Oral Marie Henderson Gates passed away on February 8, 2015.
She was born April 18, 1920 in Park City to Hugh and Callie Henderson.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Fred Carl Gates; her parents; son-in-law, George Burge; two grandchildren; and seven siblings.
Her favorite pastime in later life was golf, until she was ninety-two years old. She also loved fishing, camping, bowling, a good card game with her friends, and trips to Wendover.

"She was a sweet soul and will be greatly missed."
The family would like to thank the caregivers at Aspen Care, Silverado Hospice, and Beehive Home of West Jordan for the care and love they showed our mother.
