Lloyd and Nadine Rasmussen

Class of 1941. Lloyd Rasmussen. President of the Senior Class, 1940-1941. Football. Basketball. School Play. Lloyd came to BYH from North Sanpete H.S. ~ ~ ~ ~ Provo Mayor Lewis Billings, in a speech on Friday, 18 January 2008, singled out Lloyd "Ras" and Nadine Rasmussen as an example of Provo's best quality residents. The couple met in 1941 when Lloyd was a basketball player for Brigham Young High and Nadine was a cheerleader for Provo High School. A near collision during a game eventually brought them together. "They said, 'Well, they've got the cutest cheerleaders,' " Lloyd said he was told by his friends. "And she was a cute one." ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS DEATH NOTICE: Lloyd Evan Rasmussen, age 88, of Provo, passed away March 23, 2011. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, April 1, 2011 at the Bonneville 4th Ward Chapel, 1289 East 300 South, Provo. Friends may call at the Berg Mortuary of Provo, 185 East Center, Thursday evening from 6 until 8 and at the church Friday one hour prior to services. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. [Provo Daily Herald, March 27, 2011.] ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Lloyd Evan Rasmussen, 88, passed away peacefully at the home of his son Garth Rasmussen in Henderson, Nevada on March 23, 2011. He was born on March 21, 1923 in Fairview, Utah to Wilford Woodruff Rasmussen and Matilda Winkelmann Rasmussen. After spending his childhood years in Fairview, his family moved to Provo, Utah. He attended Brigham Young High School where he was an outstanding athlete in football, basketball, and baseball, graduating in the Class of 1941. In fact, it was at a BY High vs. Provo High rivalry game where he met his future wife, Nadine Farr. Lloyd was playing basketball for BY High and Nadine was a cheerleader for Provo High. Lloyd was dribbling down the sideline when Nadine accidentally tripped him. As they both tell it, that's where he first fell for her, and they've been in love ever since. They married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on September 23 1943. He served in the Army and was stationed overseas during World War II. He graduated from LDS Business College in Salt Lake City and then worked as an accountant for the U.S. Steel Geneva Plant until his retirement. Always active in the LDS Church, he has served in a variety of positions including being a counselor in two bishoprics. During many years as a scoutmaster and a baseball coach, he was a positive influence in the lives of many young men. Lloyd and his wife Nadine served in the London England South Mission and have also served as temple workers in the Provo LDS Temple. Lloyd and Nadine have four children: Susan Green, Santa Fe, New Mexico; Meridee Williams and husband Lind, Provo, Utah; Garth L. Rasmussen and wife Kathy, Henderson, Nevada; and Shaun F. Rasmussen and wife Susan, Eldorado Hills, California. They have 18 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren. Lloyd is preceded in death by his parents and all of his siblings: Harold, Merlin, Elden, and Leah. He is survived by his wife Nadine. Perhaps his most lasting legacy is his complete selflessness and tender regard for all that knew him. One could not visit their home without Lloyd inviting them to eat, and one could not eat without Lloyd coaxing them to eat more. Neighbors, family, friends, and strangers all benefited from his sharing attitude. He took a personal interest in, and was a friend, to everyone he met. He loved BYU sports, and he loved to fish, boat, hike, and camp. When camping, he took the time to get to know every stranger he met, and he could tell you the name, hometown, and a personal story about everyone in the campground within a couple of hours after setting up camp. His children, grandchildren, and great grand-children will forever remember his tender heart, the smile on his face, and the tears of gratitude in his eyes. Funeral services will be held on Friday, April 1 at 11:00 a.m. at the Bonneville 4th Ward Chapel, 1285 East 300 South, in Provo. Family and friends may call on Thursday evening, March 31 at the Berg Mortuary, 185 East Center Street in Provo or at a viewing at the church one hour prior to the funeral services. Interment will be in the Provo City Cemetery following the services.

