Alternate email: lds@byu.edu ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Obituary for L. Douglas Smoot L. Douglas Smoot, our wonderful father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones on January 13, 2020. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 63 years, Marian Bird Smoot. He is survived by his sister, Beth Johnson, four daughters, Analee (Scott) Folster, LaCinda (John) Lewis, Michelle (Nathan) Hyde, and Mindy (Conor) Robbins, and his 20 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren. Doug’s faith framed his life’s choices and experiences. He was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and loved serving the members in the Oak Hills area as a Bishop and Stake President, and then an Area Seventy in the Fifth Quorum for the Utah South Area. Doug was born in Provo, Utah on July 26, 1934 to Douglas and Jennie Smoot. His parents moved the family to the neighboring town of Springville with his two older sisters, Norma (Bills) and Beth (Johnson). An individual with a keen intellect and wisdom to match, Doug was known for his dedication, determination, and diligence in all endeavors. He met Marian in 3rd grade; they dated while attending Springville High, were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on September 15, 1953, and began their family and pursued their education. Doug earned a degree in Chemical Engineering from BYU while playing tennis and basketball for the “Y.” He continued on to earn a master’s degree and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Washington in 1958 and 1960, respectively. Doug began his Chemical Engineering career at BYU and then moved his family to Redlands, California where he worked for Lockheed Propulsion Company and taught part-time at the California Institute of Technology. The family eventually moved back to Provo, Utah where Doug became the Chairman of the Chemical Engineering Department and then served as the Dean of Engineering and Technology for 17 years prior to his retirement. He also greatly enjoyed teaching religion classes at BYU. Collaboration with stellar students and wonderful colleagues brought Doug great enjoyment. While at BYU, he founded and directed ACERC—one of the world’s largest academic research centers to advance combustion engineering technology. Since 1968, Doug served as Principal Investigator or Project Director on 40 grants and contracts totaling over 20 million dollars from 22 industrial and governmental agencies. He was given the distinguished Homer H. Lowry Award, the International ASME Percy Nichols Award, the Governor’s Medal for Science & Technology, and Distinguished Faculty and Lecturer and the Presidential Award from BYU. Doug was internationally recognized as one of the premier authorities in the field of Combustion Engineering and clean burning fuels. He authored over 200 technical articles and four books on fossil fuels, coal gasification, and clean burning fuels. Doug is a patent holder and co-founded Combustion Resources, a private research and consulting company. He also served an appointed term for US Senate’s office of Technology Assessment. Doug’s community service included a term on the Governor’s Science Advisory Council, many years on Provo City’s Economic Development Board, Provo’s Energy Department Board, Tuacahn’s Board of Directors, and America’s Freedom Festival Advisory Board. He has written or co-authored books on Abraham O. Smoot, the History of BYU Chemical Engineering, and the preservation of the historic BY Academy building titled, The Miracle at Academy Square. In 1995, Doug assumed the leadership of a team of passionate citizens and government officials to preserve the BY Academy—a building that was constructed with the funds of his great-grandfather A.O. Smoot. It is now the Provo City Library at Academy Square. This giant of a father, with Marian at his side, placed their family as their highest priority. He was loved by four-generations of family members. He was known for his faith, enthusiasm, kindness, determination, generosity, humor, love, optimism, and support of their many endeavors. Though he wore many hats, his cowboy hat may have been his favorite. He loved his six horses, his Mapleton farmland, and Olson Ranch rides with his friends and family. Doug taught by word and deed and left a legacy of love and learning for generations to come. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, January 21, 2020 at the Oak Hills Stake Center, 925 East North Temple Drive, Provo, Utah. Friends may visit with the family at the Berg Mortuary of Provo, 185 East Center Street, Monday, January 20 from 6-8:00 p.m. and at the church Tuesday from 9-10:30 a.m. prior to services.

Marian was a faithful member of the LDS church. She served in numerous callings including Relief Society President, Primary chorister and ward photographer. She was a great support to Doug in his many church callings. Marian served as President of BYU Women and on the Provo City Art Board which was responsible for raising funds for the Covey Center for the Arts. Marian loved music and had a beautiful alto voice. She and Doug donated their time, energy and financial resources to various theatre and art foundations, including Tuacahn, the Covey Center and the Springville Art Gallery. Marian also loved sports and cheered for BYU and the Jazz. She enjoyed tennis with friends and played competitively for years. Marian was an excellent homemaker, cook, collector and seamstress. She had a quick wit, a ready smile and a contagious laugh. Marian and Doug traveled the world together, often with family. Her favorite place to be was on row one, the center seat of any activity where her family was involved. Marian is a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She will be greatly missed by her family, now numbering 62, including 20 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. Marian devoted her life to her posterity and her legacy will live on through them.

