Allen Tommy Nelson

Saturday morning April 25, 2026 marked the end of a beautiful life on this earth. Allen Tommy Nelson slipped away peacefully at age 77 to be reunited with his wonderful parents and grandparents. He was born on December 6, 1948, in American Fork, Utah to Bruce and Earlene (VanWagoner) Nelson. He was a proud son, father, and friend, whose deep love for his family and community shone brightly throughout his life.

Allen was a smart and kind-hearted man, never hesitating to lend a helping hand or share a smile, even in the face of his own health struggles. He faced life with incredible patience and grace, showing all of us what it means to be gentle and loving, especially during challenging times. His dedication to those around him was evident in every interaction - he truly embodied the spirit of kindness.

A devoted father, Allen cherished every moment spent with his children. He is survived by his sons, Matthew Nelson and Marc (Erica) Nelson, his grandson Rio, stepdaughters Angie Wagstaff and Jodi (Todd) Brimhall, and his siblings Lyle (Sherrie) Nelson, Lori (Jeff) Bennett, and Kari (Kurt) Schwendiman.

He served honorably in the Navy during the Vietnam War. Later in life, he took on the role of mail carrier with the USPS, where he enjoyed connecting with the community. It was clear to all who knew him how much he adored his family. His mother always held a special place in his heart. There is no doubt it was a joyful and tender reunion for them.

Allen's adventurous spirit led him to serve a mission for the LDS Church in Uruguay, where he embraced the culture and grew in his love for his Savior and those he served.

He had a great love for the outdoors. He enjoyed hiking and fishing.

He will always be remembered for the stories he would tell, and the memories he shared. He will be deeply missed, and never forgotten. In honor of Allen's remarkable life, a viewing will be held at 9:45 am on Wednesday, May 6, 2026 at Anderson & Sons Mortuary 49 East 100 South in American Fork. A graveside service will follow at Alpine Cemetery at 11:00 am.

As we remember Allen Tommy Nelson, let us carry forward his legacy of kindness, intelligence, and a love for life that touched everyone he met. His spirit will forever live on in our hearts.

Ada Beth Threet

Our sissy, Ada, went home on April 11, 2026 at 6:45 PM, while being held in her loving parents arms. Ada Beth Threet was born on August 27, 2025 to Tyler and Alyssa Threet, in Provo Utah, sister to Cohen Threet. Shortly after birth Ada was diagnosed with a terminal condition, Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia, she fought much longer than was expected and we enjoyed every moment with our little old lady.

In life Ada was a gatherer. She had a visitor nearly every day and she brought together so many people. Ada truly encompasses so many of Christ's attributes of faith, hope, charity, and perfection. Having her in our home was like having a sliver of the divine with us at all times. Ada gave many opportunities for people to serve, to gain perspective, to feel peace, to see a glimmer of what Heaven is like, and to feel the love God has for each of His children. He sent her here with that very special mission and she accomplished that and more in her short 7 months.

Ada Beth spent all her time surrounded by loving family and friends. She went everywhere we did and got to experience a lot of things. These experiences include museums, train rides, the mountains, several holidays from Halloween to Easter, a bull riding competition, and so much more though her absolute favorite thing to do was swimming.

Ada loved spending time with her big brother Cohen. If Cohen was out of bed she wanted to be up too. She loved his kisses and hugs and the sounds of him playing. They both enjoyed playing excavators and chase together. The snowman movie (Frozen) will always be theirs now. They watched it together often, and it was the movie they were watching together when Ada crossed over to the other side of the veil. Cohen always wanted Ada included, making sure she had clothes and shoes to go outside (they were always his clothes and shoes he shared), and that she had a matching toy to play with. He never wanted to leave her behind when doing an outing.

Ada's favorite place was in daddy's arms. Daddy was the one who could always calm her, who held her just right, who was her safe place. Daddy always treated her as the little munchkin she was. He never was scared to play with her, to tease her, to give her the real dad experience. She was his snuggle bug and sweet companion.

Ada was mommy's other half and they were never too far from each other. Ada was always a very dedicated nap partner and wasn't shy to snooze away. The comfort and peace she felt while her mommy was close could be seen on her serene little face every time they were together. Ada and mommy shared lots of kisses, pedicures, crafts, dances, and time together.

Because she is better than all of us, she had a short mission to fulfill here on earth. She accomplished it and she was able to go home, but Ada chose to stay for longer, just for us. Ada's impact is deep, and will continue to be far reaching. She is deeply wanted and will always be deeply missed. Our lives were much richer with her in it.

