St. George, Utah- Mary Louese Aguirre passed from this life on February 28, 2026, in St. George, Utah, surrounded by her family. Mary was born on August 10, 1955, in Richfield, Utah, to George and Marjorie Boyter. She is preceded in death by her sister, who passed at birth, Carol Marie, her parents, George and Marjorie Boyter and her brother-in-law, Alma Christensen. She is survived by her husband of 53 years, David L. Aguirre, her siblings, David (Candy), Judy Christensen, her seven children, Teena Aguirre-Jensen (Mari), David Simeon (Aubrey), John (Heather), Nicholas (Andrea), Dary Alford (Rob), Daniel (Jennifer), and Krystal Roskot (Kevin), as well as her 42 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren, and many others who considered her "mom." Mary and her family moved from Richfield to Salt Lake City just before she began elementary school. That move allowed her to eventually meet her sweetheart, David, in debate class at South High School. From that point on, they were inseparable. They married shortly before graduation on May 4, 1973. David always said that Mary saved him and was the one who taught him how to love and how to be loved. They quickly began growing their family and, over the next 9 years, welcomed their seven wonderful children. One thing Mary was known for was her humor. She often joked that once she found out what was causing all those children, she "didn't do that anymore." Even with all those children, she always found a way to make each feel valued and loved. After her youngest child entered elementary school, Mary decided to pursue her own education and graduated top of her class at Salt Lake Community College with her nursing degree. She worked for many years as a nurse in the surgical center before retiring. Mary never failed to recognize how lucky she was to be born into her family. She bragged often about her father, George, who was an incredibly talented and renowned welder. She also adored her mother, Marjorie, who took care of everyone and made the world's best sourdough biscuits. Whether Mary was making a handmade card, her famous meatloaf, or potato salad, she had a unique ability to make all feel loved and important. Everyone knew, including all the neighborhood kids, that there was always room at Mary's table. Throughout her later years, Mary faced many health challenges, but always maintained her dignity and self-control, especially when faced with leaving this life. She was at peace and gracefully went to prepare the way for us, reunite with loved ones passed before, and have potato salad with her mom. Mary requested a celebration of life to be held at a future date. ]]></storytext><image><caption><![CDATA[ Mary Louese Aguirre ]]></caption><height></height><width></width><photo>https://cache.legacy.com/legacy/images/Cobrands/saltlaketribune/Photos/SLT0037428-1_20260314.jpg</photo></image></item><item><title><![CDATA[ Carol Lee Gibson ]]></title><storytext><![CDATA[ Carol Lee Gibson 1946-2026 Carol passed away March 10, 2026, after a full life shared with family and friends. She was born in Bingham City, Utah on December 27, 1946, to Jesse I. Lopez and Mary Skram. She was adopted by Elmer Warren Powell and Gertrude Roberts Powell, who were already grandparents and had raised five children. Over the years, they opened their home and hearts to many foster children, including Carol who clearly stole theirs. Carol graduated from Carbon High School in Price in 1965. And after boldly making the first move to ask Leroy Gibson to dance, they married soon thereafter on August 6, 1967. They were together every day sharing adventures and challenges, through sickness and in health, and through nearly fifty-five years of love and friendship. They loved their simple life and chose each other every day. Leroy passed away on July 9, 2022. She has missed him every day since. Carol worked at the West Jordan School District serving school lunch and then at Becton Dickinson and Merit Medical manufacturing medical supplies. She also sold Tupperware and Home Interiors. She retired after over thirty-five years of service. Carol was kind and loving to everyone throughout her life, in every role she undertook  wife, daughter, sister, aunt, neighbor, classmate, co-worker and friend. She loved sharing her life with everyone and loved spoiling kids, including her numerous nieces and nephews. She was generous, fun-loving, supportive, and