The families of Scott Conrad Benson Jr. wish to announce that he has returned to his Father in Heaven on May 21st 2024 in Gilbert Arizona. Scott was born on September the 21st 1942 in Salt Lake City Utah to Dr. Scott Benson Sr. and Mary Platt Benson.
Scott was preceded to his heavenly home by his parents Scott Conrad Benson Sr., and Mary Platt Benson, as well as his brothers Beric and Chris. Scott credits much of his formative raising to his Grandparents Ben and Violet Platt who also precede him. Scott is survived by his beloved bride Marlene, his brother Douglas, and his children in order of birth Scott III, Sean, Diana Waite, and Spencer. At the time of Scott’s passing he had 12 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
Anyone that knew Scott knew where his heart was and what things were most important to him. Those things were his family and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Scott’s heart belonged completely and fully to his wife Marlene whom he met in Washington state where he was stationed with the Army National Guard. Scott’s favorite story to tell (of which he had many) was of his friend “dragging” him to a dance at the local LDS chapel. As Marlene entered the dance Scott pointed across the room and told his friend, “That is my wife.” At the time of Scott’s passing he and Marlene were married for 58 very happy years.
Scott’s services will be held at their LDS chapel located at 3572 E. Guadalupe Rd, Gilbert, AZ at 10 a.m. on Saturday June the 8th. Those that would like to comfort the family and hear Scott’s life story are invited to attend.

Gregory Phillip Randolph (January 15, 1954 – May 21, 2024) was born in Phoenix, AZ to Flay and Rachel Irene Randolph. Greg started his life in Buckeye, AZ, where the family farmed cotton and alfalfa, and his dad was a cattle rancher. He attended Antelope Union High School in Wellton, AZ.
Greg attended Northern Arizona University, where he made many lifelong friends and earned his bachelor’s degree in business. During these years, Greg grew out his hair and beard, played lots of basketball, and rode a Harley Davidson. Greg became a “big brother” to Jeff Fischer through the Big Brothers, Big Sisters organization. Jeff was always a big part of Greg’s life.
After college, Greg began his 30-year career with Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance, and in 1988 he met the love of his life, Deborah. For the next 36 years together, they raised kids, found lots of laughter, and managed all of the joys and challenges life threw at them.
Greg was heavily involved in Boy Scouts Troop 451, where he was troop leader, scout master, and eventually earned the illustrious Silver Beaver award. Greg’s commitment to youth development and mentorship meant he devoted countless service hours to Troop 451. Through Boy Scouts, he camped, hiked, kayaked and explored the island of Kawai, traveled through Alaska, hiked, camped, and boated all around Arizona.
Greg’s devotion to his family was unmatched. He jumped at every opportunity to take the kids swimming, hiking, to parks, the zoo, museums, or just out for lunch or a scoop of ice cream. Greg was involved with his church and had a strong devotion to the Lord.
Greg enjoyed riding his bike, going to the movies, and drinking Diet Coke with extra ice. He earned a black belt in taekwondo, juggled fruit, practiced nun chucks while riding his bike, and brought humor with him wherever he went. He is remembered for his integrity, and for choosing joy, even in times of great difficulty or sadness. Greg played guitar, and listened to rock, blues, jazz, and even some country music. He loved hearing his kids and grandkids sing and play their instruments. Greg never forgot a birthday, and never passed up the chance to hop in the car and go for a drive with the windows down, air on full-blast, and the music up loud.
Greg is survived by his wife Deborah, daughter Kate Hope (Brian), sons Sean Cox, Marcus Randolph (Shandie), Jacob Randolph (Sarah), and daughters Paige Tansill (Patrick) and Elle Randolph, as well as 9 – soon to be 10 – grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Flay and Rachel Irene Randolph, his sisters, Sandra Wright and Sharon Cravens, and his grandbaby Jordan Tansill.
The family will hold a small, private event to celebrate Greg’s life. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Gentiva Foundation.

Bradley Payne Ipsen, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, son and friend, passed away on May 26, 2024. He will be deeply missed by all who loved him. He packed 120 years of living into his 63 years and had a special gift of living life to the fullest and bringing others along for the ride. One of his many talents was making lasting memories for others.
Brad fiercely loved his family and especially adored his sweet wife of 37 years, Suzanne. He is survived by Suzanne and his three wonderful sons: Taylor (Britni), Parker (Sidney), and Conner and treasured his precious grandchildren: Adelaide, Isla, Parley, Pacey, and August with another baby boy arriving in December. They were everything to him!
