John Robert Ellingson (Jr.) passed away April 21, 2022 at his home in Mesa, Arizona at the age of 78. Born in Phoenix, Arizona on October 28, 1943 to John and Barbara (Gardner) Ellingson, he grew up in Tempe and moved to Mesa fourteen years after marrying Carma Lee Call. He lived the rest of his life in Mesa where they raised six children: J. R., David (Auburn Payne), Robert (Corinne Featherstone), Spencer (Kristi Borland), Matthew (Lara Salmon), and Caralee (Spencer Alldredge). He has twenty-two grandchildren and five siblings: Barbara Kempton (Robert), Betty Jarvis (Harley), Jay (Melody), Mons (Sally), and Mark (Marlene).

John met Carma Lee in December of 1965 and never asked another girl out after their first date. It was love at first sight for both of them and they were married on July 26, 1966 in the Mesa, Arizona Temple. His family was the great joy of his life, along with his testimony of Jesus Christ. John’s faith was unwavering and the motivating factor in his life. He served two and one-half years as a missionary in Mexico for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

John’s faith guided his decisions and made him the optimistic person he was. Totally others oriented, service was John’s hobby. He was happiest when he was making others happy and believed service was the best way to show his love of Christ. He was constantly serving others at home, church, or in the community. Active in Boy Scouts, he earned the Eagle Rank and served in that organization over a dozen years. He served in the community as a neighborhood watch leader and precinct committeeman for a dozen years. John served in many leadership positions at church and as a Temple worker. Along with Carma Lee, he served for years at the Family History Center in Mesa.

John could fix anything, was very creative, and a problem solver. He had a positive “can do” attitude that was reflected in his daily actions. He graduated from ASU and eventually started his own construction company. He was the project manager during the development of Val Vista Lakes. He also owned Cart Masters, a multi-state service company and Four Square Property Care, a landscape business.

John loved nature; his favorite vacation was going somewhere he could enjoy the majesty of God’s creations. John loved traveling with Carma Lee. Together they visited many countries and almost every state. He loved the United States and believed it was founded under God’s inspiration. He had no doubt that life was eternal and frequently shared his beliefs with us, his family.

How we loved our Papa! We are thankful he passed his faith on to us. We look forward to our heavenly reunion where he will no longer have a body ravaged by Parkinson’s Disease. We thank Papa for his happy, optimistic attitude, despite great challenges. We thank him for his legacy of being grateful, showing love, and having faith!

In lieu of flowers please donate to the Humanitarian Aid Fund of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (https://philanthropies.churchofjesuschrist.org/humanitarian-services).

In life, we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, no one else will ever fill.

While the passing of Veena Mago has left our hearts with emptiness, we have years of loving memories and moments which will never be overlooked. Today we remember an individual who taught us what it meant to serve their loved ones and support their family at any cost. Veena’s care for her family & her unconditional love is the key ingredient which holds her children and family together, always and forever.

Veena Mago was born on March 2nd, 1945 in Lahore,Pakistan to parents Om Prakash Anand and Poolarani Anand. She was the jewel of her parent’s eye and the beloved sister to Anil and Arun Anand. As a middle child, Veena continuously loved and supported her family who often was a confidant and loving companion to her parents, siblings, and loved ones.

As childhood came to its closure, Veena’s adulthood flourished. She met her loving companion, Om Prakash Mago in Delhi, India. They both tied the knot with the blessings of their family and loved ones on December 7th, 1964.

While leading a new life through marriage with Om, Veena and Om welcomed a beautiful family with four wonderful children. Naresh, Mamta, Arti, and Amrish. As Om and Veena grew their loving family in Delhi, they always reminded their children the importance of being good people before anything else. Veena especially taught them what it meant
to be the glue of family and to always keep everyone together. These values were never forgotten by all four of her children and something which they carried over in their own families.

