Ferrell Bruce Hoopes of Wellsville, Utah, formerly of Freedom, passed away suddenly
of a heart attack, March 1, 2006. He was born April 22, 1937 in Montpelier, the
second of three sons born to Leroy Child Hoopes and Mary Marie Miller Hoopes.
Bruce married his high school sweetheart, Judith Morrison on May 4, 1956 in Fortuna
Calif. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on June of 1961.

electrical towers which you can still see today as you drive through many western
states. He was happiest near the ocean and was an avid fisherman who also enjoyed
skin diving for many years. He had a love for travel and discovering new places.
He was lucky enough to visit 35 states and over 25 countries during his life. He
especially loved Mexico where he spent the first three years of his retirement.

was a High Priest at the time of his death. He served in three different bishoprics
during his lifetime.
Bruce is survived by his loving wife of fifty years and best friend Judith M. Hoopes
of Wellsville, Utah; three children Pamela (LaVon "Jake") Jenkins of Sandy, Utah;
Paula (Tim) Lancaster of Smoot and Perry (Marcie) Hoopes of Monravia, Calif.; one
