Class of 1948. Frances Hanks. Her photograph appears with the Senior Class in the 1948 Wildcat yearbook. Frances married Karl Rogers, later divorced. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Frances Ellen Rogers, December 30, 1930 ~ December 23, 2019. Fannie (Frances) Ellen Hanks Rogers, of Missouri City, Texas, passed away at home early in the morning of December 23, 2019, at the age of 88, one week short of her 89th birthday. Frances was born at home on December 30, 1930 at 12:30 p.m. in Prescott, Arizona, to Verd Arthur Hanks and Mabel Allen Hanks. She was the oldest of three children and was named after her grandmother, Fannie Peterson Allen. During her early years, her family lived in Prescott in a small house right behind Mabel’s brother Merle Allen’s house, and very close to Mabel’s brothers Joe and Dick. Frances attended grade school just a block from her Prescott home. On her first day of school, she remembers Joan, her cousin who was about six years older, coming by to walk her to school. Frances was only four years old. She held her hand and walked up the hill. When Joan met some of her friends, she let go of Frances’ hand and Frances ran back down the hill to her home, hoping no one would notice and she wouldn’t have to go to school. Her mother walked her back up the hill, and this routine continued the first week of school, not without tears, until she adjusted. Frances didn't care for her given name, Fannie. She told her third grade teacher that her name was Frances. Though she never legally changed it, she was known as Frances for the remainder of her life. It wasn't until later that she learned her grandmother, Fannie, was also occasionally known as Frances. Verd and Mabel moved their family to Clarkdale, Arizona in 1943 where Frances grew up. Both of her parents worked for Thriftee Wholesale at their Clarkdale warehouse. Frances also later worked at the Thriftee Wholesale warehouse. She would help update the books and occasionally answer the phones. She didn’t realize at the time why her parents felt she needed a job, but she later determined it was so she was not at home alone as a teenager. Frances attended Clarkdale High School, but spent her last year of high school attending Brigham Young High School in Provo, Utah. She graduated in the BYH Class of 1948. She then attended Arizona State and Brigham Young University, graduating with a degree in English and Education. While attending BYU she met Karl Rogers and they married on September 15, 1951. Karl was on a football scholarship, which according to our mom, did not allow him to be married, so they kept their marriage secret from everyone, including their families, until Thanksgiving. They were sealed in the Mesa, Arizona Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on December 21, 1951. While Karl was finishing his degree at BYU, their first daughter, Robyn was born. When Robyn was just a few days old the family moved to Clarkdale. A year later their second daughter, Rita, was born in Cottonwood, Arizona, followed by the birth of their son, Randy, in Phoenix Arizona. In 1956 Karl and Frances moved to Farmington, New Mexico, where three more children were born; Rochele, Rick, and Ryan. Frances was always very active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her children can hardly remember a time while growing up that she wasn’t serving as ward primary president or in the stake primary presidency. She was an unwavering example of righteousness to her family and everyone who knew her. When we heard her pray, we had no doubt she was having a personal conversation with her Heavenly Father. Once her children were in school, Frances started her school teaching career, first at Bluffview Elementary School and finishing at Mesa Verde Elementary School, both in Farmington, New Mexico. As her children, we lived in fear that our mom knew our teachers and we knew we better behave and work hard. We were also expected to use proper grammar; no slang allowed in our home, and we went to the library every week. Next to her children, books were Mom’s treasure. Some of Mom’s best friends were her fellow teachers and she has fond memories of their support and adventures together. In 1979, the marriage between Karl and Frances ended. Our Mom was heartbroken, but took comfort in her family, which was now beginning to include grandchildren. She became forever known as Grandma Mom when her oldest grandchild, Kristoffer Boyle, heard his mom call his grandma “Mom,” and from that day on he called her Grandma Mom, a name she loved and embraced. In 1997, Frances retired for good and moved back to her beloved Arizona, choosing to live in Gilbert close to her cousins Merle and Joan. She loved her retirement and the community and enjoyed traveling, book clubs, lunch groups, and even water aerobics at the clubhouse with her new friends. After 20 years and due to declining health, she moved to Texas in 2017 to the loving home of her daughter and son-in-law, Rochele and Steve Dunford. She was able to enjoy visits from family and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Frances is survived by six children; Robyn (Cary) Boyle, Rita (Steve) Andrews, Randy (Lisa) Rogers, Rochele (Steve) Dunford, Rick (Cathy) Rogers, and Ryan (Kristal) Rogers, 32 grandchildren and 45 great-grandchildren with one on the way. Frances is also survived by her favorite sister, Nancy (Ken) Orton, of Colorado Springs and her much loved Russell nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Verd Allen Hanks, who died as a young child. Per her request, funeral services will not be held at this time, but an official memorial and honoring of her life will be held in Houston during the summer of 2020 when her extended family can come together to celebrate, drink Dr. Pepper, eat Hawaiian Rolls and Hershey Nuggets with Almonds, and select books from her vast collection to cherish and honor her legacy. Final interment will be at a later date in the Prescott, Arizona cemetery alongside her parents and her brother. Source.

