Class of 1946. Carol Richardson. She graduated from BYH on May 23, 1946. Source: 1946 BYH Graduation Exercises Program.~ ~ ~ ~ BRIEF BIO: I was born up near Logan, but moved to California with my family when I was 2 years old. We lived several places in California for 11 years, including most of the time near and in Sacramento. My folks lived north of Pleasant Grove in the Manila Ward, and I went to Pleasant Grove schools from the mid-8th through the 11th grade. I was unhappy there. My mother had attended BYU from 1908-1911, and then became a school teacher, and she still had many old friends in Provo. She found a couple with whom I could live and attend BY High School, and I lived with them from 1945-46. I was very happy there! I graduated from BYH in 1946; I only attended there in my Senior year. I did attend BYU for one year, 1946-47. ~ ~ ~ ~ I married 1st to Kenward McKinney of Sacramento, California. He passed away on 6 Aug 2002, at age 77 yrs., while we were living in Price, Utah. There is a BIO of mine, on a website, which can be accessed and read of my life and marriage to Ken for 54 yrs., plus all our adventures and travels around the world. Go here to see it: http://www.asktom-naturally.com I've been working online with a noted New York nutritionist, Tom O'Brien, since 1998, helping him answer health questions from many persons around the world, along with others of his Health Advisors who are also on that website. When the first Page opens, scroll down to my name and Click on it. There,you can see my Pic and read my Bio, plus several articles which I've written. ~~~~ Married 2nd to Ronald Alexander, who was born near Cleveland, Ohio, but spent his life after 1951, SE of Houston,Texas. His wife passed away in April 2002. He then sold out his contracting business and went to live with his son in Destin, Forida. We met via the Internet in a chat room of a mutual investment group. After 3 months of exchanging emails, phone calls, and letters with pics, I flew down to Florida to meet him on 30 Jan 2003. It didn't take us long to confirm what we already knew: that we were compatible in many ways and both lonely. So we were married on Valentine's Day, 14 Feb 2003, in the Ft. Walton Beach LDS Chapel, by the Bishop. Ronald was baptized the next day, after taking the missionary lessons, and being satisfied that the sister missionaries knew more than all the prior ministers ever did, and who could never answer his probing questions about Life, why we are here on Earth, and what happens after death. My two older daughters, Rynda Christensen and Dari Lynne Davis, who lived in Nashville, Tennessee, and Huntingtown, Maryland, were able to be at our wedding, with their husbands. They fully approved! And the son-in-law from Maryland, Norman Davis, was the one who baptized him on Feb. 15th, and ordained him a Priest. In March Ronald and I flew back to Utah to pick up my car, more clothes, and assorted other stuff. He then met my other two daughters, Debbie Henrie of Price, and Kenna Onoman of Taylorsville, plus my son, Bruce McKinney, of Draper. They are all married with families, too. All of them really liked and approved of Ronald, including the grandkids! At the present time I have 21 of those, and 17.75 great-grandkidlets (one being expected in mid-November, 2005!) While we were in Utah, Ronald and I traveled around and visited three national parks in southern Utah (Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef). He had never seen Utah before and was unfamiliar with mountains! We also drove to California and met my older brother, James Richardson and his wife, living in Portola, about 50 miles north of Lake Tahoe. Then we went down to Sacramento and saw many others of my nieces, nephews and cousins. We also went to San Francisco and up the Pacific coast for over 100 miles. When we returned to Florida, via Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, we came to live here in Panama City Beach, about 50 miles east of Destin. There is a small but growing Branch of the Church here, and we were welcomed with open arms. Ronald was soon made Exec. Sec. and I teach in Relief Society, plus a Genealogy class during Sunday School, including Online PAF. I've had extensive experience with that, as over the years I submitted more than 32,000 names on my first husband's lines. (He joined the Church soon after our marriage in Sacramento.) Now I'm busily researching Ronald's lines, directly back to Scotland, among others. Already have more than 1,500 names typed into a PAF program, and several hundred submitted, so far. In March 2004, we traveled 325 miles to the nearest LDS temple (Orlando) where he received his endowments, and we did much work for his ancestors during the three days we were there. Our time there coincided with the youth of our Branch, and Ronald was able to baptize some of them for over 75 of his direct ancestors and their kin. We also performed a number