Arlo Eastman

Arlo Hanney Eastman

Our dad was born July 5th 1931 to William Vincent Eastman

and Melva Hanney Eastman, the oldest of seven kids. He attended

grade school in Woodruff then went to South Rich High School in

Randolph where he graduated in 1949. He would tell about being

in grade school, him and the neighbor kids would ride horses 4

miles to school, his horse ole Shanty disliked going to school as

much as dad did. Grandpa would get on the horse and tune him up

then dad couldn’t get him to slow down all the way to Woodruff.

In 1950 he received his mission call to the Great Lake

Mission. After his farewell dad received a letter saying your

friends and neighbors selected you for the army. He went from a

black suit to Army greens.

Dad ran into our mom, Norma Kennedy, at mutual one night.

She asked him if she could go fishing on the Woodruff creek. He

always said the fishing must have been good she stayed 58 years.

They were married June 6th 1957 in the Salt Lake Temple. They

welcomed two daughters Tammie K and Peggie Sue to their

family.

He worked many different jobs through the years, with help

from mom and us girls his favorite was taking care of his ranch,

cattle, horses and the fish pond.

Dad and mom with lots of patience hired many kids through out the

years to help also.

Dad had many church callings in his younger days and was a

faithful home teacher up to his later years. He lived up Woodruff

Creek until he was 88 years old. In 2019 he became a resident at

The Family Tree in Morgan. Every morning he still would get up

put on his coat, gloves, and hat and go to work, he always said he

like the job there but the pay wasn’t very good. He kept his fun

cheerful personality wanting to joke and tease with everyone.

When his health started failing many tears were shed by the staff

and everyone had a fun Arlo story to tell us.

Dad passed away August 3rd 2022 in Morgan Utah, he is

survived by his daughters Tammie {Clint} Cornia, Peggie

{Martin} Feller both of Randolph Utah, 3 grandchildren, 7 great

grandchildren, his siblings Ralph Eastman, Flora Goodwin, Willie

Eastman, Connie Nyman and Melva Kennedy. He is preceded in

death by our dear mom Norma Eastman, grandson Allen Kinkade

Services will be held Friday August 5th viewing 6:00 - 8:00,

Saturday August 6th viewing 10:00 - 10:45 and funeral 11:00 at the

Woodruff LDS chapel.

Our family would like to extend our heartfelt love and

gratitude to the caring staff at The Family Tree for the loving care

they gave to dad and for treating us like family. We also appreciate

the compassionate care that was given to him by the staff of A

Plus Hospice.
