Jack Magnuson obit notice

Castle Dale - Jack LeRoy Magnuson, 86, passed away September 25, 2015 from injuries sustained in a four-wheeling accident. He was born July 22, 1929 in Castle Dale, Utah to Charles and Ada Faye Jeffs Magnuson.

On November 25, 1955 he married the love of his life, Janet Wickman in Ely, Nevada. Their marriage was later solemnized on May 13, 1997 in the Manti Temple. Jack and Janet were only two months shy of their 60th wedding anniversary.

He was raised in Castle Dale, Utah. At the age of 16 he moved to California with his father to work in the grape fields. After a short stay, he returned to Castle Dale and worked in the oil fields and for US Fuel Co. in Hiawatha, Utah as a shuttle car operator until he joined the U.S. Army in 1951. He served in Fort Lewis, Washington until his honorable discharge in March 1953. He returned to Castle Dale and resumed employment at US Fuel.

In the early 1960s they started a small building material store in their backyard. He would work at the mine whenever possible and, with the help of Janet, maintained the lumber store too. The business was so successful that, in 1965, he was able to purchase property on Castle Dale Main Street and build his first store. The business grew and flourished until he built the large Magnuson Lumber building in 1984. It is still operating today, 50 years later. 

He loved to spend time with friends and family traveling the country and at his Joe’s Valley Ranch. He spent many memorable days vacationing with his grandchildren.

He served many years on the Castle Dale City Council. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He and Janet served nine years at the church cannery and served a two year humanitarian mission. He found great joy in helping others. Wherever he went, he was always willing to lend a helping hand.

He is survived by his wife Janet, son Randy (Laurel) Magnuson, daughter Jarilyn Spears; His grandchildren, Dallas (Shanna) Magnuson, Lindsey (Cody) Oman, McKenzie (Chance) Garrison, Eric (Caitlin) Spears, Leisha Magnuson and McCall Spears; His great-grandchildren, Korbin Garrison, Mylie Magnuson, Macee Garrison, Olivia Spears, Peyton Oman, Dreyden Oman, and Jaxton Oman. He is preceded in death by his great-granddaughter Maeli McCall Garrison; his parents Charles and Ada Faye Jeffs Magnuson; brothers Paul and Bruce; sisters Twila, Jenny, and Valora.

Jean Reaveley Obit Notice

A beautiful heart took its last breath on September 15, 2015, as Jean succumbed to her illness surrounded by loved ones. Jean was born to Marvin and Pauline Dickson (Brunner) on February 27, 1929 in Heber City, UT. The family later moved to Salt Lake City, UT, where she grew up and graduated from South High School. Her first marriage was to Edward LaRocque (Rock) Campbell on August 14, 1946 in Salt Lake City. They were married for 27 years. She later married Donald G. Reaveley in Elko, NV on May 30, 1981.

Jean is survived by husband Don, daughter Vicki (Steve) Rogers, son Mark (Silvia) Campbell, and predeceased by son Brig Campbell and daughter Tori Larsen. Also survived by stepchildren Terrie McCans (Reavely) and Don Reavely, Jr., sisters Darlene Cornwall and Kay Hoagland, 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

Jean loved her family and friends fiercely, generously and unconditionally. Don was the love of her life for 34 years. His love for her was ultimately demonstrated by his loyalty and dedicated care during her illness, to the very end.

Her zest for life was evident in all her activities, interests and spontaneous nature. She was passionate about bridge, bowling, cards and anything else that came her way, and she made it fun for everyone sharing the experience with her. She was also an active member of the Women's Auxiliary of the Disabled American Veterans for several years and served as State Department Commander during part of her tenure.

Though she will be dearly missed, the qualities and character Jean possessed and so freely shared with others will live on in perpetuity through all the lives she touched.

The family wishes to acknowledge and express their gratitude to the staff of Legacy Village Memory Care and Aspire Home Health & Hospice for their compassionate care during Jean's final days.

Burial will be at Crestview Cemetery in Price, UT.

Private family services to be held.