of endowments and sealings, too with Ronald and I for his parents, wife, and other ancestors. Then I was proxy when his wife was sealed to him, and for his mother when he was sealed to his parents. All this has brought great joy to both of us, as we KNOW that the Lord brought us together so we could accomplish that great work. There is still MUCH more to complete during the rest of our lives, and we consider that we are on a Mission to this beautiful part of Florida, helping to build up the Lord's Kingdom here and aiding others in many ways. There are more LDS members in Florida than any other state east of the Mississippi River, and this area of Florida, especially our Panama City Stake, is one of the fastest growing in the state. It won't be too much longer than our little Branch will be a Ward, too. @2005 ~ ~ ~ ~ Address updated from Florida to Utah. @2010

Class of 1912~Honorary. Genevieve (Gen) Richardson Lundell. Gen Richardson was the first daughter born to Thomas and Eunice Lettie Hickman Richardson on July 7, 1894, in Benjamin, Utah. (She sometimes complained because her name was too long to fit on a signature line.) She was the fifth child born into the family. She had dark eyes and dark hair. We know very little of her early life, but it is positive that she worked hard being the oldest daughter in a large family. She was a very good student and recieved two special promotions in Elementry School, which made her too young at 8th grade graduation to go away to school. She stayed in Benjamin and attended 8th grade a second year. After that she attended Brigham Young Academy. Her father was active in the Democratic Party. Gen's brother Les said that their father said that the person his child married should be a Democrat first and Mormon second. She was nominated and elected to the office of Utah County Recorder for several terms. She held that position from 1918-1920 and then elected again from 1922-1926. She was still in public service at the time she married Frank Joseph (Joe) Lundell on April 2, 1924 in the Salt Lake Temple. During her stay in Provo, she had stayed with her Grandmother Hickman and her Aunt Laura. During 1917 or 1918 when many people died of complications from influenza she was very ill and had to have a nurse attend her. The nurse stole Gen's World War I war bonds, which were never recovered. She would never drive an automobile after the experience she had with her father's Model T. She stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake and almost went through a store window. Their first child was born January 24, 1925 at home. Joe wrote in his diary that day, "Baby was born 1:40 A.M." Gen was quite ill for awhile after the birth. Lottie Lou was born on January 20, 1930 also at home. Joe wrote another note: "Baby born 5:30 A.M." Gen was a very good and protective mother. She was a wonderful cook. The Depression caused them to lose some of their property and for many years their lives were spent working extra hard. She was always taking something to someone who needed help. As each of our Aunts had their babies or were ill, she thought she had to go to them and take food. Her sister Eunice was ill most of her life and she spent a lot of time with her. At the time our Grandmother passed away she took care of her in our home and spent much time in her home. They took their children to all of the parades around, and then to any fireworks at night. Gen and Joe lived on a farm and she worked very hard raising a garden and canning all kinds of fruits and vegetables. She liked to quilt and do hand sewing. She didn't like to sew on the sewing machine but when her girls started sewing she could help them figure out patterns and help them do the things that needed to be done. Lottie Lou married Clair Anderson, March 5, 1950. Gen wasn't a person who liked to be up in front of people taking part. She enjoyed doing secretary work. She was a secretary to the Relief Society, Primary, and YWMIA, both ward and stake. She also was the secretary to other organizations such as Utah Poultry, and was the Registrar of Vital Statistics for Benjamin. Joe and Gen had gotten over their financial difficulties and life was getting easier for them when Joe had a heart attack on October 11, 1951. Gen never got over the shock. She suffered a stroke the first part of December, and died December 16, 1951, two months after Joe. Doctor Stewart said that it was slight, she should have completely recovered, but she didn't have the will to live after Joe died. Giving a tribute to her at her funeral service one of her lifelong friends said, "She was a beautiful girl and she lived a beautiful life. She wasn't a person that went about and made a big show but she went about her life in her quiet, unassuming way, living her religion, and doing good. She was blessed with a keen sense of humor, which added to her personality. She set an example for life that is worthy of imitation."

