She was a loving wife to Joe Knudsen for 54 years until his death, a wonderful mother to Darren (Connie) Fielding, UT, Cami Portland, OR and Cory (Amy) West Jordan, UT.

Shirlee and I were good friends. We had sons that were the same age and hung out together. She was always so friendly; she impressed me as being such a good mother and always treated my son like her own. Alzheimer's is such a mean disease, and it takes so many good people.

Paul was one of the most loved members of our class. He was always cheerful and always had a good word for any of us he ran into. He and his wife served four Church missions together. He was a peach of a guy and I'll bet no one ever heard a bad word about him, unlike some of us who deserved plenty of bad words.
I sat by Kathie in type class, and while I was struggling to make the 20 WPM mark, she was sitting there calmly typing about 100 WPM, and this was at the first of the year. Her skill blew my mind. But I'm sure that some of my slowness was because I was always bedazzled by how pretty she was. It was very sad the she was the first of our class to go.
Jay was an imposing basketball player and was on Bear River's varsity team through high school. We played our seasonal game against Logan during our senior year. Jay played opposite their scoring star. Jay elbowed him so often and hard during that game that his opponent’s main interest became to stay away from Jay. He was impotent and scored little during this game so we won.
Late in the season Jay got fed up with Coach Durrell Hughes and quit the team. In the torment we meet Logan again, but without Jay’s elbows their star scored a lot and so we lost the game and that ended our post basketball season run.

Burk was popular and well liked in high school. To digress, at one time I went with Janelle Brailsford in Brigham City. We were mostly just good friends. She turn out to be a valuable friend because later she ran the DMV, and whenever I needed to renew anything to do with motor vehicles she would grease the skids for me; she made an unpleasant task very pleasant. Anyway, the interesting fact is, that Burk married her. I’m not sure how long they were married before she died, but after her death he then married her sister Sheryl Brailsford.
Gary was an interesting friend with a lot of unique interests. He had a rather special talent for catching a baseball with a bat swinging in front of his face, something I could not do. The bat swinging in front of me totally confused me as to the where abouts of the ball. He had a garage full of chinchillas or minks or some kind of furry critters that were good for making coats, that he was helping to raise. He was a good drummer and I remember him playing at assemblies, but he got discussed because students would talk during his performances and not pay attention, so eventually, he refused to play; Gary had an independent streak in him, and a unique way of looking at things. He moved to Arizona sometime early in our high school or jr. high years. I thought he added a lot of spice to our class and he was sorely missed.
KENNETH WAYNE FULLER
JULY 10, 1942 - MARCH 15, 2019
OBITUARY
Kenneth Wayne Fuller was born July 10, 1942 in Tremonton, Utah to Howard Reuben Fuller and Ina Claire Phillips Fuller. He peacefully passed away from cancer in his wife's arms on March 15, 2019. He battled cancer for over 16 years. He was a true survivor. If you ever asked him how he was doing this past year and a half, his answer was either "Chipper" or "Peachy". Always so positive and kept his sense of humor right up to the end.
He was always helping others, whether it was friends or family or anyone who he came in contact with. He loved sharpening knives for anyone...that was a fun, fun thing for him to do.
He also made some very special friends while he was on this earth, who have stayed in contact with him all these years.
As a building contractor for most of his life, he refurbished homes that had been damaged by hail, wind and fire for insurance companies, built homes with his youngest son, Casey, and then installed vinyl fence for residential homes. After moving to Arizona, he and his two sons, Jeremy and Casey, finished their first beautiful home in Queen Creek, Arizona only to have the market fall out in 2006-07. At the time they had eight homes including his, and his two sons. He then went to work as a supervisor for vinyl fence company, Homestead Vinyl until he and his wife went on a mission to Salt Lake City, Utah. He then returned to work again for the vinyl fence company, but eventually worked with his son, Jeremy, who had started up a couple of new companies. He was a very hard worker, always needing to be doing something.
He loved interacting with the youth, whether it be in scouting, Sunday School, Primary, or as a Bishopric Counselor. He spent so many days running the river with the youth, going to girls and boy camps, teaching the little ones.
He received his Eagle Scout award when he was about 15 years old which helped him get a job for Boeing Airplane Company a few years later when he moved to Washington State.
With him being the oldest in his family, he learned how to take care of babies. When his came along he was able to really help his wife, the youngest in her family, to know how to burp and even change diapers. He loved the babies...so caring and gentle with them all.
He served Heavenly Father to the fullest in any calling that he had. Serving in three Bishoprics, 1st and 2nd Counselor, Ward Clerk, Executive Secretary, High Priest Group Leadership, Elder's Quorum Presidency, Sunday School President, Young Men Presidency, Stake and Ward Missionary, Young Missionary and Senior Missionary with his wife, Sunday School Teacher, Primary, Librarian, Scouting,
Ordinance Worker, and Volunteer in the Baptistery at the Mesa, Arizona Temple and so many other callings. Always, always serving the Lord.
He served in the Brisbane, Australia Mission from 1961 to 1963, in which his wife, Nedra Lynne waited for him, they married six weeks after he returned. He and Nedra Lynne served in the Senior Missionary Dept at Church Headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. They always said it was the BEST time of their lives other than raising their family!!!!
He attended Utah State University prior to going on his mission, and followed up with Weber State College after getting married. He maintained an A average despite working a full time job at Cream O'Weber in Ogden, Utah, and two part-time jobs at the college.
His favorite song was "My Boomerang Won't Come Back." This song came from his mission experience in Australia. He played it so often that his kids and grandchildren had it memorized.
He made friends easily, and unselfishly, and with such a fun sense of humor and kindness.
His two favorite phrases include, "The choices you make determine your destiny," and "Oh yes, the past can hurt. But from the way I see it, you can either run from it, or…learn from it." He taught these to his Primary class and to his family.
He was always, always supportive of anything his family and extended family participated in from sports, music, or whatever.
He is survived by his sweetheart wife, Nedra Lynne Frodsham Fuller of 55 years, his sons and daughters, Audrey Lynne (Mike) Forbush, Kim (Stacie L.) Fuller, Jeremy (Laree) Fuller, Heidi Fuller (Brian Cornwell), Tyler (Mary) Fuller, Kevin (Stacie D.) Fuller, Casey (Shauna) Fuller and Tifini (Jack) Richmond, brothers: Niles (Leola) Fuller, Roy (Nancy) Fuller, sisters: Elda (David) Jones and Myla (John) Prendiville. Many wonderful and treasured grandchildren, great grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and grandparents, and special friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents: Howard Reuben Fuller and Ina Claire Phillips Fuller, Father and Mother-in-Law, Dan Leroy Frodsham and Audrey Winona Larsen Frodsham, and great grandson, Alexander Pentico.
He didn't ever meet his mother-in-law, as she died when his wife was 9 years old, so he was anxious to be able to meet her. He was reaching up toward the ceiling and looking upward as he passed, so the family felt he was welcomed home to Heaven by his parents and possibly his parents-in-laws. He was the "Best of the Best".
The service will be held April 20, 2019 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 10305 E. Southern Ave., Mesa, Arizona 85208 at 9:00 a.m. Noble Ward Crossroads: Southern Ave. and Crismon.
Karen ran a really good restaurant on 24th street in Ogden. When we were in the vicinity, Judy and I along with friends would stop there and eat. At times we would catch Karen and she would stop and talk to us. One of her most popular dishes was Crusty Chicken. We almost always ordered it; it was so good. One time she told us about the recipe. She dreamed it one night; woke up and wrote it down. It must have been quite a dream because I have never found anything else that quite measures up to her dreamed-up Crusty Chicken.