For the three and a half years prior to this she had been living under the loving care of her son and daughter-in-law Garth and Kathy Rasmussen in Henderson, Nevada. Nadine was born on November 20, 1923 in Tucson, Arizona to Heber Erastus Farr and Hilda Bluth Farr. She was second-youngest of the twenty-three children of Heber Farr. She had ten brothers and sisters, and, in addition, twelve half-brothers and sisters from Hebers first wife Elizabeth. Of her numerous siblings, she is survived by only two sisters: Yvonne Farr Morgan and Azona Farr Lloyd. She was preceded in death by her parents and her siblings: Halvan, Maybelle, Deral, Winnifred, Josephine, Keith, Ivan, and Lawrence. From Tucson her family moved to Pleasant Grove, Utah and then later to Provo where Nadine lived most of her life. It was at Provo High School as a cheerleader that she met her husband-to-be, Lloyd Rasmussen. As the family story goes, Lloyd, a basketball star for the rival B.Y. High Wildcats, was dribbling near the sideline where Nadine, the P.H.S cheerleader stepped inbounds and accidentally tripped him. As they both tell the story, thats where Lloyd first fell for her, and they were in love ever since. They married in the Salt Lake L.D.S. Temple on September 23, 1943, and after Lloyds military service, they made their home in Provo, living among many of the same neighborhood friends for over 60 years. Lloyd and Nadine are the parents of four children: Susan Green, Santa Fe, New Mexico; Meridee Williams and husband Lind, Provo, Utah; Garth L. Rasmussen and wife Kathy, San Jose, California; and Shaun F. Rasmussen and wife Susan, Eldorado Hills, California. They have 18 grandchildren and 35 great-grandchildren. She was a skilled cook, seamstress, and homemaker. Always caring and capable, she could make curtains for her home or rescue a wedding dress mishap at the last minute. She loved family get-togethers, and reunions. She was an organizer and ensured that gatherings with Farr and Rasmussen cousins and aunts and uncles were happy and memorable. Her home was always the fun place to be at Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the Fourth of July, not only for her children and grandchildren, but usually with many other invitees included as part of the family. Her holiday traditions will be passed on for generations, although her delicious potato salad recipe will never be replicated and will go with her into the next world. What a great Farr Family Reunion that will be. Her life demonstrated that memories and traditions are built from love and togetherness. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She lived a beautiful life. Always active and involved in the LDS church, Nadine faithfully fulfilled numerous ward and stake leadership callings. She and her husband Lloyd served in the London England South Mission and have served as Temple Workers in the Provo LDS Temple. Nadine led an exemplary life, full of kindness, generosity, and service to her family, her neighbors, and her church. She had a knack for making everyone her friend and making friends feel like family. Her family would like to thank the tender kindness and concern provided by the Compassion Care Hospice in Henderson, Nevada and the Maple Creek Hospice in Utah Valley. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, August 22 at the Bonneville 4th Ward Chapel, 1289 East 300 South, Provo, Utah. Friends may call at the church from 10-10:45 a.m. prior to services. Interment, Provo City Cemetery.

Five children, starting to get grandchildren. Memories: The feel and spirt of the campus lingers in my mind more than any specific occasion. The creaking sound of the floors; the smell of the basketball gym in the elementary building; the friendly and accommodating faculty and their constant concern for our well being. All of the above, with the specific memory of "cleaning the Fieldhouse floor" with the Provo High basketball team in the state tournament. It was all great! @2005 ~ ~ ~ ~ Moved from Tustin, California to Farmington, Utah. @2012

Thomas Laine Raty, beloved son, husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and cousin passed away November 28, 2021 in Payson, Utah at Mountain View Hospital from heart and dysphasia pneumonia complications. Born February 5, 1927 in Ogden, Weber, Utah to Charles Leslie Raty and Berniece Shupe Raty, Laine was the second of four brothers. He attended Ogden Utah schools, served in the Navy during World War II and later reserves, earned his undergraduate and Master's degrees at Brigham Young University, and a doctorate from Arizona State University. An inspirational artist, he created many sketches, scenic watercolors, portraitures in a variety of media--especially oil. He created unique pottery and excelled in calligraphy. He was a fashion illustrator and illustrated cover art for the Children's Friend magazine. His professional works won awards, but he reminded all that "art is not a horse race where only one finishes first." Laine was sealed for time and eternity to his high school sweetheart Jennie Clavell Brown on February 13, 1948 in the Salt Lake City Temple. He was an exemplary husband who loved his wife and respected her influence. They celebrated their 71st anniversary in 2019 before Clavell passed. Laine and Clavell loved their two sons and three daughters. As a father, Laine helped his children be better parents and was proud of their careers. Fishing with his brother Larry was also required. Laine loved his extended family. Laine enjoyed sharing his talent as a teacher beginning in Burley Idaho, then Ogden City schools. Next he became an art teacher and publications advisor at Brigham Young High School from 1963 to 1966. He completed his teaching career at BYU in the Art and Design Department. Many of his students thanked him for advice and overcame discouragement and challenges to continue their degrees. Some chose an art career because of his influence. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he exemplified deep commitment and service to others. He freely gave his talents and time illustrating many ward bulletins, posters, class handouts, and decorations for many church activities. His favorite callings included serving in the Burley Idaho bishopric and later with Bishop A. Dean Jeffs. He extended his short genealogy mission call beyond seven years, starting in the BYU genealogy center with his older brother Leslie Shupe Raty. His beautiful calligraphy graced numberless "Hearts of the Children" certificates for Primary children successfully completing tours at the BYU library. He helped many older adults transition to computers for their family records. He also enjoyed "lunch bunch" neighborhood friends. Laine is preceded in death by his parents; wife Jennie Clavell Raty; son Dallas Laine Raty; daughter Lorna Raty Brown; granddaughter Adrian Foutin; many Raty and Shupe aunts and uncle; brothers Leslie Shupe Raty, Lawrence K. Raty and David Ralph Raty. He is survived by Janet Raty, Brenda Beth Miller (Dennis), son William "Bill" Charles Raty,15 grandchildren, many great-grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren.

