Wootton, who served as President of the Church College of Hawaii, now BYU Hawaii.] ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Richard Roland Wootton was born in Washington, D.C. on June 30, 1931 to Roland H. and Ouida Idelia (Pelton) Wootton. He was the youngest of three children, having two sisters, Helen Wootton and Gloria Speikerman. His parents were noble people who emphasized being honest and learned. He married his Babe Shirley Ann (Potter) Wootton on May 25, 1956 in the Manti LDS Temple. Together they had seven children: Shari Muncy (Pat); Mark Wootton (Melissa); Wade Wootton (Beverly); Julie Newsome Rasmussen (Shon); Greg Wootton; Jason Wootton (Robyn) and Jennifer Wootton. He also had 26 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. Richard died on Sunday, December 7, 2014. Richard attended the public schools in Washington D.C. where he was a member of a championship football team at Central High School. Team members and others became forever friends even with the passing of years. He attended University of Maryland for almost two years prior to moving to Provo where he graduated from BYU with B.S. and M.S. degrees before moving to Utah State University with his family of four and obtained a doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology. Richard Wootton was a faculty member at Brigham Young High School in Provo during the 1960's, with a special focus on Counseling & Guidance. Richard was employed at Murray High School for five years prior to taking employment at Brigham Young University where he taught in the graduate education program for 32 years. He ultimately retired from his work at BYU and became a Forensic Psychologist; working with many disadvantaged persons throughout Utah until the time of his death.

Richard loved the gospel and, at one time or another, served in Stake High Councils, was an LDS Bishop in the BYU 23rd Ward, and served as a teacher in almost all activities ranging from primary to adults. He and his wife were loyal home teachers and with his wifes nudging, sang in the ward choir, an activity he richly enjoyedShirley was right again! Richard was a good and loyal husband and father. He was proud of his children and especially glad that he accepted his mothers admonition to marry a good Mormon girl. He never regretted his mothers advice as finding Shirley was the best earthly discovery that he made. He remained a faithful friend to all.

His parents: Arland LeRoy "Hap" Workman, born April 9, 1916 in Roosevelt, Utah, married Ruby Hill Workman on November 12, 1936, and died September 23, 2004 in Provo, Utah.

Workman [BYH Class of 1961] (Chris) of Murray, Utah; and Lance Workman (Andrea) of Provo, Utah. ~ ~ ~ ~ Hello Classmates of 1958! Sorry I can’t be with you tonight, but here is an update of what has been going on in my life since graduation from BY High. I joined the Navy in 1960, and was stationed at Pearl Harbor. While there I met a 5’2” blue-eyed alpha-female in Honolulu, named Margaret Richey, and we married in 1962, and have two daughters and six “butt-heads” (what I call my grandchildren — five boys and one girl). I’m too young to be a grandfather! Margaret’s family moved from Oregon back to Ogden where they had originally lived while we were in Hawaii, so with her parents in Ogden, and mine in Provo, we split the difference and settled in Salt Lake City, where we lived until 1985. Margaret became involved with an international cultural exchange program, and they offered her a position as director of development on the condition that she move to Atlanta, Georgia where their home office was located. So, for about six months she lived in Georgia and commuted back to Utah, while I stayed home until our youngest daughter graduated high school. We then rented the upstairs of our Salt Lake home, while our daughter lived in the basement and went to the U of U., (traitor!) and I sold my burglar alarm business and made the trek to Georgia to be with my wife. Once settled in Georgia I opened another alarm business and worked at it until my health wouldn’t allow me to continue. I didn’t know how long we would be here in Georgia, but after 32 years, I tell everyone that “I’m just passing through!” After three years as a director for the travel company, Margaret decided to go into business for herself. She had contacts throughout the world, so everything fell into place easily for her. She has always worked out of our home, and with the internet and an 800 number, she keeps things running along. Due to Margaret’s involvement in the travel industry, we both have had the opportunity to travel the world pretty extensively. I have visited almost every country I ever wanted to see, some such as Egypt, Israel, Greece, Germany, Italy, and China as many as four times. Margaret has been to about 100 countries and on all continents, while I have been to about 65 countries and all continents except for Antarctica. While Margaret has been to all 50 states, I have been to 48 of the 50 states, (or 57 states according to Obama). Some of our travels have been quite exotic adventures, like trips tromping through the Yucatan to explore Mayan and Book of Mormon sights; hunting for Birds of Paradise in the high-lands of New Guinea; sailing down the Nile (twice!); exploring the Potala Palace in Tibet; hot-air ballooning over the Serengeti, traveling the “Road to Mandalay” (actually, it’s the river Irrawaddi in Burma), joining a “stare-down” contest with North Korean