Doris Ann Passey Williams

Doris Ann Passey Williams, 85, beloved wife, mother, grandmother,
great-grandmother, dedicated teacher, temple worker and friend, died
peacefully on Thursday, August 17, 2006, at Williamsburg Retirement
Community, Logan, Utah. She was born October 17, 1920, in Logan, Utah, to Edward John and
Effie Budge Passey. She attended Whittier School, Logan Junior High
School, and graduated from Logan High School in 1938. She graduated
from Utah State University in 1942 with a bachelor's degree in English,
and taught at Ashton High School in Idaho before her marriage to Charles
Lewis Williams on June 22, 1943. They moved to Twin Falls, Idaho, in
September 1947, where they reared their family. She was an excellent homemaker, a loving, supportive wife and mother, and a good friend who liked to keep in touch. In September 1960 she began teaching English classes at O'Leary
Junior High School in Twin Falls. She was a very knowledgeable,
dedicated teacher who expected the best efforts from her students, not
only in the classroom, but in their everyday lives. She enjoyed
reading, traveling, learning new things and seeing new places. To our knowledge and memory, she never said a bad word about anyone. After her husband's death in October 1971, she continued to teach
until May 1985, when she retired, and later that year served a mission
at the London Temple. She moved back to Logan in 1986, and enjoyed
making new friends and reuniting with several friends from her school
days. From 1989-1990 she served a mission at the Atlanta Georgia Temple,
and upon returning to Logan, began serving as an officiator in the Logan
Temple, from November 1990 until November 2004. She thoroughly enjoyed
her service there. In March 2005 she moved into Williamsburg Retirement Community,
where she made several more new friends and, as usual, welcomed visits
from her family and friends. Survivors are a daughter, Ann Bedford Williams Calvert Tony of Logan; Kirk Edward Williams Jennifer of Boise; Ned Budge Williams Robyn of Laie, Hawaii, and Scott Willys Williams Lynette of Auburn, WA; 11 granddaughters, 4 grandsons, 4 great-grandsons with a great-granddaughter due in September. She was
preceded in death by her parents, one sister, Cleone Louisea Passey Mortensen of
Parowan, two brothers, Scott Budge Passey of Provo, and Howard Budge Passey of
American Fork, and an infant grandson, Charles Edward Calvert. Her family give special thanks to Dr. Douglas Hyldahl, Dr. Ali
Ben-Jacob, Scott Monson and the caring, competent staff members at
Williamsburg Retirement Community, and to the skilled, compassionate
care of the staff at Alpine Hospice. Funeral services will be held at 12:00 noon Monday, August 21, 2006 at the Logan 6th Ward Chapel, 94 West 600 South. Friends and family may call Monday at the church from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. prior to services. Interment will be in the Logan City Cemetery.
