Obituary-John Owen Cornia


 John finally got his only wish and went home to be with the love of his life on New Year’s Day.


John Owen Cornia was the second of four children born to Dodge and Lilly Cornia born on January 13th in 1935.

John grew up in Woodruff Utah and spent his youth fishing up Woodruff Creek and had often said that it was the creek that raised him.   John’s mom was a talented seamstress and he and his brothers wore many beautifully crafted western shirts.   This wasn’t something that as a child he loved, but he and his brothers were the envy of many young men in those shirts. 

John went to school in Woodruff as a child and his upper education was in Randolph Utah, it was here as a Junior that he started dating and fell in love with the love of his life Anna Mae Kennedy.  She often said that he was the best dancer that she had ever danced with and that’s how he hooked her.  They married on February 10th 1956 in Randolph Utah and were later joined together for time and all eternity in the Logan Temple on April 19, 1965.

John and AnnaMae had six children. He worked hard to support his family; often times working two jobs until he was able to find work at the P&M Coal mine in Kemmerer, Wyoming where he completed his career and retired.  After retiring John spent his time working on the ranch and doing woodworking. He was talented and gifted items to family and friends.

Conversations with John quite often ended up with his talking about his regret in not having a better relationship with his children, all of which he loved deeply.  Anytime he received mail from them or his grandchildren, his countenance would perk up but quite often ended in tears of regret.  He loved his family so much, he missed his wife each and every second of the day and would pause to look at her picture every time he walked down the hall to his bedroom.

John is survived by his children, Grass (Donna) Cornia of Spanish Fork Utah, Cathy (Alvin) McNeil of Marion Utah, Shorty(Jeannie) Cornia of Midland Texas, Rodney (Joannie) Cornia of Washington Utah, Jackie (Jimmy) O’Halloran of Spring Park Minnesota, and Dan Cornia of Randolph Utah; brothers Scott (Betty) Cornia of Randolph Utah and Tick Cornia of Woodruff Utah, 16 grandchildren, 34 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild.

John was proceeded in death by his wife AnnaMae, father Dodge Cornia, mother Lilly Cornia, and sister Maxine Nichols.

We would like to thank all the staff at Compassionate Journey who made John feel at home as soon as he walked in the door.  The love, compassion, and service they give their clients is unmatched and greatly appreciated.  Special thanks to Jaime with Cowboy Care for her quick response to care for John and relieve him from pain.  We would also like to express our appreciation to Crandall’s Funeral home for the caring service they provide.

Obituary-Shirlene Sorensen Fisher


 

Loving, determined, caring, faith-filled, beautiful, supportive, devout, classy, inclusive, musical. A few words from the list that describe Shirlene Rae Sorenson Fisher. She was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend. Shirlene was reunited in heaven with her husband and other family on December 30, 2022. She was 82 years old, living in Taylorsville at the time of her passing. Her death was a result of natural causes incident to age.

Shirlene was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on November 2, 1940, to Dale and Geneva Sorenson. She attended then graduated from South High School. Shirlene graduated from Stevens-Henager College as well. She then went to work for Bennet's as a computer operator. Not long after, she agreed to a blind date, and met Walter Fisher. They married on May 5, 1960. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple on June 26,1969. Walter passed away in November 2021.

Mom was a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In addition to many music callings, she served in the Relief Society, Young Women, and Primary. Mom had an enduring, special faith in the power of prayer, and loved being in the temple.

For almost three decades, she dedicated her life to caring for her son, Wayne, after a serious accident that caused a debilitating traumatic brain injury. She was always at his side during rehab, while he finished his undergraduate degree at the University of Utah, and dutifully caring for all his needs. She was recognized by the Live with Regis and Kathie Lee Show on an annual Mother's Day ""Mom's Dreams Come True"" episode.


Mom and Dad built their dream home on Sweetwater Mountain near Bear Lake. They lived there for about 15 years. She still found time to continue being a loving mother and doting, supportive grandmother to all her grandchildren, no matter how they became members of the family. She also loved and served her neighbors well.

