"Dear
1934 - 2013
Beloved wife, Mother, and friend, Claire
Beckstrand Brimley, 78 died on February
4th, 2013 in Murray, UT. She was in the arms of her husband and in the presence of family as she passed.
Born in Meadow, Utah December 28th,
1934, the daughter of Ireta Christiansen and John Beckstrand. Married in 1957 to
Wallace G. (Jerry) Brimley. Together they brought two beautiful daughters, Jerri-
Lei and Jennifer, and three boys, James Paul, John Christopher, and Mark
Anthony into the world. Her children were her passion, along with, cooking new recipes, canning fresh fruit from her orchard, baking, visiting (and gossiping!) with her many, many friends going, to the beach, gardening, and most of all each spring filling her beautiful deck with pots of fresh flowers and just enjoying everything this world had to offer. Mom was a very special woman who touched many people with her generosity, passion for life and love for her family. She had a favorite quotation from E. Bombeck, "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have one bit of talent left, and could say: "I used everything you gave me." She was an inspiration to all in her battle with Rheumatoid Arthritis, and heart problems for many years. Never letting them get her down or giving up. She lived a full life throughout the illness and fought it to the end. We like to think she died from the battle and not the disease. Claire is survived by her loving husband,
Jerry, adoring daughters Jerri Longo (Mark) Jennifer Jones (Leon) and sons
James Paul (Carmen), John Christopher, and Mark Anthony (Analeisa) and many nieces and nephews, grandchildren, and one great grandchild. Special thanks to the true care and love from her many long-terms doctors and other medical personnel.

February 4, 2013, surrounded by her loving family. She was the first child born to Donald and Ursula
Gibson on May 18, 1929, in Hyde

Wanda graduated from South High School and from the University of Utah with honors. She was dedicated to her education and was a voracious reader throughout her life and loved books of all kinds, as well as poetry, music and art.

They were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on August 15, 1950, and were inseparable for 62 years. Together, they raised a family of ten children (five girls and five boys) in Draper, Utah.
While Jack worked as an art teacher in the Granite School District, Wanda served as a caring and devoted wife and mother in their home. Their children remember her as patient, loving, and generous; all qualities needed to raise ten children. Wanda was a wonderful cook, famous for her homemade bread and scones. She created many beautiful and intricate quilts and fine needlepoint work. She was cherished as a kind and loyal friend who loved to visit and always had a quick, genuine laugh and smile.
Wanda was a faithful member of the LDS Church. She spent many years as a Primary teacher, in the genealogy program translating old records and serving in the Jordan River Temple. In her later years, she crocheted blankets for newborn babies in her ward. Wanda loved genealogy and traced the family lines back into the 1700s. She blessed her family by compiling photographs, life histories and diaries of many of the family's ancestors. Wanda was the family's memory keeper and had a wonderful gift for storytelling.
