Winifred H Richman, 80, passed away on December 19th 2022. 

Winnie was born on August 5th 1942 to John and Marian (Davidson) Higginson in Manitowoc, WI.  Mom lived in Delaware and Alabama before her family settled in Utah.  Mom attended and graduated from Box Elder High. She also attended college at Utah State University. 

Mom had a fierce love for horses and owned them from her youth until she passed.  Our Dad and Mom ran a ranch in Promontory together until Dad’s death in 2015. Mom carried on the running of the ranch until her death. She loved being a rancher!

Mom loved painting and the opera ­ Carolyn Carter accompanied our mom to all these events. Thank you Carolyn for being our Mom’s best friend!!

Mom had a lot of pride in writing a weekly article for the Tremonton Leader and Box Elder News Journal. She kept us up to date and always smiling.

Mom was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She held various callings and enjoyed them all.

Mom loved her family and being a Granny. She took great pride in all their accomplishments.  Mom possibly loved her grown children a little more when they followed her orders to a “T”.  We learned a lot from Mom and we like to think she learned a little bit from us too.

Mom is survived by her children; Heather Marian (Greg) Lott, Aaron Clynn (April) Richman, Lyle Higginson Richman and her sister Pamela H (Jack) Apodaca. Also eight grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.

Mom was preceded in death by her parents, husband, son (Courtney Wells Richman) and her sister Hillary H Russell.

Mom we love you and may you find joy and peace on the other side.

Rochelle Huggins Lewis

October 10, 1942 — November 16, 2022

Diana Rochelle Huggins Lewis (Rosie) died quietly in her sleep on November 16, 2022, at the age of 80.

Rosie was born on October 10, 1942, in Brigham City to Clifford and Ruth Huggins. She had three sisters (Sandra, Betty, and Debra) and one brother (Colin). All her family proceeded her in death except for her youngest sister, Debra Baird. She loved her family so much and considered her sisters her best friends.

Rosie attended Box Elder High School where she was a member of the “Rockettes” drill team. She made many friends during high school and to this day, the remainder of that friend group still gets together for laughter and stories about those special friendships.

Rosie married Lee Folkman on November 1, 1963. They were later divorced. Together, they had two children, Cindi Mansell, and John Folkman. She later married Lester Lewis and they were divorced. She has two beautiful granddaughters (Quincy (Jake) Spainhower and Holland Taylor) and one great-grandson (Cam). She was such a fun grandma to her granddaughters, and they have many special memories they will cherish. Rosie did meet and hold Cam but unfortunately was not at a stage where she could really understand how wonderful it was to have a great grandchild.

Rosie worked and managed the Roy Circuit Court for almost 35 years before she retired. She met several life-long friends at the court, and they had many great times together. Following her retirement, she purchased a condo on the White Barn Golf Course and finally was able to live and love life. She was able to entertain friends and travel but that was cut short due to her health.

Rosie was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in her late 30’s. This is a brutal disease that affected her health greatly, but she never ever complained. Later in life the MS contributed to her developing dementia and early-onset Alzheimer’s. She moved into Assisted Living and lived the past 7 years in a Memory Care Unit.

Special thanks to Petersen Farms Facility and the staff where Rosie spent her final years. Even when she was unable to really talk or identify her family, she still teased and harassed the staff. They loved her spunk and the way she would drop everything and dance if she heard an old song come on (especially Elvis). That lady could dance!

Rosie never found candy or chocolate that she didn’t like. Later in her life in Memory Care, nobody else could have candy that was safe. She needed it so she would take it! In the end, a caramel sundae, M&M’s, Kit Kat, or Snickers bar was all that she needed to be happy. Once her many treats started piling up and not being eaten, we knew her end was near, and she was tired.

Rosie was a proper lady but also a spitfire, full of jokes and pranks. She was a bright shiny bundle of joy, friend to all and loved by everyone. She was kind and compassionate and loved to help others. She was the best mom, wife, sister, grandmother, friend, and boss. She is loved and will be remembered; we could all sit around the table telling stories about her. In life and after life, we will smile when we think of her.

A public viewing will be held from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. November 29, 2022, at Lindquist’s Ogden Mortuary, 3408 Washington Boulevard, Ogden. Following the viewing, she will travel and be buried with a short graveside service in the Brigham City Cemetery at approximately 1:30 p.m.

