Hope Latham Obituary
1923 ~ 2011
Our wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, Hope Wowlett Davis Latham passed away suddenly December 19, 2011 at the age of 88. She was born July 17, 1923 in Monroe, Utah to William Jasper and Clarisa Howlett. Hope was raised in Kanosh and spent her teen age years in Magna where she graduated from Cyprus H.S. She married Vernal Jay Davis December 29, 1941 in the Salt Lake Temple. They were blessed with 2 children. Jay passed away May 26, 1954 leaving her to manage their lumber and hardware store at the age of 30. Hope married Ronald George Latham August 13, 1955 in Las Vegas, NV. They had 3 sons.
Hope enjoyed bowling, reading, doing crossword puzzles and was a fan of the JAZZ and BYU basketball. As an active member of the LDS church she had many callings. She had many friends and loved helping them, and was loved by them. Most of all she loved her family, especially her little grandchildren. As 5 year old Austin said, "She is my favorite Grandma", all us agree.
Hope is survived by husband; daughter, Gail (Dennis) Warr; sons, Jerry (LuLu) Davis, Douglas (Sue) Latham, Corey (Vickie) Latham, and Randy ( Rowena) Latham; sister, June (Homer) Page; 16 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her first husband; parents; and sister, Dawna Alexander.

On behalf of the family of Garn Lloyd Pearson, we would like to express our deepest condolences on the passing of our dear cousin Hope. It's sad to lose such a wonderful human being, but a compound tragedy when close cousin-friends leave this earth within weeks of each other. My darling father, Garn, Hope's dear cousin, left us on New Years Day. Our heartfelt sympathies are with you at this most difficult time. - Phyllis, Janet, David, and Michael Pearson

Sending love and prayers to all of Hope's family. I am so glad that I had the pleasure of visiting Hope & Ron with Alona this past summer after the Howlett Cousin's Reunion. Also happy that I have been able to re-connect with the family these past years after Mom's (Joyce Howlett Nesbit) passing. Hope was always so welcoming and full of love.
All the best and sincere sympathy.

We send our love to all of Hope's family. We would love to be there for the funeral. We last saw Hope at Donna's funerl. Was that just a year ago last summer? I sent June Page a picture I took at the time of her funeral. Hope she gets it.
Hope was always full of Hope and Love for everyone. She was like my big sister too. Love to you all.

Gail, Dennis & Family, Jerry LuLu & Family, and entire Latham Family,
It is with our deepest sympathy that we send you our love and condolences. Aunt Hope was a sweet, wonderful and very kind person and we know that your hearts are really sad right now. Isn't it comforting that the gospel reminds us that we will be with our loved ones in the next life. We wish we could be there for the services and to give you the love and hugs you need and deserve at this time. All of our best and with deepest sympathy for your loss.
