. She married Doug Tobler, and they have four children. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Carol Joy Noble Tobler. Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend, Carol Joy Noble Tobler, 80, passed away surrounded by family at her home in Lindon, Utah, on Tuesday, June 19, 2018 after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia. Our “Christmas Carol” was born on December 25, 1937 in Burley, Idaho to Francis Newton Noble and Leona Evelyn Petersen Noble, the third of eight children. Her family moved frequently in Idaho, Utah, California and Oregon. She attended schools in all of these states, but, most importantly, spent a happy junior year in high school in Pendleton, Oregon where lifelong friends helped awaken her self-esteem and faith. A year later, in 1955 she graduated from BY High School in Provo where new friends took her in and made her feel welcome. They remained cherished friends for the rest of her life. In 1958, she took a job as a dental assistant in Nampa, Idaho to help the family economy. In the summer of 1959 she met Douglas F. Tobler, just home from a mission, in the dentist’s chair. He would later, on March 18, 1960, become her husband in the Salt Lake Temple. For the next years she put her education on hold while Douglas got his. Years later, in 1989, she graduated from BYU with a B.A. degree, along with her two sons, Gregg, from the J. Reuben Clark Law School, and Brian with his B.A. In the intervening years she gained an increasing love for education and confidence in her ability to learn. Between 1962 and 1965 her growing family lived in Lawrence, Kansas and Omaha, Nebraska where she continued giving Church service. Following the family’s move back to Utah County in 1967, two girls, Leslie and Allyson, were added to the family. She devoted herself to her family, becoming a cherished partner to her husband and a consummate homemaker-teacher. Many of her recipes have become family treasures. Later, she would augment the family income supporting missionary sons, working with friends in their own business and at the Deseret Bank. From her earliest years she loved to sing with her family; music became a part of who she was. She enjoyed and was refined by several years singing with the Ralph Woodward Chorale; this became a blessing to the whole family. She also loved going with her family on the BYU Study Abroad Programs to Salzburg and Vienna, Austria in 1969, 1974, 1984 and 1989 where she enjoyed taking German, history and humanities classes with the students and participating fully in the programs. She also relished new friends and life experiences gained there. Austria became a kind of second home to her. A highlight of her life was her call, along with her husband, to preside over the Poland Warsaw Mission from 1998 to 2001 where she came to love and serve over 300 missionaries. She loved to listen to them and cook for them, and then give wise counsel to her husband. They knew she loved them. Carol loved Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ and all of His other children. She had the gift of faith and loved the Gospel in all of its richness and majesty as well as the prophets and apostles, past and present. She made friends easily and cherished them. From before her marriage on, she fulfilled faithfully callings in all of the organizations of the Church, including Stake Relief Society President, Temple Ordinance worker and Visiting Teacher. She was a true role model of a believer for her posterity. She is survived by her husband, Douglas, children, Gregg (Sharon), Brian (Liesa), Leslie (Sid) and Allyson (Shane), sixteen grandchildren, ten great grandchildren, sisters, Jeanne Richardson, Darla Bushman (Darrell) and Judy Bateman (Sam), and brothers, Jay (Nancy) and Randy (Cinzia) Noble. Her parents, brothers, Bert and Kim and a grandson, Joshua, preceded her in death. The Family would like to thank all who helped make Carol’s life sweet and meaningful, especially the nurses and aides from IHC Hospice and Marinn Smith during her last years. Funeral Services will be held Saturday, June 23rd, at 11 am, at the Lindon Utah West Stake Center, 250 West 600 South, Lindon, Utah, where viewings will be held Friday, June 22nd from 6 to 8 pm and prior to services on Saturday from 9:30 to 10:30 am. Interment, Orem City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, friends may contribute to the LDS Humanitarian Fund or to a cause of their choice. Funeral Directors: Utah Valley Mortuary.
