Lieutenant Colonel Clifford Dale Jolley, Ret., passed away at home on July 13, 1995.
He was born May 4, 1921, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Walter Clairmont and Elsie Agnes Jolley. He married Mildred Pack on May 14, 1943. They were sealed together for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Flying was one of his great joys.He flew in two wars to defend the freedoms of our nation, becoming Utah's only jet ace (Korean War). He was decorated with the Silver Star and several Distinguished Flying Crosses. His bravery and enthusiasm for flying continued to serve him as a test pilot until complications from his war injuries forced him to stop flying. Cliff was a uniquely creative and very talented architect.
He loved to golf. He loves the Lord Jesus Christ and always put the needs of others before his own. His kindness and sense of humor lightened the hearts of others until his very last moment on earth. He touched the lives of all he met. His circle of friends is great. He cherishes his wife and family. He will be missed very, very much.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Mildred; his children, Dale (and Shirlene) Jolley, Darrell Jolley, Renee (and Stan) Coon, Craig (and Dawnette) Jolley; 11 grandchildren; and his sister, Jeanette DePinto.
