Irene and Edwin Gibbs

Class of 1952. Irene Hafen. Band, Chorus, Photography Club, Notre Maison, Shorthand Club, Thespians. She married Edwin G. Gibbs. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: On April 17, 2022, a bright and beautiful Easter morning, Irene Hafen Gibbs returned peacefully to her Heavenly Father. She was 88 years old. Irene was born March 1, 1934, to Joseph and Mary Harris Hafen, in Provo, Utah. She was the fifth of eleven children. It was the middle of the Great Depression, and World War II began soon after. The whole country was impoverished and rationing was part of daily life. There were very few modern comforts, and Irene often wanted for more, but her circumstances bred resilience and creativity. She spent her days at school, church, and roaming the neighborhood playing with cousins and friends. She attended Franklin Elementary, Dixon Middle School, Brigham Young High School, Brigham Young University, LDS Business College and, later in life, Weber State University. As a young woman, Irene held numerous jobs, often several at once, including as a telephone operator in Provo, as the recreation director at the Girls MIA Home in Provo Canyon, now Timpanogos Lodge, and as a switchboard operator in Salt Lake City and San Francisco. Eventually she became a seasonal worker at Alta Peruvian Lodge, where she met Edwin Godbe Gibbs. They married June 4, 1960, in Provo Utah, and were sealed in the Logan Utah Temple. Irene and Edwin lived at the Peruvian Lodge for many years, raising children, teaching at the Alf Engen Ski School, and running the lodge. Eventually, they moved their growing family to Lehi, Utah. Irene became the first female EMT to work for the Lehi Ambulance where she proved her worth many times. She became an EMT instructor, and worked for Utah State Emergency Medical Services. She raised her children with freedom and love. Her life was not a peaceful one. Instead it was loud, rambunctious, full of personality and angst, large family gatherings, ice-cream, chop-suey, boating, camp-outs, and a million efforts to keep her kids and husband alive, happy, and wearing shoes. She never did anything the easy way. If something had to be done, she would do it bigger and more fabulous than expected. Eventually, she bravely returned to school and became a Registered Nurse. She worked in several medical arenas, most notably Jordan Valley Hospital ER where, for more than a decade, she cared for traumatized families and individuals, and made many good friends. She has traveled the world by car, plane, and boat. She loved to be near the ocean and hear the waves on the rocks. She loved the mountains, lakes, sunsets and sunrises. Irene has always been intensely devoted to her faith and membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in many callings including Stake Primary Board, Relief Society President, Scout Leader, senior missionary in Little Rock, Arkansas, and for many years as a temple worker. She has constantly sought to strengthen her relationship with Jesus Christ. She was an avid reader and studied the teachings of the prophets every day. Irene is preceded in death by her husband, Edwin Godbe Gibbs; her parents, Joseph and Mary Harris Hafen; siblings Joe (Ethel) Hafen, Norma (Weston) Henrie, Louise Stott, Stephen (Cindy) Hafen, Raymond Hafen, and Mary (Eric) Tuttle; and great-grandson, Kazen Black. She is survived by siblings John Mark (Carma) Hafen, Carol (Cecil) Jones, Esther (Jerry) Blackburn, Margaret (Ralph) Rupp; her eight children and their spouses- Dena and Jim Smith, Lauren and Ruthann Gibbs, Edwin and Bonnie Gibbs, Michael and C.J. Gibbs, Bradley and Kristin Gibbs, Cortney and Lori Gibbs, Heather and MacKay Jones, Preston and Amanda Gibbs; thirty-three grandchildren; thirty-eight great-grandchildren; and her loyal pup, Reggie.
