Christie Davenport Leavitt

Christie Lynne Davenport Leavitt has gone to live with her mother Jennie Lynne Davenport and father Leland Dale Davenport in heaven. She leaves behind her husband Alma Leavitt as well as her most precious and loved possessions in the world which are her daughter Kayla Leavitt and son Justin Leavitt, both of whom she loves dearly, and she is so proud of.

She eagerly awaits the arrival of her yet to be conceived grandchildren on earth so she can love and watch over them as much as she has loved and watched over her own children.

She has left running around unsupervised all her younger siblings.

Christie Lynne was born on February 23, 1965, to Leland Dale and Jennie Lynne Davenport. In the evening of May 30, 2026, she left her earthly home to join her parents and other loved ones circled in the arms of her Loving Savior.

When she was born her parents felt like she was their miracle baby, arriving about four and a half years after they were married. Her mom said that she couldn’t believe that she finally had a baby of her own to hold and to love.

Over the next nineteen years Christie would be joined by five sisters and six brothers. She grew to love and cherish all of her siblings.

Christie had many ambitions in life. Which included but were not limited to crocheting, playing the flute and piano, playing all the sports with her young women classes as well as her love for being in nature. She learned to play the piano and taught herself to play the organ. Learning to play the organ allowed her to serve her ward family by accompanying the hymns sung in her ward sacrament meetings.

She grew up in Genola Utah on a thirty-six-acre farm. Being the oldest in such a large family taught her the value of hard work and left her with great determination to try to conquer the world. She attended elementary school in Goshen and then attended junior high and high school in Payson. Upon graduation from high school, she attended Utah Technical College in Provo earning her degree in Electronic Technology, which was a huge accomplishment since there weren’t many women who graduated in this field.

She met and fell in love with Alma Leavitt. They were married on September 22, 1989, in the Provo LDS Temple. To this union were born her two wonderful children, Justin and Kayla. She loved, cherished and served them until she became too sick to care for them anymore. Then it was their turn to help and serve her.

Christie had quiet determination and faith to face any challenges presented to her. The last couple of years haven’t been easy for her as she has fought the challenges of cancer with that quiet determination and faith. Family rarely heard her complain even when to others the challenges looked like they must be hard to bear.

Christie is proceeded in death by her parents, Dale and Jennie Lynne Davenport. As well as her in-laws Von and Beverly Leavitt whom she loved dearly. She was also proceeded in death by a brother-in-law Eric Hanger as well as many aunts, uncles and grandparents.

She is survived by her husband Alma, her siblings Michelle (Michael) Johnston, LaRinda (Trent) Taylor, Hyrum (Jennifer) Davenport, Mathew Davenport, Charles (Tonja) Davenport, Beth Hanger, Preston (Christy) Davenport, Aaron Davenport, Cecilia (Jason) Segedy. Linnea (Romney) Davis and Spencer (Carrie) Davenport. As well as many nieces and nephews. Also, Alma’s siblings Aleta Goodwin, Aundre, Adrein, Aver and Andrew, Leavitt.

The family wishes to thank all those who gave service or took care of Christie towards the end of her life. They ask that in leu of flowers that you either donate to the link on this page to help with her final expenses or donate to your favorite cancer organization.

Graveside service will be held at the Genola Cemetery on June 5, 2026, at 11:00 am. The Cemetery is located at 74 West 800 South in Genola.

Rulon Dee Aufdemorte

Rulon Aufdemorte went home to be with his Lord on Saturday May 23, 2026. He passed away at his home in Gig Harbor, Washington.

Rulon was born in Stockton, Utah November 26,1939 and lived there for most of his life, with the exception of living in Eureka, Utah for two years in early childhood. He moved to Washington in 2019 to be near his daughter, son-in-law and granddaughters.

He had many happy memories growing up in Stockton, and felt blessed to have had “the best mother in the world” and such happy memories of the adventures of staying with his father and big brothers for a few weeks in the summers at the mines in Dry Canyon where his dad worked. They stayed in the boarding cook shack and he had vivid memories of being a small child, sitting on dad’s lap on the ride up to Dry Canyon and feeling like he was in an airplane as he looked out over the valley.

He married Claudia Gayle Johnson on October 5, 1959, and although they later divorced, they remained on good terms to support and raise their daughter.