Brad was born in Provo, Utah on January 28, 1961 to Robert Lee and Barbara Payne Ipsen. He was the only boy among three beautiful sisters: Robin Harmon (Mark), Jannie Brady (Greg) and Dana Groscost (Jeff). He grew up in Scottsdale, AZ and was full of life and energy. He was a talented athlete playing many sports.
After graduating from Scottsdale High School, Brad was called as a full-time missionary to Madrid, Spain. He loved the people, the language, and the Spanish culture. He used his fluency of Spanish whenever the opportunity arose.
Upon his return from the mission, he earned a football scholarship from Utah State University. He was the starting quarterback and proud to be an Aggie. Brad and Suzanne were sealed in the Mesa, AZ temple and then made their home in Logan, Utah where all three of their boys were born. They loved their life there and Brad taught them all to enjoy and love the outdoors. They fished and hunted, hiked, skied, and boated together as a family. He became a skilled outfitter providing opportunities for hundreds of clients, friends and family to have once-in-a-life-time experiences.
Brad and Suzanne moved to Mesa in 2001 where they loved being back home and close to family. There, he established a career in land development. Brad loved making memories while always putting family first. He never missed an opportunity to teach, coach, mentor and explore with his sons. Brad was a hard worker and multi-talented. He could do many things and if he didn’t know how to do something, he figured it out so it was completed perfectly.
Brad served in many callings in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and had a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the plan of salvation. He had great faith and was a wonderful teacher and speaker. He also loved the temple and he and Suzanne attended together often.
One of Brad’s special qualities was his ability to mentor young people; Brad loved working with the youth. He influenced countless young men by showing special love and concern and always making time for those who needed a friend. He is an outstanding ministering brother and served above and beyond what was expected which greatly impacted his sons. He made everyone feel like they were his best friend and left a choice legacy of loving kindness.
Family, siblings, nieces & nephews, colleagues, and friends will deeply miss him and will cherish the many great memories he left with us all.
Brad is survived by his father, sisters, loving wife, three sons, and his precious grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Barbara and his brother-in-law, Jeff.

Lorraine was born on February 28, 1926, in Los Angeles, California, to Christine and Oscar Haller. She was the cherished wife of Richard P. Moffat, who preceded her in death in 1995. Together, they shared a deep bond and raised a loving family.
Lorraine is survived by her children: Chris Rhodes (Kent), Meredith Prince (Steve), Craig Moffat (Diana), Roger Moffat (Christine), and Mindy Thomas (Eldon). She was preceded in death by her son Parker Moffat (Peggy) in 2020, and her daughter Marti Slade (Fred) in 2018. Lorraine was a devoted grandmother to 23 grandchildren and a proud great-grandmother to 34 and counting.
Raised in Eagle Rock, California, Lorraine graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature from Occidental College in 1946. She was known for her voracious love of reading, always immersed in a book. In 1947, she married the love of her life, Richard Moffat, and together they embarked on a journey that took them from Yuma to Phoenix, finally settling in Scottsdale and Mesa, Arizona, where they raised their family.
Lorraine was a pillar of strength in her community, actively involved in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints having been baptized in 1942. She served in various leadership positions including Relief Society President, Young Women’s President, and as a dedicated teacher. She was endlessly creative and resourceful. Her talents were showcased as many youth in the church will remember being in her award-winning “Road Shows” in which she wrote the script, directed, and designed the costumes. Lorraine was involved in dance festivals with 100’s of youth. The sewing machine could be heard late into the night as she tackled these projects.
Lorraine was a dedicated learner and curious mind. Later in life, Lorraine wanted to improve her piano playing skills. She found a piano teacher to learn how to play by chords. When Richard was called as the Stake Patriarch she decided it was time she became master at the computer and learned how to word process to act as scribe. She didn’t shy away from anything new. She tackled all new technology challenges head on. Lorraine wanted an Instagram account in her 80’s so she could keep up with grandchildren and great grandchildren.
In 1992-1993, Lorraine and Richard served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on the island of St. Martin, exemplifying their commitment to service and faith. Lorraine taught children to read on their mission. Lorraine’s compassion extended beyond her family and church as she volunteered for over 18 years at LDS Family Services and served as a temple worker.