He lives! All glory to his name! He lives, my Savior, still the same. Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: “I know that my Redeemer lives!” Source. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER HUSBAND'S OBITUARY: Beloved father, husband, brother and friend, Edwin Godbe Gibbs, passed away October 5, 2004 of natural causes. Edwin was born February 7, 1922 in Salt Lake City to Mary Godbe and Lauren Worthen Gibbs. He married Irene Hafen June 4, 1960 in Provo, Utah. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan LDS Temple. Edwin graduated from East High School and served in the Army during World War II. Following his service Edwin earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of Utah and worked in municipal finance, playing a key role in the financing of Lehi's swimming pool. Edwin was well known in the community as someone who would provide legal services to those in need. Edwin was instrumental in a plan that moved surplus military buildings from Brigham City to Little Cottonwood Canyon, thus creating the Alta Peruvian Lodge, his home for over 20 years. His family continues to enjoy the stories of deep powder and steaming swimming pools that were the mainstay of those years. By gathering and photographing snowflakes on a piece of black velvet, Edwin designed the Alta Peruvian Lodge symbol that later became the famous "Alta Snowflake" logo. After selling the lodge in 1970, Edwin moved his family to Lehi, Utah. Edwin loved to play. He was well known for his "bus camper" -- the hamburgers he cooked during ward campouts -- and his soft-serve ice cream machine. Edwin supported his sons in the Boy Scouts by attending and hosting numerous scout trips. He loved skiing (snow and water), boating, bow hunting, fishing, duck hunting, and camping with his family. Edwin is survived by his wife of 44 years, Irene, and eight children, Dena (Jim) Smith of Lehi; Lauren (Ruthann) Gibbs of Murray; Edwin (Bonnie) Gibbs of Round Valley; Michael (Carol) Gibbs of Enoch; Bradley (Kristin) Gibbs of Riverton; Cortney (Lori) Gibbs of Boise, Idaho; Heather (MacKay) Jones of Salt Lake City; Preston Gibbs of Murray; 27 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren. Also survived by brothers William G. Gibbs and Peter G. (Mimi) Gibbs of Salt Lake City and one sister, Mary Adele Monson of Bountiful.

Terelle Terry

Class of 1952. Terelle Heisch. Thespians, Beaux Arts Club Vice President, Assistant Librarian. She married _______ Terry. ~ ~ ~ ~ RX EXPRESS -- Terelle Terry -- Sacramento, California. [Published on: November 28, 2004] ~ ~ Terelle Terry has a different moniker for the "RX Express" - she calls it the "Overground Railroad." The appellation, borrowed from the Underground Railroad that helped slaves escape to Canada before the Civil War, fits Terelle's persona: It incorporates both her knowledge of history and her activist inclinations. Terelle, 70, has fought for change all her life. She sees health care reform as one of the major issues facing Californians. She is only too happy to be riding the rails to Canada on a mission that eventually will smash through the wall of greed and corruption that barricades Californians from receiving the health care they need and deserve. Terelle has a personal reason as well for making the journey. She has osteoporosis, and has broken both arms as a result. "Not at the same time, thank goodness," she says. "I want to prevent more breaks. Many people break their hips, which may result in permanent disability, even death." Terelle also is on a fixed income ("It isn't fixed," she says; "it's a shrinking income" because it stays the same while everything else goes up) and has been unable to afford a crucial prescription drug. She hopes to get that medication in Canada, at $53 for a one-month supply. It would cost $100 here. Terelle, an articulate, well-read and humorous woman, comes from a family that has been in California since the gold rush. She took a detour herself to Utah, but came back to the Golden State. She has a B.A. in anthropology from Sacramento State University, and has taught, written for newspapers and magazines, and worked for the Departments of Rehabilitation, Consumer Affairs and Corrections. "I've had a lot of different jobs," she says in an understatement. She retired five years ago. She has three daughters, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. If the resume leaves you gasping for air, it becomes all the more surprising when you consider that Terelle contracted polio when she was 12, in 1946. It, and her other ailments, clearly didn't keep her from living a full life, but "it slowed me down a lot," Terelle says. She tires easily, and has a partially paralyzed right leg. Like many people, Terelle would just as soon not take any medications at all, and tries to stay healthy through exercise and diet. But her illnesses finally got to the point where she decided that "I really had to take something." Her doctor prescribed miacalcin. Terelle was ready to partake - until she saw the price tag: $100. "I couldn't afford it," she says. ... Terelle, who has been "guilty of civil disobedience" in the past, participated in demonstrations and is a member of the Grey Panthers, says people must act. "We need to do this," she says. She quotes Savonarola, who said "unless an idea is imbued with action, it doesn't really exist." Californians must come to understand that it is cheaper to extend health care to all than it is to keep the present system, Terelle says. There are numerous steps the government can take, including bulk purchasing of prescription drugs, and not putting up with advertising by pharmaceuticals. "The single biggest benefit would be to stop (them) from advertising," she says. "They're spending billions." "This is inextricably linked with politics," she adds. She says Californians should support legislation... "There has been an assault on the elderly, the poor, the disabled and the middle class," Terelle says, but she adds that it can be turned around. ... California, Terelle notes, is the cutting edge of American culture. The disability movement started here, and resulted in the Americans with Disabilities Act. If California reforms its health care, it may lead the nation to fair health care, not just for the rich, but fair care for all, Terelle believes.

