Rodney Lee Mellor 1927 ~ 2007

Our Dad, Grandpa and Husband, Rodney Lee Mellor, age 80, passed away peacefully at his home on, September 19, 2007, surrounded by his family.

Born on March 16, 1927 in Manti, Utah to Leslie Lee and Ruth Braithwaite Mellor.

A Manti High School graduate, he served as both student body and LDS Seminary president. He answered the call to arms during World War II and enlisted in the US Navy, serving proudly aboard the U.S.S. Baltimore. He earned a B.S. in accounting from the University of Utah and worked as a CPA. He was Financial Vice President of KUTV from 1968 -1975.

Married April 24, 1965 to his true love Patricia Marie Donley April 24, 1965 Las Vegas, NV (Later sealed in Manti Temple 1973). Mom was 18 years his junior and friends wagered that the marriage wouldn't last six months. Their union produced seven children, 18 grandchildren, and lasted nearly 43 adventurous years.

Dad's testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ was evident by the high priority he placed on the family relationships. His greatest joy was his family. He made a point to make each child and grandchild feel special and loved. He could always be counted on for a hug and a pep talk. He was a constant source of encouragement and confidence. Dad volunteered in many capacities, including as an EMT and for the National Park Service where he helped transcribe the names of Civil War soldiers from handwritten rolls to computer database.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother John Kimball Mellor, and his sisters Ruth Sherry Mellor, and Carma Ann Mellor.

Rod is survived by his loving wife Pat who selflessly cared for him during the past two years while he was bedridden. He also leaves his seven children and their spouses who he loved as his own: Ryan and Angie Mellor, Karl and Rachelle Mellor, Manny and Pam Mellor, Maria and Bruce Weller, Sara and Jeff Nisson, Brigham and Emily Mellor, Arthur James Mellor, Maurie Simons, and 18 grandchildren, and two foster children Yang Shr Ning and Roberta Yazzie.

Funeral Held For Carma Ann Mellor

Impressive and well attended funeral servies were held Monday afternoon for Carma Ann Mellor, 14, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Lee Mellor, who died at the family home Friday afternoon. She had been ill for two years.

Carma Ann was born in Manti, July 19, 1934, daugther of Lee and Ruth Braithwaite Mellor, and had lived here since. She is survived by her parents; two brothers, Rodney and Kimball Mellor, and grandmother, Mrs. Annie Braithwaite.

She had been an active church member and was an outstanding student in school. She had been a great lover of animals and also spent much time in free-hand drawing while she was yet able to use her hands. She had a fine assortument of dolls and had spent much time in makeing clothes for them.

Relatives, neighbors and friends had taken a great deal of interest in her during her lenghty illness and helped her cheerfully to occupy her time.

The funeral was held in the Center Ward Chapel, Bishop Ward Magleby conducting. Profuse floral offerings paid a beautiful, though silent, tribute from scores of friends.

Prelude and post lude music was played by Mrs. Morris Pack. The girls chorus directed by Mrs. Paul Keeler sang "I Know That My Redeemer Lives" and "Till I Come to Thee," and Claire and Pauline Dyreng sang "I Think When I Read That Sweet Story Of Old." Accompanists were Mary Lou Nielson and Adele Olsen. An origianal poem, "Youth's Radiance Gone," was read by Carma Ann's aunt, Zada Rudeen of Riverside, California.

Speakers were Easton Moffitt, Pratt Allred and Bishop Magleby. They eulogized the life of Carma Ann, told of her patience, courage and enduring faith during her long illness, and all spoke of her fine character and accomplishments.

The same beautiful spirt regarding Carma Ann was shown in the prayer in the home by an uncle, Ray P. Lund; in the invocation by Cecil Tucker, the benediction by an uncle, Ferd C. Alder, and the dedicatory prayer by another uncle, Archie M. Mellor."
