“What we have once enjoyed we can never lose.
All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” ~ Helen Keller

Forthcoming funeral services are planned for the following friends from our community. Complete versions of these obituaries may also be found in The Payson Chronicle.

ORAN WALL

Oran L. Wall, 86, passed away on January 10, 2020, at his home with his loving family by his side.  He was born on November 11, 1933,
to Lionel and Edris Finch Wall. He grew up with 6 brothers and 2 sisters, attending school in Santaquin and graduating from Payson High
School.  He attended Trade Tech and certified as a welder.

He married Shawna Oldroyd, his wife of 66 years, in Nephi, Utah.  They had 3 daughters, Connie, LeeAnn and Judy. He worked for
Geneva Steel and farmed until the day he died.  Dad had a love of farming and a love of all animals, especially horses. His favorite time
was spent riding his horses or on his tractor.  The grand kids were riding with papa when they were still babies. We spent many days on the
farm, having picnics, flying kites, hunting Easter eggs, and working as a family.  He taught his family the importance of hard work.

He is survived by his wife, 3 daughters, Connie (Brad) Mattinson, LeeAnn (Larry) King, and Judy (Brent) Vincent; sisters Lazawn Jarvis and
Thearl Park, and one brother, Verl; 14 grandkids and 33 great-grandkids.  He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Junior, Elfawn,
Venell, Leon and Guy, and a great-grandchild, Macen Lundell.

Services will be held on Friday, January 17 at 11 AM in the North Stake Center, 545 North 200 East, Santaquin, Utah.  A visitation will be held
at the same location on Thursday, January 16 from 6-8 PM and preceding the funeral from 9:45-10:45 AM.

Our family would like to thank the staff at Mt. View Hospital ICU and Canyons Hospice (Tom, RN) for the loving care they showed our dad and
family.

His final ride will be to the Santaquin City Cemetery.  It will be provided by Craig McKnight and Kim Richins.
