They were her life.
Virginia was well known for her outgoing personality, beautiful smile, and sassy disposition. Even when faced with life’s challenges, she always had a smile on her face. Her faith in God allowed her to make the best of every day and ready for the next adventure. She loved all kinds of music and was always ready to visit places she had never seen or experienced. Virgi was a great cook and was always willing to share her “secret” recipes. She was determined to be happy and wanted everyone around her to be happy too.

Marilyn Cameron Crandall, of Mesa, Arizona, passed away February 4, 2026.
Marilyn was born on September 15, 1940, to Clinton and Lola Cameron in Los Angeles, California, where she grew up alongside her sisters Joyce, Colleen, and Nadine. She graduated from Hamilton High School in L.A. After graduation, she attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where she met John Allen Crandall. John and Marilyn were married in the Los Angeles Temple on June 16, 1961.
Following their marriage, the couple moved to San Francisco while John attended dental school. In 1965, they settled in Mesa, Arizona, where they raised their family and established John’s dental practice. Together, Marilyn and John raised six children.
Early childhood education was Marilyn’s lifelong passion and central to who she was. She poured this love into her own children, grandchildren, and countless students. When her children were young, she taught preschool part-time and later spent nearly 25 years as a kindergarten teacher in the Mesa Public School District at Whitman and MacArthur Elementary Schools. Marilyn was known for creating innovative, hands-on ways to help children learn and thrive.
Marilyn’s compassion for children extended far beyond the classroom. She volunteered for 25 years at the Child Crisis Center, serving in many roles including fundraising and serving on the board. Most of all, she loved spending time directly with the children—bringing craft projects to share. During the summers, children from the Center would come to swim at her house daily, and Marilyn frequently joined them in the pool, delighting in their joy.
Her faith and membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was a cornerstone of Marilyn’s life and guided the way she served and loved others. She faithfully served in many callings throughout her life, including Relief Society President, Cub Scout den mother, Primary teacher, Young Women leader, and temple worker. After retiring from teaching, she and John served two missions together in England, a highlight of their later years. More important than any formal calling, Marilyn lived a deeply Christlike life marked by compassion, humility, and quiet service. She showed love to everyone she met, and her daily example, more than words or lessons, was her greatest testimony.
Marilyn deeply cherished her role as a grandmother. Affectionately known as the “Book Grandma,” she fostered a love of reading and learning by gifting books to her grandchildren and reading to them often. She loved words, quotes, and poetry, filling her home with their inspiration. She was known for her joyful laugh and warm sense of humor.
Marilyn is survived by sister, Nadine Doyle, and her six children: Douglas (Shelli) of Fort Morgan, Colorado; Wayne (Susan) of Chandler, Arizona; Sharon Crandall of Mesa, Arizona; Glen (Rebecca) of Kaysville, Utah; Joyce Green (Kerry) of Mesa, Arizona; and Charles (Erin) of Kaysville, Utah. She is also survived by 22 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, John Allen Crandall.
The funeral service will be held on Monday, February 16 at 6:00 p.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1911 N. 24th St., Mesa. A reception for all who would like to visit with the family will take place immediately after the service. A graveside interment will be held on Tuesday, February 17 at 10 a.m. at the Mesa Cemetery.

James J. Condie, 91, of Pocatello, Idaho, passed away on December 15, 2025, at his daughter Julie’s home in Mesa, Arizona.
He was born on October 26, 1934, in Pocatello, the second of five children born to James F. Condie and Phoebe Condie (Jones). He was born at home near the Portneuf River. For the first four years of his life, Jimmy lived in a railroad section car with his siblings while his father built their family home on West Alameda.
One of Jimmy’s favorite childhood activities was making his own stick horse from willows gathered near a local creek. He and his neighborhood friends rode their stick horses through the countryside pretending to be cowboys, and even took them to the local movie theater to watch westerns.
As a child and youth, Jimmy was active in sports at both school and home. Large and tall for his age, he won four of five events at his fifth-grade field day. In junior high, he earned MVP honors for seventh-grade football and later made the Pocatello High School varsity team as a sophomore running back. He also learned to box through the Boy Scouts and later participated in LDS Church basketball and softball teams. Jimmy was especially gifted in racquetball and was rarely beaten, even by his three sons.
Growing up in a house with five children was both fun and chaotic. There were many funny stories from events at the dinner table in the tiny kitchen, where Jimmy’s left-handedness often conflicted with his father’s right-handedness, culminating with a plate of food being dumped on Jimmy’s head. The children were all close and shared the memories of growing up together in the house, in the neighborhood, and in the LDS church.
Jimmy and his family frequently traveled to Malad, Idaho, to visit relatives, and he spent multiple summers working on his Uncle Marv’s farm there. He did chores, fed animals, and rode horses. He often said these were among his most cherished memories.
Jimmy served in the U.S. Army, 5th Infantry, during peacetime in Germany from 1956 to 1958 as an M-48 tank commander. He recalled driving tanks down Main Street in Nuremberg, Germany. During his service, he was awarded the Colonel’s Orderly seven times.
One of Jimmy’s greatest abilities was to work hard in life. At the young age of twelve, Jimmy started working for the Union Pacific Railroad, unloading cattle at the stockyards when midnight trains arrived. Throughout his life, he often held multiple jobs at once and learned valuable lessons from those he worked alongside. He would regularly lend his time and skill to friends to help build their houses or other projects. It was a priority for Jimmy to instill the value of hard work in his children and expected them to understand what was required to succeed in life.
His professional career spanned nearly 50 years with Union Pacific Railroad and Pacific Fruit Express, where he served as Laborer, Switchman, Fireman, Brakeman, and ultimately Conductor. In 1987, he was involved in a nationally reported head-on train collision in Nugget, Wyoming, while deadheading back to Pocatello.
In 1960, Jimmy met Gloria Gail Heileson of Idaho Falls. They dated and married in November of that year. Jimmy often drove to Idaho Falls to pick up Gloria in his fast black-and-white 1957 Chevy Impala. They settled in Pocatello, where they raised five children. Their marriage lasted 30 years. After the divorce, Jimmy welcomed a sixth child, Jamie Jolley-Condie, with his partner, Lana Jolley.
As a father, Jimmy was a dedicated provider who took pride in giving his family a comfortable home. Family life included camping trips to Redfish Lake, visits to Disneyland, and road trips to see friends, relatives, and unique destinations. He spent time with his sons at Scout camp, played sports with all of his children, and offered guidance and feedback on their athletic pursuits.
In his earlier years, Jimmy enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, playing basketball, and baseball. Later, he found pleasure in yard work, running, and playing racquetball at the local fitness center. In his final years, he enjoyed spending time at the Fort Hall Casino. He was a talented photographer and known for his excellent sense of humor. He will be missed.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters, Collene Gregory and Marilynn Henson; and his brother, Robert Condie. He is survived by his brother, Richard Condie; his children, Patrick and Kristin (Shuldlberg), Scott and Janette (Austin), Brad and Becca (Dibble), Holly and Masa (Tukuafu), Julie Duffin, and Jamie Jolley-Condie.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, February 28, at 2:00 p.m. in the LDS Ward Cultural Hall at 5635 S. 2200 W., Taylorsville, Utah, 84129

