January 15, 2018PRICE- John Andrew Westenskow, Sr., age 84, passed away January 12, 2018 at the University of Utah Medical Center surrounded by family.
Born July 18, 1933 in Latuda, Utah the only child to Andrew Ledrue and Josephine
Reese Westenskow. John attended Carbon College and was star center for the Eagles Basketball team. After graduating in 1953 he was drafted into the army and served at Fort Ord,
California as a "Remington Raider" (typist/company clerk). After his military service he returned to Price, found and married the love of his life Priscilla Boyack on February 4, 1956. Their marriage was solemnized December 19, 1964 in the Manti Temple.
John and Priscilla moved to Salt Lake City where John graduated from Stevens Henage College in Business Management. After two and a half years they returned to Price and had their first son John Jr. and three years later their second son Frank Drue.
After working for Price City for 5 years John then began his career at Utah Power and Light where he enjoyed reading meters and traveling the area. Always improving himself and learning, he later became a planner and customer service representative, retiring in 1991.
He was an avid fly fisherman and spent every summer in his childhood fishing the Yellowstone River in the Uintas with his father, mother, grandfather, extended family and most on the citizenry of Latuda. A tradition he truly loved and legacy he shared with his sons and grandchildren.
Every weekend during summers later in life, was spent having a wonderful time creating memories with family at the cabin in Scofield, building, boating, and, of course fishing.
Woodworking was his other passion. Not a family member or friend was left without a lovingly handcrafted gift or two. His favorite leisure pastimes were watching ball games (always with the sound off) and watching and re watching old cowboy serials and movies where the hero always wore a white hat, captured the bad guy, got the girl and rode off into the sunset.
Beyond all was his love for his wife and family. In contrast to his towering "5 foot 19 inch" stature and sometimes gruff demeanor he gently and tenderly gathered and doted over his grandchildren and great grandchildren, frequently gathering them around him in his big chair.
Survived by his darling wife of 62 years, Priscilla "Sibby"; his two sons, John Jr. (Sheri), Logan, UT, and Frank (Sylvia Yazzie), Price, UT; grandchildren, Amber (Jason) Pollan, Logan, Jaimi (Brandon) Erwin, Price, Adam (Connie) Westenskow, Woods Cross, and Amy (Jono) Huppi, Salt Lake City, and 5 great grandchildren.

Born February 7, 1919, in Benjamin, Utah, to Thomas Leslie Richardson and Hazel Ludlow. Married Lewis Keith Bowen June 5, 1939, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
Talent and love have been the hallmarks of Cleo's life. She developed her musical talents at an early age, and she enjoyed sharing them. Her skill on piano and organ have enriched church services and other public and private gatherings, and she loved sharing her alto voice locally and at LDS General Conference with "The Singing Mothers." For many years, Murray High School graduates marched for their diplomas to Cleo's organ melodie
Cleo's secretarial career took her into offices from Spanish Fork to Salt Lake City, culminating in 26 years at Murray High School as secretary-registrar. She cherished her friendships with Murray's students, faculty and administrators. Her career interests took her outside the school to the Utah Educational Secretaries Association, serving as state president and as national delegate. In later years, she and Keith enjoyed promoting and selling many products, but their real goals were to travel and spend time together.
Above all, the great theme of Cleo's life was family. She loved her time with her immediate and extended family, and she devotedly served those who were ill and nearing death. Drawing her family around her for special or everyday occasions was a primary aim for Cleo.
Cleo and Keith treasured their friendships from Spanish Fork, Burbank, San Diego, and Salt Lake South Cottonwood 5th Ward and Butler 4th Ward. Thank you, all.
Our family is most grateful for those who loved and served Cleo in her declining years at Salt Lake Home and at Rocky Mountain Care at West Valle
