BYU BS Elementary Education 1968. Married Charles A. Baird. Her parents: Dr. Oliver R. Smith and Barbara McKay [BYH Class of 1939] Smith. Barbara and Oliver had five daughters and three sons: Barbara Kay Smith [BYH Class of 1961] Rytting (J. Howard Rytting) of Lawrence, Kansas; Olivia Lea Smith [BYH Class of 1963] Baird (Charles A. Baird) of Lehi; Kenneth McKay Smith [BYH Class of 1965] (JoAnne King) of Mesa, Arizona; Ronald McKay Smith [BYH Class of 1967] (Colleen Johnson) of Orem; Rebecca Smith Snyder [BYH Class of 1970] (Richard L. Snyder) of Tillamook, Oregon; Deborah Smith Annis of Provo; Dorothy Smith Gillespie (John K. Gillespie) of Orem; and Richard McKay Smith (Cindy Naylor) of North Salt Lake. @2008 ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Olivia Lea Smith Baird, formerly of Lehi, Utah, peacefully passed away at home with her husband Charles by her side on November 5, 2020. Olivia loved everyone and everyone loved her. She will be dearly missed. On November 27, 1944, Olivia was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado to Oliver and Barbara Smith. She grew up in Provo, Utah, with her loving family and was the second eldest of eight children. She attended BY High School, and during her junior year her father took the family to Hawaii on sabbatical where she attended Kahuku High School. Olivia graduated from BYH in the Class of 1963. Both schools were dear to her heart, and later in life she hosted and planned reunions for both. Throughout her youth she developed a love for several sports and activities including tennis, swimming, volleyball, waterskiing, softball, hula dancing, surfing, and drill team. After high school, she attended BYU and graduated in Elementary Education. She married Charles Baird on November 15, 1968 in the Salt Lake City Temple and then taught second grade for one year. They were blessed with six children, and the importance of family showed through how she loved and cared for her children as a homemaker for many years. Throughout their marriage, they lived in Santa Monica, California for 13 years; Las Vegas, Nevada for 22 years; and then retired to Lehi, Utah to be closer to family. Everywhere Olivia lived, she made friends and considered them friends forever. For both friends and those she hadn’t previously met, she was a wonderful host who always provided a comfortable place to sleep, food to eat, and of course games to play, so much so that her home was nicknamed "The Baird Hotel”. A major part of Olivia's life was dedicated to volunteering and serving others. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she served valiantly in a variety of church callings including president of the Primary, Young Women, and Relief Society. She also sponsored two Vietnamese refugee families, was heavily involved in PTA and Scouting, and aided in political campaigning and numerous medical fund raisers. Her leadership and organization were exceptional. Everything she did was with a cheerful heart, and when she saw a need she would help without waiting to be asked. Olivia had a strong belief and testimony of her Savior, Jesus Christ and wanted to share that testimony with those around her. She always invited neighbors and friends to learn more about Christ, and in January 2008 she and her husband began a 23-month mission in Kiev, Ukraine. In 2010 she learned that her health was beginning to decline. Despite the challenges this brought, she remained thoughtful of others and continued to open her heart and home to all. She was aware of anyone not included and would always find a way to include them. Quietly and without any desire for recognition, she was generous. She lifted and blessed the world by being a part of it and left it better for us all. Olivia was survived by her husband, Charles Avard Baird, and her six children: Jennifer Yeates (Gary) of Pennsylvania, John Baird (Jamie) of Virginia, Michael Baird (Kimberly) of Nevada, Emily Thompson (Chad) of Nevada, Stuart Baird (Katie) of Nevada, and Laura Corbridge (Shaun) of Utah. She was also survived by 34 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren; by sisters Kay Smith Rytting, Becky Smith Snyder, and Debby Smith; and brothers Ken Smith, Ron Smith and Rick Smith. She was preceded in death by her sister, Dorothy Smith Gillespie, and 2 grandchildren. We would like to give a special thanks to all the caregivers who lovingly took care of Olivia during her ten years of health decline from Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2020 10 am at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located at 9681 North 6900 West, Highland, Utah at http://mywebcast.churchofjesuschrist.org/lehiutahcedarhollowstake There will be a Friday night viewing from 6-8 pm and a Saturday morning viewing from 9-9:45 am both at the church. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. We will follow COVID protocol and require masks and social distancing during all these events. Olivia would be pleased if in lieu of flowers, donations were made to Primary Children's Hospital or to any other charity of your choice. Source.