As more time progressed Veena and Om aimed to settle their children in the United States for an abundance of opportunities. Veena and Om’s family grew beautifully with Ruchira, Ruchi, Jiten, and Rajiv. Through the decades, Veena was the grandmother to 8 beautiful grandchildren, Jagrit, Yuvika, Ansh, Yagya, Hriday, Khushi, Mahima, and Tiya whom she all had a massive hand in raising and will forever remain in their hearts. The values instilled in her family will always be passed down to all the coming generations.

On this day, we are saddened by her loss, but we shall never forget her legacy, for she is responsible for 3 generations of family, who were raised with love, care, and bliss. Veena was the epitome of what it meant to be the string which holds a family in union, we hope to carry her teachings & actions and be that same string.

Patricia Jean Nation, 83, lived a life of constant service to others and died peacefully in her sleep at her home in Mesa, Arizona, on April 13, 2022. She was surrounded by all seven of her children and most of her 16 grandchildren as she prepared to cross over to meet friends and family who predeceased her.

Pat was born in the small farm town of Hoven, South Dakota, on September 14, 1938. Her parents – Jerome and Patricia (Schulte) DeRouchey – had 11 children. “Sister Pat” was schooled by the nuns and aspired to be one herself as a girl. She was always caring for others, working as a nanny for local mothers at a very young age. By 12, she was working nearly full-time as a nanny of an infant. When the family moved to Rapid City, they took Pat with them to continue watching over the child. There she attended high school and had her first glimpse into “big city” life.

Her first big adventure came after high school when she packed a bag, bought a bus ticket, and traveled to California. She told the bus driver to drop her at Hollywood & Vine (the only landmark she knew.) From there she made her way to Knotts Berry Farm and stopped at the chicken diner for a quick bite and chance to plan her next move. As luck would have it, Mrs. Knotts and her husband were also from a small town in South Dakota and she was offered a job on the spot. Roommates were secured and Pat’s big, though brief, California adventure began.

She returned to South Dakota and married Keith Nation with whom she had seven children. They would eventually move to the Phoenix area in 1965 where the children were raised. Pat never met a stranger and made certain no one left her home hungry. She was a devoted mother, sister, and neighbor, often taking it upon herself to watch over widows who lived nearby. Most of all, she was a picture of resiliency, resourcefulness, and gratitude. No matter what curveballs life sent her way, Pat always made the best of the situation and repeatedly told others that she had lived a wonderful life.

Pat leaves behind her brother Vincent DeRouchey; sisters Lorraine (“Tootie”) Werdel and Jane DeRouchey; four daughters, Julie Nation, Kim Hoppens, Debra Nation, Rhonda (and Bret) Koepnick; three sons, Don Nation, John (and Shawna) Nation, James (and Shawntel) Nation; 16 grandchildren, Jazelle Nation, Erin Hoppens, Megan (and Jacob) Hartman, Briana Nation, Hunter Nation, Rick (and Danielle) Mendenhall, Amanda (and Scott) Christy, Ashley Nation, Rebecca Nation, Ella Nation, Tyler Nation, Rachel Nation, Noel (and Logan) Whetton, Sage Nation, Amber Nation, and Dean Nation; and five great grandchildren, Luke, Naomi, Rhiannan, Jayden and Caleb Mendenhall.

She was preceded in death by her partner Paul Kollar; mother Patricia (Schulte) DeRouchey; father Jerome DeRouchey; and brothers Donald DeRouchey, Carol DeRouchey, Keith DeRouchey, Michael DeRouchey, Jerome DeRouchey, David DeRouchey, and Jimmy DeRouchey.

There will be a celebration of life at the home of her oldest daughter on Saturday, 4/23, 1 p.m., at 21518 E Calle de Flores, Queen Creek, AZ 85142, where we will share fond memories and encourage one another on a continual journey to live up to her expectations that we treat everyone with kindness and see the world with a heart full of gratitude.

“She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings.” ~Ariana Dancu
