Wife of Ernest Marvin Casper
Ella Wright Casper passed away September 14, 2004, at the Golden Living Center, in Orem, Utah. She was 95 years old.
She was born September 7, 1909, to Joseph Smith Wright and Jane Richie Wright, in Charleston, Utah.
She attended school in Heber City, Utah. Ella married Ernest Marvin Casper in the Salt Lake Temple, September 20, 1927. They were married for 60 years prior to her husbands death.
She has been active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all her life and has had church callings in the Primary and Relief Society.
Ella attended classes at Brigham Young University to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. During her early married life, she worked in sales at J.C. Penneys, Mode-O-Day, and Firmages, but when the children came, she elected to be a full-time mother, to be at home to nurture and care for her family. However, when her husband was inducted into the Army, she found it necessary to seek employment outside the home. Because of her interest in the personal welfare of people less fortunate than she, and being a very warm, caring, compassionate person, she found her rewarding interest materialize in the nursing profession. She derived a great deal of satisfaction from administering to the needs of those who could not care for themselves.
She was employed at the Utah State Hospital, as a nurse, for 33 years, prior to her retirement in 1974. She was always concerned about others welfare Ð always compassionate and lovingly involved in caring for others. During that time, she initiated many new self help programs which the administration incorporated into their therapy treatment. She was greatly loved by everyone at the hospital.
She had an artistic flair and was always making a special craft or ornament for someone. She was an excellent seamstress, and loved to quilt and crochet. She also had a talent for writing poetry.
Ella was preceded in death by her daughter, Beth Carter; her beloved husband, Ernest Marvin Casper; and three brothers and three sisters: Alta Elliot, Edna Armstrong, David Wright, Warren Wright, Violet Whiting, and Verl Wright. She is survived by her son, Marvin Dee Casper; and her son-in-law, Boyd Max Carter; 7 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren.
