Pearl Stucki Gee 1909 ~ 2007 Pearl Stucki Gee died April 20, 2007 at the age of 97 years in Bountiful, Davis, Utah of natural causes. Pearl was born October 13, 1909 in Paris, Bear Lake County, Idaho to Mary Ann Price and Joseph Smith Stucki. She attended and graduated from Fielding High School in Paris. She met her husband, Ivin Lafayette Gee, while attending Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho. After their marriage in the Salt Lake Temple on May 25, 1932, they lived in Laramie, Wyoming and Provo, Utah, where Ivin attended the Universities there. They then moved to Rexburg, ID where she lived while her husband taught at Madison High School. Her husband joined the United States Weather Bureau in 1939 and their family moved to Missoula, Montana; Pocatello, Idaho; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Denver, Colorado and Lander, Wyoming in the space of the next 10 years. Pearl was active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all of her life. She began teaching Primary at age 14 and worked in the Primary organization for over 30 years. She also worked in the other auxiliaries of the church including Relief Society and the Young Women's MIA program on the Branch, Ward, District and Stake levels. She was also a Branch missionary. She taught school as a substitute teacher while living in Denver and then full time after she moved to Lander. She received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Education and did numerous extension classes. She taught in Lander School District #1 for 23 years and had many fond memories of the children she taught in the lower grades at South Elementary School. She was a beloved teacher and her students remember her with great fondness. She was President of the Lander Classroom Teachers for two years in the 1950's and was a life long member of the NEA and the WEA. She was also a member of Delta Kappa Gamma. After her retirement from teaching in 1974, Pearl and Ivin fulfilled two missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They served in the Washington D.C. Temple from 1977-1979 and at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie, Hawaii from 1984-1986. Between those missions, they purchased her childhood home in Paris, Idaho. Beginning in 1979 they spent six summers remodeling the home while working as guides in the Paris Stake Tabernacle. Pearl enjoyed sewing, quilting and crocheting as well as painting with water colors and oils. She is survived by her sons, Laurence (Alice) of North Salt Lake; Martell (LaRue) of Bountiful; and Glendon (Shirley) of Richland, Washington; her daughter, Rosemary (Steve) Wall of Farmington; 24 grandchildren and 79 great-grand-children. She is preceded in death by her husband Ivin; her parents; and all of her eight siblings. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Friday, April 27, 2007 at the Bountiful 28th Ward, 2285 South 200 West. Friends may call Thursday, April 26, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the Lindquist's Bountiful Mortuary, 727 North 400 East and Friday, from 9:00-9:45 a.m. at the church prior to the services.