Class of 1954. Alan G. Richens. Band, Fauvine Drummer, Spanish Club, Photography Club. BYU 1964. Lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, until moving to St. George, Utah. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Alan Grant Richens passed away peacefully on June 7, 2015, at the age of 78, in St. George, Utah. He was born in Los Angeles, California on November 11, 1936 to Dr. Grant Duke and Cleora Huntsman Richens. Dad was sincere in his passions, treasured his family, and was prone to a bit of playful mischief. His first memories are of living in Los Angeles during World War II and hearing the warning sirens indicating that a bomb raid was overhead. The family soon moved to Provo, Utah where Dad grew up on Cherry Lane at the foot of the Provo Mountains. He loved riding his horse up into the foothills. A graduate from Brigham Young High School, Class of 1954, he later attended Utah State University where he earned a Business degree. During this time, Dad earned his pilot's license and funded his education by teaching flying lessons. Flying was more than a job to dad as his flight log is full of entries for "scenic flight." Dad took great pride in serving his country, with multiple enlistments in the Utah Air National Guard. He was soon swept off his feet by Miss Franklin County, Anna Lee Fisher. They were married in the Logan Temple on March 8, 1963 and had three children. The most important things in Dad's life were his family, working hard, and doing things for others. He worked in the insurance business most of his life, owning an Allstate Agency. After moving to St. George, he went to work for his daughter-in-law, well past retirement age, at the Richens Eye Center. Getting up every day and having a purpose and a goal were very important to him. He had an entrepreneurial spirit and was always dreaming up big ideas - he always had a yellow notepad nearby to jot down notes. Spending time with family was always a priority. Dad set aside every Saturday night to take the family to Pizza Oven. He was at every baseball, softball and soccer game and always had an encouraging word. He is survived by his wife, Anna Lee, his children, David (Sharon), Suzanne (Rick) Pike, Doug (Jeanine), sister Joyce (Darrell) Graff, brother Don (Jean) Asay, eleven grandchildren, extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Myrna Larsen. Funeral services will be held Friday, June 12, 2015, 3 pm at the Spilsbury Mortuary, 110 S. Bluff St, St. George, Utah, with a viewing prior at 1 pm to 2:30 pm. Graveside services will be held Saturday, June 13, 2015, 3 pm at the Clifton, Idaho Cemetery. The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the home health nurses and medical staff at Dixie Regional Medical Center who assisted him in his final days.

As a young girl and teenager, she was raised in Huntington Park, California. After her father passed away, the family moved to Provo, Utah. There she and her sister, Wanda, attended Brigham Young High School. Norma graduated from BYH in the Class of 1941. For a time the family lived in the Henry Eyring home as the Eyrings were away on scientific business. It was there on a Sunday morning while getting ready for church that they heard the announcement by radio that Pearl Harbor had been bombed. This marked the beginning of World War II for the United States. After high school graduation, Norma worked for a time for Geneva Steel as a typist earning enough money to go to school to fulfill her life long dream of going to college and becoming a nurse. She attended Brigham Young University taking undergraduate classes. At that time Brigham Young University did not have a nursing program, so she applied and was admitted into the School of Nursing at The University of Utah. It was while there that she joined the Military Nursing Cadet Program and graduated as a Registered Nurse. She described that day as one of the happiest days of her life. She loved taking care of the sick as a nurse and felt blessed to be able to help people in that way. She met her husband, Cline Durfey, while working at the BYU Health Center. They were married for time and all eternity June 4, 1951 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They enjoyed 60 very happy and adventurous years together. Norma received a Bachelors Degree from the University of Utah in Nursing. She also earned a Master’s Degree from Brigham Young University. And a second Masters Degree in Public Health from UCLA. Norma was the Director of Nursing at the hospital in San Jose, California. She taught nursing at Brigham Young University. She also enjoyed working as a School Nurse, helping children. Norma served five missions. Prior to marriage, she served a Stake Mission. After their retirement, she and Cline served four missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They served a Genealogy Mission in Harrisburg Pennsylvania, two Temple Missions in the St. George Temple and as the East Stake Employment Specialists. She spent many happy times traveling around the USA and throughout the world with Cline. Her favorite place to visit was the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. She loved her family and the gospel of Jesus Christ and wanted to be honest and always do what was right. Wherever she was it was her desire to give service to others. Norma was truly an elect daughter of God, a beautiful and choice spirit who was deeply loved and will be dearly missed by all. Norma is survived by her husband, Cline Durfey; her daughter, Carol Durfey Bracken (Stanford A.); grandchildren: Richard (Aileen) Bracken, Bethany (Blair) Williams, S.
