He was born October 21, 1904, in a home on the south bank of City Creek in Salt Lake City, to Elias Smith Woodruff and Nellie M. Davis Woodruff. Asahel married Eva Mildred Stock April 14, 1930 in the Salt Lake Temple, and after her death in 1969, he married Dorothy N. Candland on March 13, 1972, also in the Salt Lake Temple. He was educated in the Fremont and Forest Elementary Schools, Granite High School, and the Universities of Utah, Denver, Brigham Young, and received his Ph.D. in 1941 at the University of Chicago.

Never offending, always supporting and giving, Asahel loved people, their hearts and their ideas.

Carolyn Woodruff Sutherland Bearnson, age 77, passed away gracefully on Monday, July 2, 2018, with family by her side. Carolyn was born March 18, 1941 in Chicago, Illinois. She was the second of two children born to Asahel and Eva Woodruff, just 19 months after her sister, Gaile. The sisters were life-long best friends. Carolyn lived in Virginia and New York before coming to Provo, Utah, where she graduated from BY High in the Class of 1959. She also graduated from BYU with a degree in English. Carolyn married Russell Lee Sutherland on September 1, 1961. They built their family home in Alpine where they raised their 9 children. They were devoted to each other and to their family. Following Russ’s death in 1985, Carolyn returned to BYU to obtain a nursing degree. She worked on the oncology floor at LDS Hospital, and eventually earned a Master’s degree and a Doctorate in nursing. She taught nursing at BYU and also on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona. Carolyn was a nurse in one sense or another her entire life. She had a great capacity to love and nurture and genuinely cared for everyone. After almost 20 years alone, Carolyn found love again. She married LeRoy Wood Bearnson in 2005. Together they retired from BYU, traveled the world, and served a mission in Chinle, Arizona. They hosted countless family gatherings for their large family. Carolyn had a great love for the Lord and for His gospel. She lived a truly Christlike life and was a strong example of such Christlike qualities as patience, selflessness, compassion, humility, and charity. She had the ability to make people feel loved and important. Carolyn knew the art of hard work. She and Russ grew 600 spruce trees on their property in Alpine. She would say they weren’t growing trees — they were growing boys. She was accomplished in all homemaking arts, including cooking, baking, sewing, cleaning, and gardening. She had a gift for all things literary. She was an avid reader, and had a way with words. She also loved music, especially classical. She played the piano and the organ, sang beautifully, and enjoyed composing music. She was a thoroughly elegant woman. Carolyn is survived by her husband, LeRoy Bearnson, eight children: Mark (Melody) Sutherland, Barbara (Keith) Paskett, David (Lois) Sutherland, Karen (Rhett) Chamberlain, Jennifer (Carlyle) Ostler, Jeffrey (Emily) Sutherland, Emily (Sean) Flynn, and Justin (Nichole) Sutherland; and four step-children: William (Karyl Lynn) Bearnson, Stephen Bearnson, Ruth Bearnson, and Robert (Kelly) Bearnson.

Clark. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Gaile Woodruff Clark passed away Saturday, February 2, 2008, surrounded by her children and grandchildren, following an eight-year battle with cancer. Gaile was born August 29, 1939 to Asahel and Eva Stock Woodruff in Salt Lake City, Utah. Growing up with her best friend and sister, Carolyn, she loved riding her horse, reading, playing the piano, and going on family trips. Gaile attended Brigham Young High School, graduating in 1957, and Brigham Young University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English along with a secondary teaching certificate. While in school, she met and married DaCosta Cecil Clark of Provo. After graduation Gaile and Cecil moved to Palo Alto, California where Gaile taught high school while Cecil was earning his doctoral degree. Next they moved to Seattle, Washington, where they lived for nine years before moving to Provo, Utah, where they settled permanently. During these years they began their family and, over 15 years, had seven children. Gaile, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, loved and served in every auxiliary at the ward and stake levels. She particularly loved working with the young woman, and did so many times over the course of her life. After rearing their children, Cecil and Gaile served two full-time missions. The first, at the Jerusalem Center in Israel, allowed her to utilize her musical talents in daily organ recitals and, as well, to share her compassionate nature in conducting humanitarian projects in hospitals. The second, to Laos, focused on humanitarian work in English teaching, music keyboarding, working with blind children and being part of the first LDS branch. Additionally, Gaile was instrumental in establishing the first Young Women organization in Laos. During this time in Laos, she witnessed the calling of the first two Lao missionaries and the dedication of the country of Laos for missionary work. The last years of her life, Gaile quietly and willingly dealt with the various stages of cancer. Her faith was exemplified by her determination to serve, to live life to the fullest and to do the will of her Heavenly Father to the end. Her greatest joys were her family and the gospel. Gaile is survived by her husband, Cecil; her sister, Carolyn Sutherland Bearnson of Provo; and six of her children: Stacy Hansen of Boise, Tamara Pinder of Orem, Cheri Kohler of Provo, Brett Clark of Albuquerque, Allyson Thompson of Clearfield and Scott Clark of LondonÑas well as their spouses and 19 grandchildren.