 

Maurice Howard Sep. 21, 1942 ~ Oct. 08, 2022 We are sad to announce the death of Maurice Warren Howard of Brigham City, UT. Surrounded by his loved ones, he passed away on October 8, 2022 at the age of 80. Maurice was born September 21, 1942 in Brigham City, UT to the late Jess Howard and Helen Howard Jorgensen. He proudly served in the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corp during the Vietnam Era from 1960 to 1964, when he received his honorable discharge. Maurice lived a simple life. He loved his boxer dogs, and after their passing began caring for feral cats. He always had an unfinished project laying around, whether it was a home renovation or the vehicles in the driveway he planned to someday rebuild. He was always a jokester and could tell the same story multiple times with new enthusiasm in each rendition. Maurice will be most fondly remembered for his love for his family. He enjoyed going to the car show and Peach Days with his grandkids and was known for giving the most random gifts. Maurice is survived by his son, Daren (Shaun) Howard and daughter, Tami (David) Moses. He is also survived by his sister, Shonna (George) Dawson, 4 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren, and his very dear friend, Carolyn Sever. He was preceded in death by his parents, twin sisters who died at birth, and his brother, Larry Howard. We would like to extend our gratitude to the staff at Ogden Regional Medical Center for the compassionate care they gave him, and his family, during the final week of his life. Graveside services will be held on Thursday October 13, 2022, at 11am. at the Brigham City Cemetery. Friends may visit with the family from 9:00-10:30 AM prior to the service at Gillies Funeral Chapel at 634 East 200 South, Brigham City, Utah 84302.

Bette Ann  (Christensen) Dallin 

She married her sweetheart, Roger L. Dallin on April 13, 1962, (Friday the 13th) in the Logan Utah Temple.  They enjoyed an amazing life together.

Bette was a renaissance woman and enjoyed many adventures, challenges, and successes in her life.

She attended Bear River Elementary, Box Elder High School,  BYU and various educational programs.

Bette worked her entire life and always said “work is a blessing”.  She started at the age of seven waiting tables at Pop’s Place in Bear River City.   She worked at the Mattel Toy Company making Chatty Cathy dolls in Hawthorne, California, and ever leading important work with the US Air Force; and other jobs.

She will be remembered by thousands as Ms. Bette, and her amazing way as the secretary and “Godmother“ of Bear River City (Century) Elementary School.  She was proud that she worked full-time up until the day she was admitted into the hospital. She bandaged, placed “ice gloves”, helped, advised,  consulted and mothered countless children and faculty over her 38+ years at the school.

She volunteered and supported the Future Homemakers of America, the Box Elder County Fair Board, and the Mounted Sheriff’s Posse and many others. She loved serving on the city’s planning commission, and as the town clerk.

She loved her little community and participated in singing groups, playing piano, a snowmobile club, and her beloved “Wild Bunch” that would get together each month to support each other.  She served in her church as Relief Society President, Primary President and so many other callings.  She worked and volunteered with the best people on earth.

Her words of advice and counsel will resonate forever, “love at home”, “choose the right”, “do your best”, “work hard”, “you’re not a quitter”, and other thoughts have and will bless the lives of so many.

She will be remembered for her placement of $2.00 Bills as a unique thank you and gift that is now known as a “Bette loves you”.

Her biggest dream was to be a mother and have successful children.  Her children are still working on the success part, but they have been taught by an amazing mother.

Bette was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband, and her great granddaughter, Berlyn Smith.
 

She is survived by one sister, Karen (Kino) Chutka, and three brothers, Bob Christensen, Curtis Christensen, Kent Christensen and her children, Jeff (Jan) Dallin - Bear River City, Utah; Chris (Candice) Dallin -Syracuse, Utah;  Allyson (Kevin) Bowcutt -Leander, Texas; 12 grandchildren; 11 great grandchildren, with one more on the way.

Funeral services will be held at 11 A.M. on Monday, March 14, 2022. Viewings will be held on Sunday, March 13, 2022, from 5-7 P.M. and prior to the funeral service from 9-10:30 A.M..

The family wishes to thank the countless students, neighbors, co-workers, volunteers, and friends who brought joy into her life.

With love, the proud children of an amazing and successful mother.
