George Walter Broschinsky, 80, passed away January 17, 2018, at his home in Murray, Utah. George was born on December 6, 1937 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Karma Knowlton and Walter Rodney Broschinsky. He was the oldest of five children. He attended Davis High School, but left to attend the University of Utah when he was just 16. George graduated from the "U" with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. He met the love of his life, Myrna Christiansen, while they were both working at Lagoon. George served a mission for the LDS Church in France and Belgium, from 1958 to 1961.

In 1975, George was called as Mission President of the newly created France Toulouse Mission. He and Myrna loved France, the French people, the language and the missionaries with all their hearts. Returning from his mission, George sold insurance, taught insurance classes, and finally taught writing and French classes for Continuing Education and Senior Centers.

You can be proud of your father for the service he gave to the Lord and the sacrifices he made while starting the France Toulouse Mission. I'm sure he is having a great reunion with Myrna. May God bless you during this time.

Emmanuel.

Condolences to the Family of George Walter Broschinsky.

My name is Truman Jepson and I am a cousin of George and met him only once at Utah Boy's State in 1955, I believe! Some how we learned of our relationship and were good friends during Boy's State. I knew he was from Lagoon or that he worked there during the summer. I was also born in 1937 but George was 5 months older than me and I lived in Hurricane, Utah. I was born May 27, 1937.

After Boy's State, we went our separate ways and I had forgotten about George until my brother Don mentioned he had delivered his book on "Jepson Family History" to George where George remembered and talked to Don about me and Boy's State. Don reminded me about that just a short time before George's passing. I was looking forward to becoming reacquainted with George only to learn of his passing. I guess George and I will have to talk about that and old times when I meet him on the other side!

Sounds like George was a great man and a wonderful Mission President.

I hope you are all well and that your grieving process will be short and that you will all remember the greatness of this good man!

My deepest condolences to you at this very difficult time. I knew both George and your mother when we were classmates at Davis High School. George (and your mother) were very popular and well-liked.

May Heavenly Father wrap you in the arms of His great love and whisper peace to all.

We got word of George's passing via the senior center calling his French students. My father-in-law, Lloyd Johnson, thoroughly enjoyed being in his classes over the years and loved his stories about Paris and the French people and culture. Please know that Instructor Broschinsky will be missed. God be with all of of family survivors at this time.
