She was born June 22, 1936 in Shelley, Idaho to Oliver and Alba Leah Humphreys. She was the last of seven children and was twenty years younger than her oldest sibling. Her father died when she was only six years old so she didn't grow up with a lot. She and her mother were very close. She graduated from Shelley High School and apprenticed at a beauty shop during her high school years. She attended Utah State University where she met and married Courtney Maughan Leishman on April 11, 1957 in the Idaho Falls temple. They lived in Logan, Utah for a few years and then moved to Malad, Idaho for Courtney to begin his coaching and teaching career. In 1962 they moved to Provo, Utah and in 1963 they moved into their home on Grandview Hill and have lived there ever since. She supported Courtney as he coached at Malad High, BY High, and BYU where she supported dad by hauling cheerleaders to away games, feeding large groups of players for Thanksgiving and other meals, and many other things. Mom was a devoted mother and wife and was the most selfless individual we've met. She was always quietly serving behind the scenes, never drawing attention to herself, but doing what she could to make others successful. She was a great cook and she welcomed others into her home. She had a knack of being able to stretch a meal planned for a few to feed many. She traveled with dad to support his coaching career and influenced the lives of many young people. She and dad served three missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Australia-CES, with the Interpretation Services at the Provo MTC, and Nauvoo, Illinois. She has served in many other church callings in Relief Society, Primary and Young Women. She was willing to serve wherever she was called. She worked part time at BYU for many years, most of which were at the Marriott Center Ticket Office where she handled player guest tickets. Mom made lifelong friends wherever she went including the Fireside Gang which started in the early 70s. This group of friends traveled and played together, as well as supported each other. She was part of a neighborhood book club started in the 70s that is still going strong. Mom was always independent which made her disease such a challenge. It made her depend on others for everything in the end. It took everything away from her but she never complained and she never lost her sense of humor. She is an example of selfless service, kindness, goodness and giving. She is survived by her husband, Courtney four children, Kathy Lee Garrett (Jeff), Jearlene, Mike (Jodi), and Rick (Lacey), ten grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and all of her siblings. We especially want to thank Audrey, LaBretta and Hilary who took extra good care of mom at Beehive Homes.

Richard Roswell Lyman was a member of the Council of Twelve Apostles. He was born Nov. 23, 1870, at Fillmore, Millard County, Utah, the son of Francis M. Lyman and Clara Caroline Callister. His father was president of the Council of the Twelve for thirteen years and a member of that Council thirty-six years. Amasa M. Lyman, the grandfather of Richard R. Lyman, was a member of the Council of the Twelve for twenty-eight years. On his mother's side, Richard R. Lyman belonged to the fifth generation of members of the Church. His great grandfather, John Smith, the Prophet's uncle, was one of the presiding Patriarchs of the Church. The mother of this Patriarch also belonged to the Church. Richard R. Lyman's grandmother, on his mother's side, was Caroline Smith Callister, the only sister of the late George A. Smith, who was a counselor to President Brigham Young. In April, 1878, at the age of seven years, he moved with his father's family to Tooele, Tooele County, Utah, where his father had been called to preside over the Tooele Stake of Zion. Richard R. Lyman was baptized July 29, 1879, and soon afterwards ordained a Deacon. At the age of eight (in the summer of 1879), Richard R. was placed in charge of his father's fine driving team and Concord buggy. While he was not big enough to hitch the team to the buggy, the team being unusually full of life, he took pride, under his father's direction and encouragement, in keeping the horses, harness, buggy and barn in clean and first class condition. In 1881-1882 he drove team for both his father and President Heber J. Grant, who had succeeded his father as president of the Tooele Stake. It always afforded the boy great joy to meet President Grant at the Tooele station or at Lake Point with his fine team, and he never forgot with what relish he ate candy and raisins with President Grant, as they rode together from the station or went about Tooele County on Stake business. In the fall of 1882, at the age of twelve, Richard R. was sent to Provo to attend school in the Brigham Young Academy. He was a student in that institution when the fire occurred which made it necessary to move the educational institution into another part of the