Our mother, grandmother and friend, Colleen Ane Coleman Moore, passed away surrounded by her family on March 11, 2017 in American Fork, Utah.  She was born July 2, 1929 in Manti, Utah the daughter of Vasco Carrol and Venona Marie Madsen Coleman.  She was raised in the happy home of Venona Madsen and her second husband, Earl Gleason, in Milford, Utah. Earl was a railroad engineer and Mother fell in love with the handsome son of another railroad engineer, Maurice George Moore, who lived nearby in her small town. She married her high school truelove on September 14, 1946 in Milford, Utah immediately prior to his Navy service in World War II. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple July 26, 1948 after he returned home. 

Colleen was an active member of the LDS Church. Family and gospel were the center of her life. Her happiest hours were spent keeping a loving home for her children and husband. As children we felt like the troubles of the world were kept at bay once we reached home and walked through the front door. Our mother gave a lifetime of service in all the organizations of the LDS church, was an ordinance worker in the Provo Temple and served as a true partner with Dad in his many religious responsibilities.  At the young age of 32 years, Mother and Dad were called to serve a 3 year mission in the British Church Building Program. Two of their children were born while serving there. They built a beautiful chapel near the London Temple and worked miracles. Their professional lives were centered in the construction business. Mother and Dad were together both at home and at work. Dad ran a successful business building over 100 chapels across Utah and surrounding areas. Mother was at his side running the home office and keeping books.

Mother lost dad in 2008 to terminal ALS but chose to greet her widowed life with a smile. She inspired those who met her. She tackled her own health challenges with courage and determination and wanted to be a compassionate friend to all. She lived in assisted living for the last four years of her life. It was a fun time to sit at Mother’s dinner table there and enjoy lively stories and good conversation. She found many new friends whom she loved and they loved her back.

Survivors include:  Douglas (Deborah) Moore; Debra (Bob) Fotheringham; Dan (Ali) Moore; Karen (Randy) Diamond; 24 grandchildren; 55 great grandchildren; and a great great grandchild.  She is preceded in death by her husband, Maurice; her parents and a brother Jim Gleason.  Funeral services will be held Thursday March 16, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. in the American Fork 26th Ward, 975 North 60 East.   A viewing will be held Thursday at the church from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m.  Burial in the East Lawn Cemetery, Provo, Utah.  Please share a memory at andersonmortuary.com.

Our family wishes to express our appreciation for the devoted attention of the Charleston Assisted Living staff, Stonehenge of American Fork, and OneCare Hospice. Their professionalism and service went above and beyond common care to a level of highest excellence.

Years ago, Brigitte was nicknamed "Sweetie" by her grandchildren. A fitting name for such a sweet lady. She was known for her generosity and unconditional love. Sweetie loved lots of things but she especially loved being outside, her family, music and photos.  She never went anywhere without her camera and you had only to look through her many, many collections of photos to see that she was happiest when out in nature or surrounded by her kids and grandkids. Family was always front and center of her world. However, it didn't take much to earn yourself a place in Sweetie's heart. She was famous for befriending just about anyone. 
She was the type of person who would arrive as a stranger and leave as a new friend

She could strike up a conversation anywhere with anyone. 
She opened her home to anyone who needed it and was happy to do so. She loved to care for and give to others. Whether it be a hot meal, open door, ear to listen, or a life lesson to give – she was always there. 

Her family will hold close the memories of her fun French accent, many songs she loved, always listening to music, her encouragement to help those around you, her many stories and her countless teachings. If you were with Sweetie you knew you were expected to pitch in and help and to use your manners! 
Sweetie has left her mark in numberless ways and will never be forgotten.

Louise Beck (Meyers) Nerney
1928 ~ 2017

“Nana” Louise passed away peacefully at home in Santa Cruz California on April 18, 2017 surrounded by her children, puppy and flower garden. One of the world’s most compassionate souls, Louise was born in American Fork Utah on December 14, 1928 to Laura Pulley (Beck) Larsen and Horace Beck.

Steel Days Queen 1952, she was American Fork’s most beautiful girl, inside and out. BYU graduate, she married John Meyers, and they had three children (Kim, Tony, and Becky) during John’s medical school years at the University of Utah. The young Air Force family traveled extensively before settling in California where Louise worked for many years at Stanford University.

In 1990 she was married to Alan Nerney and moved to Santa Cruz where the couple shared great happiness. She loved dancing, sunsets and moon rise, driving to Davenport with Yogi, flowers, and family – especially sharing and tending her grandmother’s rose garden with those she loved. She loved deeply and gave freely and her loss leaves an immeasurable void.

Nana Louise, we feel blessed to have had you as an important part of our lives and will always cherish the times we have spent together. So thanks, not just for your gifts and thoughtfulness, but for your presence, support, and love. You made the world a special place. With love- Sisters: JennaVee Worthen, LaRae Nelson, Charlotte Corbett, Jeanne Duncan. Brother: Douglas Larsen(dec). Husbands: John Meyers (dec) and Alan Nerney (dec). Children: Kim Meyers, Tony Meyers, Becky Meyers (and Yogi). Grandchildren: Andrea, John, Michelle, Madison, Matthew, Savanna. Great Grandchildren: Marco and Bobbi.

Nancy Makin (beloved daughter, sister, aunt & friend) passed away on April 27, 2017.  She is the daughter of Ernest LeRoy and LaVerle Neves Makin.  Born on March 19, 1947 in the American Fork Hospital, she lived most of her life in Pleasant Grove.


After High School, Nancy attended Southern Utah University where she graduated with a BS degree in Elementary Education & Instructional Media.  During both High School & College, she enjoyed actively participating in Drama; starring in plays and painting scenery.


Fondly known as “Teacher Nancy”, she was a gifted teacher.  She loved children.  The students she taught & tutored ranged in age from pre-school to Jr. High.  Her unique style of teaching was high energy, expressive & interactive.  She taught many students how to read using a phonics based reading program she developed.  She also liked to teach with objects.  Clever sayings or concepts were taught with each object.  Nancy truly believed the more senses used, the greater the learning.  During her lessons she made sure every student knew how important, smart & valued they were. 
Nancy was a devoted member of the LDS Church.  Throughout her life she avidly taught & reinforced gospel principles.  She served an LDS mission In Alberta-Saskatchewan, Canada serving the native american people.  After her mission she served in various callings.  However, she mostly served in Primary.  (Many, many years in Primary.)

Nancy had a generous & giving heart.  Visitors would never leave her home without something in their hands (a treat or small toy with a meaningful thought).  Children at church would search for Nancy to receive a fun “teaching trinket" from her bag.  When working in a sandwich shop near the Grand Canyon, she wished the owners would allow her to put more meat in sandwiches for the hungry tourists.  

Nancy is survived by her brothers Arden (Lyda) Makin, Carl (Tamera) Makin and sister Ardith (Lawrence) Higley.  Along with many nieces and nephews and brother-in-law Kenneth Gray.  She is preceded in death by her parents and sister, Linda.

Funeral Services will be held on Friday May 5, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. in the Mt. Mahogany Stake Center (1548 N. 900 W. Pleasant Grove).  A viewing will be held Thursday from 6-8 p.m. at the Anderson & Sons Mortuary (49 East 100 North, American Fork) and Friday 9:45-10:45 prior to the services at the church.  Interment will take place at the Pleasant Grove City Cemetery.
