She was born January 9, 1928, in Payson, Utah, the daughter of Patrick Francis "Frank" Hamill and Florence Marie Collins Hamill. Her childhood home was in Marysvale, Utah where she started a lifelong friendship with Nan Stapp. She and her brother, Edward Thomas, were orphaned in her early teen years and they were placed in foster homes. In her late teens she met her "adoptive family" the Evan Hansen Family. They were much more than a foster family providing her the love and support of a nuclear family. Emily graduated from BY High in Provo, Utah, in the Class of 1946. She attended BYU for a short time. It was in that period, she met and married Norman S. "Jiggs" Sanderson. They were sealed September 17, 1948, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They made their home and started their family in Pleasant Grove, Utah. Emily had many talents that she used to uplift and enrich the lives of others. Her Irish gift of wit and rhyme delighted so many with toasts and roasts at various events and celebrations. She gave hours and hours of service with a host of others decorating parade floats, making posters and signs, and creating roadshow scenery. Family has been everything to Jiggs and Emily. All their time and resources have been devoted to the development and support of their children. Vacation time was used to travel to athletic events and volunteer to help with officiating, coaching, timing, and cheering at the competitions and performances. Her fanship has extended across the ages - first children, then grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Her cheering voice has penetrated the masses and was recognized by all those she came to support. Emily has been an example of the believers of Christ. She has always been willing to serve in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints whatever the need has been. Emily and Jiggs served as missionaries in the West Indies. She leaves behind her husband Jiggs and their loving posterity: seven children, Thomas (Kim), Edward (Denise), Mark (Erin), Stephen (Debbie), Carol (Steven) Willes, Sharlene (Craig) Hreinson, and Kelly (Jelynn); 51 grandchildren; 66 great grandchildren; 4 great-great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, her brother Edward, her infant daughter Robynn, her daughter-in-law Marsha Sanderson, and her infant granddaughter Edie Sanderson.

Charles had just completed work on his Doctorate Degree at the University of Nebraska and they were returning to Utah for a visit with their families. This wonderful couple were taken from us much too early but will ever be remembered from their work on the written history of Charles Alfonzo Terry and the compilation of the Pulham Family Letters of the War Years, which they compiled after hundreds hours of work researching, typing and printing, all at their own expense. These war years were trying times for everyone with Arch and his family being no exceptions. There is a very memorable book compiled a few years after the war by Charles and his sweet wife Monte which includes copies of all the letters between the different family members during the years between l941 and 1946. The accounts of the boys in combat to the descriptions of the dances and parties attended by the girls are fascinating and are all punctuated with some wonderful photographs. ~ ~ ~ ~ Her parents: Shadrach Cannon Jones and Ella Harris Jones, married April 13, 1926 in Nephi, Utah.

Bob was born on March 20, 1928 in Provo, Utah to Vivian Rees and Judge Andrew B. Morgan. He was the youngest of five children. He attended Brigham Young High School, where he played football, basketball, and baseball. His charming personality made him a friend to all and he was elected as class president of his freshman, sophomore and junior classes and student body president his senior year. Bob graduated in the BYH Class of 1946. Bob attended college at University of Utah, and then following his two older brothers, Wendell and John into medicine, he enrolled in medical school at the University of Southern California. On February 2, 1951, during his first year of medical school, he married Lois Burch, his high school sweetheart, who at the time was studying nursing at the University of Utah. The US government instituted a "doctor draft" during and after the Korean War. After graduating from medical school, Bob enlisted in the Air Force and the young family spent two years at the Mountain Home Idaho Air Force Base. He was a captain and one of the medical officers on the base. Upon his return to Southern California, he entered a surgical residency at Los Angeles County Hospital. Wendell and John referred many cases to him as he began his practice. Later, Bob and Lois moved to Paradise, California to raise their family. There Bob joined the Paradise Community Park Medical Center where he made lifelong friends. He became Chief of Staff at the Feather River hospital and worked there until his retirement. Bob and Lois also lived in Chico, California, in a walnut orchard in Durham, California, and eventually retired to Rocklin, California and Midway, Utah. They were married for 69 years. As a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Bob gave generously of his time and talents to church service. Callings included ward and stake missionary, Bishop, and Stake President. In his senior years, he and Lois were called to serve in the California Roseville Mission Office, a calling they thoroughly enjoyed. The missionaries kept Bob young at heart and he always had a twinkle in his eye when he spoke of his missionary service. What brought Bob real joy was golfing, skiing, traveling, and watching football. He and Lois belonged to the Ski Bees Group for 35 years. He retired from skiing at the age of 84. He loved the simple yet complex nature of the game of golf. He spent much of his retired life chasing the elusive feeling of a well struck shot and enjoying time with friends and family on the fairways. In