By Paul Rolly, The Salt Lake Tribune. When the Republican-dominated Legislature passed the largest tax increase in Utah's history in 1987, one of its most-respected veterans, Sen. Kay Cornaby, R-Salt Lake, stood on the floor and warned lawmakers they would pay the price if they messed with the income tax. They did and they paid, said Sen. Lyle Hillyard, R-Logan, remembering the wisdom and forcefulness of Cornaby, who died Monday at age 77 after a long illness. In fact, Hillyard recalled, raising the income tax that year nearly cost Republican Gov. Norm Bangerter his re-election in 1988. It was one of many examples of Cornaby's insight and political acumen, according to former colleagues, including Bangerter, who almost became a rival of Cornaby in 1984. "Kay was majority leader of the Senate when I was speaker of the House," said Bangerter, who parlayed his position into a successful run for governor. "We worked well together and were able to accomplish some things between the Senate and House. He had a keen mind." But Cornaby was preparing to run against Bangerter for the GOP gubernatorial nod and, at one point, was considered the front-runner before he bowed out. "We always were friends," Bangerter said. Cornaby, a patent and intellectual-property attorney who studied at the University of Heidelberg in Germany and earned a law degree from Harvard, was a longtime associate attorney for the law firm of Jones Waldo Holbrook & McDonough. After holding several positions in the Utah Republican Party, he was appointed by Democratic Gov. Scott Matheson in 1977 to fill the vacant seat in Senate District 7, covering Salt Lake County's east bench. He won election to that seat in 1978 and remained in the Senate until his retirement in 1990. He was majority leader in 1983-84. "Kay was strong on conservative principles," former Sen. Richard Carling said, "but he wasn't an ideologue." Carling said Cornaby would listen to all sides and counted good friends among Senate Democrats. "My first year in the House, in 1987, I had sponsored one bill and I wanted it so badly to pass," said Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem, who after 10 years in the House became a senator and rose to Senate president. "On the last day of the session, my bill was on the board in the Senate, and I watched as other bills kept getting pushed ahead of it. I was afraid the session would end and my one bill wouldn't even get a vote." So he turned to Cornaby, who moved to push Valentine's bill to the front and got it passed. "This is the first of many," Valentine remembered Cornaby telling him in encouragement. "Have a great legislative career." The bill in question: "Probate law amendments." Besides his business expertise, Cornaby took interest in laws intended to help troubled youths. He served at the Center for the Study of Youth Policy at the University of Michigan. He was honored as "legislator of the year" in 1980 by the Utah Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers for "consistently being at the forefront of social issues." A critic of the Utah Department of Corrections for locking up former inmates for minor parole violations, Cornaby nonetheless pushed for prison expansion. He also was a strong supporter of law enforcement and a member of the Honorary Colonels Association of the Utah Highway Patrol. Cornaby and his wife, Linda, have five children.

BYU BS Mathematics 1957. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Robert William Edwards, 1937-2023. Robert W. Edwards "Bob" passed away on May 2, 2023, in Salt Lake City after a courageous battle with acute myeloid leukemia. Bob was born May 14, 1937, in New York City to Catherine Eyring and William Foster Edwards. He was the third of six children. As a young man, he moved with his family to Provo, Utah, where he attended Brigham Young University High School, graduating in the Class of 1954. In August 1957, he graduated from Brigham Young University and, the following month, he left to serve in the East German Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. After his mission, Bob attended Harvard Law School. When he graduated in 1964, he took his first position in Salt Lake City with Fabian & Clendenin for whom he had clerked the previous summer. That was the beginning of a satisfying legal career. Following his years at Fabian & Clendenin, Bob joined a small firm that would ultimately come to be known as Fox, Edwards, Gardiner & Brown until ending his career at Kirton & McConkie. During his summer clerkship with Fabian & Clendenin, Bob went on his first date with Judy Fetzer. Bob had met Judy seven years earlier when Richard Fetzer, Judy's brother and Bob's companion at the Mission Training Center, invited Bob to the Fetzer home for dinner. Bob's closeness to the Fetzer family grew during his mission as Bob served as second counselor to Judy's father, Percy K. Fetzer, President of the East German Mission. Bob and Judy dated through that summer of 1964 and, when Bob returned to Harvard Law School, Judy sent him the linden blossoms they had gathered together. Their regard for each other blossomed into love and they were married in 1965 in the Salt Lake Temple. They became the parents of six children. Bob lived his