She is survived by her parents Tyler and Alyssa, and her doting brother Cohen. Grandparents Benjamin and Malynda Threet, David and Jennifer Blackburn. Aunts and uncles BreAnna and Dylan Anderson, Emily and Jeff Skalla, Riley Livingston and Hayden Westfall, Tara and Bud Hobbs and Madison Threet. And her loving cousins, Paisley and Hazel, Lincoln and Oakley, and Cienna. As well as countless extended family and the many friends she made in her short life.

She is preceded in death by her namesake, auntie Beth Malmborg. Great grandparents Marva and Tom Watson, Que and Barbara Blackburn, and Gary Livingston.

To our friends and family: it takes a village to raise a child, but we would argue that it takes a city to bury one. Thank you for being our city. From checking in on us, to meals, money, laundry, cleaning, gifts, yard and livestock care, to watching or offering to watch our Cohen or dog Governor, running errands and getting us supplies and being our soundboard, a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, and most importantly sharing a laugh together. We could not have done this without you all. Thank you for loving our girl.

A special thanks to all those who helped us take care of our Ada girl. First, thank you to the staff at Utah Valley NICU, specifically Dr. Susan Morelli, who told us of our little babes prognosis so delicately and Dr. Nick Carr for helping us get her home, as well as our dear nurses who looked after and loved her, Kiah, Audrey, Danielle, Eliza, Shannon, Alice, Heather and Ashlee, as well as our lovely respiratory therapists Reggie and Lynn. Thanks to all who were in the periphery in the NICU as well who we were not able to meet but who helped our little one.

Thank you to the staff at Gold Cross Ambulance and the Life Flight Team who helped us bring her home.

Thank you to the Elliots and Dexters for her casket.

Thank you to the Watson and North family for our family burial plots.

Thank you to Fishbowl Inventory for the payment of her funeral and headstone.

Thank you to our care team with Rainbow Kids, Primary Children's, and Intermountain Hospice for their unwavering care and attention, Dr. Nick Braukmann, Melissa and Celeste, as well as Mike and Andrew, Nabila and Dr. Jennifer Keene.

Thank you to her therapists who helped keep her comfortable, Jake, Paul, and Steph with Kids on the Move and The School for the Deaf and the Blind. And Lifecare Specialty Pharmacy for keeping her comfortable.

Thank you to Dr. Jesse Alba and his office with Alpine Pediatrics for taking on her pediatric care and supporting her.

Thank you to Gavin Solt for giving us the courage to medicate her and not shy away from the things that could ease her pain and suffering.

Ada's medical team, as large as it was, was always at our beck and call, literally. Thank you so much for making her life comfortable and happy, she truly did get the care she needed in life and in death.

All are welcome to attend either/both viewings and her funeral. Little ones are welcomed to attend as well, Ada loved having other kiddos around her.

Viewing will be Thursday, April 16th from 6-8PM.

Celebration of life is Friday, April 17th. Viewing before the funeral from 10:45-11:45AM, her funeral service will start at 12PM. Both viewings and funeral service will be held at the Lindon chapel at 320 W 500 N, Lindon 84042. A live-stream link will be provided below for the service.

If we may, we would like to ask that all who attend the celebration of life to wear as brightly colored clothes as you already own or flower print ties or dresses. In true celebration of Ada, we want the chapel and grave site to be as bright and vibrant as possible though please, do not go out and purchase anything for the event. It is not a requirement and we will love your support in any form it comes in.

A private internment will follow to those personally invited at Heber City Cemetery and will be followed by a private luncheon.

Elaine Smith

Edith Elaine Brown SmithJanuary 26, 1928 - April 8, 2026

With deep love and gratitude, we celebrate the extraordinary life of Edith Elaine Brown Smith, who passedaway peacefully 8 April 2026, at the age of 98, in Los Ayala, Nayarit, Mexico.

Elaine was born January 26, 1928, in American Fork, Utah, to Frank William Brown and Edith Jones Brown.From an early age she learned to work on the family farm and developed an ethic for hard won achievement and excellence. She proudly declared to children and grandchildren that as a youth she could outwork any of the men on the farm. She had an innate love for learning, music, and the wider world—passions that would shape the course of her remarkable life.

She was an artist and a musician at heart, earning a degree in music (organ) from Whitman College. She studied art and oil painting at BYU and the University of Utah. A lifelong learner and educator, Elaine had a deep love for traveling and for reading, especially about countries, history, and biographies. She taught the power of education and instilled that value in her children and grandchildren, encouraging curiosity, discipline,and a lifelong pursuit of knowledge. She truly believed “You can accomplish anything that you set your mind to.”

