Obituary
Jay Vern Clark was born on May 27, 1944 and passed away on March 16, 2023. Jay leaves behind Denise, his loving wife of 30 years, and a large blended family. He will be missed by his six children Carlos Clark (Rochelle), Candice Clark (Belinda), Travis Clark (Krista), Damon Clark (Sarah), Landon Clark (Brittanua), and Clayton Clark as well as Denise's five children Drew Christensen (Carrie), Rachelle Gronning (Jared), Melanie Sparkman (Randy), Heidi Melling (Trevor), Tyler Mortensen, a combined 30 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren with another on the way. He is also survived by three sisters (Donna, Kay, and Mary) as well as two brothers (Tom and Ron). He was preceded in death by his parents William "Don" and Beth Clark.
Jay married Charlene Murie in February 1969 and had six children. Together they raised their children and worked the small farm on the family land. They later divorced. He was always an example of hard work and doing what was required, even when it was not pleasant. In 1969 he took a factory job at Coleman until he found something better. He didn't like working in a factory but would do it day in and day out for 25 years, before coming home and attending to family and farm daily activities.
On April 10, 1992, he married Denise Ingram and later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple. For the next 31 years together they conquered life by going for rides and visiting with each other. Jay could often be found working on a project for Denise, whether she knew she needed it or not. He replaced cabinets, tile, rebuilt antique sewing machines and many other activities.
Jay was born in Cedar City, where he called home for his entire life. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served in many callings. Jay proudly serviced in the US Army from 1966 to 1967 then again in the Utah National Guard 222nd from 1984 until his retirement in 2004.
He loved outdoor activities of hunting, fishing, gold prospecting, looking for arrowheads and just simply exploring. Together with his brothers Tom and Ron, the trio explored all of southern Utah and even managed to branch out into other places from time to time. The brothers probably have well over a million miles of riding the roads together; and if they could even remember half the lies they told each other. Later he would spend as much time as possible with his kids and grandkids. Jay worked to create a love of the outdoors with his family and would spend many weekends with his young kids at the "Property" on the mountain.
Projects and hobbies could sometimes get out of control; more than once they would send him to the hospital. While working on the 1950 Chevy "rust bucket", the grinder got out of control and he ended up with 20 stitches in his hand. Another time, he was working on melting down concentrate for gold when he inhaled the fumes from the furnace and crucible, making him ill.
We want to thank the doctors and nurses at the Cedar City Cancer Center, Cedar Health and Rehab and Suntree Hospice for their exceptional care, kindness and support. He gave them a run for their money, often responding to; “How are you doing?” with “fair to midlin’, kinda, sorta, maybe on a good day.”
Graveside services will be held with military honors on Tuesday March 21, 2023 at at 1:00 pm at the Cedar City Cemetery. Prior to the graveside service there will be a viewing at the Sunset Canyon Ward building (2830 West Cody Drive) from 10:30 to 12:30 pm. Interment will be at the Cedar City Cemetery under the direction of Heartlight Funeral Services.

EARNESTINE JAKE'S OBITUARY
Earnestine Jake Lehi returned to her creator on March 6, 2021, surrounded and held by her family at the Mount Timpanogos Regional Hospital. In the months prior to her death, she was hospitalized due to COVID—she fought and overcame COVID and continued to fight valiantly to return home to her great-grandchildren. Ultimately, she succumbed to post-COVID related complications.
Earnestine was born in Cedar City, Utah on February 25, 1944, to Carl and Minnie John Jake. She was an enrolled member of the Indian Peaks Band of the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah. She was the last surviving member of the original Jake children. Earnestine lived a vibrant and unapologetic life. She was a survivor of the termination era that send her band and people into a state of despair, and she saw a lot of her culture lost due to the prevailing political and social climate for Paiute people in Utah. As such, she became a steward of knowledge for her family and people. She was a teacher and lecturer. She reveled in teaching and passing on the Paiute culture to her relatives, other Paiute members, and to the public. She was a traditional dancer in the pow-wow circle; she tanned buckskin hides, made Paiute baby cradles, sewed and beaded frequently, sang round-dance songs, loved to travel to powwows, bear dances, and sun dance ceremonies, and told the most lively, hilarious, and engaging stories about her life, her history, and our people. Her most recent accomplishment was publishing a book that highlighted the Paiute language. She was the last fluent speaker of the Paiute language for the Indian Peaks Band, so in addition to losing our very best friend, the world has lost an irreplaceable cultural resource.
