Loyce Elaine Schuhmann, Shauna Lue Johnson, Peggy Poulson , Thompson

 



Loyce Elaine Schuhmann, age 79, Mt. Pleasant, Ut, peacefully returned to her Father in Heaven on June 30, 2021, at her home surrounded by her family. Loyce was born June 23, 1942, in San Diego, CA. She graduated from La Mesa High School in 1959. She then moved to Houston, TX where she met the love of her life, Jon Schuhmann. Loyce and Jon were married on July 3, 1960, in Houston, TX. Shortly after getting married, Loyce and Jon started their family. On July 4, 1961, a son, Chris joined the family. Soon a little girl, Terry April 25, 1963, came along. After living in Texas for a number of years, the family moved to southern California. There they added another little girl Kelly January 24, 1968, and then another baby boy, Michael November 27, 1970. While living in California, Loyce enjoyed her work as the District Office Manager of Lucky’s Grocery Stores.
After joining the church in September 1977, they were sealed as a forever family in the Los Angeles Temple on December 1, 1978.

After almost 20 years in California, Loyce and Jon and Jon decided to retire from their busy jobs and move to Utah. They finally landed in Mt. Pleasant, Utah where they have happily lived for 35 years. After moving to Utah, Loye and Jon had numerous businesses, but Loyce’s favorite was Jecs Office Supply and Craft Coop. Loyce loved being a businesswoman.

After joining the church, Loyce had many callings. She served in the Primary and Young Women's. She was the ward chorister and sang in the ward and community choirs. One of her favorite callings was the Advancement Leader in Scouting. She had that calling for 8 years and at that time she helped 17 young men earn the Eagle Scout award that she was so proud of.
Those boys were incredibly grateful to her and her dedication in helping them. Loyce was also a very devoted Temple worker and served in the Manti Temple cafeteria for 8 years. Loyce was also called to do Indexing (Genealogy) at the Gunnison Prison. Loyce and Jon were also called to go to the prison and do Family Home Evenings there on Monday nights. They enjoyed serving together for 5 years at the prison.

Loyce absolutely engulfed herself in doing the genealogy work for her family. She spent many days and nights working on it at home and the Family History Center. Loyce was an avid journal writer. Loyce loved to serve her Heavenly Father in any way that she could. She was continually serving those around her.

In her early years, Loyce loved to do oil painting. She loved quilting with her mother-in-law when she would come to visit for 6 months during the summer for many years. Loyce enjoyed having a big family garden. She enjoyed canning and sharing the harvest that their hard work produced.

Loyce loved to go to the many yard sales on Saturday morning with her good friend Genial.
Loyce’s greatest joy in this life was her family. Whether they were gathered together at Palisades, or Sunday dinners, birthdays, BBQs, card games, board games, or kickball in the front yard, it was being together as a family that she loved most. Besides her family, Loyce’s fur babies were loved just as much as her family. Loyce loved to sit out on the front porch at night with her sweetheart and enjoy the peacefulness of the town.
Loyce is survived by her eternal companion of 61 years Jon and their children Chris(Angela) Terry (Brett Bradley), Kelly (Dan Hermansen-deceased) and Michael (Deon), her sister, Dee Engelhard, 18 Grandchildren and 23 Great along with many nieces, nephew, and dear friends. She is preceded in death by her Grandmother Nora Bryan, Monroe and Alma Schuhmann Evelyn and Ted Newman, sister, Sammie Domich, Aunt Freida Newman, and Dan Hermansen, her son-in-law.

Obituary for Stephen Brent Monsen

Stephen Brent Monsen
1936-2021

Stephen, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend passed away June 8, 2021. He was surrounded by family members as they cried, laughed, and shared memories of his life and love.

Stephen was born May 29, 1936, in Spring City, Utah to Sheldon Monsen and Inez Justesen Monsen. His aunt always told the story of Stephen being born in the family home while she held the light. He spent his childhood in Mt Pleasant Utah, playing sports, riding horses, herding sheep, and of course being with friends and family. It was in grade school that Stephen started teasing a girl sitting in front of him, Lois Phillips, they later married in 1956 in the Manti Temple and the teasing continued throughout their marriage. Stephen and Lois added two sons to their family in 1957 and 1958 and a daughter in 1960. True to tradition, the 2 sons continue Stephens's love of teasing. Stephen was not afraid of hard work and always expected perfection. Stephen graduated from Snow College in 1955 and from Brigham Young University in 1960; the day his daughter was born. He worked for the Fish Game in Ephraim, Utah and continued his career as a botanist for the US Forest Service in Boise, Idaho and Provo, Utah. He was an expert in his field and published numerous papers and books on rangeland ecology. He had a love for the outdoors, gardening, raising animals, hunting, and spending time at his cabin in Fairview, Utah. His greatest love was his family. He loved supporting them in all of their activities and giving everyone in the family encouragement and guidance in their lives. An additional love of Stephen’s was food--especially sweets. A couple of the family’s favorite memories are of Grandpa Steve starting up his tractor, putting the grandkids (or great-grandkids) in the bucket, and driving the backroads in Mapleton to get a candy bar and a soda pop. When they returned from the tractor ride he would tell the kids scary stories and spend hours playing catch. Stephen was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many positions throughout his life. He was always serving others and made sure to teach his children the importance of charity; this Christ-like example is something the family hopes to carry on.