He was proud to serve the community in Stockton as a volunteer fireman and he operated heavy equipment for the Town of Stockton in Soldier Canyon to help save the water line during the big flood in the springtime of 1984. He was very honored to work on the historical committee for Stockton’s 150th anniversary in 2013. Stockton history was a passion and he wrote a two-part Stockton history report.

Tooele Transcript Bulletin readers may be familiar with his name as he wrote many letters to the editor that were published in the paper, as well as being included in a few articles. He was always unafraid to voice his opinions and concerns.

He began his work career in the Tooele Smelter, then worked in the Uranium Mines in the Henry Mountains. In 1964 he was hired at Bauer and worked in the resin and steam plants. He was very happy working at Bauer and it was a loss when the facility burned down in October 1980 and it was decided that it would not be rebuilt. He then went to work with his brothers, Frank and Bob Aufdemorte at the Mineral Equipment Company, and later worked at Dugway Proving Grounds and finished the last years of his work life as a boiler plant operator at the South Area of Tooele Army Depot. He retired in 2004.

He had many interests and hobbies. He enjoyed genealogy research on our family, and even traveled to Steinfeld, Germany to do research, which led him to a church where he found that the Priest there knew the family and helped him meet his cousins that day. His cousins later came to visit him in America and meet the rest of the family. He also wrote a history of his grandparents who immigrated from Germany and hosted a family reunion in Evanston, Wyoming to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of their wedding.

He loved Stockton and Utah State history. He took up watercolors in order to paint historical items, such as the charcoal kilns in Soldier Canyon as he didn’t want that history to be lost.

He enjoyed restoring classic cars and wood working and had built his own home in Stockton with plenty of room for his hobbies.

He enjoyed travel, nature and spending time with family, as well. He was delighted to spend the last few years living in Washington and going out exploring and to dinner with his daughter, son-in-law, granddaughters and great-grandson. He actively participated in the many activities and events offered at the community in Gig Harbor, Washington where he lived. While he loved going on scenic drives in the beautiful Puget Sound area, he maintained a strong love for his lifelong home in Stockton. He became a great fan of YouTube channel Offroad801 which gave him the ability to “visit” his old stomping grounds and explore the old mines and ghost towns he so loved, including Dry Canyon, Ophir and Soldier Canyon.

Rulon Aufdemorte was a good and decent man. He was hardworking, responsible and a good father, father-in-law, grandfather, uncle and friend. He was my dad and I could always count on him; we were able to express how we felt about each other a few weeks before he passed and I am so thankful for that conversation.

He is preceded in death by parents, Frank and Gladys (Bowers) Aufdemorte, and sisters Zelma Bowers Ahlberg, Gladys Louella Webb-Donaldson, Arlene H**e, Margaret Meli and brothers Robert Aufdemorte and Frank Aufdemorte.

He is survived by daughter Sheril Walters and son-in-law Bobby Walters, granddaughters Valerie Walters and Christina Cullen and their husbands, and great-grandson Bobby Cullen.

According to my dad’s wishes, he will be buried next to his grandparents Frank Arnold and Margaret Mary, (formerly known as Gretchen) (Schwalbe) Aufdemorte in the Eureka, Utah cemetery. Graveside services will be held June 9, 2026 at 11:00 am.

Connie Peterson Thornton

Connie Peterson Thornton, born October 4, 1938, passed away peacefully from complications of Alzheimer’s dementia on May 6, 2025. She was a beloved wife, mother, and friend. Born and raised in the small town of Santaquin, Utah, Connie lived a life dedicated to family and church.

Born 20 years after her oldest brother, Connie lovingly cared for both of her older parents, Soren Henry Peterson and Addie Armstrong Peterson, throughout her teen and early adult years. Her nuclear family included three brothers: Ainer (Mary Jane) Peterson, Wayne Peterson, and William Blaine (Rose) Peterson, and one sister: Aileen (Richard) Peterson Lant.

Connie was dedicated to her church—the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She had a remarkable experience when she was baptized and confirmed as a member of the church. She received the Holy Ghost at the time she was confirmed, and she received a strong testimony of the reality of God and the truthfulness of the church. Her parent did not attend church; they sent her instead. From a young age, she walked to church alone every Sunday, even if it was snowing. She never told her children that her path was uphill both ways, but at times it was very cold in the winter in Santaquin.

Connie served as Sunday School Secretary when she was a teenager, and she took her assignment very seriously despite her young age.