order to better serve the neighboring mountain communities that didn't have a surgeon, Bob also obtained his private pilot's license. He enjoyed flying and owned several airplanes. Bob and Lois traveled the world over, visiting Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, and Antarctica. In the fall, one could always find Bob supporting his alma mater by wearing his USC cap and watching his beloved Trojans play football. Guests would occasionally remark that watching him passionately cheer on his team was more entertaining than watching the actual game. Bob is preceded in death by his wife Lois, his parents, his siblings Bertram, Wendell, Marie and John and his eldest son, Paul Andrew Morgan. Bob is survived by five of his children and their spouses, Christopher and Stephanie Thomas Morgan, Richard and Leona Gima Morgan, Craig and Cinda Burton Morgan, Diedre Morgan and Mark Roberts, Pamela Morgan and Adam Alexander, grandchildren Andrew, Ian, Eric, Alexander, Connor, Drew, Cage, Kimberly, James, Bradley, Marissa, Bryce, Landon, Kiera, Matilda, Sage, Nolan, Jenner, Quinn, Eden, Summer, and Grace, and great-grandchildren, Carson, Caitlin, Owen, Rhett, Emma, Navy, June, Bridge, Isla, Niall, Scarlett, Bradford, Greyson, Sloane, Jaky, Aaliyah, and Elizabeth. Bob was a tremendous leader--full of integrity in his personal and professional life. He was a great example to us all, and is now reunited with his one true love, Lois. Rest in peace, our Father, and our Friend. And Dad, "Fight On'. Source 1 Source 2, March 15, 2023. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS WIFE'S OBITUARY: Lois Burch Morgan ~ 1930-2020. Lois Burch Morgan passed away at her home Saturday morning, April 25th, 2020. She was born on Friday, June 20th, 1930, in the front room of their Gothic Revival family home at 33 North 600 West in Provo, to Pearl Estella Bradford Burch and William Hilton Burch. She was the last of seven children including Dean, Hilton, Garth, Fae, Bill, and George. Lois was a “daddy’s girl” sitting on her father’s knee at dinner time because there were no more available chairs. She was also highly independent and, at age 11, she walked downtown to Heindselman’s and took their knitting class. She then came home and taught her mother to knit. While attending BY Elementary School, Lois was busy candling eggs and preparing them for sale in the family poultry business. Lois attended Franklin Junior High and BY High, where she excelled academically, and was involved in multiple activities, including serving as the yearbook editor and a member of the Sub-Debs. Lois graduated in the BY High Class of 1948. Following high school she enrolled in the University of Utah College of Nursing where she later graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and was a member of Phi Beta. She was married on February 2, 1951 to Dr. Robert Leland Morgan, her high school sweetheart who, at the time, was a medical student at the University of Southern California. Lois worked as a nurse in Los Angeles while Bob finished his medical training. She and Bob raised their family in Paradise, California. They also lived in Chico, California, on a walnut orchard in Durham, California and eventually retired to Rocklin, California and Midway, Utah. Lois was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, and her eldest son, Paul Andrew Morgan. Lois is survived by her husband of 69 years and five of her children. They and their spouses include Christopher B. and Stephanie Thomas Morgan, Richard B. and Leona Gima Morgan, Craig B. and Cinda Burton Morgan, Diedre Morgan and Mark N. Roberts, Pamela Morgan and Adam J. Alexander. The children are guiding her grandchildren: Andrew, Ian, Eric, Alexander, Connor, Drew, Cage, Kimberly, James, Bradley, Marissa, Bryce, Landon, Kiera, Nolan, Jenner, Matilda, Sage, Quinn, Eden, Summer and Grace. And on to the next generation of great-grandchildren: Carson, Caitlin, Owen, Rhett, Emma, June, Bridge, Scarlett, Bradford, Greyson, Jaky and Aaliyah. Lois was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, giving generously of her time to church service. Lois held numerous leadership callings, including Primary President, Ward and Stake Relief Society President, but her most favorite was in the Nursery, where she would pop popcorn on Fast Sunday and let the smell waft down the hallway of the church building. In her senior years, she and Bob were called to be missionaries in the California Roseville Mission office, a calling they thoroughly enjoyed. Lois also spearheaded the Humanitarian Day in the Rocklin California Stake, where ladies and youth happily came together and sewed and tied numerous quilts for those in need. She could often be found at home knitting leper bandages or NICU hats and booties or beautiful hand-knit sweaters for children in Romania, all while listening to books on tape. She had a true zest for both learning and doing. Lois loved to travel and ski all over the world. She belonged to the Ski Bees Group for 35 years, retiring from skiing at the age of 82. Lois was practical, prudent, thrifty, talented, and possessed a “can-do” attitude. Anyone who visited her home would be blessed with an artfully prepared, nutritious, gourmet meal, beautifully presented, along with garnishes and heated and chilled dinnerware. Her home reflected her gift for interior design and creativity. Lois was an excellent seamstress and loved nature, flowers and gardening. She valued education and continued learning by taking classes at Chico State University in Japanese and floral design. Lois was obedient, faithful, trustworthy, and a very good friend. She spent many hours with her best friend and sister Fae playing marathon Scrabble games (some known to last a week) and visiting with each other. As with everything she did in life, Lois showed us how to endure to the end elegantly and gracefully. May you rest in peace, wife, mother, grand, and great. A graveside service will be held at 12:00 noon on Saturday, May 2, 2020 at the Provo City Cemetery, Provo Utah. A viewing will be held at the Nelson Family Mortuary in Provo from 10:00 — 11:30 that morning.[Provo Daily Herald, April 30, 2020]