He attended BYU for one year and then transferred to Stanford. Married Stella Madsen. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Reed Smoot died at home October 8, 2007, in the company of his daughters. He was 88. He is survived by his three daughters, Kathryn Smoot Egan (Wayne), Anita Smoot Hartmann (Dieter) and Marilyn Smoot; his grandchildren, Jason Reed Caldwell (Lisa) and Sherilyn Kathryn Phillips (Trevor) and five great-grandchildren. He was a remarkable, gentle man, self-controlled and goal-oriented, who cherished and adored his wife Stella and loved his daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Until the end of his life, he lived according to his own high principles and values, dignified and concerned for anyone in his presence. He was the retired executive vice president and chief operating officer of U & I Incorporated. Reed was born in Provo, Utah on June 8, 1919 to Harlow E. and Anita Parkinson Smoot, and was the grandson of Senator Reed Smoot of Utah. He married his first, only and great love, Stella Madsen, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple December 28, 1939, then moved to Palo Alto, California, where he received his B.A. from Stanford University in 1940. He began work with the U & I Sugar Company in West Jordan, Utah as a storekeeper in the supply room. After service in the U.S. Navy, he returned to U & I, became an assistant purchasing agent, a cashier and office manager in Chinook, Montana, moved into sales in Spokane and later Seattle, Washington. In 1954 he became assistant sales manager in Salt Lake City, then general sales manager, and joined the executive committee and board of directors as vice president. When U & I Incorporated bought land beside the Columbia and Snake Rivers, he and Stella moved to Richland, Washington, where he was the chief operating officer and managed 100,000 acres of agricultural development. He retired from U & I in 1981, after 42 years of service. Reed served in the U. S. Navy in World War II as a radio technician having trained in radio, radar and long-range navigation. He chose this on enlistment, because he thought it would be more interesting than being an officer. He used his radio and electronic skills the rest of his life. Reed and Stella had an active social life over the years with a wide variety of friends. They enjoyed dancing and playing golf and were members of the High Steppers and Skate Clubs, The Ambassador, Fort Douglas and Salt Lake Country Clubs. After his retirement they crisscrossed the United States by automobile, and went to Southern Africa to spend time and travel with their daughter Anita, who resided in Namibia.

Alma Snow was born December 18, 1926 [?] in St. George, Utah to Karl Nelson Snow, Sr., and Wanda McGregor. Her father died when she was three and left her mother a widow with one daughter and five sons. The Snow family moved to Provo, where Alma attended school at Brigham Young High School, and then Brigham Young University, where she was involved in the symphony, White Key honorary and many leadership positions. She worked summers at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Juan was born March 13, 1922, the third child of Oscar and Mary Whiting. He attended school in Mapleton and Springville before enlisting in the Navy Air Corp in 1934. Three of his best friends were killed during the war. He served on the Air Craft Carrier USS Intrepid as a pilot of the Torpedo Bomber. Alma graduated from BYU as an English major and a music minor and has freely given service in the church and community with her violin. Juan attended the University of Utah on a basketball scholarship and later transferred to BYU where he graduated in education. He taught school in Springville for 23 years and farmed in Mapleton. Service has always been important to the Whitings. Alma has worked in Relief Society, Primary and Young Women in her ward and stake, been involved in political campaigns, DUP Captain and Vice President of the BYU Emeritis Club. Juan coached Little League baseball for 14 years, was scoutmaster and explorer leader for years and served on the Mapleton Planning Commission, in two Bishoprics and on the Mapleton High Council. Both have served missions to Africa for the LDS Church. Juan was first called following the war to serve in South Africa. While he was en route, the engine on the ship went out and he spent a few months in Recife, Brazil, while repairs were made. Later he and Alma served together in the Zimbabwe Mission and then another mission in Capetown, South Africa. Alma and Juan were married September 6, 1949 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They are the parents of seven children: David (deceased), Shelie, Mark, Mary, Kaye, Paul and Brent. They have 63 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. Juan's roots come from the very beginning of Mapleton. His ancestors were among the first pioneers on Union Bench later known as Mapleton. [Springville Herald, July 21, 2005.] ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Alma Snow Whiting, 1926 ~ 2017. Alma Snow Whiting, age 90, passed away peacefully in her hometown of Mapleton, Utah, on May 15, 2017. Born December 18, 1926 in St. George, Utah, she grew up with 5 brothers. Alma was loved dearly and known as the "Princess" of her father Karl Nelson Snow who died when she was just 3; Alma along with her 5 brothers were then raised single-handedly by her widowed mother, Wanda McGregor Snow. His mother raised five sons and one daughter: Tony, Ellsworth, Don [BYH Class of 1938], Shipley [BYH Class of 1939], Alma [BYH Class of 1945], and Karl Jr. [BYH Class of 1949]. The children later started a scholarship fund at BYU in memory of their mother. At age 10, Alma moved with her family to Provo, Utah, where she attended Dixon Junior High, Brigham Young High School graduating in the Class of 1945, and BYU - graduating with a BA in English. At BYU she served as White Key Honorary President, Associated Women's Vice President, and President of Nautilus Social Unit. Alma loved playing the violin in BYU's symphony orchestra. During these busy University years, she waited anxiously for the return of her special missionary, Oscar Juan Whiting, who was serving in South Africa. Alma married Juan Whiting in the Salt Lake Temple on September 6, 1949. From that moment on, her husband, family, and church became her top priority. Juan and Alma worked beside their children on their farm, always teaching and providing a strong gospel foundation. There was always room in her heart for every special grandchild, and at the time of her passing, she was the proud grandma of 63 grandchildren, and 113 great-grandchildren. Service in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints was a joy to her. She served faithfully in ward and stake callings. However, her greatest love was serving with her husband as missionaries in Cape Town, South Africa, and Harare, Zimbabwe. She used her musical talents to direct music and play the violin to promote the work of the Lord. Our dear mother Alma has always treasured her pioneer heritage. She spent long hours writing and compiling her own personal history, and the histories of her mother and grandmother. Just hours before her passing, she left her computer screen on a genealogical indexing record--having indexed over 69,000 records. Imagine her glorious reunion in heaven! Preceding Alma in death are her father and mother, Karl N. and Wanda M. Snow; 4 brothers, Don, Tony, Ellsworth, and Shipley; husband, Juan; sons, David and Mark; 3 grandchildren, Christopher, Julia, and Lynzy Whiting, and one great grandson, Carder Doman.