Connie graduated from Payson High school in 1957, where she loved to dance. She enjoyed attending the Sunday Payson band concerts with her friends. Soon after graduation, she met and married J Tyler Thornton, who was from Orem, Utah, on June 10, 1958. As young marrieds, they lived in Spanish Fork, Utah, Flaming Gorge, Utah, and Santaquin, Utah.

Connie raised four children: Julie Thornton, Jeffrey Thornton, Bradley (Renee) Thornton, and Christopher Thornton. Soon after her son Bradley was born in 1967, the family moved from Santaquin, Utah to Santa Ana, California. She lived in Santa Ana for the rest of her life.

Connie poured herself into her family, emphasizing love and church service. Connie showed her love for her family by taking really great care of them and building their faith. When her children were small, Connie taught them to pray, and she sat by their beds every night to hear their prayers, and she taught and testified to them frequently in words and by her actions of the reality of God and Jesus Christ from the time they were very young.

Connie was known for her baking. She baked homemade bread most days for Brad and Chris to eat when they came home from school. They would broil some homemade bread toast with grape jelly and munch it down while they watched afternoon police dramas. Later, she bought a bread maker, and her family enjoyed bread made that way for several years. She also baked pies for holidays, especially at Christmas. She would bake for days, and then she would give away all of her baked goodies to friends in the ward. In addition, she made her famous chocolate chip cookies all the time. She made these cookies for her kids to take to school for lunch. She always included a big bag of cookies in their brown bag lunches. These cookies were always popular with her children’s friends, so there were always enough so that her kids could eat all they wanted and then trade for other things their friends brought for lunch.

When Brad was in the hospital when he was about12 years old, Connie went to the hospital every day and sat with him and talked to him all day, encouraging him to get well. The nurses were amazed at her constant and consistent support, and they asked if he was her only child. They were surprised to learn that she had three other children!

Connie generally worked in the home, taking care of her children and babysitting the young children of other busy moms. She really loved young children, and the children she babysat were loved and treated like a part of her family. Once, a mother for whom Connie babysat arranged for another person to pick up her child. When the alternate person arrived to pick up the child, Conie got the child ready to go and then asked to see a driver’s license to be sure it was the right person. The woman who showed her Driver’s License told the mother that she was surprised at how much Connie cared about that child.

As her children grew, Connie continued to serve them and to serve others in the church. She had many friends among the sisters of her ward, and they spent time together and served one another as they raised their families. She was an excellent church visiting teacher for many years.

Family vacations were always road trips to Utah to see extended family. In this way, her kids stayed close to their cousins in Utah.

Connie supported her children as they participated fully in church activities, including driving them daily to seminary and to other activities when they were in junior high and high school. Connie was a Cub Scout leader and merit badge counselor for all three of her sons. She was briefly even a Scout Leader at one point for Jeff’s Scout troop. That didn’t last long. They had to find a male Scoutmaster because that group of Scouts once took turns jumping off the roof of her house while she was trying to lead a meeting. All three of her sons participated extensively in scouting, and Brad and Chris are both Eagle scouts.

In addition, Connie served in the Primary organization for most of her life, teaching Sunday lessons to children of many ages in her ward to help build their faith in Jesus Christ. Later, she served for many years in the ward library, handing out pictures and extra scriptures to teachers and members in the ward on Sundays and keeping the library organized.

Connie sang in the choir and included music in her family’s life. She enjoyed singing very much, even though she was never a soloist. Her family sang hymns and Primary songs a lot, and Connie often sang ‘Oh, What a Beautiful Morning” rather frequently (and loudly) to wake up tired teenagers.

Connie was a great strength to her children, and she was always willing to listen and give advice to help them face their challenges as they built their adult lives.

When her husband, Tyler, was diagnosed with leukemia, Connie took devotedly cared for him for the five years he fought the cancer. She went with him to all of his appointments and sat with him during his all-day infusions. She comforted him after his chemo treatments, and she tried to get him to eat whenever he could hold food down to build up his strength. Tyler passed away from the leukemia in 2002.

Later in life, Connie’s health declined so much that she was unable to attend church regularly, and she developed Alzheimer’s dementia over the last few years. Church members rallied around her and visited her frequently. Their visits always uplifted her spirits, and they were always very appreciated.

On May 6, 2025, Connie passed away peacefully at the Kaiser Sand Canyon Hospital in Irvine, surrounded by her loving family and caring medical personnel