Dallin Owen Robert Skousen, 31, born August 17, 1994, passed away unexpectedly from a motorcycle accident on January 25, 2026, in Mesa, Arizona. While his life ended far too soon, the way he lived – fully, generously, and with joy – will continue to shape and bless those who knew and loved him.
Funeral services are Friday, February 6, 2026, at 7:00 pm, preceded by a viewing at 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 925 N. Harris Dr, Mesa, AZ.
He is survived by his two children, Lincoln and Shiloh Skousen, his parents Tracy and Diane Skousen, his siblings Brookie Cowles (KC), Alyssa Sharp (Tyler), Kimberly Skousen, Kathryn Skousen, and Jeffrey Skousen, three nieces, two nephews, and two grandmothers.
Dallin was fun and genuinely funny, known for his pranks, quick wit, and ability to make people laugh. Beneath his humor was a deeply sensitive heart. He cared about people and loved being with them, intentionally making others feel welcome, included, and like they truly belonged.
Family was important to Dallin. He cherished his role as father and found joy in spending time with his children. He also held a special love for his grandparents, particularly his grandfather with whom he shared the name Owen.
Dallin loved the outdoors – especially fishing – and felt most alive surrounded by nature. A natural athlete, he participated in many sports and carried a lifelong love of physical challenge. Weightlifting became a discipline he respected, enjoying both the progress and the process it demanded. He competed and medaled in weightlifting.
He possessed a curious mind and a love for learning. Whether he was gathering information on a new topic and forming opinions, or traveling the world to embrace new cultures, he approached life with enthusiasm. He took great pride in his work at DP Electric, where he was known for his dedication, craftsmanship, and vibrancy.
Faith in Jesus Christ, hope, and optimism were characteristics that Dallin exhibited during his life. He believed in eternal families, and he longed for the time to reunite with grandparents and ancestors. We know that they welcomed him anxiously and are enjoying the hunting, fishing, and campfire conversations now.
Dallin will be remembered for his warmth, humor, strength, curiosity, and kindness. His presence made people feel seen and valued, and his absence leaves a profound space. His legacy lives on in the love he gave, the laughter he shared, and the lives he touched.

Surrounded by her children, Jenny Elmore took her final breath on Sunday, January 25, 2026, in Mesa, Arizona, at the age of 87. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and friend, whose kindness and warmth left a lasting impression on all who knew her.
Born Janneke Geluk on January 16, 1939, in Breskens, the Netherlands, Jenny was the daughter of Leendert Geluk and Elizabeth Vergouwe. As a young child, she experienced life in the Netherlands during the German occupation—memories that stayed with her throughout her life.

Jenny worked as a secretary, working at the World Bank, the Belgian Embassy, and the Physics Department at the University of Maryland. It was there that she met her second husband, Arnold (Arnie) John Elmore. They married on October 24, 1970, in Bethesda Naval Hospital, where Arnie was a patient at the time. Together they welcomed a daughter, Jaquelyn (Jackie) Elmore, in 1972, and raised their family in Columbia, Maryland.
While living in Columbia, Jenny found The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a faith she deeply cherished. She remained an active and devoted member throughout her life and was sealed to Arnie in the Washington, D.C. Temple in May 2007.
Jenny was an avid reader and had a special passion for collecting dolls and paper dolls. She was actively involved in her church, her community, and the paper doll world—spaces where her enthusiasm and generosity shone brightly.
Above all, Jenny had a remarkable gift for making people feel seen and special. She was deeply loved by all who crossed her path and will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

At this time, no memorial or funeral service will be held. Arrangements for a service will be made at a later date. Bunker Garden Chapel, located at 33 N Centennial Way in Mesa, is overseeing final arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Hospice of the Valley in her honor.