He is survived by his wife Lois Phillips Monsen, children; Craig and (Shelly) Monsen, Tod and (Robi) Monsen, and Stephanie and (Jon) Anderson, 18 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents, Sheldon and Inez Monsen, brothers; Sheldon Jay Monsen and John Phillip Monsen, and grandchildren; Amy Rebecca Monsen and Jesse Stephen Monsen.

Funeral and viewing Service will be held at the Mapleton 23rd ward building house (1050 N 300 W) Friday, June 18th at 10:30 AM. A viewing will precede the services Thursday, June 17th at 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm and Friday, June 18th from 9:00 am to 10:00 am. Stephen will be buried in the Mt. Pleasant, Utah cemetery.

Gordon had a deep love and respect for each member of his family and desired that each visit with grandchildren resulted in fond memories that could be recalled throughout life. He also developed an appreciation of his ancestry, gathering family history records and doing work for them in the temple.

His life was busy with little time wasted. His extra activities included: North Sanpete Jr. High student body president, North Sanpete Seminary president, and Snow College student body president. Gordon was a talented musician, playing the trumpet throughout high school and college. He played in three dance bands in the 1950s as well as more solemn occasions such as military funerals and Memorial Day services.

As a young man, he grew up with a love of the outdoors hunting and fishing and sought his life’s work in an occupation that would keep him close to nature. Gordon graduated from Snow College and Utah State University in the field of Natural Resource Management. He was also a graduate of both Snow College and Utah State University LDS Institutes of Religion and the University Of Montana School Of Administrative Leadership.

The eldest son of a military man, Gordon grew up taking much responsibility for his parent’s family while his father was serving his country during World War II and the Korean War.

Following a Staker family tradition, Gordon was seventeen when he enlisted in the Utah National Guard where he served for eight years. During the Cuban Missile Crisis Gordon’s unit was activated through 1961-62 as an attachment to the U.S. Army.

Gordon was always found serving Heavenly Father whom he loved. He served as a bishop in Cedar City, Utah, Escalante, Utah, and Baker, Oregon, as Branch President in Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, and on the High Council of the Annandale, Virginia Stake, the Beaverton, Oregon, Stake, and the Cedar City, Utah Stake.

After retirement, he and his wife, Beverly, served five missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Russia Moscow Mission, the Hawaii Honolulu Mission, the New York Rochester Mission at the Hill Cumorah Historic Sites, the Ohio Cleveland Mission at the Kirtland Historic Sites, and the California Fresno Mission.

Gordon and his wife, Beverly, served for over five years as Temple Ordinance workers in St. George Temple.

Linda was born on April 17, 1942, in Mt. Pleasant, UT, to Royal Andrew Madsen and Zella Mower Madsen — their youngest daughter. She was raised in Mt. Pleasant, attended BYU for a while, and eventually settled down in West Valley City, UT.

Erwin Jay Smith

12/7/1948 ~ 10/18/2020

Erwin Jay Smith passed away on the 18th of October 2020 at home due to complications from cancer. Erwin was born on December 7th, 1948 to Mahlon and Annie Mae (Gardiner) Smith, the second of seven children. He attended school in Lindon and Pleasant Grove graduating in 1967. He served in the Alaska/British Columbia LDS mission. He continued to serve the LDS church during his life in many capacities throughout the years to include: Bishopric, Sunday School Teacher, Young Men’s, and as a Temple Worker which he truly enjoyed. He married Deon Beveridge for time and all eternity on March 4, 1971 in the Salt Lake Temple. They were blessed/cursed (depending on one’s point of view) with three sons; Brett, Kayle and Justin.

Erwin worked hard throughout his life as a brick mason and coal miner. He was never one to shirk from a tough day’s work, taking pride in the fact that he made an honest living. He also served in the Utah National Guard, retiring as a Sergeant First Class. Erwin was proud of his time in Delta and Alpha companies of the 1457th Engineer Battalion and of his service in support of Desert Storm. After finishing his service to his country in uniform, he continued to serve as he revitalized the American Legion Post 4 in Mt. Pleasant during which time he served as the commander for several years.

