She was preceded in death by her parents, Leland M. Perry and McNone Perry. She is survived by her children, David Carle, Cindy Carle Davenport, Wendy Catherine Carle, and Brad Carle; grandchildren Preston Lee Carle, Riley Perry Carle, Evan Carle Chandler and Matthew Carle Chandler; brothers Malin and Russell Perry; close friends and sisters-in-law Marilyn and Judy Perry; and former husband Wayne Carle. 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.

After the death of his father, he was raised by his grandfather, Charles Alma Peterson, raised in Ogden, Utah. Chuck graduated from Ogden's Central Junior High, Ogden High School, Weber State College and the University of Chicago. Charles married Harriet May Robison October 4, 1935 in Chicago, Illinois, later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple.

She attended Ogden city Schools, and graduated with honors from Weber State College. Harriet's life was filled with selfless acts of kindness to friends, neighbors, missionaries, and her family. She had a special talent and love for gardening; her bouquets were shared in chapels, hospitals, and homes of those in need. She served as president of the Relief Society, Ladies Literary Club, Phile Nada Club, and was a volunteer for countless service organizations. In 1991 she was awarded the BYU Presidential Citation for Exemplary Service. Chuck and Harriett's greatest love was for their family. Chuck and Harriet had four children, all of whom attended Brigham Young High School in Provo:
-- Charles Eric "Charlie" Peterson [BYH Class of 1954] (married Jan) of Vashon Island, Washington;
-- Joan Peterson [BYH Class of 1957] (married M. Byron Fisher [BYH Class of 1955) of Springdale, Utah;

Almost every Wildcat yearbook carried an advertisement for Chuck Peterson's Motors. A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all his life, Chuck served as high counselor, bishop, stake president, president of the Chicago South Mission, and home teacher. Chuck loved political life and served his community and state in many positions. Six governors appointed him to various committees and leadership positions. He served for five years on the Coordinating Counsel for Higher Education, and as Vice Chair for 10 years on the Board of Regents, as well as on the Utah Highway Patrol Commission.

Chuck also served on the Utah National Parks Council of The Boy Scouts of America, was a member of the Provo Kiwanis for 50 years, and was a former Kiwanis President.

The fast-stepping B.Y. high school Wildcats will journey to Eureka Friday, and will tangle with Tintic high school that evening in a practice tussle. Coach Joe Buys' proteges swung into action last week, when they journeyed to Heber and handed the Wasatch high hoopsters a 24-9 trouncing. The Wildcats are coming along nicely at present, and expect to put a formidable team into the Alpine division competition next month. The present regular lineup has Aldy Smith and Drayton Nuttall, forwards; Russell Ellsworth, center; Bill Wilson and Wilson Booth, guards. Ned Smart, diminutive forward who won his letter last season, has been out of the game for a time, recovering from an injury. Clayton Peterson, Tom Eastmond and Joe Swenson, all forwards, are three men who have been seeing considerable action, and cannot be counted out of the running for a regular berth as yet. The game with Eureka is of exceptional interest since the Wildcats’ showing against a strong Nebo division team is of real importance in a pre-season schedule.