Elaine shared a beautiful love story with her husband, Morris, her lifelong friend and sweetheart. They were married in 1947 and built a life defined by partnership, devotion, and shared adventure. Together they traveled the world, flew their private airplane, piloted their 45-foot motorsailer along the coast of Mexico, and faithfully served throughout their lives in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Morris preceded her in death in 2013.

Elaine’s life was not only long, but filled with richness of purpose, faith, and deep commitment. She is remembered as a woman who embraced adventure, painted life and people with her own palette of vibrant colors and gave generously to those she loved deeply and sought to uplift. Her legacy is in her family, the village she cherished, the many lives she touched through her devotion to faith, education and service, and in her art and her music.

Elaine lived with courage and independence, embracing life fully and generously. In her later years, she made her home in Mexico, where she found deep purpose and belonging. She developed a profound love for the village of Los Ayala and its people, becoming an integral part of the small community. Her compassion was expressed through action—she ensured that children had shoes, school uniforms, and clothing, and she provided funds for transportation and scholarships so they could continue their education. She also created a library in the village, reflecting her enduring commitment to learning and opportunity.

Elaine’s life was grounded in love for her family. She is survived by her sister, JaNae Brown Mattingly; her three beloved children and their spouses Scott (Karen), Stephanie (Paul), Sharmon (Susan); and generations of grandchildren who carry forward her legacy of achievement, strength, creativity, faith, and compassion. She was preceded in death by her brother, Frank Robert Brown, and her beloved husband, Morris James Smith.

The memorial service honoring Elaine will be held at Anderson & Sons Mortuary, 49 East 100 North American Fork, Utah on Friday, April 17,2026, at 11:00 am.In lieu of flowers, we invite you to support your favorite charity.

Michael Georgeson

Michael Georgeson shuffled off this mortal coil on April 7, 2026, at the age of 86. Born on March 20, 1940, to Don and Jean Georgeson; he was the oldest of 10 children. Michael made his home in American Fork, Utah, where he lived a life filled with love, laughter, and service.

He loved the outdoors and going camping, sharing the love with others. He loved experiencing new places and people, but also enjoyed the solitude found in the wilderness. He hiked through the mountains many times as a Scoutmaster, instilling confidence and values of kindness, respect, and curiosity for all who participated in these hikes. He was awarded the Silver Beaver award in 1999.

Michael was a passionate teacher, teaching everything from algebra to life skills. He found a way to connect with people where they were and helped them with whatever they needed. He loved reading, and instilled that love to his family. He always had his nose in several books at a time, and thought there were always new things to learn. His door was open, and he reached out and helped many with an open heart and hand.

Michael served a full-time mission to Australia. He later attended BYU where he graduated from bachelorhood after marrying his eternal sweetheart, Elaine Christensen, on September 10, 1965, in the Manti, Utah, temple. A couple of years later, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in engineering science.

He loved the arts, more so after he married, and thoroughly enjoyed attending the Utah Shakespeare Festival, practicing photography, and appreciating the work of James Christensen. He had a wicked and dry sense of humor, which he kept hidden until he got to know someone, which surprised many people. It was an enduring quality because life would be boring without it!

He was dedicated to his engineering profession, spending many years at Utah's Department of Environmental Quality. He served many years on the American Fork Planning Commission where he helped shape the future of the city. He worked hard for everything. When he was 16, he worked on a neighbor's farm, and did not stop working until shortly before his passing. As a life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, he served in many callings, including bishop, high councilor, and his favorites, serving as gospel doctrine teacher and ministering brother.

One of Michael's defining characteristics was his love for his family, not just his children and his siblings, but all his extended family. They were all very important to him, and he took great pains to maintain those connections.

Michael is survived by his wife, Elaine Georgeson, and their children: David (Joni) Georgeson, Michelle Georgeson, Darin (Kris) Georgeson, Eric (Tammy) Georgeson, Denise (Adam) Hunsaker, Elyse (Duane) Bennett, Deanne (Ernie) Clayton, and Matt (Jenni) Georgeson, his 18 grandchildren, and his siblings Richard, Donna, Neil, Glenna, Gary, Bob, Kathy, and Loralee. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Ted.

We invite family and friends to celebrate Michael's life with us. A viewing will be held on Friday, April 17 from 6-8 pm at Anderson and Sons Mortuary 49 East 100 North American Fork Utah 84003. We will gather again on Saturday, April 18, for funeral services at 11 am at the American Fork Stake Center, located at 240 S Center St. A viewing will take place one hour prior to the service, ending at 10:45 am. Interment will be in the Richfield City Cemetery.