In her later life, she settled into her role as Grandma Earnie. Everyone called her that, and she was a loving grandmother to everyone. She was an active member of the LDS Church and served as Relief Society President and Primary teacher at the Indian Branch for many years. She was selfless and went out of her way to make sure that people were fed, clothed, and housed. She did so many arts and crafts with her grand and great-grandchildren. She made the very best sugar cookies, tortillas, and beans. She loved to tend to her flowers and her giant goldfish. And, her laugh was full of joy, with a touch a crazy, and it was perfect. The sound of it will be missed.
She is survived by her daughters Jeanine (Robert) Borchardt of Enoch, UT and Anthonia Jake of Cedar City, UT, many nieces and nephews, cousins, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents Carl and Minnie Jake, multiple ex-husbands, her siblings, Clifford Jake, Edwin Kanosh, Arthur Jake, Geneva Anderson, Melba Jake, Ralph Jake, John Jake Sr., Margaret Jake, Manell Jake, Jeanette Jake, Eudrine Kanosh, Shirley Bowman, Wilford Jake, and grandson Louis Borchardt.
Due to COVID, the family will be postponing traditional, public ceremonies, so there will not be a traditional sing. A public viewing will be held on Sunday, March 14, 2021 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm. Masks and extreme social distancing is mandatory. Grandma would not want anyone to suffer in the same way that she did and neither does the family. A private, graveside service will be held on Monday, March 15 for family only, under the direction of Southern Utah Mortuary.
OBITUARY
Lainna Lynn Hill
JULY 13, 1944 – DECEMBER 29, 2020
With her husband at her side, Lainna Lynn (Robison) Hill died suddenly in her home in Fort Smith, Arkansas on Tuesday, December 29, 2020 shortly before 6:30 p.m. Lainna’s positive and spiritual approach to life was felt by all in her presence. Because she was an intimate follower of her Savior Jesus Christ, she loved people deeply and instantly. She was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Two weeks after their 1974 wedding, Lainna and Joe jetted off to Aberdeen, Scotland, where they lived for two years. Lainna’s “gypsy toes,” as she always said, and Joe’s job in the oil industry also provided them with an adventurous life in cities such as Bogota, Colombia, Denver, Colorado, Tulsa, Oklahoma and Binghamton, New York. They settled in Fort Smith, Arkansas in 2011 to be closer to family. Besides her deepest passion of loving others and spending time with family, she was celebrated for her life-like painting skills, cooking-up-anything-in-a-minute skills, and singing “Here Comes Santa Claus” while camping in July skills. But come game night, she exasperated everyone in her large family, because she couldn’t be beat. And if you ever went to the family cabin in Colorado, you’d be grateful she was with you. Her passion for fun spilled into every outdoor activity, like horseback or ATV riding, painting hiking sticks and even children’s hands red to attract hummingbirds. She is preceded in death by her parents, Elmo and Rose Robison and her eldest sister, Raedell Woolsey. She is survived by her husband of 47 years, Leonard "Joe" Hill and their five children: Brad (Lisa) Hill, Kristan (Scott) Gray, Sean (Michelle) Hill, Heather (Nathan) Christensen and Jeff (Beth) Hill;16 grandchildren: Amanda (Milton) Timoteo, Ashley (Ket) Tenney, Chad (Gloria) Hill, Ross Hill; Ryan and Matthew Gray, Haley (Gabriel) Montoya; Austen (Nicole) Hill, Braeden Hill; Ian (Sophia) Christensen, Andrew, Megan and Isabella Christensen; Natalie (Ryan) Popple; Alex and Livia Monge; and eight great-grandchildren: Tesi, Millie and Reeve Timoteo; Jett and Matten Tenney; Ford Hill; Lianne Christensen and Cohen Popple; siblings Tamara (Jay) Smith, Yvonne Wray, Dennis (Amy) Robison and Cheryl (Doug) Burrow; and hundreds of friends around the world.
Funeral service will be 10 a.m., Monday, January 4 at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Greenwood under the direction of McConnell Funeral Home of Greenwood. Viewing will be Sunday from 3 – 7 p.m. at the funeral home. Burial will be at Kirtland Cemetery in Kirtland, New Mexico.
If you would like to donate something in Lainna’s memory, she was a regular donor to the Wounded Warriors and to various children’s hospitals

Shirlee Carol Miles Adair passed away on September 3, 2020 at the age of 76. Carol was the daughter of Lorin Church and Elva Johnson Miles. She was born in Cedar City, Utah on November 2, 1943.
