Elgie Garner Obituary
ST. CHARLES - Elgie (Geeg) Pugmire Garner, 82, passed away peacefully Tuesday evening, May 13, 2008, surrounded by her family at the Bear Lake Memorial Hospital in Montpelier, Idaho.
She was born May 23, 1925, to LaMont and Myrtle Pugmire in St. Charles, Idaho.
She married LeRoy Duane Garner November 18, 1943 ,in the Logan LDS Temple To this union were born three children, Nick (Elaine) of Sandy, Utah, Van L. (Cindy) of St. Charles, Idaho, and DeAnn (Mark ) Wittle of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Elgie and Duane made their home in South Salt Lake, where she worked along side her husband at Exchange Parts for many years. Upon retiring, she spent summer months in Garden City, Utah, and winter months in St. George, Utah, and the last year back home in St. Charles with her son, Van.
Elgie treasured the time she and Duane spent in St. George, loved being with all her grandchildren and was an avid Jazz fan. She also enjoyed her bowling years. When her family would get together, Geeg was the life of the party. There is and will be a huge void in so many lives.
Mom, we love you. You will be truly missed!

I thought I would be able to express my sympathy in person, but circumstances have changed and I will not be able to attend the funeral of Elgie. I am a daughter of Stanley and Lanore Arnell. I was glad I was able to visit with Elgie for awhile at Ada's funeral. It was nice that the family could be with her at the time of her passing. May you enjoy the peace of knowing that your mother is now with others who love her.

My deepest sympathy to the family of GEEG. I enjoyed bowling with your Mother for many, many years.
She was a true friend--one that will
be missed dearly. She is now at peace and enjoying her husband and
friends that have previously passed.
