Show Volume XXII Issue III The Ogden Valley news Page 7 January 15, 2014 Announcements Obituaries Doris Irene Hayes Hislop January 13, 1919 December 25, 2013 Doris Hislop ~ Our 94-year-old Mustang-driving, blingwearing, QVC-buying mother and grandma Doe drove her convertible Mustang over to the other side on Christmas Day. Doris Irene Hayes Hislop was born January 13, 1919 in Ogden, Utah at the old Dee Hospital on Harrison Blvd. She was the second of four children born to James Carl Hayes and Gertrude Eliza Grunig. She attended and graduated from Ogden High School. After high school she worked for Success Portrait Company based In Chattanooga, Tennessee where she met her future husband. On June 8, 1939, she was married to Q Perry Hislop in Virginia. The marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple in 1955. Doris and Q were married for 62 years before Q’s passing in 2001. They had three children: Patricia, Dennis, and Sheri. They lived in many locations during their marriage, including Ogden and Salt Lake City; Akron, Ohio; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Fort Worth and Lubbock, Texas; and Phoenix, Arizona. She had a great love of shopping. Thanks to QVC, she enjoyed many years of TV shopping enjoyment, although was eventually banned from QVC from excessive returns of items purchased. After Doris fell and broke her right hip in June of 2011, she needed 24/7 care. She sold her Arizona home, her Mustang convertible, her furniture, and moved to Draper, Utah. It is rumored that her relocation to Utah resulted in several lay-offs at one of the Mesa, Arizona post offices due to tremendous reductions of returned goods mailings. Grandma Doe loved golfing. She played with friends until she was 91. She was very proud of her two “holes in one.” She loved Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Grandma Doe had a wonderful sense of humor, and provided many moments of laughter by kids, grandkids, and all. She played her organ almost daily in her later years. Doris was a life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, remaining active throughout her life. Once, later in life, she said that her favorite calling was “Ward Librarian” because she got to see and speak with so many different ward members. Throughout her life she encouraged her children and family to be true and faithful to gospel principles and covenants. She is survived by her three children: Patricia (Tom) Greenwood; Dennis Guy (Brenda) Hislop; and Sandra Sheri (William) Perry; 13 grandchildren; and 22 greatgrandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband Q, parents, sister Olive Hayes Wilson, and brothers James and Jack Hayes, Q Patrick Greenwood (grandson), Kelon, and Camden Thomas (great-grandsons). Funeral Services were held Monday, December 30, 2013 at the Highlands LDS Chapel Building, 5378 W. Old Hwy Rd., Mountain Green, Utah. Interment at the Huntsville, Utah Cemetery.

Taking time to think about the question can actually be good for your health. “Research suggests that individuals who feel grateful experience lower blood pressure, improved immune functions, recover more quickly from illness, and can more effectively cope with stress,” explains Shilagh Mirgain, PhD, a health psychologist with University of Wisconsin Health. “Gratitude has one of the strongest links to mental health, more so than even optimism.” And the benefits can be life-long. A sense of gratitude can reduce the lifetime risk for depression and anxiety, and even substance abuse disorders. But what does it mean to experience gratitude? “What we’re talking about is the appreciation for what is valuable and meaningful in life,” explains Mirgain. “And the first step is to begin creating an awareness of what you are grateful for in life.” Cultivating Gratitude - Mirgain explains that cultivating a sense of gratitude involves actively noticing the good things that are occurring in life. “Feeling grateful allows us to connect to those things that make us feel glad to be alive,” she notes. Some individuals may refer to the practice as “counting your blessings,” but it is essentially taking the time to acknowledge what is going right for you and your family. Keep Track of Your Gratitude - Whether you use a journal, share on Facebook, or write on a slip of paper you place in a special jar, Mirgain suggests taking time each day to write down three to five small things you are grateful for. “Research shows that writing down what you are grateful for is more effective than just thinking the thoughts,” she says. Mirgain recommends starting out with a daily practice because it is a powerful way to shift perspective. Once you get going, you can transition to at least once a week. The effects remain just as powerful. And, you don’t have to be grateful for significant things. “It can be small things like your husband doing the dishes, or child picking up toys,” comments Mirgain. “Or, of course, major ones like getting a promotion or a child speaking her first words.” Finding the Positive - As Ella Fitzgerald sang, “Into each life a little rain must fall.” Everyone, at some point, is confronted with difficult and painful situations. And while we can’t always control what happens, we can control how we react. “A sense of gratitude can actually help us cope with stress and trauma,” says Mirgain. “And from the challenges, we can truly learn a tremendous amount about ourselves.” When dealing with a challenging situation, Mirgain recommends asking two basic questions, “Ask yourself what you have learned from the situation, and how have you become stronger as a result.” Finding a sense of gratitude, even during tough times, can help you adjust and even move on from the situation. Expressing Gratitude to Another Research has shown that one of the greatest contributing factors to overall happiness in life is how much gratitude you show. So in addition to counting the reasons why you are grateful, expressing it outwardly can also have a significant impact on your life. Whether it is a friend, colleague, family member, or some other acquaintance, we all have someone in our lives who has been a positive influence. Taking a moment to tell them whether in-person, or through a letter or phone call, will not only make them feel better, but it will benefit you too. It can also help improve the quality of your relationships. “Try telling your spouse or children why you are grateful for them,” Mirgain suggests. “You’ll be amazed at the positive influence it can have on the relationship.” Expressing the things you are grateful for can take many forms. Whether it is part of a mindfulness practice, or it is a topic of conversation with a friend, the important thing is to find a practice that works for you. “Mix it up,” Mirgain suggests. “Through art or journaling, meditation or conversation, finding what you are grateful for is a discovery that can lead to profound changes in your life.” |
