Show B4 The Emery County Review, Tuesday, May 20, 2008 TRIBUTE Owen Boyd Hunt Allan David Patterson SALEM/CASTLE DALE - With his wife and family by his side, Allan David Patterson, 79, passed away on May 17, 2008, at the home of his son in Enterprise, Alabama, after having suffered a stroke. Allan was born Oct 2, 1928 in Leland, Utah to David Archibald Patterson and Nellie Elizabeth Stone. He grew up on a small farm in Salem, Utah. The first time he saw Lois Barnett--”that gorgeous redhead”-- he fell in love. She was engaged to someone else but he didn’t let that stop him. He married Lois 6 weeks later, April 12, 1954, in the Manti LDS Temple. They celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary last month. Their mutual devotion to the gospel of Jesus Christ, to the LDS church, to family and friends has been a great influence for good in countless lives. Allan graduated from Spanish Fork high school in 1946; he then served two years in the Central States LDS mission. He received his Bachelor’s from Brigham Young University and Master’s from Long Beach State in elementary education. He held many church callings over the years, but his favorite was probably ward clerk, where he could meticulously check and recheck every number. Allan worked as a teacher and administrator of elementary education at schools in California, Samoa, and Utah. He never much cared for administration but as a teacher, he regularly doubled students’ expected reading growth. He also taught in the Education Department at Southern Utah University and published several textbooks. He worked for many years in mining and construction, and kept a garden and orchard large enough to help feed eight children as well as many neighbors. He could build anything and enthusiastically taught his children countless skills and the value of hard physical labor. It has been rumored (truthfully) that he was so cheap that after the yard got toilet papered, he made his children gather and reuse the tissue. One Christmas he announced that he would demonstrate the new pogo stick--he fell off on the third bounce and broke his leg. After retirement, Allan immersed himself in his true passion, genealogy. He was very proud of his Scottish heritage. He collects pelicans, the symbol on the Patterson family crest. Together he and Lois served missions to the Genealogical Libraries in New York, NY and in Salt Lake City, UT. He didn’t have much time for hobbies or similar gobbledygook, but he did love John Wayne, Myth Busters, and a good Tom Clancy novel. He frequently called his granddaughters “Twinkle Toes”, asked his grandchildren what flavor their thumbs tasted, and liked to tease them about the Happy Easter Pig and other nonsensical fairy tales, just to get them riled up. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers, Keith and Glenn Rice, and sisters Beth (John) Jensen and Iris (Lamar) Phillips. His family includes his wife Lois Barnett and their eight children: Erik Patterson of Tampa, FL; Brenda (Jeff) Worthen of Green River, WY; Scott (Shawn) Patterson of Spring Creek, NV; Brian (Belinda) Patterson of Enterprise, AL; Craig (Shaundi) Patterson of South Jordan, UT; Todd (DeAnn) Patterson of Green River, WY; Julia (Curt) Russell of Springville, UT; and Lisa (Nyle) Butterworth of Boise, ID; their twenty-four grandchildren: Brev, Shad, Josie, Kennedy, James, Tamara, Stacy, Jacob, Mitch, Brett, Brock, Aleah, Alex, Kaitlyn, Emily, Porter, Kirsti, Leslie, Laura, Seth, Danielle, Nya, Ily, and Dax; and their four greatgrandchildren: Spencer, Maddie, Conner, and Alexis, and two babies due this summer.
