MABLE LOVELESS CHRISTENSEN

March 28, 1934 ~ November 27, 2016

Mable Loveless Christensen, of Ogden, passed away on Monday, November 27, 2016. She was born on March 28, 1934 in Payson Utah, to Owen Parry and Virginia Harryman Loveless.

She married Donald Hyrum Christensen in Payson on May 24, 1952. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Ogden Temple. He passed away on June 12, 1997. She missed him dearly.

Mable grew up in Payson, often spending summers with her brother, Jerry, in San Francisco visiting her grandmother. She graduated from Payson High School in 1952. Mable worked for the Internal Revenue Service, serving her country for 24 years.

Mable was an active member in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She served in many callings including Compassionate Leader, Visiting Teacher, and Service Missionary at Temple Square in Salt Lake City.

Mable's family was her pride and joy. She loved each and every one of her “favorite” children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She adored her brothers, especially her youngest brother who always had her own private cabin ready for her every summer.

Mable enjoyed sewing, knitting and crocheting. She made each of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren personalized blankets and aprons embroidered with their names, as well as afghans for each member of her beloved family. She loved traveling with family and friends, playing games and cards with her many close friends. She attended the local Red Hat’s Club and rarely missed a Friday lunch with her long time friends “The Golden Girls.”

Mable is survived by her four children: Brent Christensen, Marcie (Steve) Gilgen, Gina Clawson and Mike Christensen; her brother, Jerry (Carole) Loveless; two sisters-in-law: Lorraine (Blaine) Loveless and Marilyn (Maynard) Christensen Tippetts and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband and five brothers: John Parry Loveless, Blaine Harryman Loveless, Kenneth Owen Loveless, Gene Francis Loveless and Dan Raynor Loveless.

DENNIS WAYNE CARTER

Dennis Wayne Carter, 69, of La Habra, California, passed away on November 15, 2016, in Anaheim surrounded by his loving family.  Dennis was born in Payson, Utah, September 26, 1947 to Rosa Buffo and Wayne D. Carter.  He was raised in Payson and attended school there graduating from Payson High School in 1965 where he was active in sports.

 A life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, he honorably served in the Italian Mission.   Dennis attended Brigham Young University where he met his sweet wife Pamela Clark.  The two were married in the Los Angeles Temple in 1971.  He graduated from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic while working full-time and raising their eight children.  An avid fisherman, Dennis loved hunting, the outdoors, sports, classical music, art, gardening, cooking, and most of all, his family.  Working hard his entire life, Dennis retired from the Kroger Corporation.

He is survived by his wife of forty-five years Pamela, of La Habra, and children:  Katrina (Louis) Larres, Clovis, CA; Michelle (Vince) Ayala, Corona, CA; Joshua (Kimberly), West Point, NY; Chad, Ontario, CA; Jeffrey (Kristine), Corona, CA; Kellin, Corona, CA; Stefani (Brian) Slocum, Corona, CA; Margaret, Layton, UT; 15 grandchildren, brother Randy (Laura) Carter, sisters Penny (Kevin) Bowles, and Tami (Eric) Strong,  plus a large extended family.

Funeral services for Dennis will be held December 3, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. at the La Habra LDS Chapel, 2351 E La Habra Boulevard, viewing from 9:00-9:50 a.m. prior to services. Interment at the Memory Garden Memorial Park in Brea, California.

Daylight Donuts Brings Tried And Proven Recipes And Commitment To The Community

Pictured last week at Daylight Donuts, located just west of the Payson Post Office at 887 East 100 North: Carson and Dylan Argyle, sons of owners Scott and Lisa Argyle; and Rebecca Ekins, shown here at the front counter of Daylight Donuts 

Scott and Lisa Argyle decided three years ago to commit themselves to small business, and they found Daylight Donuts an excellent partner for doing that.  They expanded their operation to Payson, where Scott’s parents lived during their retirement years, opening the store on September 23rd.

“A ribbon cutting has been planned for us by the Chamber of Commerce at Noon on December 7th,” Scott reports.  “And our Grand Opening will be held Saturday, December 10th.  We will be having drawings and prizes with free samples that day.”

The Argyles have created a line of drinks to go along with the bakery items.  They brainstormed together to come up with brand: “SIPZZ Mixology Drinks.”  The combination of offerings has proven to complement each other very well.

Having developed their first store in Springville, they are very pleased with the first two months in Payson.  “We learned a lot from our start in Springville,” they explain.

Part of the reason for success is their commitment to operating a family business that can involve the entire family in a fun and enjoyable way.  Along with that they employ seven to help with the baking and sales.  Scott works hard at the business, starting at 2 a.m. to have the donuts and other popular bakery items ready for the early morning customers and throughout the day.

Scott notes that the variety of cake donuts prepared by Daylight Donut recipes are among the most popular offerings with the sour cream cake donut with its glaze and old-fashioned emphasis the most sought after that, along with blueberry, chocolate, and white cake.

“A lot of traffic to the store comes from people like Daylight Donuts,” Scott says, adding that he and Lisa have been fans of the brand for quite some time.  “The Pleasant Grove Daylight Donuts was our ‘go to’ place,” Scott says.  “It was the first Daylight Donuts shop in Utah.”

So it’s natural that Scott and Lisa would feel confident with the brand, and they work hard to promote the business, partnering with local schools, delivering to gas stations and hospitals, and making donations to help with special occasions, such as free donut cards for student awards.

They are enthused about Small Business Saturday this weekend and welcome everyone to drop by and see why Daylight Donuts has such a great reputation.

Robert Lee Hales

Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Robert Lee Hales, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 21, 2016 at the age of 80.  He was, and will continue to be, our example of faith, diligence, and righteous living.  He truly loved and served his family and friends, both those around him and those who have preceded him beyond the veil.

He initiated the first Advanced Placement History program in Provo at Timpview High School.

He loved young people and tried to instill a love of learning in them.  After leaving the public schools he turned to real estate, eventually becoming a Broker and beginning his own company, This Is The Place Realty.  His last employment was at BYU as an Administrator in Conferences and Workshops where he served for 20 years.  

Robert served faithfully in many callings in the Church.  Some of his favorite callings were: temple worker, family history specialist, gospel doctrine teacher and being a missionary.