city. Richard R. spent two summers working at the "Mill" located near E T City, on the shore of Great Salt Lake. Here he milked many cows, assisted in hauling logs for lumber, out of the mountains, etc. For two years Richard R. worked at the ranch of Hyrum E. Booth, near Grantsville, and he regarded the training given him and hard work he was required to do by Hyrum E. Booth and his industrious wife and family as one of the most valuable trainings that came into his life. An expert gardener from England pruned the trees, planted and cared for the garden and did the irrigating on the two homes belonging to Francis M. Lyman in Tooele. When this work was turned over later to Richard R. as a boy, he followed the example set for him by the English gardener. In August, 1888, with his sister Mary, he went to the Brigham Young Academy at Provo to study. At that time this educational institution was under the able leadership of Karl G. Maeser. Richard R. was ordained a Teacher by Bishop Thos. Atkin, Jr., Sept. 16, 1888. While attending school in Provo, Richard R. began a courtship with Miss Amy Brown, which covered continuously a period of eight years. To this girl, whom he married Sept. 9, 1896 (President Joseph F. Smith performing the ceremony), Richard R. always regarded himself as greatly indebted for whatever degree of success came to him in the business world, in the educational field or in Church work. After a summer of hard work at Grantsville, Richard R. and his sister Mary were sent by their father to the Brigham Young College at Logan, which institution then was under the direction of Dr. Joseph M. Tanner. During this school year (1889-1890), Richard R. began his labors as an assistant teacher in the college. While in Logan he took out special certificates in plane and solid geometry, algebra and physiology. The following year, in Provo, his studies covered trigonometry, analytic geometry, theory of teaching, psychology, logic, surveying, physics and rhetoric. During the summer of 1890, Richard R. was employed as a bookkeeper in the combined jewelry and furniture store of T. B. Cardon & Co. at Logan, and during the summer of 1891 he was bookkeeper for the Utah Manufacturing & Building Co. at Mill Creek, near Salt Lake City. Thus far during his school life Richard R. had been required to furnish his own clothing, his own books and his own spending money, while his father had paid his tuition and board. When Richard R. now asked his father for an opportunity to go East to college, the father offered to lend him the necessary means for a period of four years, an offer which the son promptly accepted. Repaying this money and the interest on it at the rate of 10 per cent, required a period of seven years, the principal amounting to nearly $2500. Richard R. was ordained an Elder, Aug. 29, 1891, by Joseph F. Smith and after he went East to study. While he attended the University at Ann Arbor, primarily for the purpose of studying mathematics with the thought of teaching in the Brigham Young University at Provo, and while he registered in the department of civil engineering, he devoted a great deal of time to the study of literature, history and public speaking. During his sophomore year he was elected president of his class and was elected to the same position a second time during his senior year. Richard R. spent all his vacations in hard work; one was devoted to the study of chemistry at the University at Michigan, while two were devoted to traveling through the State selling school supplies for a business firm at Chicago, and one was spent as assistant mine and railroad surveyor in the Tintic mining district, Utah. The school year 1895-1896 was spent in the Brigham Young University as principal of the High School and head of the department of mathematics and physics. Beginning in the fall or 1896 and continuing until the spring of 1918, Richard R. Lyman, in the University of Utah, passed through all the grades of instructor, assistant professor, associate professor and full professor in charge of the department of civil engineering. He held a full professorship and was head of the department for eighteen years. With his family Professor Lyman spent the summer of 1902 doing advanced work in the University of Chicago; thence he went to Cornell University where he was given a residence credit of three years. While there, with the class of 1903, he was graduated with the degree of M. C. E. (Master of Civil Engineering). In the spring of 1904 he was elected by the faculty of Cornell University to membership in the society of The Sigma Xi, a scientific organization into which only those who have achieved marked success and have unusual ability in the line of scientific investigation and research are supposed to be received. With the class of 1905 he was graduated with the degree of Ph. D. (Doctor of Philosophy). In one year he was awarded the only scholarship offered by the college of civil engineering and during