Doyl N Ipson

Doyl N Ipson, 79, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 9, 2014, at his home in Cedar City, Utah. Doyl was born on April 9, 1935, to Nello Parl and Isabella Henrie Ipson, in Provo, Utah, and grew up in Panguitch, Utah. He married his sweetheart, Kathryn Henrie, on June 16, 1954, in the Manti Temple, and they enjoyed sixty wonderful years together. He served two missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, one to the Central Atlantic States Mission soon after he was married, and the other, with Kathryn, to the South Africa Johannesburg Mission. He felt education was important, earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees and supporting his children in their efforts to get an education. He loved his country and served in the Utah National Guard, the Army, and the Air Force. He enjoyed a long career with the Church Education System as a seminary teacher in Cedar City, a coordinator of seminaries in California, the Hawaiian Islands, Utah, and Nevada, and, following a three-month illness in 1975, as an institute teacher in Cedar City. He loved the men he worked with and the students he taught. He spent many happy days fixing up the family cabin and fishing at Panguitch Lake. He is survived by his wife, Kathryn, their children, JoAnn (Brian Hall), Sandra (James Tindell), and James (Lori Heath), and foreign-exchange-student Susana Borrero, their nine grandchildren, Chani, Trevor, Kelsey, and Tyler Hall, and Sara, Ruth, Peter, Mary, and Matthew Ipson, and by his sister, Nila Mae, and brother, Boyd (Amber Graff). The family wishes to express gratitude to the many medical professionals who assisted Doyl through his illness, especially Dr. Thomas Marshall and Ethan Bunker.
