Nora Stahle

Nora A. Stahle, beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, passed away May 13, 2005 at the age of 88. She was born September 1, 1916 in West Bountiful, Utah, to Charles William and Elizabeth Garrett Atkinson. She married Keith L. Stahle on November 24, 1941 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. She attended Davis County Schools and graduated from Davis High School. Mother had a deep love for her family and was always there to encourage and comfort each one. Her many friends were greatly blessed by their association with her. Mother?s home and gardens brought her great joy and comfort, and those who visited were always warmly received. She loved to read, keep up on current events, and appreciated good music. Crocheting, knitting, cooking, and playing the piano were some of the activities she also loved. She created beautiful handiwork pieces, of which many relatives and friends were the recipients. During the course of her life, Nora was a devoted and loving caregiver, having attended to her mother, sister, husband?s parents, and especially her husband Keith, in the last years of their lives. She was an active member of the LDS Church in the Bountiful First Ward. Mother had a strong testimony of the gospel and its truthfulness. She was faithful in her church callings and served unselfishly for 12 years in her Ward and Stake Relief Society Presidencies. Nora is survived by her sister, Barbara Scott Rice; daughter, Alice Craig Johnson and their children, Walt, Wendy, Tracy and Heidi Beth; daughter Mary John Hepworth and their children, Kim, Heidi, Christopher, Michael and Jeffrey; daughter-in-law, Sharon W. Stahle and her children, Susan, Phillip, Paul and Allison; and twenty-two great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband Keith, son Richard, parents, brother and three of her sisters. The family wishes to express their deepest thanks to her devoted and loving caregivers, Sherry Heap, Connie Smith, and Pam Hull, who attended to Mother during her extended illness related to a stroke.