another the only fellowship offered by that same department. From 1909 to 1918 he served as vice-chairman of the Utah State Road Commission. During this nine years of service the work of the State Road Commission, from a beginning with little funds, so advanced that at the expiration of this time the State Road Commission was expending in the neighborhood of three-fourths to a million dollars annually. The Utah State Road Commission was created in 1909 and Richard R. Lyman was one of its original members and its first vice-chairman, which position he held during the whole nine years. He served as city engineer of Provo, was transitman on a railroad survey from Springville through Hobble Creek Canyon toward the Uintah reservation for Jesse Knight in 1898, and designed and superintended the construction of waterwork systems in nearly all the towns and smaller cities of Utah and many in Idaho and Wyoming. For years he conducted an office as a civil and consulting engineer. At various times he served as chief engineer and consulting engineer for the following companies: Melville Irrigation Company, Delta, Utah; Deseret Irrigation Company, Oasis, Utah; Oasis Land & Irrigation Company, with headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah; Delta Land & Water Company of Salt Lake City, Utah; Utah County Light & Power Company, American Fork, Utah, and Utah Copper Company of Salt Lake City. He was one of the original directors of the Intermountain Life Insurance Company and is at present serving as vice-president of this company. He was also president of the Giant Racer Company, vice-president of the Ensign Amusement Company, director of the Pleasant Green Water Company, president of the Lyman-Callister Company, and director of Heber J. Grant & Co. Bro. Lyman had experience in the Brigham Young University as a Priest, administering the Sacrament and doing other similar service. From the fall of 1895 to the summer of 1896 he acted as a counselor to Bryant S. Hinckley, superintendent of the Mutual Improvement Associations of the Utah Stake, when the Utah Stake embraced all of Utah county. In 1897 (Sept. 12th), he was ordained a High Priest by President Angus M. Cannon and set apart as superintendent of the YMMIA of Salt Lake Stake, which Stake then included the whole of Salt Lake County. He continued to serve in this capacity until the spring of 1902, when he, with his family, went to the University of Chicago, and later to Cornell University. For several years Bro. Lyman acted as supervisor of the parents' classes of the Ensign Stake. He was ordained an Apostle and set apart as a member of the Council of Twelve Apostles by President Joseph F. Smith April 7, 1918, in the Salt Lake Temple, assisted by Presidents Anthon H. Lund and Charles W. Penrose and the members of the Council of the Twelve. Richard R. Lyman and his wife, Amy B. Lyman, had two children, namely, Wendell Brown Lyman, born Dec. 18, 1897, in Salt Lake City, and Margaret Lyman, born Sept. 15, 1903, at Ithaca, New York. Despite the greatness of his intellect, his spiritual achievements and a distinguished ancestry, Elder Lyman fell into transgression and was excommunicated November 12, 1943. It is not the policy of the Church to publicize the reasons for disciplinary action, but it was the result of a personal transgression and not apostasy. Richard R. Lyman was rebaptized into the Church October 27, 1954. He died December 31, 1963 at Salt Lake City, Utah. ~ ~ ~ ~ In 1941, Richard R.

In 1987 his son was in a serious automobile accident rendering him a paraplegic on his left side. Max spent countless hours helping Craig rehabilitate himself and attending classes with him at BSU. During this time he continued to pursue his love of learning by attending Photography, Biology, Agriculture and Physical Education Classes. In 1991 he returned to Pleasant Grove for a short time to help care for his aging mother. Max became a grampa for the first time in 1992 and was there for the birth of his only granddaughter, Ashlee Ross Twiss. They shared a very special bond. Ashlee was joined by Paul Parker in 1996 and Matthew Michael in 1998. Max loved his grandchildren and they brought much joy to his life. He loved spending time with them and hearing about their school, sports and many adventures. Max continued his love of travel by traveling on a tour of the Holy Lands. His visit included Jerusalem, Bethlehem and the Gardens of Gethsemane on Christmas Eve. Max and Craig also traveled to Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and Mexico. In 2005 Max was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Even though he couldn't always remember the details of life he always knew the people who played special roles in his life. In December of 2007 he moved to Bridgeview Estates in Twin Falls to receive the care he required and to be closer to his daughter and grandchildren. They enjoyed being able to visit Grampa regularly in his remaining months.
