1918 ~ 2004
Hyrum Mack Smith, devoted husband and loving father, peacefully passed away on November 29, 2004 in Bellevue Washington at the age of 86. He was surrounded by his beloved wife Dorothy (Monson) of 66 years and all the family he loved so dearly; Hyrum III, Craig, Lane, Terry Anne, Scott, Alan, and Todd.
Hyrum, the youngest son of Hyrum Mack and Ida Smith, was born in Salt Lake City Sept. 18, 1918.
His full and accomplished life was underscored by his service and charity to others. Hyrum will forever be honored for his unconditional love for his family.
His exemplary service to, and love for the Church, began as a youth and continued as he accepted numerous callings, including serving a mission to the British Isles and serving as the Director of the LDS Visitors Center, in Nauvoo, Illinois. Hyrum loved working in the Temple, even into his latter years. Hyrum was an educator and teacher. He served for 25 years with the US Department of Education, and the four years he proudly served in the US Navy were only a part of the contributions he made to the country he loved.
His memory will always be cherished by his wife, seven children, 24 grandchildren and 20 great-grand-children, and by the many people whose lives he touched during his wonderful journey through life.
The family will receive friends at a Funeral Service to be held Saturday, December 4, 2004 at 12 noon at the Salt Lake Stake Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 142 W 200 North, Salt Lake City, Utah.