Erwin supported his three sons and their families in all their endeavors throughout the years.

Grandpa Erwin and Grandma Deon were delighted with their 19 grandchildren as they tried to attend most events of grandchildren’s events to support them. It didn’t matter whether it was football, dance, softball, baseball, soccer, boxing, choir, basketball, wrestling, scouts, young women’s, a mission, an academic achievement, military service or a graduation; Grandpa would be there to cheer/console, congratulate, love and let them know that he cared for each of them.

Erwin is survived by his wife of 49 years Deon, his three sons, Brett (Merri), Kayle (Shelley), and Justin (Sara) and 19 (+ 4 additional that married in) grandchildren; his mother-in law Rosalyn Beveridge, his sisters Renda Bahr, Denise Sorensen, Cindy (Kerry Graves) three brothers Dan (Jane) Smith, Tod (Krystal) Smith and Tony Smith. Preceded in death by his parents Mahlon and Annie Mae Smith, father-in law Darrell Beveridge, and two brother in-laws Kent Sorensen and Carl Bahr.

A viewing will be held on Sunday evening the 25th of October from 6:00 – 8:00 pm at Rasmussen Mortuary located at 96 N in 100 W in Mt. Pleasant.

DeeAnn Peterson Lubbers

 

 


DeeAnn Peterson Lubbers

10/28/1939 ~ 10/17/2020

DeeAnn was born in Salt Lake City and raised in Mt. Pleasant, Utah by her parents Josephine Pagano Peterson and Bert Edwin Peterson. She followed her mother’s profession as an educator, teaching elementary students for 30+ years with a special emphasis on reading. Like her father, she loved the country life and maintained her childhood home, returning often.

DeeAnn graduated from North Sanpete High School, Class of 1957, and valued lifelong friendships with her classmates. Following high school and through her college years she worked summers at Zion National Park, a sanctuary she loved throughout her life. She graduated from the University of Utah in 1961 and began her dreams to travel the world. In the summer of 1962, some 17 short years from the end of WWII, she set sail, traveling alone, from Los Angeles to Japan where she lived as an exchange student with a family in Nagano, creating a lifelong bond. That family would visit DeeAnn’s family in Tucson, AZ in the late 1970s, teaching her young sons at an early age to love, value and appreciate all of God’s children the world over. She would go on to earn a Master’s degree from the University of Arizona in Early Childhood Development and a certificate in Gerontology. As a lifelong learner, in her retirement years she enrolled in the Institute of Continual Learning at Dixie State University and took classes of all varieties for many years.

In 1963 she married W. Boyd Dover and had two sons; W. Brent Dover (Catherine) and Bert Travis Dover (Gena). After a divorce, DeeAnn had the good fortune to meet and marry Earl R. Lubbers in Tucson, Arizona in 1973. Earl became the “father he didn’t have to be” to Brent and Bert. They added their son Ryan Earl Lubbers (Raquel) and have eleven wonderful grandchildren who were her “jewels in the crown of old age.”

Earl and DeeAnn loved one another deeply, and found a shared sense of adventure in finding opportunities for travel throughout America and much of the world, including missionary pick-ups in Finland/Russia and Brazil. They twice participated in the China Teacher Program for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, living and teaching English and American Culture to students in Qingdao and Xi’An China for a total of two years. DeeAnn always had a very strong commitment to learn about her pioneer and immigrant heritage which involved traveling several times to Sweden and Italy to meet many relatives and obtain genealogy records. In 2011, she had a marvelous experience of guiding and teaching her three sons of their Swedish and Italian roots. DeeAnn and Earl also served their church in a variety of callings including Scouting, teaching, and service in the Tucson, Arizona Mission.

Upon retirement and having lived the majority of their adult lives in Arizona, Earl and DeeAnn moved to St. George, Utah and welcomed friends and family from many countries and states into their home. They especially enjoyed having extended family from Europe come to visit and see where their ancestors settled when they came to America in the 1860s, and former students from China visit for long stays, experiencing “American life” with her entire family, and visiting the National Parks.