life–to borrow words from Tennyson's "Ulysses"–"strong in will" and with "heroic heart." He earned a living for his family, carried children and grandchildren through challenges, and collected Utah art, all with unflinching determination and an abiding appreciation of beauty. A runner all his life, Bob began racing in his later decades. He has been a fervent supporter of the HighFives 5K–the course passes his house–and currently holds the records for the 70-79 Male (28:17) and 80+ Male (34:07) categories. Bob had enormous energy for doing what he knew to be right. Bob and Judy were united in their love of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Service in the church brought them together and continued throughout their lives. Bob served as a bishop and a stake president. One of his sweetest callings was as president of the Primary Children's Medical Center Branch in the original "Pennies-by-the-Inch" facility on 11th Avenue. Their church service only increased following Bob's retirement: they served a humanitarian service mission to Romania and later as first counselor to the president and assistant to the matron in the Salt Lake Temple. Bob and Judy built a loving family. Bob is survived by his wife Judy, his children Catherine, Robert (Jen), Christine (Keith), Stephen (Mary), Rebecca, and John (Lori), and twelve grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings Caroline Clive, Midge Evans (Kirk), Catherine Poelman Weight (Harold), and Sylvia Edwards. Bob is preceded in death by his brothers Weston (Jaroldeen) and Bill (Kathy), his brothers-in-law Clifford Clive and Lloyd Poelman, and his grandson Torsten Nielsen. The funeral service will be held at 12 noon on Saturday, May 13, 2023, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Hilltop Ward Chapel at 589 East 18th Avenue in Salt Lake City. To watch the services live and view the recording, please refer to Larkin Mortuary's website.

Class of 1954. Dixie Ann Gehring. Student Body Cheerleader, Assistant Librarian, Chorus Social Chair, Soph Cheerleader, Fauvines, French Club, Short Plays, Thespians. BYU 1958. Married Charles B. Edwards. Her parents: Paul Hermann Gehring and Belva Erikson Gehring. They had four children: Jay Earl (Yvonne) Gehring, Dixie Ann Gehring [BYH Class of 1954] (Charles) Edwards, both of Orem; Gloria Deane Gehring (Charles) Moake, and Dana Kaye Gehring [BYH Class of 1960- Honorary] (Daniel) Openshaw, both of Provo. @1996 @2005 @2010 ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Dixie Ann Gehring Edwards. Our beautiful, wise, devoted and loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and dear friend, peacefully returned to her Heavenly Parents and Savior on the afternoon of July 9, 2020. She was surrounded in love by her five living children, Douglas, Lauren, Jeffrey, Lisa and David Brooks. She was joyfully reunited with Charlie, her sweetheart of 55 years, and her baby boy, Gregory Charles, who passed away during childbirth. What a sweet and tender mercy it is for those she has left behind to know that she faithfully endured to the end, and is now wrapped in the arms of those she loved and dearly missed. Dixie was born on May 22, 1936 to Paul Hermann and Belva Erickson Gehring, in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was a long-awaited blessing for her parents, being born twelve years after the birth of her brother, Jay, who she lovingly called “Bubby”, and nine years after her sister, Gloria, who she often called “Glory”. Jay, who had hoped for a baby brother, exclaimed upon meeting her, “Gee, did you have to take the first one they showed you?!” Dixie spent her childhood years in the Sugar House district of Salt Lake City. She was adored by everyone in the family, especially her dear father. Her Grandmother Erickson once asked her son-in-law, “What are you going to do, Paul, when she asks for the moon?” Her doting daddy replied, “Try to get it for her, I guess.” Five and a half years after her birth, her parents gave her a baby sister, Dana Kaye. Dixie denied ever being told that she would have a new sibling. So she did what any self-respecting little 5-year old would do - she packed some clothes in a brown paper bag and announced to the family she was leaving. On December 7, 1941, Dixie’s world changed forever. With the advent of World War II, her brother Jay would enlist into the military a year later. She recalled a vivid memory of her mother fainting dead after walking through the front door of their home, having taken their only son to Fort Douglas, where he was loaded onto trucks with other 18 and 19 year old boys and driven away. At such a tender age, she began to take upon herself the worry and care of those around her. The war years were very defining for her, and for who she would become. The summer after her fifth grade year, Dixie and her family moved forty-five miles south to the sleepy little college town of Provo. She went, as she described it, “kicking and screaming”. Life was very different in Provo, but in the seventh grade, she found her niche at BY High. There she made lifelong friends in the Sub Deb Club, sang “C’est Si Bon” to rapturous applause, and broke many a boy’s heart with her beauty and confidence. She was also