accepting of everyone. Remarks made in her high school year books from 1963-1965 consistently recognize that Carol was sweet and kind. No matter what obstacles life threw at her, she remained sweet and kind through all of it. Her loves: Coca-cola original (never diet), bumming with friends, soap operas, Elvis Presley, Luiz Meneghin (an opera singer), bold and fun jewelry, collecting movies, the WWE "Wrastles," ATV adventures, camping, fishing, Wendover, bingo, home interior decorations, angels, windchimes, ceramics, fur-babies (dogs), and the color purple. We will all miss Carol. She is survived by members of her adoptive family, including her niece Charlene Francies and nephew Teddy Effendol; several biological siblings she met later in life: Pat (Roger) Taylor, Phillip Lopez, Cathy L. Farnsworth, and Sherry (Carlos) Chavez; her brother-in-law Larry (Mimi), her cousin-in-law Peggy (Ken) Harrison, and several nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews, including Dianna Gibson, Anna Gibson, Brian (Jillion) Gibson, Sylvia (Ben) Scott, Tracey Francies, Kenny (Katrina) Garcia, Peter J. Nielson, Mia (Jonathan) Berry; several life-long friends and all of her friends at the Wellington Assisted Living. A special thank you to the team at IMC (in the ICU and on the 8th floor/patient tower) who took care of Carol in February, to the caregivers at Aspen Ridge West Transitional Rehab who have taken care of her at different times over this last year and to everyone at the Wellington Assisted Living who cared for and loved Carol for the last three and one-half years. Services will be held on Monday, March 23, 2026, at Memorial Mortuaries and Cemeteries, 6500 S. Redwood Road. Viewing at 12:30 p.m., followed by the service at 2:00 p.m. and the graveside dedication. ]]></storytext><image><caption><![CDATA[ Carol Lee Gibson ]]></caption><height></height><width></width><photo>https://cache.legacy.com/legacy/images/Cobrands/saltlaketribune/Photos/SLT0037439-1_20260317.jpg</photo></image></item><item><title><![CDATA[ Dean Holdaway ]]></title><storytext><![CDATA[ Dean Holdaway 1942-2026 Kearns/Price, UT-Dean William Holdaway, 83, passed away peacefully on March 12, 2026.

She enjoyed her last Banana Creamie and a sip of Coke while watching the final episodes of her favorite crime shows. Her journey to the next realm was filled with tears as she recognized family and friends who had gone before her. There to embrace her was her husband, Clark Sylvester Rushton, and her parents, Alden H. Taylor and Doris Davis Orlando. Sharron was born on her father's birthday in 1939 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The first year of her life, she lived in Mercur, Utah, where her father worked in the mines and her mother stayed home to take care of her. They lived in a house the size of a small two-car garage, made out of old wood, with strands of tar paper hanging from it. Their home had no running water, and they shared an outdoor toilet with three different neighbors. After living in Mercur, they moved to Magna, Tooele and Hunter (West Valley City), Utah. When Sharron was five years old, her younger brother Jed was born. A few years later, she was responsible for tending him while both parents worked. Although her brother was rambunctious, she loved him dearly. In 1958, while attending Cyprus High School, Sharron met her sweetheart, Clark, at a sleigh-riding event. After a few months, Clark asked Sharron to marry him. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on September 5, 1958.  Sharron and Clark built a home in Hunter, Utah, where they lived for sixty years. There they raised their three wonderful children, Shane, Carrie and Darin. Sharron was smart, beautiful and creative. She attributed her beautiful skin to using Estee Lauder products for over sixty years. She was incredible at math and figuring out equations in her head. She loved reading financial magazines and dabbling in the stock market. She liked to knit, sew, decorate, walk barefoot and watch crime shows. Sharron and Clark worked hard throughout their lives to provide a good life for their family. For over thirty years, they worked together running their brick business. Her bookkeeping was impeccable!  