guards at the DMZ, and staying at the Mount Kenya Safari club. I’ve also encountered the KGB in Russia where Margaret was strip searched (awful experience!). While we lived in Salt Lake City my wife became acquainted with Annette James, the wife of Paul James, the KSL “voice of the BYU Cougars.” We became good friends with them, and besides traveling all over the world together, I got to keep stats for some of the games, in Provo, Hawaii, South Carolina, San Diego, etc. That was a real fun experience. Health wise, I have had testicular cancer, twice! The incidences were unrelated, which is quite unusual, and I got written up in the American Medical Journal. After each occasions, I was treated with high-intensity radiation which apparently saved my life, but after 50 years I’m paying with extensive damage done to my thorax, kidneys, bladder, and intestines. The symptoms began getting quite bad about six years ago, and my neurologist thought I might have ALS, then Parkinson’s, then MSA (Multiple System Atrophy) (yeah I’d never heard of it either.) He is now convinced that all my problems are from radiation toxicity from the cancer treatments! My traveling days are now over, and I have to shuffle around the house with a walker, and when I do leave the house I have to use a motorized scooter. But, at least I’m still alive, and manage to get in my wife’s way. An omega-male must tread carefully when in the presence of an alpha-female! Margaret is still working booking travel, and occasionally taking upscale groups on tours. I don’t know what I would do without her, and I love her intensely! I tell her that of all the wives I’ve had, she is my favorite! The next trip she has planned is to take a group to Rome for the temple dedication next year. Wish I could go! Meanwhile, I spend most of my time in front of the computer doing a lot of family history. Since 1993 I’ve submitted over 55,000 names to the temple, and my database is pushing 900,000 names. So that pretty much sums it up. I would love to hear from anyone who wants to email me. My address is wssi@bellsouth.net. The wssi stands for Workman Security Services, Inc. in case you are wondering. Best wishes to all! Rell @Sept2018 ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Dan Rell Workman, august 25, 2021. Well, damn it all anyway! If anyone is reading this now, it can only mean that after 50 years or more of beating the odds, the odds finally caught up to me! More on that below. I was born in Price, Utah to humble parents — Arland LeRoy and Ruby Hill Workman — who lived in Wellington, about 10 miles east of Price. In 1945 they decided to move to Provo, which I then thought was the largest city in the world. My parents wanted us children to have the opportunity to get a better education, and so in Provo I was able to distinguish myself by winning a marble championship, breaking my arm, and becoming a crack-shot with a BB gun; all while maintaining a 1.9 gpa through 8th grade! I graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1958. In 1961, while serving in the Navy, I met a 5’ 2” blue-eyed alpha female named Margaret Richey in Hawaii, and we married in 1962. We have from that marriage two beautiful daughters, Susan and Nancy, and between them they had six children (5 boys and 1 girl), who I call “butt-heads” because I never grew old enough to become a grandfather. After rearing our family in Salt Lake City, my wife and I moved to Roswell, Georgia, where we have lived since 1985. During this time, we have been able to travel extensively throughout the world, and I have had the experience to visit some countries as many as four times. In 1967, I had my first occurrence with testicular cancer, and underwent extensive radiation. I was told that if I survived five years, that I had a good chance of beating it. In 1970, I had my second occurrence of the same thing, entirely unrelated to the first occurrence! The doctors were surprised as this is quite rare, and I’m told that I was written up in the American Medical Journal. I had to undergo radiation a second time. In all, I have had to undergo several surgeries for radiation damage to my kidneys, bladder, and intestines, and have had neurological damage such that I no longer could stand or walk unassisted or without a walker or mobility scooter. I also cannot raise my left leg more than 1 inch from the floor and my right leg no more than 2 inches. As my physical condition deteriorated, I decided to write my own obituary to get my side of the story out there. Ever since the beginning of our marriage, my wife and I have had an ongoing debate as to who is the smartest between us, so now on my deathbed, I am able to play my trump card: You were dumb enough to marry me, so I’m the smartest! I have just re-read everything to this point, and I see that I have succumbed to the moral flaw of embellishing one’s accomplishments. So here it is, FULL DISCLOSURE: I didn’t actually win the marble championship, I only won second place. A Memorial Service will be held in Roswell, and the morbidly curious who are persistent enough to find out when and where may attend funeral and graveside services in Utah. Funeral services will be held Saturday, September 4, 2021 at 11 a.m. at Lindquist's Layton Mortuary, 1867 No. Fairfield Rd., Layton, Utah. Friends may visit with family from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. prior to the service. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. Source.