a cheerleader with her best friends Gloria Unger Oaks and Carmen Brandley Hamilton, and gleefully recalled how she could do the splits, though not the Chinese kind. She absolutely loved her years at BY High, and described them as a “singularly, wonderful time.” Dixie graduated in the BYH Class of 1954. After high school, Dixie transitioned to Brigham Young University and enrolled in the School of Nursing. She had a plan for her life, and expected it to go in a well-ordered way. What she did not expect was to meet a young man from New York. She was introduced to him by his step-brother, who worked at the same hospital as Dixie. Charlie was different from anyone she had ever known or dated, and had a line that was well practiced (which she claims to have spotted right away). He was five and a half years older than she, a fact that did not escape her worried mother, who said: “That’s not a boy, that’s a man!” Though she tried to remain aloof, Dixie was attracted to his charm, sophistication and good looks. She told her friends that she would go with him until he really liked her, and then drop him. She never did. Dixie and Charlie were married on July 13, in Provo, and thus began the phase of her life that was most important to her. The young couple soon welcomed their first son, Douglas Bruce. They were delighted with him! As with most young couples, they were poor in those days, but they had their baby and each other. Dixie’s intent to return back to school was dashed after seeing her doctor for feeling “wasted”. A phone call the next day brought the news that a new baby would be joining the family ten months after the first. Randi Lauren was on her way. Along with her impending birth came one of the most treasured experiences of Dixie’s life. A month before Laurie was born, Dixie, Charlie and baby Douglas were sealed as an eternal family in the Salt Lake Temple. This new baby would be born under the new and everlasting covenant. Dixie felt at peace with her Heavenly Father. This peace would carry her through one of the hardest experiences of her young life. Christmas night of 1959 found Dixie overcome with a feeling of sadness, and she began to cry uncontrollably. She had the distinct feeling that she was mourning, but for what? The following January, she delivered a beautiful baby boy, Gregory Charles. He never took a breath, having returned to his Heavenly Father sometime during the birthing process. Unable to find lasting comfort, Dixie turned to her Savior. She gratefully acknowledged in later years that this is where her real testimony of His gospel began. The death of her baby son taught her not just sympathy, but true empathy for others. In time, Dixie saw this sacred experience as a tender teaching moment from her Heavenly Father and His Son. She expressed that when she left this earth, that precious spirit would be the one she would be most anxious to see. We rejoice that she has now met the son she longed to hold, and can only begin to imagine her indescribable joy! Jeffrey Scott joined the family 15 months later, in April 1961. His birth was an act of mercy from Father in Heaven. From the moment she found out she was pregnant, Dixie prayed that the Lord would help her and that the labor and delivery would not be as difficult as the previous ones had been. The Lord heard and answered her prayer. Of her six deliveries, Jeffrey’s was the easiest despite weighing in at a whopping 10 lbs., 5 oz. and 23 ˝ inches long! In the summer of 1963, and one day after Charlie’s birthday, Lisa Pauline was born. At 6 weeks old, Dixie took Lisa for a routine checkup, and while dressing her after the doctor’s examination, the entire office staff came into the room. One of the assistants exclaimed, “Dr. Smith said if we wanted to see an extraordinarily pretty baby, to come and see your baby girl.” Dixie and Charlie created beautiful babies, and everyone knew it. May of 1967, exactly one week after Dixie’s thirty-first birthday, David Brooks, the baby of the bunch, joined the family. His labor was the longest and most strenuous, and Dixie was told by her doctor that he would be the last baby, and he was. Dixie and Charlie’s family was complete with four precious sons and two darling daughters. A year after David’s birth, Charlie and Dixie bought a home in Orem, Utah, where they lived happily for fifty-plus years. They moved to the neighborhood on the suggestion of dear friends Sidney and Joy Gilbert. Sid and Joy were their next door neighbors in their previous home, and had gently and lovingly nurtured them in the gospel. Their influence on the young couple, and the enduring friendship they shared, would help lay the foundation on which Dixie and Charlie would build their family. Dixie worked diligently to create a lovely home environment for her husband and children, and it was a haven where they made many precious memories. Both she and Charlie were big on traditions. She always subscribed to the old axiom, “If you make a child happy once, you make him happy many times hence, by the memory of it.” Chief among these happy memories were the magical, “over the top” Christmas Eve gatherings! They are the stuff of legend in both the immediate and extended families. Wonderful experiences