With strong roots, fearless wings, and imaginative dreams, she had a wonderful life!
DeeAnn is preceded in death by her parents and half sister Bonnie Peterson Jefferies.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the LDS missionary fund, or the Mt. Pleasant public library.
A Graveside service was held Saturday October 24, 2020 at 12:00 noon in the Mt. Pleasant City Cemetery with a viewing prior at 11:45 at the cemetery. Online condolences at rasmussenmortuary.com

Gayle Lynne Seely

 

 

 



Gayle Lynne Seely

6/13/1956 ~ 10/18/2020

Gayle Lynne Seely of Mt. Pleasant Utah returned to her Heavenly Father on October 18, 2020. She was born June 13, 1956 to Arnold Van Terry and Edith Kaye LeDuc in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was married for time and all eternity to Steven Burt Seely August 3, 1974 in the Provo, Utah Temple.

Gayle and Steven settled in Mt. Pleasant Utah where they raised four sons, Steve, Brian, Jeffrey, and Kevin.
Gayle was a devoted, loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was a confidante. She was always there for her sons and family, no matter what was going on, whether it be lending a helping hand, babysitting, or just being there to talk. Her life was her family. She loved her family with a passion that was immeasurable.

Gayle loved to be outdoors. She loved camping trips with her family. She always made a big breakfast to share and she was always prepared. If something was forgotten, Gayle would usually have it, ready and willing to share.

She had a love for gardening, canning and preserving food to feed to her family.

Gayle was a wonderful homemaker. She enjoyed sewing clothes, which she did for her boys as they were growing up. She also sewed doll clothing and spent hours sewing beautiful quilts for her family to enjoy.

Gayle loved animals! It was a good thing she married a farmer, which allowed her to have many animals over the years. She loved raising goats, even if it meant milking them in the rain. She loved her chickens and gathered the eggs for breakfasts. She loved her cats, especially her Manx cats. She also loved many dogs over the years, with a particular soft spot for her dog Rosie.

Throughout the years she worked as a lunch lady, sold doll clothes that she made, sold products ranging from cosmetics to cleaning products. She worked for a local farmer’s market the last several years. She did all this while helping run the family farm with Steven.

Gayle knew how to work and was a hard worker. She helped with branding and vaccinating the cattle, separating the cows, hauling the livestock to auction, and chasing down stray sheep that got out. She was there for it all, right alongside her boys. She even operated the farm equipment at times. She did it all.
She was a cub scout den mother and helped her sons, some of her grandsons, and many others through the scout program, working with some to earn their Eagle Scout awards.

She had an immense love of God and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She had a firm belief in the gospel, even in times of trial. When she and Steven lost their first born son Neil, and then again when they lost Jeffrey, she never lost her faith in her Heavenly Father or the gospel.

She is survived by her mother, Edith Kaye LeDuc, Sandy, UT; Husband Steven Seely; sons, Steve (Amanda) Seely, Moroni, UT; Brian (Kamey) Seely, Mt. Pleasant, UT; Hillery Morrow (Forrest), Ephraim, UT; Kevin (Aileen) Seely, Mayfield, UT;
Siblings, Susan (Dee) Rosenlof; Cindy (Phil) Ballif; Frank (Raelene) Terry; Jeannette Ingersoll; Paul (Shelly) Terry; Jamie (Mark) Dunfield; Daniel (Kami) Terry; Becky (Cade) Beck; and 14 grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her father Arnold Van Terry, and sons, Neil Seely and Jeffrey Allan Seely.
Funeral services were held Friday, October 23, 2020, at 1:00 p.m.

LaRue Johnson Beck Stewart

 


LaRue Johnson Beck Stewart

5/24/1927 ~ 9/8/2020


Mt. Pleasant — LaRue Johnson Beck Stewart, 93, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great great grandmother returned home to parents, siblings, husbands, son, granddaughter, grandson & great grandson in Orem, Utah (on her son, Stephen Kelly Beck’s birthday). She was born in Fairview to Myron Levi Johnson and Margaret Luella Terry Johnson on May 24, 1927. She was the youngest of seven children. She attended grade school and middle school in Fairview and graduated from North Sanpete High School in 1945. LaRue was selected as Miss Liberty (Miss Fairview) the year after she graduated from high school. She worked as a bookkeeper for Bradshaw Auto Parts after graduating. While working she met Delmar Jacob Beck and was married April 2, 1947 in the Manti Temple. Starting in 1963 Mom worked as a manager of the school lunch program for North Sanpete High School and Mt. Pleasant Elementary. She then worked as the North Sanpete District School Lunch Supervisor over the seven schools in the district for 10 1/2 years. During this tenure, LaRue had the privilege of working on the State School Lunch Association Committee for several years. She was the first certified chairman over getting all school lunch workers certified in Utah. This gave LaRue many opportunities to visit other districts, lunch programs and conventions.

Mother was a member of the Laicos Club since 1955 and enjoyed socializing with the many friends she made during this time.

