Thank you for visiting this memorial page honoring those who either graduated or would have graduated from Granger High School in 1965. We are honoring as many former classmates as we can find who have passed on. They were our friends, associates, teammates and, in some cases, our lifelong partners and companions. We also honor our veterans and those gallant young men who gave their all, in defense of the country they loved so much. To our MIA, James Schiele, we will never forget you and will continue to look forward to the day your remains are returned to the land of the free, the home of the brave.

Thanks to everyone who helped in the development of this memorial page, especially Diane Day Cooper, who would have graduated a Lancer were it not for her parents relocating their family in 1960. Without her, this would not have been possible. Thom Rich

Linda Waters


"We'll Miss You Mom" Lynda J. Nichols Reber of Salt Lake City passed away February 2, 2009.

Beloved daughter of Melvin H. Waters and Joyce A. Bell Waters (Heidrich), Lynda was known as "Lynn" to most friends. She was born July 1, 1947 in Salt Lake City. She married Paul M. Nichols April 28, 1964, and had three children, Leisa G. Nichols Shouse, Chris C. Nichols Nelson (Eric) and Michael S. Nichols; later divorced.

Lynda grew up in Salt Lake City, but moved to Arlington, Texas in 1979 and started a painting and sandblasting company. She was an avid driven business owner and loved the rewards of hard work. She returned to Salt Lake City in 1990 and continued to run her business. She loved the LDS Church, teaching Sunday school, spoiling her children and grandchildren, and her work. 

Preceded in death by her parents and older brother, Steven Waters. Survived by her children; four grandchildren, Zakary and Cody Shouse (Springtown, TX); and Lyndsey C. Nichols and Coltyn D. Nelson (Salt Lake City); two sisters, Pamela Ogaard and Karla Smith; four brothers, Gene Waters, Gary Waters, Scott Waters and Russ Waters, all of Salt Lake City; and two dogs, Peanut and Cookie.
She was a savvy businesswoman who excelled at leadership and was always willing to help those in need, often at great sacrifice to herself. She loved spring, summer picnics, the Wasatch Mountains and the sprawling valley.
