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

Bernice Young

(Laurine) Bernice Young of West Valley City, UT, suddenly passed away March 15, 2022 of natural causes.  She was born in Missouri on September 26, 1947 to Donald Edwin and Hazel Anson Young. She was named for her maternal grandmother, Bernice Lowery Anson. 

After graduation from Granger High School in 1965, Bernice was employed by the Girl Scouts of Utah as a secretary. Following her time there, she became a secretary for the Salvation Army. 

Susan Jackson Northington, her lifetime friend, remembered that Bernice liked cross stitch, reading and playing board games and cards. She also took great pride in working with the illiterate and teaching them the joy of reading.  Another huge part of her life was dedicated to mentoring Girl Scouts and she was the leader of several troops over the years.  

Bernice never married, nor had children. She was preceded in death by her parents and siblings: Daniel and Carol. There were no services. Dignity Memorial in Riverton handled her direct burial at Valley View Memorial Park.
