Elvin Samuel Reed's Obituary
St. George, Utah
–
Elvin Samuel Reed was born May 2, 1923 in Surrey, North Dakota to Stewart Samuel Reed and Elsie Klimpel Reed. He passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 30, 2017 in St. George, Utah.
Elvin attended school in Granville, North Dakota and graduated from Granville High School in 1941. Shortly after graduation, he moved to Burbank, California with his parents and brother to work at Lockheed Aircraft.
Elvin served in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II. After which, he married Dawna Joy Peterson on October 6, 1945 in Las Vegas, Nevada. They enjoyed 65 years of a loving marriage. Together they had two daughters: Alease (Carl) Stronberg of St. George, Utah and Ellie (Mark) Pippert of Burbank, California; twin grandchildren: Brittney (Clyde) Nelson of St. George, Utah and Brandon Pippert of Burbank, California; a great-grandson, Blake Nelson and soon-to-be great-granddaughter.
Elvin retired after 27 years as a power plant mechanic with the city of Burbank. In 1987, he and Dawna moved to St. George, Utah.
Elvin's favorite past times included: family, grandkids, fishing, gardening, drinking a "blast" at Baskin Robbins, and watching the Utah Jazz.
Elvin was preceded in death by his parents, Samuel and Elsie Reed; his brother, Melvin Reed; wife, Dawna Reed; and his son-in-law, Carl Stronberg.
The family wishes to extend our sincere thanks to The Spring Gardens Senior Living Home and all of the many doctors, nurses, aids and friends that helped him and provided care.
