Viewing Update

Walker Mortuary isn't big enough to accommodate a family as big as ours, as well as the general public.  So there will be a special family viewing before the general viewing Sunday night from 5:00-6:00.  The public viewing will begin at 6:00 PM.

Obituary

Verle Mc Noyes of Morgan left this world on Sept. 3, 2012. He was born in Hanksville, Ut. On Aug. 2, 1920 to John Henry (Hyrum) and Edith Jane McDougal Noyes. He was the seventh of eight children. At age 5 the family moved to Idaho and settled in the Burley/Declo area.

Mc married Doris Egbert in 1943 in the Salt Lake LDS temple. They farmed a few years in Idaho then moved to Morgan Utah in 1949.

Mc provided for his wife and thirteen children by dairying and farming. He also worked at the Union Pacific Railroad, at the Morgan County Building, and at Clarks Feed and Seed.

Mc’s church service included; serving in two bishoprics, scouting and the young men’s organization. His favorite church service, however, was teaching the gospel and bearing his testimony. Doris and Mc served a proselytizing mission to Alabama and a temple mission to Washington D.C.

Mc was a member of the Utah Farm Bureau and American Dairymen’s Association. He served on the Morgan Co. School Board for 14 years. During that time he was instrumental in getting the DATC built. Mc also served on the Milton Cemetery Committee and was instrumental in many of the improvements there.

Mc is survived by 12 of his children: Verla Hasler, Don, Eva Clark, Marie Phippen, Gale, Lloyd, Joyce Miley, Marilyn Hardman, John, Norman, Nina Anderson, and Jane Williamson. He had 74 grandchildren, 150 plus great grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren.

His wife Doris, a daughter Barbara Iverson and a grandson Andy Iverson preceded him in death.

Special thanks to Marilyn and Steven Hardman, and their family, for their tender care, which allowed Mc to stay in his home the last seven years. Also thanks to Access Hospice for their compassionate help in his final days.

We Love You Grandpa!

Our sweet Grandpa passed away Monday, September 3, 2012 at around 11:35 PM.  He had been surrounded by his children and those who love him that evening, and passed away very peacefully after having seen each of his children that day.  We love and will miss him dearly.

They changed Grandpa's med routine and he has slept peacefully since then. He's been mumbling in his sleep the last hour or so but it has all been in his sleep.

After Marilyn posted last night Grandpa was VERY agitated and spent the whole night restless.  He tried all night to get out of bed, take his clothes off, and pulling his catheter out.  He was throwing punches at Marilyn and Steven, and using language he hasn't used since he was milking cows.  Needless to say Marilyn and Steven did not sleep last night, they both had to be holding him down all night so he wouldn't work himself out of his bed and end up on the floor.  The nurse finally decided they had better change his medication routine, and after they did that they he finally slept.  He has been sleeping since about 6:00 AM, and will hopefully finally get some sleep.

Sunday Sept 2 10:25 pm

Dad took a long time to settle down tonight.  I hope he sleeps good now.
He enjoyed the visitors that came all evening and bore his testimony to each of them.
It was quite tender.

At one point he asked me when the viewing was.  I told him he hadn't died.  He was sure confused .

Yesterday in the middle of the day he asked why the headlights were shining on him.

No one but God knows when his time to go home will be but he is anxious and ready.

Thanks to all of you for your fasting and prayers.

Grandpa slept for most of the morning and woke up when the priests came by do administer the sacrament. Since then he has been in and out but seems to be aware of what is going on and why people are stopping by to see him.  His neighbors, the Kearsleys, stopped by to see him and he bore a very strong testimony to them and said "On my death bed I want you to know, I know this church is true!"  I think he would want all his posterity to know this.

Feel free to come by and visit him.

Grandpa was restless and determined to get out of his bed last night. Marilyn and Steve helped him get into his wheelchair at one point hoping that it would appease him but then he was determined to get out of it. He is resting peacefully now, and he is even laying on his side, which is how he prefers to sleep.

If you are planning on stopping by to visit, it is a good idea to only have 2 people upstairs with grandpa at a time. And have the rest downstairs visiting. This way grandpa can rest if he needs to.

Marilyn's sibling please check your e-mails again.

Dads sleeping peacefully tonight. He has been awake for most of the day today and has been confused off and on, but mostly somewhat aware of what's going on.

Note to Marilyn's siblings. Please check your e-mails.

Grandpa had a surge of energy this morning and was more aware than he has been for several days. Tonight he is more confused and doesn't understand why he is in a hospital bed or why it is in the living room.

For those who want to stop by tomorrow, Marilyn will have PLENTY of food, so come hungry.

Saturday, September 1, 2012 12:30 PM

Grandpa seems to have a little more control of his mind today. He is still asleep most of the time but he hasn't mentioned numbers and seems to somewhat understand what's going on.

Last night Grandpa kept wanting to get out of bed and he had quite a bit of his strength back.  Enough that he kept swinging his legs over the side of his bed trying to get out.  Around 5:30 AM Marilyn and Steven got him out of his bed (and Grandpa actually had enough strength to help stand up a little bit), put him in his wheelchair, got him bathed, and fed him breakfast.  This morning the few comments he made were normal and not obsessing about numbers.

Remember we are having a special fast this fast sunday on his behalf.  Please keep him in your prayers, and those who are caring for him.  Nobody knows how many days he has left, but his days are numbered, please feel free to come and hold his hand if you feel you need to.  It may be beneficial not only for him but for you also.