Their children: Harris Jones, BYH Class of 1945; Ella Montez (Monty) Jones, BYH Class of 1946 (married Charles Frederick Pulham); James Allen Jones (twin), BYH Class of 1949; Robert E. Jones (twin), also BYH Class of 1949 (married Joan); and Joanne Jones, BYH Class of 1952 (married Robert Middleton). ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Joanne Jones Middleton, 89, passed away August 16, 2023 in Cedar City, Utah. She was born October 19, 1933 to Shadrach Cannon Jones and Ella Montez Harris in Provo, Utah. She was the 6th of 6 children. Cannon, Montez, Robert, Jim, and a twin sister that was stillborn. Mom attended Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1952. Her best friend growing up was Diane Smith who lived across the street. Mom was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In High School, she participated in different singing activities and carried her singing on into her later life, until she had kids and realized she was the only one with that talent. After high school, she worked at different National Parks then landed at the Hotel Escalante in their accounting department and at the front desk. There, she became roommates and life-long friends with Annette Bauer. While both were working there, Donna and Cluff Jolley lined them up with two upstanding Cedar City men who became their husbands. Mom married Robert Francis Middleton on February 2, 1957 and started her farm life. She had grown up in the city so it was new to her. After living in town for a few years, they moved to Hamilton Fort so Dad could just walk across the street to work. Mom adapted well, feeding doggies, washing tons of vegetables every summer night and washing whatever off of the blue, brown and green chicken eggs. Before moving to the farm, she grew her family, Diane, David, and Michael who only lived 4 months. She was a great mom and took care of her family. We were always her first priority. For fun, Mom was in a bridge club with the same ladies for about 24 years. She was active in the Lady Elks and the Lady Woolgrowers. She was the mom that took my friends on trips before we became independent because she was fun. She taught me to love Soap Operas and how to make cookies. She never missed any sporting event David was in, scorekeeping in Little League and cheering him on through high school. She was an awesome grandma to all 7 of her grandkids, tending, shopping, watching them do their thing. If any of them were at all sarcastic, they got it from her. They all love her and will miss their chats with her. They are Danielle, Joe (Chezlie), Kade (Maddie), Rand (Tracy), Nathan (Candice), Amanda (Tyler), and Jeff (Tayler). She also has 20 great grandchildren. Many of them have fun memories of Grand Jo or the Old Old Grandma. She was preceded in death by her husband Bob, all of her siblings and their spouses and her son Michael. She is also preceded in death by many dear friends that will be waiting for her. She is survived by her children, Diane (Kit) and David (Stacey). Thank you Mary, Sharon, and Janie for being such great friends and a very special thank you to the workers and caregivers at All Seasons care center. You made her life happy up until the very end. You are the best. Funeral services will be Wednesday, August 23, 2023. Viewing will be 9:30-10:30, funeral at 11 am. The viewing and funeral will be held at South Utah Mortuary in Cedar City.

Class of 1952. Jean Jorgenson. Notre Maison. Also Faculty & Staff, 1955-56, Mathematics. Married Kent A. Pedersen on May 31, 1956 and we have two children, Chris Pedersen (married Suzanna Shurtleff) and Jennifer Pedersen Hooper (married Richard Hooper). ~ ~ ~ ~ Jean taught mathematics at BY High School during the 1955-56 school year. She is now professor of Mathematics & Computer Science at Santa Clara University. @2006 ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Jean Pedersen passed away on January 1, 2016, at the age of 81. She was a professor at Santa Clara University until her retirement, and she was a member of the MAA for 49 years. Pedersen was known for her research, writing and speaking on polyhedral geometry, combinatorics, and number theory, and with Peter Hilton, Pedersen co-authored A Mathematical Tapestry: Demonstrating the Beautiful Unity of Mathematics. For the MAA, she served on the Spectrum editorial board, and she was awarded the Golden Section’s Distinguished Teaching Award in 1997. Much more information about her life and career can be found on this page of remembrances from Santa Clara University. There is also a wonderful photograph of Pedersen posted on the SCU web site. ~ ~ ~ ~ ADDITIONAL TRIBUTE: Jean Pedersen It is very sad and unusual to lose an active member of the faculty during the academic year, and so I acknowledge the passing of Jean Pedersen of our department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Jean arrived at Santa Clara in 1972 and made this her academic home. Jean was a popular professor and the author of 214 research papers, reviews and pedagogical works, 13 books, 3 translations, and 8 