Class of 1948. Ernest (Ernie) Lichfield. Football 2, 3. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Obituary for Ernest "Ernie" William Lichfield. Ernest “Ernie” William Lichfield (89) passed peacefully on January 6, 2020, surrounded by family. He was born August 3, 1930 to William Glen and Beulah Menlove Lichfield. He was born at the Crane Maternity Home in Provo Utah. Always good-natured, a bit mischievous, and more than a bit inventive, Ernie often gently teased those around him. As a boy, he rigged the family home’s doorbell to the seat of his father’s favorite chair. When Will sat, the doorbell would immediately ring. After getting up to open the door…twice, Will moved to another chair. As a child, Ernie was given an old broken pinball machine. After repairing it, Ernie charged his dad a nickel to play. Those nickels became Ernie’s allowance money. Ernie attended Brigham Young primary and secondary schools. He graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1948. He served a 30-month mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Norway. After sailing home on the RMS Queen Mary, Ernie experienced his first airline flight from NY to SLC. Ernie met and married his sweetheart, Oneta Bunnell at BYU. They wed in 1954. They doted on their four daughters. Instilling empowerment, he told them they could achieve anything they put their minds to. His girls were as good, if not better, than any boy. Ernie graduated in the second electrical engineering class from BYU and Air Force ROTC in 1956, as 2nd Lieutenant. He minored in Norwegian. The Air Force sent Ernie to Penn State University; he completed a meteorology degree in 1958. Ernie spent his career with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. Integral to the GHOST balloon project, Ernie designed electrical equipment attached to weather balloons which collected data, circumnavigating the upper atmosphere. He was instrumental in detecting the El Nino effect. Ernie traveled the world for his NCAR assignments: Japan, the South Pacific, and Antarctica. Cold War tensions necessitated weather balloons launched in the southern hemisphere; an office was set up in Christchurch, New Zealand, where Ernie and his family lived three separate times. After retiring from NCAR, Ernie and Oneta lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico for several years, and then returned to Utah County. Ernie could often be found flying his model airplanes in the field near his Provo home or squirting unsuspecting people with water cannons on his RC boat at Bridal Veil Falls. In 1993, Ernie and Oneta built a home in Springville, where they lived for 25 years. In 2018, they moved to Cove Point retirement community. Ernie is preceded in death by his parents, sisters and brothers-in-law, Elaine (Royal) Henderson and Afton (Aldo) Nelson. He is survived by his wife of 66 years; daughters, Becky (Steve) Himle of California, Cynthia (Don) McConkey of Colorado, Kathleen (Rod) Tarullo of Colorado, and Jennifer (Jerry) Horton of Virginia; fifteen grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held at 1 p.m., Saturday, January 11, 2020 at the Hobble Creek 5th Ward Chapel, 1460 East 900 South, Springville, Utah. Interment, Provo City Cemetery.

Quick to smile, bountiful in compassion and generous in giving, brimming with love for her family, and fierce in support and protection of her loved ones, Yolanda also was gifted with a finely tuned sense of creativity and style and the skills to develop her talents. She was talented and accomplished in fashion design and millinery. She loved Broadway musicals, sentimental movies, fine artistry and craftsmanship. She was drawn to beauty all around. She was born on March 25, 1930, in Cedar City, Utah, to a family that was active and prominent in its contributions to the community's life. The family later moved to Provo. Yolanda and future husband Wayne Carle first met in grade school in Provo, even starring opposite each other as leads in a school play. Yolanda went on to Brigham Young High School, where she excelled in several pursuits, including winning a multi-state debate competition. She was chosen to play the organ processional and recessional at her commencement. And it was at B.Y. High that she struck up a close lifelong friendship with Carma de Jong (Anderson). Yolanda graduated in the BYH Class of 1948. She attended BYU, where she was a founding member and officer of the Orchesis dance group, now in its 62nd year. Yolanda and Wayne were married in 1950, when she left college after two years to support his continuing college work. Children David, Cindy and Wendy were born in Provo. The family moved to Ohio in 1958, where Wayne began a career in school administration. Yolanda and Wayne served several positions of leadership in their LDS ward, including as Bishop and Relief Society president and presiding over the construction of a new ward and stake building. Yolanda devoted skill and energy in supporting Wayne in public and professional appearances and events. Son Brad arrived after the family moved again to Columbus. In 1968 they moved to Dayton, where Wayne was Superintendent of Schools in a time of many challenges facing the city's schools. Yolanda helped the family endure the intense stresses of the Dayton experience, serving as the family's emotional center. A local newspaper featured her as a model of "the woman behind the man." The family later moved to Northwest Indiana and then to Houston, Texas. Yolanda started a small business in designing and decorating clothing and worked at the retail level in fine fashions. The couple divorced in 1985, and in 1991 Yolanda returned to Provo, and later moved to Colorado to be near her two daughters. A memorial service and celebration of Yolanda's life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, August 21, 2010 at Walker-Sanderson Mortuary, 646 East 800 North, in Orem.