Inspired by how a much-needed scholarship helped make the dream of law school a reality, University of Washington School of Law alumnus Paul G. Van Wagenen '73 made a gift establishing The Paul G. Van Wagenen Endowed Scholarship at the UW School of Law. "One of the oldest existing endowed scholarships at the law school is named for William Wallace Wilshire," said Van Wagenen, retired chairman and CEO of Pogo Producing Company in Houston, Texas. "I received one of those scholarships, and now I can assist a new generation to get a good legal education." Immediately after graduating, Van Wagenen joined the law department of Exxon where his experience in oil and gas exploration included contract and transactional work, joint ventures, litigation, and federal administrative law and governmental relations. He joined Pogo Producing Company five years later to head the legal department and rose to the position of chairman and CEO. Now retired, Van Wagenen credits much of his success to "the good legal education I received at the law school." "For more than 60 years, the Wilshire scholarship helped so many students," he said. "Now I can continue in that tradition." [November 2009] ~ ~ ~ ~ Alternate address: Paul Van Wagenen, PO Box 27984, Houston TX 77227. @2010

Paul was born January 13, 1946 in Provo, Utah, to Dean E. and Belle deJong Van Wagenen, both now deceased. Paul grew up in Provo and attended Brigham Young High School, graduating in the Class of 1963. He participated in a broad variety of activities as all good fellows tend to do. In his case, that included debate, drama, Utah Boys' State, Youth Senate, Model UN, sports editor of the school newspaper, bassoonist for the Utah All-State High School Band, student director of the school's pep band and local radio station reporter. He attended seminary classes for four years. In his senior year, he served as President of the Honor Society and was elected to the office of Student Body Historian. Paul attended Brigham Young University from 1963 to 1970. He participated in various activities and was on the debate team. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, graduating cum laude in 1970. Paul took time off during those undergraduate years to serve in the U.S. Army Reserve, where he was stationed in Fort Polk, Louisiana, and El Paso, Texas. He was honorably discharged upon completion of his military commitment in 1970. Paul also took two years away from his undergraduate studies to serve a full-time religious mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan and was ultimately appointed Assistant to the Mission President. After BYU, Paul attended the University of Washington School of Law in Seattle, on a William Wallace Wilshire Scholarship. He earned his Juris Doctor degree in 1973. In recent years, he served the law school on its Advancement Committee. Following law school, he was admitted to the state bar associations of Washington and Texas.

With the acquisition of Pogo, Paul retired at age 61. Pogo initially established a presence in the Gulf of Mexico. During Pogo's final 16 years, Paul was instrumental in growing Pogo in many onshore basins, including the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin as well as the Gulf of Thailand. Pogo was very active in business and civic matters, and Paul served on the Board of the Executive Committee of the National Petroleum Council, National Ocean Industries Association, Domestic Petroleum Council, US Oil and Gas Association, Houston Roundtable of the Center for Strategic and International Studies and several others. Paul has been a member of the All-American Wildcatters since 2001. Paul's philanthropic causes varied, but notably included his two universities. He was extremely proud of his decade of service on the Board of Directors of the Greater Houston YMCA, including service as its chair for the 2007 year. Paul cared greatly about Pogo, its brilliant and dignified board of directors, its long-time, supportive shareholders including State Farm Insurance, and its loyal and hard-working employees. He took pride in knowing the names of Pogo's employees, and he championed each of them to the board. Paul was close to his large family, including his sister, Julie Aidukaitis of Provo, Utah, and two brothers, Ken Van Wagenen of Los Angeles, California, and Norman Van Wagenen of Mesquite, Nevada, all of whom survive him.

He then served an LDS mission in Florida and Puerto Rico. Brent attended BYU where he met "the love of his life," Margaret Yates. They had a whirlwind courtship and married in the Manti Temple. Soon after he was activated in the Army and sent to Vietnam where he was awarded the distinctive "Soldier of the Month." While there, he was set apart as a special missionary and taught the gospel to many comrades. Returning home to his sweetheart he completed his Bachelor's, Masters, and PhD in Family Science with a minor in Marriage and Family Therapy. He spent several years teaching Seminary, and taught in the Family Science department at BYU. His greatest love was teaching the youth of the Church. His training enabled him to counsel and coach countless people through difficult times. He was never too busy to respond to the needs of others. He served as Bishop twice and as 1st counselor in the Sandy Granite Stake Presidency. Brent was most well-known as a prolific author and renowned speaker. He wrote and published 105 books, over 40 of which were biographies. He enjoyed writing many books with his brother Blaine. The paintings they did together were used as the cover of many of their books. He loved to include others as co-authors, especially his wife Margaret as they laughed, wept and worked together. He spoke nationally to a wide audience and loved meeting people wherever he went, inspiring others to become their best self. A self-proclaimed workaholic, he had an entrepreneurial spirit and started many companies, from bookstores to real estate to movie production. He loved reading biographies of the greats, almost as much as he loved writing them. One of his greatest joys was reading in the quiet pre-dawn hours. As an Eagle Scout himself, he had his own Eagle's Nest with his seven sons. Proud of his service as a veteran, he was a true patriot to his country. He proved to be a die-hard BYU Cougar fan, serving as National Cougar Club President. In recent years, he fought Lewy Body Dementia or as Margaret describes it "our battle with Lewy!" Even amidst this struggle, he continued to lift others with his unpredictable humor. Brent will be greatly missed by his wife Margaret, his 9 children: Jason (Beth), Aaron (Susan), Jeremy (Cheri), Joshua (Elena), Jen (Paul Thatcher), Don (Teresa), Dave (Holly), Jordan (Marianne), and Angela (Joseph Higbee), his 39 grandchildren, and by his car which he endearingly named "The Holy Cow". We express deep gratitude to Brent's caregivers and comrades at the Central Utah VA Home in Payson.