videos. She touched many lives, as I heard at her funeral from her departmental colleagues and from present students and alumni. As a member of our Santa Clara family, we remember her with deep appreciation. .... It is with sadness that I announce the death of longtime math professor Jean Pedersen, who died on January 1 with her family by her side. Our hearts go out to Professor Pedersen's children, Jenni and Chris, for such a loss, and one so soon after their father's passing. Professor Pedersen was a true pillar of the University and of its math department. Known for her kindness in welcoming newcomers to the University and her collegiality among her fellow faculty, she had a great love for Santa Clara University and a passion for teaching math. Professor Pedersen began her teaching career at Santa Clara in 1966 when she became the first woman to teach mathematics here. She later became the first woman to be granted tenure in the Mathematics Department. A published author, guest lecturer for numerous professional programs and associations, and generous member of the University community, she modeled the best of the teaching scholar. Santa Clara University has lost a leading light in Professor Pedersen, and while we mourn her loss, we remember the great gift of her life. .... Jean J. Pedersen, a long-time professor of mathematics at Santa Clara, died on New Year’s Day 2016 in a Los Gatos hospital after a long series of medical problems. She was born into a family in Provo, Utah; her father was an ophthalmologist, her mother a teacher. She had a younger brother who became an architect in Seattle, and a son and daughter, Chris a Silicon Valley engineer and Jennifer, who teaches mathematics at Utah Valley University in Orem. She had six grandchildren. Jean attended college at Brigham Young University where, given the culture of that time, she majored initially in home economics, only later discovering the beauty of mathematics. So thus motivated when she moved to the University of Utah at Salt Lake City for graduate study, she switched to mathematics. Ultimately she wrote a thesis on algebra under the direction of E. Allen Davis, a well-known mathematician at the University. There she had as a student in one of her classes, an engineering major, Kent Pedersen, whom she later married. Soon after their marriage and Kent’s accepting a position at IBM, they moved to San Jose where they remained. Kent died roughly one year before Jean’s death. After starting a family, Jean joined the Santa Clara University mathematics faculty initially teaching only part-time. Proving herself to be such a spectacularly good teacher, she was transferred to being full-time and eventually to the rank of full professor by 1996. Under the guidance of the legendary mathematician and teacher, George Polya, at Stanford University and later a long series of collaborations with the internationally known British topologist, Peter J. Hilton, Jean performed mathematical research, writing and speaking on polyhedral geometry, combinatorics,and number theory. Hilton had held positions at Oxford, Cambridge, Case Western Reserve, and Cornell, and had been one of the mathematicians that cracked the enigma code at Bletchley Park, led by Alan Turing. Pedersen’s list of publications runs to 214 research papers, reviews and pedagogical works, 13 books, 3 translations, and 8 videotapes. Others await publication. She was eventually to become an Erskine Fellow at the University of Christ Church in New Zealand, a repeated visitor at the University of Capetown in South Africa, and a repeated short-term visitor at the Forschungs Institut für Mathematikc at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule/Zurich. A populist lecturer, Jean was often asked to speak at meetings from departmental colloquia to regional meetings to international congresses. These talks spread from the Bay Area to Australia, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, Kuala Lumpur, Delft, Haifa, and many other locations. These presentations often led to collaborators in mathematics (Glenn Appleby, Astrid Bonning, James H. Foster, Walter Gross, Michael Hendy, Bruce Love, Larry Somer, Jurgen Stigter, Tibor Tarnai, Byron Walden, Hans Walser, Tamsen Whitehead); in mathematics education (Franz O. Armbruster, Diane Mendence, E. Allen Davis, Derek Holton, George Polya, Peter Ross, Martin Gardner); general mathematics (Youseff Alavi, Ronald Graham) and algebra (Tibor Tarnai, Carlos Sequin). Jean was a member of numerous MAA and Association of Women in Mathematics, was a one-time member of the Editorial Board of Mathematics Magazine, and was a pioneer director of a “Women and Mathematics” lecture series to attract women into mathematics majors. She was the advisor of our own chapter of AWM. Jean always gave people the impression that being on the mathematics faculty, as teacher, advisor, and friend, was a profession that is just as good as it gets. And as members of the faculty in mathematics at Santa Clara, having Jean as a colleague, we feel that that’s just as good as it gets! Source