Shirlene was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Walter, two grandchildren, Michael and Erica, her brother, James, and her parents. She is survived by her children, Lauri (Kris) Rainey, Bart (Brenda) Fisher, Shelli (Chuck) Moore, Daneen (Harold) Nolte, Wayne Fisher, and Shaunel Abele, 19 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her siblings Diana Young, Marsha Davis, Kevin Sorenson, Kathy Barnes, and a whole bunch of nieces and nephews.

Shirlene's funeral was held on Saturday, January 7, 2023, Internment will be at Mountain View Memorial Estates in Cottonwood Heights. The family would like to thank the staff at Ashby Home and Hospice (especially Britanee!) and The Cottage at Legacy House in Taylorsville. More than anyone, thank you mom for loving and teaching us.

Laws, laws, laws and more laws........

 

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — About a dozen new laws will go into effect in Utah as we cross into the new year, including a new consumer privacy act, property tax changes, and crime victim protections.

Below are the most prominent bills, and at the bottom of this post is a list of additional laws.

Consumer Privacy Act (SB 227)

Sponsored by Sen. Kirk Cullimore and Rep. Brady Brammer

This new law will give consumers more rights over their personal information collected by companies. Utah will join California, Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia this year in enacting privacy protections. Utah’s bill specifically addresses information such as biometric data, children’s data, pseudonymous data (or data that can’t be specifically attached to a certain person), public information, geolocation data, credit reporting, and targeted advertising, among others. Businesses will have 45 days to react to requests made and may have the right to extend that 45-day period in some cases.

Bottom of Form

Under this act, consumers will have the right to:

  • Access and delete certain personal data maintained by certain businesses.
  • Opt out of the collection of personal data for certain purposes.

Businesses will be required to:

  • Provide safeguards for personal data.
  • Provide clear information to consumers on how their data is being used.
  • Accept and comply with a consumer’s requests to delete or stop selling consumer data.

The bill allows the Division of Consumer Protection and the Utah Attorney General’s Office to investigate and enforce the new law. The law will apply to businesses that have annual revenues of $25 million or more and meets one or more of the following thresholds:

  • Controls or processes the personal data of 100,000 or more people.
  • Derives over 50% of their gross revenue from the sale of personal data when they control or process the data of 25,000 or more consumers.

Certain government agencies, higher education systems, nonprofits, and other entities are exempt from the rules.

Victim Address Confidentiality Program (HB 117)

Sponsored by Rep. Stephanie Pitcher and Sen. Todd Weiler

This bill creates a program to help obscure publicly available addresses for the victims of certain crimes. The Address Confidentiality Program would help victims of abuse, child abuse, domestic violence, stalking, sexual offenses, and human trafficking. It would also apply to incapacitated individuals.

Under the program, a victim’s mail could be sent to a government address, and then have that mail forwarded to the victim to help protect their anonymity. There would be no cost to the victim to participate. Victims could remain in the program for four years.

Modifications to Driver’s License Exams (SB 206)

Sponsored by Sen. Luz Escamilla and Rep. Robert Spendlove

This new law provides drivers with limited English skills the opportunity to take their driver’s license exam in some other languages. This change also extends to Class D license holders looking to apply for or renew their license. The bill states that Utah will provide exams in the top five most commonly spoken languages in the state other than English, which as currently include Spanish, Chinese, German, Austronesian and Portuguese.

Vehicle Registration Amendments (HB 186)

Sponsored by Rep. Raymond Ward and Sen. Wayne Harper

These amendments change the registration fees for certain vehicles (mostly electric and hybrid vehicles) and modify the eligibility of the Road Usage Charge Program.

Parent Access to School Data Comparison (HB 270)

Sponsored by Rep. Karen Peterson and Sen. Ann Millner

This bill requires the State Board of Education to provide a searchable school comparison tool online so that parents can compare the performance of public schools.

Mobile Workforce Income Tax Amendments (SB 39)

This bill exempts certain nonresident workers from Utah income tax if they work in the state for 20 or fewer days. The bill does not apply to:

  • Professional entertainers who work on a per-event basis.
  • Professional athletes or members of a professional athletic team.
  • Workers who perform construction services to improve real estate or who work as laborers on construction sites.
  • “Key employees” who worked for a company for the previous year, including officers and one of the 50 highest-paid workers for a company.

Other bills going into effect on Jan. 1, 2023 include
