On Sunday, September 8, 2019, Ernest Lawrence Gaddie, loving husband and devoted father of five children, 20 grandchildren, and 30 great-grandchildren passed away peacefully at age 83 of natural causes in Mesa, Arizona.

Ernest was born on January 14, 1936 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Oliver Gaddie and Mary Ann Burke Gaddie. On June 17, 1955, he married Delite Hancock Gaddie in the Mesa Arizona Temple. They lovingly raised two sons, Glen and Reed, and three daughters, Kelly, Lora, and Lisa.

Ernest worked for the State of Arizona for 15 years as a licensed electrician and was known for his troubleshooting prowess and was sent all over the state of Arizona to fix challenging electrical issues.  He later discovered that he had a passion for teaching, during the time he and Delite owned and operated John Hancock Academy in Mesa, AZ. During his 40 years of teaching, he taught youth how to solve difficult math equations with confidence.  He owned both private and charter schools in Arizona and his school in Peoria was recognized as a Top 10 Charter School.  He was known for seeking out the most challenging students to teach. Those students consistently outperformed the other youth in their grade level.

He also successfully taught adults college-level math classes at his own school, Mountain States Technical Institute in Phoenix, as a part of the college courses. Ernest enjoyed working hard and started up 7 schools that greatly benefited the lives of approximately 20,000 students in Arizona.

Ernest loved to teach the gospel to all ages about the Savior Jesus Christ and invited all to follow Him. He joyfully served 6 missions for his church.  He enjoyed music, dancing, and playing his guitar. He created a family band that ultimately cut a record and competed on national television.  He was a talented storyteller, just ask any of his grandchildren.

Above all he loved his wife, Delite. They were best of friends and deeply in love. He loved and cherished his children and grandchildren with all his heart, might, mind, and strength. He was known for his love of God, country, family, and friends. He was a friend to all who knew him.  His infectious laugh, generous and compassionate spirit will be remembered by all.

Ernest was preceded in death by his father, Oliver, his mother MaryAnn, his sister Trudy, his wife Delite, and his son Reed. He is survived by four children, Glen, Kelly, Lora, and Lisa.

Renae Roskelley Schiess, age 81, passed away peacefully during her afternoon nap on August 27, 2019. She had suffered with Lewy Body dementia for a number of years, which had stolen her smile and her ability to communicate.

 Renae was born in Preston, Idaho on January 7, 1938 at her grandmother’s house. She was the second of three children born to Arthur F. and Wanda Peterson Roskelley. She grew up in Logan, Utah.

 She attended Logan High School for three years. On the first day of what would be her senior year, she eloped with Dean Schiess to Las Vegas. This week marks their 64th wedding anniversary. They moved to Star Valley, WY where Dean owned a gas station. 

 In 1957, Renae and Dean moved to Phoenix Arizona. They bought their first of several Dairy Queen stores and worked hard, day and night to make it a success. Soon they moved to Scottsdale, and finally lived for 25 years in Paradise Valley. Renae loved to collect recipes and was an excellent cook. She loved working at the Dairy Queen and later, the Orange Julius store in Tower Plaza. She and Dean travelled all over the world, and had a good life together, though she was no stranger to tragedy. She was elegant, beautiful, and devoted to her family.

 Renae is survived by her husband, Dean, sister Arlene McDonald, children: Kelli (Scott) Holman of Maryville, MO, Brody (Mary) Schiess of El Segundo CA, and Darin (Brigette) Schiess of Scottsdale, AZ.

John Christopher Heindel left us suddenly and unexpectedly on 08/23/19 after 65 eventful years on this earth. His life was filled with experiences and adventures that could literally fill a book (Johnny’s Boys [paperback 2014]) – or two. 

Although he is internationally renown for his creation of the MGM Grand Lion, his greatest creations are his three offspring: Joseph Heindel, Rosie Heindel-Howsden, and Sierra Rayne Heindel. 

Included in his various escapades he spent time with his daughter-in-law Beth and his granddaughters Francesca and Calista; however, he had yet to meet his new son-in-law Andrew.

We plan to come together to share stories and celebrate JohnnyLee’s life on Friday 08/30 from 10:30 a.m. to noon at Superstition Mountain Lost Dutchman Museum Elvis Presley Memorial Chapel at 4087 N. Apache Trail, AJ, AZ 85119 Elvis Presley Memorial Chapel.  A fitting location for the steampunk desert pirate that he is – at the base of the majestic mountain.

At 12:30pm, we will be at Mountain View Cemetery 7900 E. Main St., Mesa, AZ 85207 Mountain View Funeral Home And Cemetery, LLC to say our final adios to our larger than life, story-telling dreamer.

As he was always one to recognize, every little bit helps…

Christy Myers Smith, a loving wife, dedicated mother, and selfless friend, passed away unexpectedly on August 14, 2019 at the age of 44.