Judy Ann Matheson Cutler 1943-2020
Judy Ann Matheson Cutler left this life on the evening of Saturday August 29, 2020 in her home in Draper, Utah. Judy was a special daughter of our Father in Heaven. She was born on November 20, 1943 in Cedar City, Utah to Jenny Young Matheson and Gordon Matheson. Judy was born with a love for people and a positive view of life. She was a cheerleader from the start as she always encouraged other people which was very evident as she mothered 5 beautiful children and later became the grandmother of 14 special grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. From a young age Judy had a strong belief in her Father in Heaven. She knows that He lives. This strong testimony continued to grow throughout her life. She had many special experiences where the spirit further testified to her that this life was but a season to learn and grow in preparation for when she returned to live with our Father in Heaven. During her life she experienced many trials with her health. Her faith only increased and when it came time for her to depart this life, she did it valiantly. Judy attended school in Cedar City where she was a well-liked and popular young lady. While in junior high school she became involved with a singing group called the Tamettes. She and the group became very well known in Southern Utah and were invited to sing on talent shows in Salt Lake City. Judy served in student government at school as well as being very active in the young women organization at church. When she entered Cedar City High School, she became a cheer leader. It was at this time that she met her future soulmate at the high school Sadie Hawkins dance. From that time forward she never laid eyes on another. V.Blaine Cutler was a year older and was a star athlete. After Judy graduated from Cedar High in 1962, she and Blaine were married in the St. George Utah temple for time and all eternity. She was but 18 and he was 19—still kids by today’s standards. Blaine had begun a career in retail as a management trainee for F.W. Woolworth Co. in Logan, Utah. They were still kids, but they set off on their life’s journey with not much more than an old 1954 Studebaker Commander and a few clothes. They had a vision for their future, they always remained faithful in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Over the next 38 years they moved 24 times as Blaine progressed through the ranks at Woolworth. They lived in Idaho Falls and Pocatello Idaho, Cedar City Utah, Santa Monica, Fresno and Morgan Hill California, El Paso Texas and Bountiful Utah before retiring in Draper in 1999 from Morgan Hill California. Judy was the consummate homemaker and cook and made each one of these houses a home and a piece of heaven on earth. Judy was blessed to be a stay at home mom where she had 5 children (4 living). Her children and grandchildren have been the highlight and focus of her life. She was always the cheerleader and encourager. She loved her family more than anything and her family loves her dearly. Many people have come to know and love Judy for her special spirit, her sense of humor and her love for the Savior. Judy’s example and influence for good is far reaching and long lasting. During her life Judy was always one who would volunteer to help, she served in numerous positions in her wards and stakes serving in the ward young women, primary and relief society. She served as a relief society president and in the stake young women organization. Civically she was involved in the early 1970’s with the anti-abortion legislation and other local endeavors. It was only after she was diagnosed with cancer in the early 1980’s that she was slowed. From then on, she became the family cheerleader always encouraging and cheering her family on in their pursuits. Judy was known for her strong testimony of the Savior and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She always wanted to be the first up to bare her testimony. She exhibited this faith throughout her life and was not afraid to leave this life when her health really declined the past few months.

Obituary
Merrill John Hopkins, born November 15, 1943 returned to his Father in Heaven on February 21, 2020. Rejoining his parents Edwin Lee Hopkins and Ada Bell Condie, his older brother Edwin LaRay Hopkins and his loving wife Michal Thomas, who he married on December 27, 1975, and later sealed their marriage at the Salt Lake City Temple on September 17, 1979.
Growing up in Cedar City, Utah, Merrill was always one to create mischief rarely getting to school on time or showing up to school covered in grease. He was always deep-neck into fixing or tearing apart something regardless of if he knew how or not. He would never miss the opportunity to learn how things worked, especially engines. Merrill worked as an auto mechanic for several years in Salt Lake City. When his career of working on cars ended, due to his back injuries, he moved on to small engines. He eventually opened Hopkins Small Engine Repair shop which he operated, for many years from his home in Washington City, Utah.
Merrill is survived by his 5 children John, Jeanene, Rodney, Susan, and Edwin, his brother Eric, sister Carolyn, 19 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren.
Services for Merrill will be held Saturday, February 29, 2020, at 11am in the Morningside Chapel 930 S. Morningside Dr., St.George, Utah 84790.
