Show Emery County Progress Castle Dale, Utah Tuesday August 26, 2003 9A Obituaries Gene Storrs Pappas Martin Cullum our sun will PRICE-Tod- ay and grammy, Glenna Gene Storrs Pappas, joined her beloved husband, and they are both complete again. Gene S. Pappas (she never liked, nor used Glenna) was born Oct. 26. The year of her birth is a little less certain. She placed it at 1923, but older siblings and family genealogy liked 1924 better. She was born in Salt Lake City, the sixth of seven children born to Fred and Lottie Storrs. She was raised in Place until her mother died, then her father moved the family to Provo. She graduated from Provo High School in 1942, and attended Brigham Young University for two years. These were the years of World War II, and she left school to work in Salt Lake City at Fort Douglas when the Presidio was moved there from San Francisco. When the war ended she chose to stay in Utah. She returned to Price to work, but shortly afterwards was a passenger in a horrible car accident. The two people with her were killed, and Mamas philosophy became that she had survived for a reason. Her struggle to first live and then recover took a year, and she displayed the steely determination that was such a part of her nature. She first returned to work at First National Bank and then became a stenographer for Attorney A. John Ruggeri. It w'as during her employment there that a young attorney, newly home from the War, walked into her life and her heart. She had known him, or of him, as there was a six year age difference, from her childhood in Price. But from the moment Luke G. Pappas walked into that office, she knew' what her reason for survival had been. Theirs was a love that defied the conventions of that time ( 947) as she w'as a Mormon woman of old pioneer stock and he was the son of Greek immigrants. Mama used to say that Papa hid her for two years. Papa would reply that she kept stepping in front of his car, and he either had to marry her or run over her. Marry her he did. On May 15, 1949, in spite of family wishes and social mores, they were joined in marriage at the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Price. From that point on, they were a team. Not always a quiet team, given the different cultures and their Greek versus Irish temperaments, but an inseparable team i I i i (i a k t- J i ,t 4 I 1 4 ), s i just the same. She worked for a number of years in his law' office and volunteered as a type teacher for Notre Dame School. But her defining roles in life were always wife, motner and grammy. Through the years of a lifetime, the two of them moved from Gene and Luke, to Mama and Papa, to Grammy and point and counterpoint. They cherished their two daughters and words are inadequate to describe their feelings for their twin grandsons. Then unon a March day in 1994-t- he believable but inevitable-Pa- pa had to leave. Separated after 47 years, by the only thing that could separate them, Papa began his patient wait. Mama struggled on alone to complete the instructions he had given her. He told her to see that their grandsons got an education. In May 2002, their grandsons graduated Magna Cum Laude and Suma Cum Laude from Luke's alma mater, the University of Utah. Now; with work complete and lives complete, Gene and Luke hold each other once again. Those of us left behind, who miss them so much, also know, undeniably, that there is a mighty team of two who will love, guide and protect us every day for the rest of our lives. Those who now wait behind include cherished daughters Joane Pappas White of Price; and Lucia Pappas Finley of Raleigh, NC. Beloved twin grandsons Ethan Finley, Raleigh, NC and Ian Luke Finley, New York, NY. Special grandson Todd Gaskin, Imperial County, Calif. Genes adored sisters, Irma Judd, Edna Thompson, Helen Cluff and Nan Baker. Gene is now with her parents, brother Art, sister Donna and Brian White. Please wait for us. Trisagion service will be held at Mitchell Funeral Home, 233 East Main, Price, on Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. A tribute and Orthodox prayers will be at Mitchells on Aug. 28 at noon. Burial will take place at Price City Cemetery, where Gene will rest once more beside her beloved Luke. son-in-la- w Marilyn Robertson PRICF-Marily- June Oliveto n Robertson, passed away Aug. 17, 2003.