Source: 1946 BYH Graduation Exercises Program.~ ~ ~ ~ BRIEF BIO: I was born up near Logan, but moved to California with my family when I was 2 years old. We lived several places in California for 11 years, including most of the time near and in Sacramento. My folks lived north of Pleasant Grove in the Manila Ward, and I went to Pleasant Grove schools from the mid-8th through the 11th grade. I was unhappy there. My mother had attended BYU from 1908-1911, and then became a school teacher, and she still had many old friends in Provo. She found a couple with whom I could live and attend BY High School, and I lived with them from 1945-46. I was very happy there! I graduated from BYH in 1946; I only attended there in my Senior year. I did attend BYU for one year, 1946-47. ~ ~ ~ ~ I married 1st to Kenward McKinney of Sacramento, California. He passed away on 6 Aug 2002, at age 77 yrs., while we were living in Price, Utah. There is a BIO of mine, on a website, which can be accessed and read of my life and marriage to Ken for 54 yrs., plus all our adventures and travels around the world. Go here to see it: http://www.asktom-naturally.com I've been working online with a noted New York nutritionist, Tom O'Brien, since 1998, helping him answer health questions from many persons around the world, along with others of his Health Advisors who are also on that website. When the first Page opens, scroll down to my name and Click on it. There,you can see my Pic and read my Bio, plus several articles which I've written. ~~~~ Married 2nd to Ronald Alexander, who was born near Cleveland, Ohio, but spent his life after 1951, SE of Houston,Texas. His wife passed away in April 2002. He then sold out his contracting business and went to live with his son in Destin, Forida. We met via the Internet in a chat room of a mutual investment group. After 3 months of exchanging emails, phone calls, and letters with pics, I flew down to Florida to meet him on 30 Jan 2003. It didn't take us long to confirm what we already knew: that we were compatible in many ways and both lonely. So we were married on Valentine's Day, 14 Feb 2003, in the Ft. Walton Beach LDS Chapel, by the Bishop. Ronald was baptized the next day, after taking the missionary lessons, and being satisfied that the sister missionaries knew more than all the prior ministers ever did, and who could never answer his probing questions about Life, why we are here on Earth, and what happens after death. My two older daughters, Rynda Christensen and Dari Lynne Davis, who lived in Nashville, Tennessee, and Huntingtown, Maryland, were able to be at our wedding, with their husbands. They fully approved! And the son-in-law from Maryland, Norman Davis, was the one who baptized him on Feb. 15th, and ordained him a Priest. In March Ronald and I flew back to Utah to pick up my car, more clothes, and assorted other stuff. He then met my other two daughters, Debbie Henrie of Price, and Kenna Onoman of Taylorsville, plus my son, Bruce McKinney, of Draper. They are all married with families, too. All of them really liked and approved of Ronald, including the grandkids! At the present time I have 21 of those, and 17.75 great-grandkidlets (one being expected in mid-November, 2005!) While we were in Utah, Ronald and I traveled around and visited three national parks in southern Utah (Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef). He had never seen Utah before and was unfamiliar with mountains! We also drove to California and met my older brother, James Richardson and his wife, living in Portola, about 50 miles north of Lake Tahoe. Then we went down to Sacramento and saw many others of my nieces, nephews and cousins. We also went to San Francisco and up the Pacific coast for over 100 miles. When we returned to Florida, via Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, we came to live here in Panama City Beach, about 50 miles east of Destin. There is a small but growing Branch of the Church here, and we were welcomed with open arms. Ronald was soon made Exec. Sec. and I teach in Relief Society, plus a Genealogy class during Sunday School, including Online PAF. I've had extensive experience with that, as over the years I submitted more than 32,000 names on my first husband's lines. (He joined the Church soon after our marriage in Sacramento.) Now I'm busily researching Ronald's lines, directly back to Scotland, among others. Already have more than 1,500 names typed into a PAF program, and several hundred submitted, so far. In March 2004, we traveled 325 miles to the nearest LDS temple (Orlando) where he received his endowments, and we did much work for his ancestors during the three days we were there. Our time there coincided with the youth of our Branch, and Ronald was able to baptize some of them for over 75 of his direct ancestors and their kin. We also performed a number of endowments and sealings, too with Ronald and I for his parents, wife, and other ancestors. Then I was proxy when his wife was sealed to him, and for his mother when he was sealed to his parents. All this has brought great joy to both of us, as we KNOW that the Lord brought us together so we could accomplish that great work. There is still MUCH more to complete during the rest of our lives, and we consider that we are on a Mission to this beautiful part of Florida, helping to build up the Lord's Kingdom here and aiding others in many ways. There are more LDS members in Florida than any other state east of the Mississippi River, and this area of Florida, especially our Panama City Stake, is one of the fastest growing in the state. It won't be too much longer than our little Branch will be a Ward, too. @2005 ~ ~ ~ ~ Address updated from Florida to Utah. @2010
