Departed: 09/01/2021 (South Salt Lake)

Obituary Preview: Thomas Clyde Aston passed away on September 1, 2021, after battling cancer. He was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia on May 3, 1953 to Samuel and Viola Birtcher Aston.

Tom grew up in Las Vegas and attended Rancho High School, then went on to Ricks College and BYU. At BYU, he met and fell in love with Diane Sumsion “Blondie”. She liked sports as much as he did, and it was a match made in heaven. They married on August 4, 1978 in the Salt Lake Temple and spent the next 43 years enjoying numerous shared hobbies and interests.

Tom showed his love and devotion to God by finding ways to serve others. He also served faithfully in every calling asked of him as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whether Bishop, counselor in the Stake Presidency, Young Men’s President, or primary teacher. As a young man, he served in the New England Mission, then later in life served with his wife in the California Ventura Mission. He also loved serving in the Bountiful Temple. As his health declined this year, he often said he never felt the Spirit so close.

Tom enjoyed a career in banking. He was a fun-loving person with no shortage of hobbies. In his younger years, he loved playing baseball and basketball. He later turned to running, hunting, camping, and traveling, until his true passion became golf. He was a devout Jazz and BYU fan, and loved attending the games. Not even a battle with cancer could keep him from doing the things he loved. He was busy having fun until the very end.

Tom was loving and a friend to all.

Tom is survived by his mother Viola, wife Diane, her parents Richard and LaPrele Sumsion, three siblings Gary Aston, Joyce Asay, Jared Aston, four children Stacey (Todd) Sears, Derek (Maxine) Aston, Leslie (Adam) Cuppett, Kelsy (Talmage) Call, and 14 grandchildren.

They will all greatly miss his infectious laughter and sense of humor. He was the life of the family parties.

Darrel Winningham - December 21, 1931 - August 26, 2021

Departed: 08/26/2021 (South Salt Lake)

Obituary Preview: Darrel passed away peacefully on August 26, 2021.  He was born December 21, 1931 in Medford, Oregon. He grew up in logging camps and then worked at a logging camp during his early years. He later settled in Yreka, CA and was a delivery driver for CalGas, drove for Stage (a commuter bus line), ran his own yard business, and then later worked in the sawmill.

He married Joan MacWilliams in 1982 and they moved to Phoenix, Arizona until they retired to “full-time RV-ing”. They loved RVing and traveling throughout the western states. In 2011 they parked the RV and settled in Logan, UT. Darrel loved to fish, hunt, sing and play his harmonicas.

In 2002 Darrel’s life changed dramatically when at 70 years old he accepted Jesus as his Savior. While in the logging camps he had heard the gospel but felt that it wasn’t for him. As the result of numerous conversations, he realized his need for forgiveness and became a new creation in Christ. He loved to study the Bible together with Joan each day until she passed away in July 2018.

Darrel loved breakfast, especially Saturday morning’s men’s breakfast/Bible study and breakfast with his “old geezer’s club” on Thursday mornings. He enjoyed making brownies and brought them to every church potluck.

Myra Kawa - May 28, 1935 - July 18, 2021

Departed: 07/18/2021 (South Salt Lake)

Obituary Preview: Heaven has gained our tiny singing angel, Myra Kawa, who passed away on Sunday, July 18 at age 86. She was born in Bingham, Utah, on May 28, 1935, to Hirokichi and Sato Kawaguchi.

Her father worked in the Bingham Canyon Mine, and Myra fondly remembered her childhood growing up in the canyon town that was centered around the famed copper mine.

Myra married the love of her life, Leo Kawa, in Ely Nevada, in 1952. Myra and Leo would move to Georgia since Leo was employed in the agricultural industry and worked in Gainesville, Georgia. They resided for many years in  Decatur, Georgia, where Myra gave birth to many of their seven children.

In 1974, Leo and Myra moved their family from Hot Springs, Arkansas, where they lived for a short time before moving back to Utah, where they both were born and raised. Myra became a widow at 48 years old and would live in Davis County, Utah, the rest of her life.

She was a loving mother to her many children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  She shared especially special relationships and loved spoiling Bridgett, Brandon, Ally, and Deanna. She would take Bridgett on weekly cab rides to the old Ogden City Mall for lunch at the Tiffin Room and shopping sprees at Nordstrom. Carl’s Junior was a favorite ‘date’ for her and Brandon.  Ally and Grandma loved getting their nails done and just spending many hours laughing together. Her and Deanna had a shared loved for sports including the PGA Tour Golf and the Utah Jazz. She carefully planned her weekly outfits, dressing up for all holidays especially the red, white and blue ensembles she sported for the 4th of July. Her huge walk in closet filled to the brim will attest to her love of clothes, purses, hats, and jewelry. She cherished all holidays, but Christmas and her birthday were her favorites when she was lavished with gifts galore, the more the merrier

She enjoyed trips to Wendover to play the dollar slots, shopping, shopping, and more shopping, dancing, cooking – her love language for her children (yummy rice balls were a favorite), good Japanese food especially sushi and dining at Sizzler and Cracker Barrel. Myra had a passion for Scrabble that she shared with her children and watching game shows like “Jeopardy.”  She also loved ‘short’ family visits.

She enjoyed traveling, and visited the land of her ancestry, Japan, in 2006, and took a bus tour of Shizuoka Prefecture, where her parents were born, and took in a Japanese pro baseball game. She loved New York City, visiting Barry and Yumiko in Dallas and Cherilyn and Mike in San Diego.

For many years, she was a favorite at the North Davis Senior Center in Clearfield. She played a mean game of Bingo there and participated in their sing-alongs.

Music was an important part of Myra’s life. She enjoyed singing all the oldies from her childhood and went to see many of her favorite performers in concerts in Salt Lake City, including Diana Ross, Charlie Pride and Neil Diamond including winning a song contest where she was featured on the Jumbotron during a Neil Diamond concert.

She is survived by two sons, Randy (Janice) and Barry (Yumiko), and four daughters, Cherilyn (Mike), Donna (Steve), Denise (Corey), Lori (Jim), and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by husband, Leo, son Gordie, both parents, and brother Sadao and sisters Mary Tadehara (Yukiyei) and Ikuye Hirano (Henry).

She is survived by two siblings, Rose Kamaya (Joe deceased) and Billy Kawaguchi (Keiko).

We will miss our sweet happy mother and the “best Grandma ever” but she died on her terms, in her own bed, surrounded by her loving family, and was welcomed with open arms by our dad and her oldest son, Gordie, who she missed so very much.

Special thanks to Pheasant View Assisted Living and Apple Tree for their loving care and many games of Bingo and fun outings. A celebration of life will be held with lots of sushi!
