She peacefully passed away Sept. 22, 2003, in Orem. Preceded in death by her three brothers, William Edward Pardoe, Thomas Earl Pardoe and David Pardoe. She is survived by her sister, Catherine Pardoe Reese. Norma moved with her family to Glendale, California, where she was active in dancing and drama productions while her father opened his own theater studio and established the Department of Speech Psychology at USC. BYU lured the family back to Provo and Norma became a student, graduating from B.Y. High in 1933, and then majoring in Physical Education and Speech at BYU. She taught tap and clogging dance classes and became one of the first women cheerleaders at BYU. She married Lynn A. Wright in 1932, and with her husband worked hard to establish Regal Bowling Lanes. She was an excellent bowler, entering several national tournaments. They had three children, Lynn Wright Anacker (Ken, deceased), Birghton, Colorado; David N. (Sue) Wright, Orem, and Christine Wright (Gary R.) Hunter, Salt Lake. After 33 years of marriage, they divorced and Norma went to work for the BYU Alumni office. She met a recent widower, H. Duane Anderson, a former BYU classmate and language professor at San Bernardino Valley College, and they were married March 1969 in the Salt Lake Temple. They joined together two families with Duane's two sons, Richard (Valerie), Layton and Brent (Janice, deceased, and Mimi), Vienna, Virginia. Together they have 28 grandchildren and many delightful great grandchildren. Norma and Duane served a mission for the LDS Church of Jesus Christ to Sri Lanka microfilming their census records. They joined the Rotary Club and Norma produced plays and children's choirs with the Women Rotarians. Church Service: She held many speech and drama leadership positions; and served as ward and stake Relief Society President, but her most cherished position was at the side of her Stake Patriarch husband as his scribe as he dictated patriarchal blessings from the Lord to Saints in San Bernardino and across Asia. She has been a magnificent teacher of the gospel and wonderful missionary with a deep and abiding faith in her Heavenly Father's Plan. After Duane's death, Norma moved to the Seville Retirement Center in Orem where she was the hostess for entertainers coming in, a Gospel Doctrine and Book of Mormon teacher, and also involved in many activities. She will be dearly missed for her warm hugs and outgoing graciousness. Her interests have included ceramics, oil painting, sewing, drama, playing the piano and organ, poetry and literature. She was also an intense BYU sports fan, and has a scholarship established in her name with the BYU Folk Dancers.

[Deseret News, Friday, May 5, 1995.] ~ ~ ~ ~ OBITUARY OF HER EX-HUSBAND: Lynne Andersen Wright died on January 12, 2006, in his beloved home overlooking Utah Valley, at the tender age of 93. Lynne was born July 19, 1912 in Provo, Utah, and spent his early years in Provo and Levan, graduating from Brigham Young University in 1935 with a BA Degree in business. He remained an avid "Golden Cougar" sports fan all his life. Lynne married Norma Pardoe in 1935, and went to work for Utah Power and Light, where he stayed until WWII broke out. He then went to work at Geneva Steel. After the war Lynne decided he wanted to be an independent businessman, and in 1949 built Regal Lanes. Local people thought Lynne was "out of his mind" for building so far out of town-- Provo residences ended about 10th North at the time. Regal Lanes quickly became a mecca for recreation and good food. Disaster struck in November of 1952 when Regal Lanes burned to the ground. Since insurance did not cover the total damage, it was only through the great sacrifices of many local residents, who helped clean out the debris, and Irwin Tolboe construction, and Fred Nichols at First Security Bank, who believed in Lynne's dream, that Regal Lanes was rebuilt. Norma worked with Lynne at the lanes for many years prior to their divorce. From his marriage with Norma, Lynne has two daughters, Lynne Wright Ford (Mont), Rocklin, California; Chris Wright Hunter, (Gary R.), Salt Lake City; and one son, David N. Wright (Sue), Orem. Norma preceded him in death. Lynne developed two other businesses in answer to industry needs, Wright Sanding Company, which resurfaced bowling and billiards needs in five western states. Lynne quickly gained the trust and loyalty of bowling proprietors in these states because of his