Class of 1939. Barney Rawlings. Football. French Club. Oratory. Forensics. Boys' Trio. Opera. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: G. Barney Rawlings -- World War II bomber pilot G. Barney Rawlings came to Las Vegas in 1947 to sing -- launching a half-century career as a performer, emcee and executive director of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. It was something of a second life for Rawlings. As an Army Air Corps pilot, he had flown 35 combat missions in B-17 bombers over Europe, logged 282 hours in the air and earned the Distinguished Flying Cross, three battle stars and six air medals. Rawlings, 86, died of melanoma Thursday at his St. George, Utah home. Rawlings, who retired from the Army Air Corps Reserve as a major general, was the convention bureau's assistant manager in the late 1950s when he was asked to show off the town to a Hollywood actor. Rawlings and Ronald Reagan bonded on that trip, and they became lifelong friends. Rawlings was born in Provo, Utah, on April 29, 1922. He came to Southern Nevada on Labor Day 1947 to sing for three nights at the Railroad Pass Casino for $150 -- a far better gig than he'd had at a Utah nightclub, where he earned $5 a night while attending the University of Utah as a law student. The casino crowd included Last Frontier Hotel show producer Hal Braudis, who auditioned Rawlings the next day. Two days later Braudis hired Rawlings, and he never looked back. As a local emcee who could also sing, Rawlings performed a record 3,128 consecutive shows at the old Thunderbird Hotel. Such roles ceased to exist in the modern mega-showroom era. In 1953 Rawlings added to his entertainment resume by becoming the sales and convention director at the Thunderbird. Four years later he was hired as assistant manager of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. He went to the Riviera in 1963 as vice president of sales and in 1968 became executive director of marketing for the Sands. At the same time, he served as national director of the Nevada Hotel Sales Management Association and vice chairman of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce's Aviation Committee. In 1969, Rawlings was appointed executive director of the visitors authority, earning $25,000 a year. Rawlings' wife of 49 years, Hazel, died in 1989 of cancer, and 18 years ago he married Christine Ann "Puff" Russell, who helped him with his production business. In addition to his wife he is survived by his brother, James W. Rawlings [BYH Class of 1947] of Connecticut; daughters, Darlene Richards of Las Vegas, Kathleen Danielson of Snowflake, Ariz., and Nancy Rawlings of Las Vegas; a son, Brent Rawlings of Las Vegas; five stepchildren, Rocky Russell, Christy Pyhtila, Brandon Russell, Angel Lemmon and Polly Falk; and 28 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. A viewing is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. May 16 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Chapel, 3400 W. Charleston Blvd., Las Vegas, Nevada. Funeral services are scheduled for 10 a.m. May 17 in the chapel, with a viewing from 9 to 10 a.m. Burial will be at Bunkers Memory Gardens Cemetery, 7251 W. Lone Mountain Road. Arrangements under the direction of Metcalf Mortuary 435-673-4221. [Provo Daily Herald, May 11, 2008.] ~ ~ ~ ~ His brother, James W. Rawlings, graduated from BYH in 1947.

French Club, Secretary and Treasurer. ~ ~ ~ ~ Her parents are Daniel James and Almeda Greenwell Rawson. Her brother, Daniel Heber Rawson, is a BYH graduate in the Class of 1943. She married Wally Davis. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Dorothy Rawson Davis - 1923 ~ 2011. Our Dear Mother, Grandma "D", Dorothy Rawson Davis, Orem, passed away to the next life on October 31, 2011. Dorothy was born August 13, 1923 in Ogden to Daniel and Almeda Rawson. They moved shortly after to Price, and eventually settled in Provo where she graduated from BY High School in the Class of 1942. Dorothy went on to BYU and then got a job at JC Penny's department store. While working at Penny's, one of Dorothy's assignments was to write letters to any servicemen who had previously worked for their store. One of her fellow employees had a son in the military and she convinced Dorothy that she should also write to her son. So it was then that Dorothy and Wally Davis began corresponding and were eventually married in Santa Monica, California. Dorothy's two children are: Jim (Bev) Davis, Pleasant Grove, Utah, and Gaylene (Dean) Mitchell, Saratoga Springs, Utah. Dorothy was a very family-oriented person. She loved going all out for the holidays, she especially loved it when she was surrounded by all of her loved ones. She took great pride in her home and yard; they were always "kept to the nines." On February 17, 1990, a little over a year after Wally passed on, Dorothy was sealed to him for time and all eternity, in the Provo Utah Temple. Dorothy owned and managed Lindon Storage Units up to the age of 85. Dorothy served diligently in many callings, Cub Scout leader, visiting teacher, and as a welcome greeter. Dorothy was survived by her two children; 7 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and 1 great-great-grandchild. She was greeted with open arms at the veil by the love of her life, Wally, daughter-in-law, Mary, grandson, Jeffrey, grandson-in- law, Kerry, parents, brother Danny, sisters, Nancy and Mary Ellen. We wish to thank the Charleston staff and nurses for all the love and attention shown to Mom, along with the hospice nurses for all of the love compassion during the final stages of her life. She served a steadfast life and will truly be missed. A celebration in honor of her life will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, November 5, 2011 at the Berg Mortuary of Provo, 185 East Center Street. Interment, East Lawn Memorial Hills, Provo. Condolences may be sent to info@bergmortuary.com [Provo Daily Herald, Friday, November 4, 2011]