She and Daddy loved to dance and taught dancing for years. Our parents were devoted to serving the Lord and teaching their children the gospel of Jesus Christ. They were married for 40 wonderful years and were given the opportunity to serve as ordinance workers in the Manti LDS Temple. After Delmar passed away August 29, 1987, she met Leo Lavern Stewart and they were married in the Manti Temple on July 11, 1988. Leo and LaRue were selected as the Sweetheart Couple for Snow College Institute, which was a great privilege in February 2000. Momma loved to travel and she and Leo had the blessing of traveling to many countries. She felt she was very fortunate to travel to Israel where the Savior lived, walked, taught, blessed and died. Each member of LaRue’s family were very dear to her and she shared her love with each of them.

She held many church callings and enjoyed them all. When she was in the Stake Primary Presidency, they arranged to attend General Conference and stayed at the Hotel Utah. Throughout Mother’s life she met each challenge, and there were many, with a positive attitude and knew they would pass and be for her best good – always relying on the Savior.

Mom and Delmar were blessed with four children: J. Dee (Linda), Stephen Kelly deceased (Vicki), Susan Lynnette (Brent) and Lizetta. Leo’s children are: Leonard Earl (LaWauna), Donna Marie (Ed), and Kenneth Lee (Karen). She had 31 grandchildren, 88 great grandchildren and 32 great great grandchildren.

Melba Shelley Hill ~~~ Author of Mountainville History

Melba Fay Shelley Hill

December 6, 1941 ~ July 20, 2020





Melba Fay Shelley Hill was born December 6, 1941, in Mountainville, Utah, to John and Fannie Shelley. Melba was blessed to be raised on the farm with eight brothers. After she graduated from North Sanpete High School, she went to work in Salt Lake City, where she met Donald E Hill. They were married in the Manti Temple on April 13, 1961. They had three children: Shelley, David, & Valerie and also welcomed Leonard Stewart into their family for several years. The family moved from Midvale, Utah, back to Mt. Pleasant, Utah, in 1972, where Melba wanted to raise her children closer to family and out of the big city.
Melba was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in many callings, including as Relief Society teacher, Young Women president, and family history consultant, but her favorite callings were with the children as Primary chorister, Primary teacher, or Cub Scout leader. Melba loved children, and she had a talent for creating fun activities and memories for her own children and grandchildren, as well as for many young relatives and friends. Like the Pied Piper, she could often be found leading a group of children for a walk in the creek, hunting for buttercup flowers, creating giant bubbles, hiding in the “thicket” under the dining table, or searching for treasures with her metal detector.
Melba loved being outside in nature. She had a sharp eye for birdwatching, hunting for arrow heads, star gazing, and collecting sea shells in Northern California. She loved long lunch breaks walking in the hills with Don. She also enjoyed years of early-morning walks with her friends. She expressed her appreciation for the beauty of the world through her artwork, using oils, watercolors, and charcoal.
While she was raising her kids, Melba had several jobs to help provide for her family. She worked as a lunch lady, custodian, and babysitter to the Hobby kids, who grew to call her Mommy Hill. Melba became a case manager for Central Utah Counseling Center in Ephraim, where she was known for her kind heart and listening ear.
After she retired in 2006, Melba served in the California Santa Rosa Mission of the Church. Later, she felt she wasn’t doing enough with her life, so she served two more missions: one in the Family & Church History Mission in Salt Lake City, and one in the Family History Mission from her home. She also served in the Manti Temple. Melba’s life exemplified love, selfless service, kindness, peace, and gentleness.
Melba passed away at her son’s home on Monday, July 20, 2020. Melba is preceded in death by her parents and by her sweetheart, Don. She will be thrilled to be reunited with him after 21 years! Melba is survived by their children, Shelley (Jeff) Trump of Round Lake, IL, David (Jeana) Hill of Herriman, UT, and Valerie (Shayne) Stegman of Mesa, AZ, as well as by 8 beloved grandchildren: Liz, William, Jake (Heidi), Jaylynn (Jordan), Janesa (Mike), Bryant, Chad, & Emerie. Family has been the joy of her life! Melba is also survived by her 8 brothers and their spouses: Lloyd & Virginia (Cedar City), Ben & Sandy (Bountiful), Ross & Nadene (Nephi), Ervin & Loretta (Fairview), Ivan & Dawn (Oak Creek), Lowell & Barby (Salt Lake City), Hal & Becky (Mountainville), and Louis & Nancy (Price).
A viewing will be held at Rasmussen Mortuary, 96 N 100 W, Mt. Pleasant, on Monday, July 27, 6-8pm. Graveside services will be held on Tuesday, July 28th at 11am at the Mt. Pleasant City Cemetery.