Class of 1960. Steve Worsley. Wrestling, Track, Concert Band, Chorus, Junior Varsity Football, Ski Club, Yld Cat Newspaper, Junior Class Vice President, Seminary Graduate. Married Cheryl. Formerly of Azuza, California, moved back to Provo abt. 2006. Steve Worsley is a professional caterer, and he provided the wonderful catering for the 45th and 50th anniversary reunions of the BYH Class of 1960. He served as a member of the Reunion Committee for both reunions. @2010 ~ ~ ~ ~ CHERYL STARTUP WORSLEY BIO: I was born December 27, 1943. Not long ago I celebrated my 70th birthday with a party given by my children. I brought to Relief Society a timeline in pictures and strung them across the Relief Society room wall in front. - In my early years I was raised in Provo, Utah by the Startup family. My father, Elbert Startup, was eldest son of the famous Startup Candy Manufacturer, Walter Startup, with a factory built in 1886 by the railroad tracks in Provo at 500 South & 100 East from which Walter and his two brothers shipped candy all over the U.S. from “Provo, Utah, The Candy City” as it was known. After World War I, the Great Depression, & World War II the candy business suffered. -After returning from serving a two-year mission for the church in England, which was a great sacrifice for his father, my Dad married Maurine Brown. He started driving the Startup Candy delivery truck all over Utah County to help his father’s candy business. My parents realized Dad could not provide enough money for our large growing family of six children in 1945. Mother started the first social catering company in Utah Valley and charged 25 cents a person. As a child I helped Mother make little fancy cakes to serve to the wedding guests for each catering party. -By the time the ninth child was born into our family, I was eleven years old. We left Provo and moved to Pasadena, California, where the Startup Catering Company thrived by charging $1.25 per person. It was an exciting family business. We made the news when my oldest brother returned from serving a mission in France and twin baby girls were born the same time in 1959, making eleven Startup children in all. -Steve Worsley, my future husband, graduated from Brigham Young High School in 1960 and went to Los Angeles for work. We met at the Los Angeles Stake dance on December 17, 1959. We dated and catered together on Saturdays and fell in love. -Steve left to serve a mission for the Church to the North Central States in October 1961. I waited and kept busy singing in different ward sacrament meetings and performing floor shows at Church stake dances throughout Southern California. I learned to be a wedding florist, and received certification from Casablanca Floral School in Los Angeles, and then I attended BYU for one year. -Steve returned and we went to a semester together at BYU. I performed with 19 other students on a BYU-USO tour with the combined Folk Dancers and the Program Bureau directed by Janie Thompson. -Steve and I were married in the Logan Utah Temple on July 31, 1964. We lived in Arcadia, California. By the time we had two children, a daughter and a son, a tragedy came. My husband accidentally ran over our two-year-old son, Matthew, and he was taken to heaven. Experiencing that sad event has changed our lives for the better. We became stronger in the gospel and in serving better so that we are worthy to be with Matthew again in the celestial kingdom. - We had five more daughters and gained a foster daughter. Steve started his own catering business, “The Bashful Butler” by the time our fourth daughter, Wendy (Smith), who lives in our ward at this time, was born in 1977. -I was performing at a BYU Education Week Program Bureau Reunion Show August 1989 when I fell 16 feet down off the stage into the orchestra pit of the DeJong Concert Hall. Through the faith and prayers of loved ones and friends, I was awakened from a four-day coma. Life seemed to lead me to a stronger desire to be better and to live closer to the Holy Spirit. It was one year and three months later that Steve and I were guided to travel to the country of Romania to adopt two children. We went with four of my siblings and their spouses and there were eleven little Startup babies adopted and brought back to the United States. Steve and I added two sons to our Worsley clan, making ten children in all. - I have been honored to be mother-of-the-bride seven times, all married in the Temple of our Lord. I have 25 darling and fun grandchildren. Another tragedy hit in 2009. Our 4 1/2-year-old grandson, Cooper, was taken to heaven in the same manner that Matthew died. I have another investment in the Celestial Kingdom. -My greatest desire is to be as faithful as my eight pioneer great-grandparents were, who lived true to the gospel of Jesus Christ all their lives. I am thankful that they made it possible for me to have the gospel in my life today. I am greatly blessed! I want to be the best example for my children and grandchildren so they will choose righteously, and that someday we may all “Sit down in Heaven together”, as quoted from my third great-grandmother, Lucy Mack Smith. May I return to the arms of my Heavenly Father and hear him say, “Well done, my good and faithful daughter, welcome Home”. May 2014 Source