In 1987, Sharron started work at Fred A. Moreton & Company. She worked alongside her daughter, Carrie and daughter-in-law, Susan, for many years, retiring after seventeen years as a bond expert. In the later part of their lives, Clark and Sharron were able to reap the rewards of their hard work by traveling to many places around the world. Sharron is survived by her children, Shane (Susan) Rushton, Carrie (Doug) Adams, Darin (Brenda Stoney) Rushton, eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and her brother, Jed Taylor. Thank you to Valencia of Cottonwood Heights and Canyon Hospice for taking such good care of our mother this past year. A viewing will be held on Thursday, March 19th, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The funeral will be held on Friday, March 20th, at 11:00 a.m. with a viewing from 10:00-10:45 a.m. All services will be held at Valley View Memorial Park, 4335 West 4100 South, West Valley City, Utah. Mom, we love you! It is time to take Dad's hand and go "trip the light fantastic". ]]></storytext><image><caption><![CDATA[ Sharron Taylor Rushton ]]></caption><height></height><width></width><photo>https://cache.legacy.com/legacy/images/Cobrands/saltlaketribune/Photos/SLT0037399-1_20260313.jpg</photo></image></item><item><title><![CDATA[ Michael Thompson ]]></title><storytext><![CDATA[ Michael R. Thompson, D.C. 1941 - 2026 Centerville, UT-Michael "Mike" Thompson, D.C., was born in Ogden, Utah, to Grace and Ralph Thompson. He was preceded in death by his sisters, Lavern and Marva. He married Judy (Swanson) Thompson, and for 49 years she was his loving wife, companion, and best friend. In later years, she also became his devoted caregiver as he navigated Parkinson's disease. Mike attended Weber High School and later completed his pre-chiropractic studies at Weber State College. He went on to graduate from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree. Mike found great purpose in his work as a chiropractor and spent decades helping hundreds of patients overcome pain and live healthier lives. Many traveled for hours to receive treatment from him. He began his practice in a small office in Bountiful, Utah, and later opened his own clinic at 143 East 400 North, where he continued caring for patients well into his seventies. Even after retiring, he often spoke about how much he missed his work and the people he helped. Those who knew Mike often appreciated his steady nature, quiet confidence, and easy sense of humor. Outside of his practice, Mike was an avid handball player for more than 30 years. He and his "handball buddies" played three to four times a week at the Deseret Gym, and he was heartbroken when the gym closed its doors in 1997. Mike and Judy shared an active and joyful life together. They enjoyed many years of golfing and skiing, and Mike proudly taught all four of his children to ski. They loved watching sports together, especially cheering for the Utah Utes and tailgating with family. Traveling together was another shared joy, with favorite destinations including Coronado and San Francisco. In addition to his loving wife Judy, Mike is survived by his four children: Molly McCrosson (Paul), Clark Thompson, Debi Thompson (Mike Smith), and Brad Thompson. He is also survived by thirteen grandchildren: Amber Pratt, Eric Pratt, Patrick Quail, Kyle Campbell, Shaleece Farley (Skyler), Kolton Thompson, Kyley Thompson, Sterling Smith (Deanna), Britney Wright (Kevin), Brandi Beatty, Trenton Beatty (Nicole Bona), Betsi Wortmann (Brandon), and Michael Thompson. Mike and Judy were also blessed with twenty-three great-grandchildren, including baby Jaxon and baby Garrett, who preceded him in death. Mike was a familiar and friendly presence in his community. For decades he met friends for coffee most mornings, enjoyed meals at local restaurants, and shopped at neighborhood stores. He was recognized almost everywhere he went and built lasting friendships throughout the community he loved. His absence will be deeply felt by his family, friends, patients, and neighbors. His steady presence, humor, and kindness will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Please join us for a Celebration of Life at Joy Luck Restaurant, 566 West 1350 South (East entrance), Bountiful, Utah, on March 25 from 4:007:00 p.m. Funeral Directors: Russon Mortuary ]]></storytext><image><caption><![CDATA[ Michael Thompson ]]></caption><height></height><width></width><photo>https://cache.legacy.com/legacy/images/Cobrands/saltlaketribune/Photos/SLT0037442-1_20260317.jpg</photo></image></item></channel>