Throughout her life, Lorraine cultivated a spirit of adventure, traveling extensively with her family. From cross-country trips in a camper to visits to Cuba, Israel, and Japan, she embraced new experiences with enthusiasm. Her heart belonged to the United Kingdom, where she cherished every visit, fulfilling her lifelong love for all things British.
Lorraine Moffat was a pioneer in her own right, with an unwavering love for God and family. Her legacy of service, resilience, and devotion will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Lois Jean Trotter, 96, passed away peacefully on May 20, 2024, in Mesa, Arizona. She is survived by her 8 children of 4 sons and 4 daughters; Tom Trotter of Cottonwood, AZ; Bob Trotter (Connie) of Hope, Idaho; Mike Trotter (Darlene) of Scottsdale, AZ; and Steve Trotter (Ginger) of Lufkin, Texas; Terri Trotter of Scottsdale, AZ; Marie Trotter and Lorraine Trotter of Mesa, AZ; and Annie Shaw of Manhattan, Kansas. Lois has ten grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren who loved their Nanny dearly.
Lois was preceded in death by her husband Frank Thomas Trotter, her sister, Corinne Roen, and parents Harry and Ethel Crofts of Scottsdale, AZ, all buried at Paradise Memorial Gardens of Scottsdale. Lois was born on the banks of the Wabash River in Logansport, Indiana on January 4, 1928. She worked as a PBX phone operator for Michigan Bell Phone Company at the Lansing Airport until she went into the Navy where she and Frank Trotter were married in their uniforms in Arlington Hall, Virginia near the Pentagon in 1952. They met in the coffee line when Frank noticed that she was wearing an engagement ring. The next day her ring was gone so Frank made his move and their courtship began.
As homemaker, wife, and mother, Lois was passionate and dedicated to 100 percent of everything that she did for her husband and family where they were stationed overseas in Okinawa, Japan, and the Philippines as well as military bases throughout the United States. The family moved to Scottsdale from Michigan when Frank retired from the Air Force at Thanksgiving of 1971. Lois’s joy of life, incredibly kind heart, and beautiful smile never wavered and kept her family strong.
Lois loved gardening and growing sunflowers, particularly large ones. She was very creative and succeeded at anything she tried whether it was developing her own photos in a bathroom turned darkroom, sewing clothes for her children, designing macrame in the 70’s, or making pottery where she even had her own kiln in the backyard. And she was an expert at creating meals for the family on a carefully planned budget.
Funeral services will be held on Monday, June 10, 2024, at 9:00 AM at Paradise Memorial Gardens at 9300 E Shea Blvd, Scottsdale, AZ 85260 at Shea Blvd and 92nd Street.

Freddy, beloved father, husband, loving grandfather, brother, esteemed veteran and friend, passed away on May 8, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Born on August 8, 1955, he lived a life filled with simplicity, generosity, and unwavering love for those around him.
Freddy was a man of integrity, whose reserved yet lighthearted nature touched the lives of everyone he met. He was born to Alonso and Blanca Zapata in Bogota, Colombia, where he grew up with a deep appreciation for family values and hard work. These values shaped his character throughout his life, guiding him in his personal and professional endeavors.
After completing his education at Jamaica High School in Queens, NY, he answered the call to serve his country by joining the United States Air Force. Throughout his 23 years of service, Freddy exemplified the Air Force’s core values of integrity first and service before self. Shortly after retiring as Msgt at Travis AFB, he then went on to pursue his second career at Valero refinery in Benicia for the next 15 years. He then went on to official retirement moving to S. Korea for a few years before finally settling in Mesa, AZ. His commitment to excellence and his passion for his work were evident in everything he did.
Outside of his professional life, Freddy cherished spending time with his family. He was a devoted husband to Kisun for 38 years, and is survived by his daughters Diana, Monica, Jessica, and Elizabeth who have been the lights of his life. He found great joy in sharing life’s simple pleasures with them, whether it was watching cartoons, sharing repeated stories around the dinner table, or enjoying each other’s company.
Freddy was known for his passion for keeping his Jeep in immaculate condition and saluting every Jeep that drove by. He enjoyed sneaking table scraps to the dogs even when we said no and could often be found “stalking” our flights to make sure we arrived to our destinations safely.
A memorial service to celebrate Freddy’s life will be held on June 6, 2024 at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery.
Freddy will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends, who will forever remember the time they shared with him.