knowledge and willingness to freely share that knowledge. He was very active in the Utah State Bowling Proprietors Assn., and in 1979 was a charter member of the National Assoc. of Independent Resurfacers, serving as it's Secretary for 18 years. He was appointed "Man Of The Year" by N.A.I.R. in 1990, "Distributor Of The Year: in 1989 by Century Corporation, and was inducted into the Utah Bowling Hall of Fame in 1999. Lynne left a legacy of hard work, selfless service to his clients and friends, and impeccable integrity in his business dealings. He has a very substantial cadre of family, friends, and associates who revere him as their friend, confidant, benefactor, and mentor. Lynne married Verda Park Waycasey in 1967 and she worked side by side with Lynne at Regal Lanes until they "retired" a few years ago. Lynne hired John Barrett in 1955, and they became inseparable friends and co-workers until John passed away in 2003. Surviving Lynne is his wife of 38 years, Verda. From this marriage with Verda, Lynne "adopted" two daughters, Sherry Black (Earl), Salt Lake City; Debbie Waycasey (Tom), Provo; and one son, Jimmy Waycasey, Provo. From both marriages Lynne has a grand total of 20 grandchildren and 56 great-grandchildren.

Our precious and beloved Mother was born in Vernal, Utah on January 7, 1914 to Wilbur and Bertha Sowards. She died Tuesday, December 5, 2006. She was 92 years young. Beulah was the sixth child in a wonderful family of nine children. When her parents sold the 'Acorn' mercantile in Vernal, they moved to Provo, Utah, where she attended B.Y. High, graduating in 1933, and later Brigham Young University. In 1930, Beulah or 'Bea' as she was known, went to Washington D.C. and at sixteen years of age became a member of the famed Denishawn Dance Troup of Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis - the forefathers of the Modern Dance Movement where a young Martha Graham was a fellow student. It was a radical thing to do at the time, for a young woman from Provo, Utah. She was about to tour South America when she decided to return home to continue her school. In 1934, Beulah was called on a mission to the Hawaiian Islands for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Along with her sister, Myrtle, Bea headed up the Primary. The Islands were magical then, with few hotels. Mother often spoke of her many wonderful friends like Eva Parker and many, many others that fill the pages of her glorious scrapbooks. After returning home and speaking at a ward meeting, she came face to face with the love of her life, John R. Bucher, who was also attending BYU. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on December 16, 1937. Having been together for 69 years, their love for each other was always present and felt by us all. Bea and John first moved to Sacramento, California when they were first married, then they moved to Salt Lake City, where they had their four children. Mother was active in the various wards they lived in, working as a teacher in both the Sunday School and the Primary. She loved the children she taught. She loved her visiting teachers and looked forward to their visits. Always putting others before herself, she encouraged and supported her family, promoting her children's talents and desires and was always proud of each and every one of their accomplishments. Mother always loved her garden and especially birds. There was always a canary at home that sang so beautifully. Her plants grew throughout our home like a forest. She was artistic and loved beauty and interior design. She encouraged many of our friends in the arts. Bea loved her home and adored her neighborhood. So many beloved neighbors became some of her closest friends. Always the chocolate lover, Mom's passion for chocolate was renown in our family. As a child, her father was always warned by her teachers that she would have to stop eating so much candy in school. Mother is survived by her husband, John R. Bucher, all her children, Gerrie Ann Bucher, John Richard Bucher II, Jyll and Jonathan Sweet and Jan Bucher, five grandchildren, Richard and MaeLei Bucher, Mark Bucher, Elizabeth Bucher, Sam Sweet and Noah Carmichael, and two great-grandchildren Sorelle and Jacob with one more on the way. Her sister, Jewel Sowards Bybee, and brother Clifford Sowards, also survive her, as does her daughter-in-law, Jean Bucher. A memorial service was held on Saturday, December 9, 2006 in Salt Lake City.
