So sorry to hear about Tam! I know it's been a struggle for her these last few years, but she was a shining light in our class. She was loved by all and will be sorely missed. I'll post any details on services when they become available.

This is very sad news about the passing of Tam… one of our precious friends, classmate and shining star of goodness.

My condolences and prayers of comfort are offered to her dear family during this difficult time.

Obituary

Tamra JoEll Swenson Cobbley of Mapleton, Utah, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 15, 2023 surrounded by her family after a two-year battle with breast cancer.

She was born April 22, 1951, to John Carl and JoEll Meyrick Swenson in Provo, Utah. She grew up in Springville and loved to socialize, play the piano, dance, and sew. She married her high school sweetheart, Boyd G. Cobbley, 6 weeks after graduation, on July 11, 1969, in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. Together they welcomed six children.

Tamra showed Christ-like love for all— young, old; rich, poor; she loved everyone and was able to connect with people at every turn. She was never one to hold still as there were people to serve, things to do, and moments to celebrate. She made everyone feel welcomed and wanted. Our beloved “Red Squirrel” loved to garden, quilt, travel the world, and go to Starbucks with her grandkids.

She was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in many auxiliaries including Relief Society, Young Womens, and Primary. She played the piano and organ beautifully and blessed the wards she lived in with her talents. She loved coordinating activities as the Ward Activities Chair, and just before her death was campaigning hard for a gig in Primary when her health would allow.

Tamra is survived by her husband; five children, Sheila (Kenneth) Nelson, Gilbert, AZ; Marsha (Daniel) Provonsha, Queen Creek, AZ; Daniel (Brittney) Cobbley, Lehi, UT; Alison (DJ) Broadbent, Spanish Fork, UT; and Benjamin Cobbley, Mapleton, UT; 13 grandchildren; one great grand-daughter; and her siblings Kenneth (Debbie) Swenson, Salem, UT; David (Melissa) Swenson, Price, UT; Elaine (Todd) Olsen, Springville, UT; and Paula (John) Averett, Springville, UT. She was preceded in death by her parents and daughter, Sharon.

A viewing will be held Thursday, February 23, 2023 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at Wheeler Mortuary-Mapleton, 82 West 400 North, Mapleton, Utah, and again on Friday morning from 9:30 - 10:30am at the LDS Church, 1050 N. 300 West, Mapleton, Utah. Funeral services will be held Friday, February 24, 2023  at 11:00am at the LDS Church, 1050 N. 300 West, Mapleton, Utah. Interment will be at the Provo City Cemetery, 610 S. State Street, Provo, Utah.

This is a reminder that a while ago we talked about going to T-Bone this Thursday, the 9th, in memory of Denny Robertson and some of our other departed classmates. Please join us if you can at 6:00 pm!

David Lynn

Thanks Daryl.

Daryl Tucker

A good time at T-Bone last night! Here are a couple of photos Carl Haymond took of some of those present. 

Clint Bailey, Richard Hjorth, Carl and I  were also there!

Happy birthday 🎈🎉 David. Hope you have a great day. Party hard for all of us. 

David Lynn

Happy Birthday Stuart and congrates on Jared.

Daryl Tucker

It's been pretty quiet on the forum lately. I talked with Carl Haymond yesterday and we both think we should try and get together as a class before the end of summer. We were thinking maybe this time we get it catered to make it easier on everyone. If we went to a restaurant we'd probably spend as much anyway..Carl threw out this suggestion for the caterer:

What do you all think of the idea?

David Lynn

Why do they have dogs on firetrucks?

To find the hydants.

Carl Haymond

Good one - David!!!  

Daryl - Thanks you for suggesting a class get together.  The evening of either August 18th (Friday) or August 19th (Saturday) for our class gathering works best for me.

If we have the food catered, Keoki's Kitchen looks good and is recommended by Jill.  Potluck works for me as well... either way will add to a fun time.

Congrats Ken, about time. Maybe we could have a reception.

Daryl Tucker

Eric Bird has been generous to let us use his backyard again for a class get-together. We are setting it for September 2nd. We are thinking of hiring a caterer depending on all your feelings. We'd need to know by August 9th if you can come and if you want a catering option. ($15 to $20 per person.) Who can make it and what do you prefer for a dinner option?

Blair Packard

Cindy and I would like to join the group for this dinner on Sept 2nd. We could probably make other dates that work for the group as well. We look forward to catching up with everyone. 

Mart E. (Gardner)

Glenn's and I are planning on coming. We like the catering.  

Carl Haymond

Thanks Daryl for organizing a class gathering/meal and thanks to Eric for hosting our get together!

We are planning to attended and will be able to helpout where needed. We will be available on any date that works for the group. It will be a fun time!

Douglas Wheeler

Kris and I will be there let us know the time and amount
