Sheron Bitton Musgrave January 9, 1934 ~ May 9, 2018 She was the “it” girl of their class, so he was too shy to ever approach. She took a comb from his pocket. The next day she was waiting for him on the stairs. She held out the comb and asked, “Will you go to the girls dance with me?” From there, a fairytale romance to last a lifetime was set into motion.... Our sweet mother Sheron Bitton Musgrave died just as she lived, surrounded by loved ones, her hand held by her ninth-grade sweetheart Tom Musgrave. The couple married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple May 28, 1953, the starting point of never-ending devotion and a joint adventure. Sheron got the ultimate happy surprise when her fourth baby showed up as a mischievous boy/girl pair. She was the tireless mother of five to Julie, Danny, Jed, and twins Matt and Melanie. This was a job she excelled at, where the true nature of our mother’s soul was best exemplified. Fittingly nicknamed “The Baby Whisperer,” Sheron could soothe even the fussiest little one. As 18 grandchildren and 22 CLEAR AIR cont. from page 1 Weber School District as a school lunch lady. Sharon was a very good gardener. She loved canning and cooking and was very good at it. She also loved collecting all types of cookbooks. She is remembered for her crocheted items. Sharon is survived by numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents; brothers Samuel and Jerry, and sister Joyce Marriott Atkinson. Special thanks to the nieces and nephews for providing loving care, and especially to Jan for welcoming Sharon into her home for the past two years. Services will be held on Saturday, May 19, 2018, at 12:00 with a viewing prior to services from 11 to 11:45 a.m. at Myers Mortuary, 845 Washington Blvd., Ogden, Utah. Interment at the Plain City Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to the family at <www.myers-mortuary.com> great-grandchildren can attest, she had a soothing voice and a comforting presence. A woman before her time, Mom not only managed our household, but she cultivated a career outside of our home. She was employed at the Weber Adult Probation Department, North Ogden Junior High, and the Weber County Recorder’s Office, from where she retired. Sheron spent countless hours improving her community with her volunteer group Ladies of Camenae and through her various church positions. Even on her weakest days, she’d run a brush through her hair and smear on mascara to keep a lunch date with many of her close high school friends. Above all else, Mom valued people and the time she spent with them. She will continue to cheer for us, but now she will be joined by her parents Dee and Leone Bitton, and her son Matt. Though we will miss our wife, mother, sister and grandmother, we know that this is a fairytale with a “happily ever after,” a true prince charming, and that, because of our mother’s capacity to love, it’s a story without an ending—just a new kind of beginning. Funeral services were held Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at Lindquist’s North Ogden Mortuary, 2140 N. Washington Blvd. Interment, West Weber Cemetery. We’d like to thank Aspen Ridge Hospice Care and Right at Home Care, particularly Vicki Hopkins for her years of love and tenderness shown toward our family matriarch.

Condolences may be shared at <www. lindquistmortuary.com> Thom says there are no perfect answers, but there are practical solutions. Driving less, carpooling, using mass transit and telecommuting—those are practical solutions that make a difference. He points to the Utah Clear the Air Challenge as another solution that is working well. The Challenge is a month-long competition that gives individuals and businesses the chance to reduce vehicle emissions by choosing alternatives to driving. Results from the 2016 Challenge showed that the 2,281 participants reduced C02 emissions by 492.6 tons for the month of February. “It all boils down to one person, one business at a time,” Thom continued. As Thom told me, when it comes to air quality, “Everyone is the problem, so everyone is the solution. Every small change adds to a collective bigger step toward better health, a better economy and better overall quality of life for all of us.” For example, with more than half the state’s air pollution coming from vehicles, individuals and businesses can make a significant difference in our air quality simply by changing their driving habits. According to the Utah Division of Air Quality, if all drivers living along the Wasatch Front were to park their cars just one day per week, vehicle emissions would be Note: This article originally ran in January reduced by 6,500 tons per year. 2018 on UTAHPOLICY.COM’s website. |
