Rice, Maryellen (Cannon) Maryellen Rice, nee Cannon born in 1943 in Camden New Jersey passed on to a better place on September 9, 2003 after a short but intense battle with lung cancer. She was my best friend and soul mate for 35 years and I will miss her very much, but the pain and suffering she endured for the last three months is finally over. She had worked at a job she loved, and that was being a flight attendant. She was with Eastern Airlines from 1965, with a family raising break in service, to the end of that organization and then with American Trans Air for eleven years and finally with Freedom Air of the Mesa Air Group. Her husband, son, daughter, three brothers, a sister, her mother and many other family members survive her. There will be a viewing on September 13, 2003 from 4:00 P.M. until 7:00 P.M. and then a service at the funeral home at 7:00 P.M. The funeral home is the Heritage Funeral Chapel located at 6830 West Thunderbird Road, Peoria AZ. 85381. Maryellen will be cremated and placement of the ashes in a family niche in St. Thomas cemetery at a later date. The choice of flowers or a donation to Hospice of the Valley is yours to make. In closing I would like to have you all read the inscription I am having put on the prayer cards, it is called "Gone from my sight". I am standing on the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says: "there she is gone!" "Gone where?" Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me not in her. And just at that moment when someone at my side says: "There she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: "Here she comes!" And that is dying. The Arizona Republic on 9/11/2003.

Gorman, Michael Michael Gorman Michael Vincent Gorman passed away in his sleep at his home on September 9, 2003, after bravely battling an illness for the past five years. Adored and loved by his wife of 58 years, Patricia, and beloved by his four daughters, Kathleen Gorman Rice, Diane Mabante, Nancy Gorman Rogers and Colleen Will. He was a good and decent man and a wise and compassionate "Papa" to his grandchildren: Shannon and Shaun Rice, Nicole and Micah Mabante, Michael Vincent Gorman Rogers, and Meghann and Clare Will. There could never be a finer father-in-law, and he will live on in his sons-in-law's hearts: Jimmy Rice, James Mabante, Jim Rogers, and Jeffrey Will. He was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota on September 22, 1922 to Michael James and Anna Hoffman Gorman. He graduated from St. James Academy. When he became ill with rheumatic fever, he was sent to recover in Tucson, and he never forgot how much he loved Arizona. He earned a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting at the University of North Dakota, and then received a scholarship to attend Northwestern University Law School in Chicago. He completed two years of law school, before leaving, due to the fact he had to get a job and pay off medical bills for his family. He quickly realized that he was not meant for the world of accounting, because he was such a people person. He spent one day in sales, and he knew he was born to be a salesman. He became "the closer" in every company he ever worked. He was known for his "trademark" smile, and his beautiful white teeth. Anyone who ever met him never forgot him! He and Patty Owens re-connected at The Belmont in Grand Forks, when he was bartending, (one of the three jobs he had at the time). They were dance partners for the next fifty-eight years, and their love affair never waned. Pat & Mike's love of Dixieland jazz and dancing took them to festivals all over the United States and even to Scotland! He was preceded in death by his parents, Michael and Anna; Patty's mother, Marie Logan; whom he loved as his own; his sister, Mary Kennedy; and his granddaughter, Keleigh Kathleen Will. Among the people surviving him; family members MaryAnn and Mickey Bushaw, Jane and Dave Gunther, his dear brother-in-law John Logan, and the friends he loved like family, Erv and Connie Pfeifer. Adrian and Paul, the dignified care you gave Dad in his last years will never be forgotten. The Gorman family is deeply grateful to Fr. Jack Spaulding for his love and support.

There could never be a finer father-in-law, and he will live on in his sons-in-law's hearts: Jimmy Rice, James Mabante, Jim Rogers, and Jeffrey Will.

He completed two years of law school, before leaving, due to the fact he had to get a job and pay off medical bills for his family.

He became "the closer" in every company he ever worked. He was known for his "trademark" smile, and his beautiful white teeth. Anyone who ever met him never forgot him!- He and Patty Owens re-connected at The Belmont in Grand Forks, when he was bartending, (one of the three jobs he had at the time). They were dance partners for the next fifty-eight years, and their love affair never waned.

Conahay, Etta Etta Conahay At 1:55 a.m., on Friday, Sept. 12, 2003, we lost our amazing mother, Etta Conahay. Etta was born March 25, 1912, in Shawnee, Okla., to an incongruous set of parents, a shy and genteel mother and a headstrong Native American father. Etta's life was a rich tapestry of cross-cultural immersion and good old Yankee know-how. She had an enormous zest for life and fun, and was clearly the bravest woman we've ever known. Growing up the granddaughter o Quanah Parker, Chief of the Commanche Nation, to becoming "Rosie the Riveter" was an easy transition for mom. She glowed brightly in the spotlight and was pleased to learn that she had made the national news when she made her first sky-diving jump to celebrate her 88th birthday. Her skydiving, white-water rafting, competitive dancing, enduring beauty and many other outstanding accomplishments have made her a hard act to follow, but also have made us very proud. "Mother, your beloved children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, wish you Godspeed and joy on this, your greatest adventure". Etta is survived by seven children, Lois Martin of Phoenix, Doris Ledbetter of Mayer, Richard Daugherty of Buckeye, Ariz., Jean Locke of Clifton, Colo., Sharon Walker of Wilhoit, Ariz., Linda Doornbos of Elgin, and Ronda Largo of Superior. Two children predeceased her: Patsy George of Bartlesville, Okla., and Leonard Daugherty of Mesa, Ariz. She had 28 grandchildren and more great-grandchildren than the family can immediately account for. Funeral service was held on Monday, Sept. 15, at the Hampton Funeral Home in Prescott, Ariz.