In the spirit of Michael's adventurous life and love for family, we encourage everyone to share stories and memories that reflect the spirit he brought into our lives.

The funeral services will be live streamed. Please click here for the link.

Dixie Ridd Johnson

Dixie Ridd Johnson passed away peacefully on April 4th, 2026, in Payson, Utah. She was born in Salina, Utah, on January 17, 1939, to George Miller Ridd and Clarice Taylor Ridd. Dixie loved living in Salina and was very active in school and community activities. She learned to play the piano and accordion when she was young and excelled in school. Dixie adored her parents, sisters and cousins and spoke of them often.

Dixie’s family moved to Salt Lake when she was in high school, and she graduated from Olympus High School. She met her future husband, Bryan Kent Johnson, at her high school Lagoon Day, and this began a beautiful love story that would continue for over 70 years and beyond.

Dixie took classes at LDS Business College and became a skilled secretary.

After spending a summer working at a ranch in Big Piney, Wyoming, Bryan proposed to Dixie, and they were married on January 10, 1957, and later sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple.

Bryan and Dixie had many adventures during their 69 years of marriage, including raising four children, building three houses, becoming real estate agents and both working for IFA, with Mom in the Salt Lake office and Dad managing the American Fork store.

Dixie was a wonderful and devoted mother, and her love for her husband and children was the focus of her life. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and taught in the Primary, Young Women and Relief Society organizations. She had a tender, caring and humble heart.

She also worked as a skilled secretary for over 20 years. She was dependable, hard working and organized at home and at work. Her warmth, sense of humor and devotion to her family were her trademarks.

Bryan and Dixie lived in Hunter, Alpine, Spring City and St. George, Utah, and formed many dear friendships in each of those places. They loved to travel and spend time in the mountains and on road trips.

Bryan and Dixie have been amazing parents, grandparents and great-grandparents who loved nothing more than spending time with family. Their love for their family and devotion to each other has been a blessing to us, and we are forever grateful for Mom's influence in our lives. We look forward to being with her again.

Dixie is survived by her husband, Bryan Kent Johnson, her sons Scott (Leslie) Johnson, Devin (Deanna) Johnson, and daughters Jaime (Craig) Clement and Valerie (Mike) Long, along with her sister Bunny (Dan) McArthur. She and Bryan have 18 grandchildren and 32 great- grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Clarice Ridd, her sister, LaDawn (Loring “Bud”) Nielson, and a grandson, Dustin Demoine Johnson.

Dixie will be laid to rest in the American Fork City Cemetery. Funeral services will be held Friday, April 10th, at 11:00 am at the Anderson and Sons Mortuary Lone Peak Chapel located at 6141 West 11000 North, Highland, Utah. Friends and family are invited to attend a viewing at the mortuary from 9:45 - 10:45 am on Friday prior to the service.

Our family would like to thank the many wonderful caregivers at Orchard View Assisted Living for their kindness and devotion to Bryan and Dixie these past few years. We are so grateful to them.

Dennis Richard Meyring

Dennis Richard Meyring

Dennis "Coach" Meyring passed away peacefully in St. George, Utah, on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 5:30 a.m. (right in time for morning workout). My father was born June 19, 1945, to Archer "Arch" Sutton Meyring Jr. and Sarah "Sally" Mildred Solomon. Arch and Sally had three children: Gene, Janet, and Dennis.

The Meyrings were raised with an excellent work ethic of dedication, positive attitude, attention to detail, striving to give 110%, and never giving up. This resulted in all three siblings leading successful lives, holding leadership roles, and setting good examples within their communities.

Dad discovered swimming at an early age and excelled in the sport. He graduated from Vallejo High School in 1963, then attended Vallejo Community College, where he made All-American under the dedicated coaching of Frank Whitmore. After achieving his associate degree, Brigham Young University recruited Dad to lead their swimming team, and he was the team captain. My father held many swimming records, and many of them still stand today. In the past 5 years, Dad competed in the World Senior Olympics and posted a few more. Dad was very humble about his achievements; we would find boxes of medals and search the internet to see his records.

The Meyrings were not a faith-based family. Dad knew nothing about Mormonism when he began at BYU. However, after falling in love with our mother, Linda McEuen, he realized the only way Linda would allow their relationship to continue was if he joined the Church. Well, that "sealed the deal." Dennis and Linda were married in the Los Angeles Temple on June 3, 1967.

