Bruce Wursten Obituary

Our loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and uncle, Bruce Robert Wursten, 83, returned home to his Heavenly Father on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 surrounded by his family in St. George. He was born June 22, 1932 in Southgate, California, the son of John A. and Mary Athelia Wilson Wursten.
Bruce grew up in Riverside, California. After graduating high school, he served his country during the Korean War. He then attended BYU where he met Roberta Manwill, the love of his life. They were married in the LDS Los Angeles Temple June 1, 1956.
With a beautiful voice, Bruce shared his talent with many. He had offers to sing professionally, but because of his devotion for family, chose to use his love of music teaching in the secondary schools in Richfield, Utah for 25 years.