also include family cookouts, summer trips to the beach house on Balboa Island, picnics and fishing at Tibble Fork, Easter Egg hunts, personalized chocolate Valentine hearts, chili on Halloween (with Dixie as the Wicked Witch and Lauren in the role of Igor), playing Ghost in the Dark, attending Doug’s school plays, Lauren and Lisa’s recitals, Jeff’s basketball games and Dave’s band concerts. In short, her family has been the focus and the greatest joy of her life! If Dixie thought life was good, it was nothing compared to the joy she felt as beloved in-law children joined the family through marriage. Then the grandchildren arrived, starting with Brian Richard Waite in 1981. Nineteen grandchildren followed, culminating with Charles Brooks Edwards in 2015. Brian, Michael, Ashlee, Whitney, Courtney, Gregory, Alex, Jared, Erica, Jordan, Kristopher, Rachel, Rebecca, Shawn, Corey, Marin, Scott, Brett, Bradley and Charlie are the crowning jewels of her life, and she relished each one as they were born. She fully expected to love her grandchildren, but what she didn’t know, until she laid eyes on baby Brian, was that the love she felt was the very same love she had for each of her children. She loved each of them “best” and up until a few months ago, would still get down on her hands and knees to play cars with the youngest grandbaby (who was born shortly before her 80th birthday), and dutifully made Mac and Cheese when requested, which was often. Dixie absolutely adored being Grandma/Mimi! Above all, Dixie cherished the gospel of Jesus Christ and her membership in His church. She loved her Heavenly Father and His Son with her whole heart and soul. She and Charlie faithfully served in many church callings throughout their years together, and particularly held sacred the nine years they served as ordinance workers in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. She loved being a temple worker, and tasted such great spiritual joy. She described it as the highlight of her church service. After Charlie’s death in 2011, her dear friend from high school, Carmen Hamilton, taught Dixie the ins and outs of family history work. She spent countless hours at the computer, preparing and submitting names for temple work so individuals can progress in the next life, and families can be sealed together forever. Dixie submitted tens of thousands of names for temple work, and there is no doubt in her family’s mind that she is being sought out and thanked for her dedicated service to those beyond the veil. Dixie was a gifted writer, and has left her family with words she wrote in poetic, short story, and life history form, often imparting sage advice and wise counsel with humor and good will. Her last words of wisdom to her precious ones are these: “Life is hard, it was never meant to be easy. Easy would teach no lessons and provide no tests. Each of you will have rough spots. Endure them, learn from them, and overcome them. Don’t let them defeat you. My prayer for each of you is that you can endure the hard tests and find much joy along the way. Know that I love you. I am so grateful to have been your mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.” Dixie leaves to carry on her legacy of love and devoted service, her children Douglas and Lori Edwards, Lauren and Brian Waite, Jeffrey and Kathy Edwards, Lisa and Robert Carlson, and David and Sheri-Ann Edwards; 20 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren; her sister Dana Kaye Gehring Hayward, and many nieces and nephews she loved and cherished. In tender and symbolic mercy, Dixie will be united in mortality once again with her beloved Charlie. She will be laid to rest next to him, and their baby son, in the Provo City Cemetery on Monday, July 13, 2020. It will be their 64th wedding anniversary. Per Dixie’s request, private funeral services will be held in the care of Walker Sanderson Funeral Home. We love you Mom, and are thrilled you are reunited with Dad, Gregory Charles, your dear mother and daddy, big brother and sister, and many other family members! Your faithful example as a deeply devoted wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend will guide our lives until we meet again. Source ~ ~ ~ ~ HER HUSBAND' OBITUARY: Our precious husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Charles "Charlie" Edwards left us on the morning of February 17, 2011, after a decades long struggle with the ravages of diabetes, heart disease and kidney failure. The final months of his life were particularly trying but he bore those trials with faith and forbearance. His example of true bravery will bless his posterity forever. He is now with family and friends who preceded him in death, including an infant son, his birth mother, who passed away when he was three weeks old, many beloved family members and friends, and hosts of direct line ancestors for whom Charlie provided the saving ordinances of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We know his was a joyous welcome home. Charlie was born on August 14, 1931, in Staten Island, New York, the only child of Ben and Randi Olsen Edwards. Upon the death of his young mother, Charlie was taken into the home of his maternal grandparents, Gustav and Paulina