Class of 1957. Kolleen Johnston. Children's Theater, Pep Club, Exchange Assembly, Chorus, Senior Hop Committee, Graduation Committee. BYU BA 1962. She married Roe E. Smith, BYU 1959. @2007 ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Our beautiful mother, Kolleen RaNee Johnston Smith, 81, passed away November 24, 2020, in Cedar City, Utah. She was born August 7, 1939 in American Fork, Utah to William Allen Johnston and Phillis Schaub Johnston. She married her sweetheart, Roe Elijah Smith on June 15, 1960 in Provo, Utah, and they were sealed for eternity on June 16, 1962 in the Los Angeles, California Temple. Mom was the fourth of five daughters. She spent her younger years in Price. Kolleen graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1957. She and our dad met in Provo, and after his time in the Army, they were married and moved to California where they had 6 children. Mom was one of the most Christ-like people we knew and an exceptional example of living a Christ-centered life. She attended the temple often, wrote in her journal nearly every day, and held several positions in her church. She was an amazing cook and baker, talented seamstress, quilter, and crocheter, and shared these gifts with everyone. She also played the piano, the ukulele, and could sing an alto part beautifully. Her gardening skills provided fresh fruits and vegetables as well as canned and dried food. She spent most of her life in selfless service. There were always platters of homemade cookies, bread and jam being delivered and she often made visits to those in need taking us along with her. We were always well groomed, not a hair out of place, and she made sure we had a hot breakfast every morning, a homemade lunch for school, and amazing dinners when we returned at night to a spick-and-span home. Mom was competitive and loved sports. Some of our best memories are her cheering for us, or her favorite teams, the Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Clippers, all of Southern Utah University athletics, or being beat by her at every game we played. She was a talented golfer and won many awards and she loved spending time with our dad on the golf course. Mom was completely devoted to our dad, and to her children. She gave everything she had, and was spunky, tough, and strong, and endured the pain in her physical body without complaint. She is the center of our family, but we are grateful she is free from pain and reunited with her baby boy Rod, sister Norma, and countless others she loved. She is survived by her spouse Roe Elijah Smith of Enoch, Utah, children Del Smith (Lara) of Hurricane, Utah, Len Smith of Vista, California, Sue Winkler (Kyle) of Hurricane, Utah, Edy Patrick (Alex) of Siesta Key, Florida, Eli Smith of Cedar City, Utah, grandchildren Zak, Tia, Brody, Jay, Evan, Garet, Shaney, Brook, William and Cher, and great-granddaughters Capri, Lucy, and Nayvi, and her sisters Paralee Johnston Bechtel of Cedar City, Utah, Carol Johnston Koehler of St. George, Utah, and Judi Johnston Robinson of Omaha, Nebraska. She was preceded in death by her son Rod Smith, sister Norma Lee Johnston, and her parents. Special thanks to the staff at Stonehenge in Cedar City and Mike Jensen who cared for both of our parents. A viewing will be held on December 4, 2020 from 5-5:45 pm at Southern Utah Mortuary, 190 North 300 West, Cedar City, Utah. Funeral services will be the same evening at 6 pm.

Would have been there for 8th in 1967-1968 (when BYH closed) but our family was to move to Virginia. Move delayed, so I had to go to Farrer instead. Did move to Virginia following year.

Albert and Sarah Jones

Circa BYA Class of 1889. Albert Stephen Jones. Albert was born on January 15, 1871 in Provo, Utah, to Samuel Stephen Jones and Julia B. Ipson Jones. Albert married Sarah Elizabeth Fletcher Jones in 1897. Albert died on July 1, 1962 in Provo, Utah. His wife, Sarah, died in 1966. They are both buried in the Provo City Cemetery. ~ ~ ~ ~ News Article: On Tuesday, Feb. 2, 1960 Universe Feature Editor Chris Allred wrote about a Cougar basketball fan couple who attended Brigham Young Academy and the Church Normal School when Karl G. Maeser was teaching. Within the article, the couple talks about their time at school and how the campus has changed since the late 1800s. ~ ~ ~ ~ Memories, Memories — Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jones, Provo residents, look over their long life together. Jones went to Brigham Young Academy when there were only seven faculty members and a few dozen students in the school. “We still go to every basketball game, never miss one,” said two of Brigham Young University’s oldest living graduates and loyal fans. Albert Jones, 89, and his wife Sarah, 86, are given a season ticket to all Y games by their children each year. “There were no team sports when we went to school,” said Mr. Jones, “Only games we played were at noon-time so we are making up for what we missed.” During the Jones’ school years, the BYU was called the Brigham Young Academy and the Church Normal School. Mrs. Jones explained that “Normal” was a term describing a two-year course designed to educate teachers. After graduation the teacher was placed in one of the district schools. “We met in the Old Chamber of Commerce building where the Farmers and Merchants bank is now located,” continued Jones. “There were two rooms downstairs for classes and a hall and theater upstairs.” All plays, activities and dances were held in the upper story. “I remember Brother Karl G. Maeser well,” he reminisced. “He taught the theology classes and higher group courses.” Besides President Maeser, there were seven other faculty members, he recalled. Mr. Jones relates that the school day would begin with a song and prayer, then theology and following that the regular classes. “We didn’t have any high schools then. The Academy taught grades from the ‘Fifth Primer’ to graduation,” he said. “I remember one day when the students came to school — and no school,” Jones remarked. “During the night the old building had burned down!” In the next few years, he said, school was held in the Old Provo Tabernacle and ZCMI warehouse. “People thought it was real crazy to build the new school on 6th North and University, clear out of town.” In 1892, when the Academy, with Benjamin Cluff at the head, moved to the present site of lower campus, it was some blocks outside the town. “You have a beautiful campus on the hill, now,” put in Mrs. Jones. Her statement reminded Mr. Jones of a prophecy he had heard Brigham Young make once that the hill where upper campus is now situated would one day be the site of a temple. “I always called it Temple Hill,” he said, “Because all that is up there are temples of learning.” When questioned about his major, Jones replied, “I just took general courses like reading and writing and history. We didn’t have the same organization that you have.” He served a mission for the Church in the Tonga Islands and has presented a rare Tongan Bible and a Tongan-English dictionary to the BYU Library. He has also presented the University with a bust of Brigham Young. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were married in 1897 and have celebrated 62 anniversaries. They have four children, 13 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren, many of whom have attended BYU. The article in its original paper layout can be found here.
