He was also involved in LDS Church sports, and was an excellent fast-pitch softball player; he was a great pitcher and outfielder. His teams participated in the All-Church tournaments in Salt Lake City nearly every year Keith played, and he was named to the Senior All-Star team in 1956 & 1959.
In 1961, the family moved to Moses Lake, Washington, where Keith had accepted a job with U & I Sugar Company.

He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served faithfully in many capacities.
His dream was to move back to Mendon and raise registered Hereford cattle with his father, John O. Hughes.
He became ill on a Saturday, and thought he had food poisoning. He was admitted to the LDS Hospital in Idaho Falls, Idaho, on Tuesday, and passed away on Wednesday, Aug. 20, 1969. He had been diagnosed as having acute myloblastic leukemia. It was later found that he probably contracted this disease as a result of working as County Agent in Washington County, Utah, where nuclear testing had given rise to fall-out. This radioactive fall-out affected many people and eventually caused their demise from leukemia and other diseases.

I have a strong testimony of the Church and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Dad and Mom enjoyed 60 wonderful years of grand adventures together, beginning with time in New York as Dad served in the U.S. Army.
Dad was the foundation of our family, caring for Mom and helping his children. Rarely did a day go by without one of us calling Dad for advice on cooking, gardening, house care or cars. He has taught us all that we know and is largely responsible for all our successes.
Dad's loves included his family, serving as a Bountiful Lion for over 30 years, raising a beautiful garden, sharing the vegetables he raised, telling stories, saying whatever was on his mind to anyone, and cooking and eating the "perfect meal".
He is survived by his wife Earlene, Children: Greg (Lisa), Judy (Jodi), Daren (Donna), Teresa Peterson (Kelly), Grandchildren: Amanda Jenkins (Tyler), Jessica, Alli, Jacob, Tara, and Great-grandchildren: Aspen, Noah, Eli, Lucy, Texas, and Frankie.

She is finally able to be raising a ruckus with Arlee and elbowing Paul in the ribs.
Our mother was a caretaker. We always felt loved and knew she was there for us. She taught us it was o.k. to be different; if you wanted to dip your tuna fish sandwich in grape juice do so! We will miss her sense of humor and her listening ear. Her love for her grandchildren was immeasurable.
She is survived by her children, Greg (Lisa), Judy (Jodi), Daren (Donna),Teresa (Kelly) Peterson; her grandchildren, Amanda (Tyler), Tara, Jessica, Alli and Jacob; six great-grandchildren; siblings, Gloy Jorgensen, Verlynn Vandeberg, Sandford Jorgensen.

Two mottos Rod lived by was "Make do...Do without...Wear it out" and "What good can I do today!" During his lifetime Rod has seen many advancements from electricity, indoor plumbing and automobiles through to the technological age of men on the moon.
Rod graduated from Jordan High School in 1936. He then attended Utah Agricultural College (Utah State University) from 1938 -1941 where he met the girl of his dreams, Eileen Georgia Allen.
In 1941 Rod joined the Army serving in World War II. After the war, he joined the Utah National Guard and was battery commander. He served two years in the Korean War and retired as a major from the Utah National Guard.
