years of exceptional living, she passed away surrounded by loving family on March 29, 2014 in
Salt Lake City. As the daughter of a miner, she had an adventurous childhood. Her family loved

CA. It was there that she met and married her husband, Gerald Emmett Turner, in 1929. They
had one son, Gerald Lewis Turner. She graduated from beauty school and had her own beauty
salon for many years in Olympia, WA and later in Utah. She was a member of the LDS Church
and enjoyed her visits from her visiting and home teachers. Ruth worked tirelessly on genealogy
and family history. She even traveled to Ireland to find family records and distant relatives. Ruth
fell in love with quilting at the age of 60. She created at least one quilt for each member of her
family. Ruth made many friends while living at St. Marks Towers in SLC, and greatly enjoyed
their friendship. She is survived by her son, Gerald; daughter-in-law, Cynthia; 7 grandchildren;
22 great grandchildren; sister, Eberle; brother, Lewis; and many nieces and nephews. She was
preceded in death by her parents; seven siblings; and her great granddaughter, Brittany. Ruth was

Brandie Crystal Paterakis
January 25, 1978-To Death
Brandie was born to Robin and Wendy Pilcher on January 25, 1978 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She came out
kicking a screaming to be sent back up to Heaven! After a long life of exceptional living, she passed
away surrounded by loving family (and hopefully cupcakes!). Brandie had an adventurous childhood.
(She drove her parents nuts.). She met her crazy and fun spirited husband Heath Kirk Paterakis. They
were married August 6th, 2008 in the Salt Lake Temple. Brandie loved her callings in the LDS church, and
served diligently (this very well may be the cause of my death). She worked hard providing a Stake girls
camp each summer for teens to strengthen morals, and self confidence. Working with the youth made
her happy and young again. Traveling was a piece of her life that she found enriching and motivating.
She looked forward to visiting all God’s creations. (I’m still working on this!) Brandie worked tirelessly on
her school work, her favorite class was psychology and teacher Lara Fields (insert extra credit here!). She
has high expectations for herself and planned to be a great counselor and teen motivator. Brandie made
friends with everyone; she looked forward to luncheons, vacations, and helping those in need. Her prize
possessions are her family and loved ones. Brandie’s death was followed by her loving husband Heath
who couldn’t bear to live without her. (He really did not want to raise 4 girls on his own!) They are both
survived by their four daughters, Logan, CharLee, Georgie, and Franki. They will miss her terribly! (As will
their messy rooms!) Brandie was tenacious, intelligent and independent. She had an incredible
sense of humor and loved her family deeply. Her family feels privileged to have had so many
wonderful years to love an amazing woman!(THAT IS RIGHT!) Preceding the graveyard
services everyone is invited over for a large BBQ paid in full by Brandie’s loving parents!
Instead of flowers bring cupcakes! (The kind with sprinkles on them!)
(I hope my husband actually uses this……minus the part about his death of course!)