Dad finished his degree at Brigham Young, and the two lovebirds headed back to Oxnard, CA. When Dad arrived, he was again faced with stiff competition-names like Parrish, Suskin, and Raffaelli. Fortunately, Dad had a father-in-law named Andy McEuen (first principal at Hueneme High and current assistant superintendent), and suddenly a new pool was built to start a swimming program. Dad had many great swimmers and developed top-level teams for the next 15 years.

Over the course of those 15 years, Dennis and Linda started a family in 1970 and had eight (8) children.

Struggling to provide for eight children, Dad left his career in education and took a construction management job in Seattle. The economics and lack of partnership caused a strain on my parents' marriage, ending in divorce.

While working in Seattle, Dad started a pen pal relationship with a wonderful woman in Utah named Vicki Sinclair Johnson, a single mother of four (4) children. They exchanged many letters prior to meeting. Shortly after meeting, they decided to get married on Valentine's Day 1987 and were sealed in the Provo Temple that August.

Dad and Vicki resided in American Fork, where they both were educators. Dad began a legendary swimming program and continued the program for over 45 years.

Dad and Vicki enjoyed 38 years together until her death in June 2025. We know he is thrilled to be reunited with his sweetheart Vicki, family, friends, and his favorite dog Molly.

Our father is survived by his children: Matthew Meyring (Melinda), Chad Meyring (Cate), Trevor Meyring, Tiana Kinnon (Matthew), Ryan Meyring (Kristy), Kayla Martz (Tyler), Betsy Pegler (Garrett), Linnae Edgeworth (Randall); Vicki's children: David Johnson, Douglas Johnson (Sara), Daniel Johnson (Camille), Julie Clark (Kelly), Wei Xie (Keeley), and Evelyn Johnson; and their combined grandchildren.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. at the American Fork Stake Center - 950 N 60 E, American Fork, Utah. A viewing will be held prior to the funeral service from 9:45-11:45 a.m. Interment will follow at the American Fork Cemetery. If you are having a hard time finding where Dad and Vicki's gravesite is, just look for the BYU swimming starting block with the green headstone.

Coach Meyring's two greatest passions in life were his family and coaching. Please consider donating to the Lehi High School Swim Team in lieu of flowers by using the QR code below. Your generous contribution will help continue the program he loved so deeply and keep his legacy alive in the hearts of future swimmers.

Daniel Abe Howard Orton

It is with heavy hearts but joyful memories that we celebrate the life of Daniel Orton who passed away at his home with the love of his life by his side on April 1, 2026. Dan loved spending time in the great outdoors, especially with a fishing pole in his hands and his sons, cousins, or friends by his side. As a young boy he learned how to fish in small streams with dry flies. Years later you could find Dan on the Boulder mountains in southern Utah with his cousin Jake, or his sons Dylan and Jase catching trophy brook trout, cutthroats and browns. Dan would even venture up to Alaska to fish for pike. He also loved hunting and had unwavering support for the Dallas Cowboys. A true enthusiast of life, Dan could make any outing an eventful and fun-filled adventure.

Dan married his high school sweetheart, Liz, in the Timpanogos Temple on June 5, 1999. They were soul mates who always loved spending time together. They have 4 beautiful children. Dylan, Dallas, Mekenzie and Jase. As much as he loved spending time with his boys outdoors, it could never quite equal the joy of sharing the gift of drawing with his daughter Mekenzie. He was good, but she was better. He always called her his pretty girl.

Dan's spirit was truly revealed in his role as an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He loved working with the young men not only in his ward but with all the young men in his stake. His special talent was making each young man feel that he was valued and could do hard things. He was often found sharing his warmth, humor, and wisdom while coaching youth sports. Known for making everyone laugh, Dan could always be counted on to deliver a perfectly timed joke, enhancing the lives of those around him.

He is lovingly survived by his devoted wife Liz Orton, their children Dylan (Madison) Orton, Mekenzie (Conner) Fredrickson, and Jase Orton, as well as his beautiful granddaughter Lainey. He will be deeply missed by those who knew him, including the many young men he mentored and the countless friends he made along his journey.

Dan was preceded in death by his father, Alan Orton, and his beloved son, Dallas Orton.

In honor of Dan's remarkable life, a viewing will be held on Sunday, April 5,2026 from 6 PM to 8 PM at Anderson and Sons Mortuary in Highland at 6141 W 11000 North Highland UT.

Funeral services will take place the following day, Monday April 6, 2026, at 11:00 am at Manila Creek 7th Ward 1320 W 3540 N Pleasant Grove, Utah. There will be a viewing one hour prior to the service.

Join us as we come together to celebrate Dan's life, share stories, and remember the joy he brought into our lives. He would want nothing more than for us to gather in laughter and love in his memory.