Olsen, (Mom and Pop) where he was loved and nurtured by numerous Tantes and Oncles, (aunts and uncles) in a loving and close knit Norwegian society. His was a happy childhood. The Korean War was the impetus of Charlie's enlistment in the Unites States Air Force after his high school graduation. He fully expected to serve in Korea but was sent to Germany for four years instead. He loved the experience. From his stepbrother, Charlie heard good things about a school in the West (Brigham Young University). He journeyed to Provo, Utah, where he enrolled at BYU and graduated with a major in accounting. It was in Provo that Charlie's life changed forever. He met a young LDS girl, Dixie Ann Gehring, whom he wooed and wed. He was drawn to her faith, explaining that the Church answered many questions for which other religions had provided no satisfactory answers. He felt, as he expressed it that he had "come home." He joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and embraced it with his whole heart. His marriage to Dixie was sealed in the Salt Lake Temple shortly before the birth of their second child in 1957. From that day and for the rest of his life, Charles Edwards was a devoted member of his church, serving in numerous leadership positions, (including the office of bishop) and gently loving less active members into full activity. Charlie and Dixie particularly loved their nine years of service as ordinance workers in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. They described those years as a pure gift from the Lord and only left that service when Charlie suffered a second heart attack. Charlie was employed for many years at Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe Company in the sales and procurement departments. He enjoyed his many associations there but he always considered his work as simply a means to support his family. His Church and his family were his life. He was preceded in death by his parents, his grandparents, an infant son, Gregory Charles Edwards and many other family members from his birth family and from the Gehring in-law family who made Charlie their own. He is survived by his wife, his children, Douglas Bruce Edwards (Lori Elison), Lauren Edwards Waite (Brian), Jeffrey Scott Edwards, (Kathy Goedde), Lisa Edwards Carlson (Rob), and David Brooks Edwards (Sheri Ann Soong). He leaves his eighteen adored grandchildren and a nineteenth grandson who will join the family on March 1st and four great-grandchildren. Special thanks to Charlie's Hearts for Hospice caregivers, Ryan, Megan and Brittany. You made a hard time easier. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, February 22, 2011, in the Orem Sharon 3rd Ward Chapel, 430 South 700 East, Orem. Friends are welcome to visit with the family Monday evening, February 21st, from 6-8 p.m. at the Walker Sanderson Funeral Home, 646 East 800 North, Orem and Tuesday morning from 9:45-10:45 a.m. prior to the services at the church.

Band, Debate, Short Plays, Childrens Theater. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Rulon Alvin Graham passed away on December 18, 2016 due to complications from his 25 year battle with Parkinsons disease. Rulon was born in American Fork on December 9, 1935 to Alvin and Laprele Graham. He grew up in Wallsburg and Provo, graduating from B.Y. High School in the Class of 1954. He served honorably in the U.S. Army as a Nike Radar Operator in Seattle from 1954 to 1956. On August 24, 1956, he married his high school sweetheart, Alice Thomsen in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Rulon worked at the Provo Post Office for 37 years as a Mail Carrier and later managing the postal fleet. Rulon will be remembered as a life long learner; from making his own telescope and his passion for learning about the universe, to building his own kayak, spending 2,000 hours building a model ship, making beautiful stained glass windows for his home, his adventures in mountain climbing and his passion for photography. He also loved sitting with friends and family playing games or figuring out a complex puzzle. Rulon lived a life of service. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints serving in several ward and stake callings. Early mornings would find him painting over graffiti on the high school wall, mowing a lawn for a sick neighbor, or fixing a sink at the church he noticed was leaking. No one ever knew who had done the work because for Rulon it was about service, not the recognition. To Rulon, a stranger was just a friend he had never met. To those who knew this gentle giant, he was the best husband, father and friend you could ever want and we were fortunate enough to have. He is survived by his wife Alice, sisters Delores and Nelda (Dale) and brother Riley, children Raymond, Karl (Tracy), Bryan (Carolyn) and JennyLind (David), 16 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents. Funeral services will be held on December 23, 2016 at 11 a.m. at the Hobble Creek Stake Center, 555 South Averett Avenue, Springville, Utah. A viewing for friends and family will be held Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Wheeler Mortuary, 200 South 200 East, Springville, Utah. Interment, Evergreen Cemetery, Springville, Utah.
