Obituary:
F. Heber Kimball, M.D.

Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend Farnham Heber Kimball, M.D. passed away Monday, January 22, 2001 at the age of 84. The youngest of six children, Heber was born May 14, 1916 in Raymond, Alberta, Canada to Solomon Farnham and Margaret Dunn Kimball.

He attended the University of Utah and received his medical degree from the University of Tennessee. After a residency at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, he practiced Obstetrics and Gynecology in Salt Lake and then Torrance, California until 1976. While in Torrance, he served as an Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UCLA Medical School and was also Chief of Staff at Little Company of Mary Hospital. Heber returned to Salt Lake in 1976 to practice as director of OBGYN at FHP. He remained with FHP until his retirement in 1987. During his time at FHP he was also an Assistant Professor of Family Medicine for the University of Utah Medical School.

A dedicated member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Heber served in many capacities. He served in the East Central States Mission from 1935-1937. He also served in leadership positions ranging from Sunday School president to high councilman.

Riding horses was one of Heber's favorite pastimes. He learned to ride as a boy in Canada, and eventually became a member of the University of Utah Polo Team. He kept horses for most of his adult life, and rode in the Days of '47 Parade in Salt Lake. He spent many happy hours grooming and caring for his horses and enjoyed riding the bridle trails around his home on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in California. He also spent much time riding in the hills above Farmington and Centerville, Utah during his later years.

He joined the ROTC at the University of Utah and, following medical school, served as a Captain in the Army. Immediately after World War II, Heber was a medical officer in military hospitals in San Francisco, California; San

Antonio, Texas; and Colorado Springs, Colorado until his honorable discharge in 1947.

Heber married the love of his life, Toni Lodder, in Salt Lake City and they were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Los Angeles, California LDS Temple. She lovingly and carefully cared for him for many years before his death.

A man of great compassion, Heber was also known for his fairness, quick wit, soft heart, and quiet strength. He was a loving father and husband, and will be sorely missed.

He is survived by his wife, Toni; his son, Chase (Stephanie) of Fayetteville, Georgia; daughter, Marisa (Steve) of Sandy, Utah; and his four grandchildren, Natasha, Brandon, Ashley, and Tyler. His four sisters, Zula Coleman, Jeanne Whitney, Edythe Watson, Lafarne Garff, and his brother, James LeRoy Kimball, preceded him in death.

The family would like to thank the staff at Life Care Center of Bountiful for the kindness and care given to Heber during his short stay.

At Heber's request, a private family service will be held on Thursday, January 25, 2001 at Russon Brothers Bountiful Mortuary, 295 North Main. Interment, Lakeview Cemetery, Bountiful, Utah.
