Our amazing, loving, beautiful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and best friend Kathryn Ann Wiley Godfrey Neibert lost her courageous battle to ALS on Sunday June 17th, 2018. Kathy was sealed in the Bountiful Temple to Robert Neibert. Kathy was a very kind, patient, loving person. She loved spending time with her family and friends, they were her greatest joy! In her spare time, she loved spending time doing genealogy. She loved going to the DI with her sweetie "Bob" to find treasures for all of her loved ones and dolls for herself. She loved sewing! She taught herself to sew and was an amazing seamstress, she could sew anything from PJ's to wedding dresses. Kathy fell in love with movies and music when she was a little girl while working with her siblings at the movie theater. She also loved taking photos and she fell in love with scrap booking. Kathy also enjoyed baking and decorating cakes. Kathy loved all of these things but mainly she loved serving people, it was such a passion of hers that it didn't feel like service to her but more like hanging out with her best friends. If you knew Kathy she made you feel like you were the most special person in the room and that you were part of her family. She was always willing to be there to help you, with a listening ear, a kind smile and with the best laugh. Her best gift is that she truly loved unconditionally, saw the best in everyone and saw you for who you were and loved you for it. Kathy will be greatly missed by all that knew her!

Janet H. Crook
It is with overwhelming sadness that the family of Janet H. Crook announces her sudden passing on June 10, 2018, at the age of 71. She passed away peacefully in her sleep while recovering from a heart procedure.
As we reflect on her life, we cannot help but smile about all the treasured memories of laughter and adventure we shared with her. She was happiest spending time with friends and family, no matter the place or activity—family events, overseas travel, ATV trips and just staying home watching movies. Janet could make anything into a fun and meaningful adventure.
She had a deep love for animals and adopted many into her family. Everyone who knew her and her cat, Spirit, wanted to come back in their next life as one of her cats.
Janet was raised in Salt Lake City and graduated from West High School. She married three times, sharing different segments of her life with each husband: Melvin Ivie, George McMullen and James Crook. She had three loving children.
Janet is survived by her mother, Maxine Murray DeVitt; brother, Murray (Elona); son, Dennis; daughters, Danielle (Craig) and Suzanne (Scott); and her many amazing grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her father, Theodore Hayward; and husband, James Crook.
A tribute service will be held June 22, from 6 to 6:45 p.m. at the Midvalley Stake Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1106 East 8050 South, Sandy. After the service, until 8 p.m., there will be an informal gathering for those wishing to reminisce and share memories.