Christy was born on April 30, 1975 in Phoenix, Arizona to Ed and Karen Myers. She was the oldest of five siblings. She is survived by her husband, Brent, and her two children Jason and Hailey as well as by her mother, Karen, her brothers, Jimmy (Marcela), Clayton (Valerie), and Scott (Jennie), and her sister Bonnie Giles (Jason). Preceding her in death was her father, Ed, and Grandfather, Clayton, with whom she had an exceptional bond.

Christy Myers met Brent Smith, at an ASU singles dance the summer of 1993. They dated for 4 years and were ultimately sealed in the Mesa Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on June 14, 1997.  They were blessed with two remarkable children, Jason and Hailey, who quickly became their best friends. She was fiercely devoted to helping them become their best selves and was their greatest advocate. She helped them focus on the teachings of Jesus Christ, and emphasized charity, service, and work, all of which she authentically exemplified herself.

Christy adored her family and genuinely cherished her time with them. They enjoyed any day on the lake, riding motorcycles and ATVs, hunting, and spending time at home. She also had a passion for gardening and gourmet cooking. She, however, found her real joy at their cabin. It became her quiet retreat from her busy life in the city. She was never happier than when she was working at the cabin, creating her heaven on earth.

Christy was no stranger to excellence. After graduating Cum Laude from Arizona State University with a Bachelor’s Degree of Arts in Political Science, Christy, once again, graduated Cum Laude with a law degree from the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University.

Christy was an equally talented and capable attorney. Her professional pursuits took her from an associate at a large, international law firm, to General Counsel for the Office of Governor Jan Brewer, to Vice President and COO of various corporations in advertising, real estate development, and retail.

Christy was a mentor and a leader. Despite the high demands of her professional life, Christy still found time and opportunities to be a mentor. It was not uncommon to find Christy at lunch advising an aspiring student or attorney on how to set goals and position themselves for success. While emails and requests of her time were building throughout the day, Christy would often stay up through the midnight hours for a neighbor or friend. As daunting as the tasks might have appeared, she never hesitated to help.

Christy loved to serve. For 3 years, Christy and Brent worked tirelessly together as Area Coordinators for the Pathway Program for Brigham Young University-Idaho. They advised and motivated youth and adults in their pursuit of a college education.

Funeral services will be on Friday, August 23, 2019 at 11 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located at 4225 N. 56^th Street Phoenix, Arizona 85018.

Betty Anne Harshman ~ family matriarch, sister, mother, friend, grandmother, great grandmother ~ passed away peacefully at Reflections at Fellowship Square in Mesa, AZ on Tuesday, August 13 at the age of 82.

Betty Anne was born on May 21, 1937 in Tiffin, OH. She moved at a young age from Ohio  to Laveen, Az. Her family later moved from their orange orchard in Laveen to live in a bustling new home development on 28th Street and McDowell in Phoenix. She was called “Breezy” by her big brother Rony Harshman. Her love of adventure has its roots in the motorcycle and camping trips her family took during her childhood. She always loved camping and would continue that tradition with her own family for the rest of her life. She did not mind the upgrade to RV camping in her later years.

Betty is remembered for her determined nature, her love for her family, and the thrill of adventures and travel, whether that was a trip to the local Goodwill, visiting with her children and grandchildren, or exploring a new country. She was pretty fed up with her memory loss and she attempted to bust out of Reflections a few times and go find it!

Betty Anne was a cheerleader at North High in Phoenix. After a long break in her education, she graduated from ASU in 1988 with a degree in Communications at the age of 51!  Her love of learning continued throughout her life until her memory loss took over.

Betty Anne had a number of jobs throughout her life. She worked as a carhop at the first AZ Bob’s Big Boy on Central Avenue and Thomas in the 1950’s, as a clerk at Tang’s Imports, an executive recruiter, a co-owner in her husband’s concrete business, a massage therapist, an art framer, and her favorite occupation (we swear!), a homemaker. Our mother lived for house cleaning, laundry folding, cooking, and ironing, with some tennis or painting lessons on the side.  

You might remember her ready smile, eating her delicious tamales at Christmas, talking with her at any one of our club or sporting events, or just being in our comfortable and lovely home enjoying a snack with one of us kids. She had such an eye for art and design and she followed her passions — sewing, painting, cooking, tennis, learning, quilting, or whatever brought her pleasure.

Betty Anne will be so missed by her family — brother Rony (Norma) Harshman, children Leslie (Johnny) Johnson, Cydney (Jay) Vargo, Arturo (Ashley) Garcia, and Lydia (Danny) Crain. She also leaves behind eleven grandchildren, Janice, Mark, Katherine,Wil, Blake, Danielle, Aura, Bella, Artie, Trevor, Danielle and 8 great-grandchildren, as well as her niece Kathy (Scott) Austin and nephew Johnny (Janet) Harshman. 

If you’d like to do something to remember Betty Anne, you could make a donation of goods to Goodwill or your favorite thrift store (oh man, she LOVED thrift stores); make a donation to an Alzheimer’s organization that provides research or support to families; or you could just think happy thoughts.

We will celebrate our mother’s life with an open house at 3105 E Coconino Dr Gilbert, AZ 85298 on Saturday, August 24 from 11am – 3pm.
