Dorothy Nancy Hill Pope
May 3, 1931 — November 28, 2011
LOGAN, UTAH: Loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend Dorothy Nancy Hill Pope passed away November 28th, 2011 surrounded by all of her nine children. Dorothy was born May 3rd, 1931 in Leadore, ID, one of four children of William Beckstrom and Dora Caroline Petersen Hill. She attended Ricks College after graduating from Leadore High School. She married Wendell L. Pope in September 1950, and they subsequently divorced after 28 years. She raised her family in Germany, California, Wisconsin, and Utah. She welcomed her first grandchild in 1976 with 35 more to follow. She retired in 1998 after spending nearly 20 years managing the Circulation Department at USU’s Merrill Library. Afterwards, she attained her life-long dream of serving an LDS mission in New Zealand.
Being a mother was Dorothy’s greatest joy. A certain delight and pride would light her eyes when she spoke of her children and grandchildren. Dorothy had an infectious, effortless laugh that could instantly fill a room, warm a heart, and brighten a day. She expected and engendered goodness and kindness in every person she met. She will always be remembered for her kindness, generosity, sincerity, faith, and strength.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents, an older brother, Sheldon, who died in infancy, and her twin brother, Donald Hill. She is survived by her sister, Lillian McIntire, and her nine children Keith (Susan) Pope, Kathryn (Stan) Stewart, Mary Ann (Brad) O’Connor, Marcus Pope, Linda (Carl) DuHadway, Anna (Dennis) Pope, Malcolm (Heidi) Pope, Kevin (Rodrigo) Pope, Tamara (Shane) Roghaar. In addition, Dorothy was mother to Esther Manwill who joined the family in her teenage years. Dorothy has 36 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren.
A viewing will be held at Allen-Hall Mortuary (34 East Center Street, Logan, UT) on Friday, December 2nd, 6-8 p.m. A viewing will also be held at the Leadore LDS Church (118 North 3rd Street, Leadore, ID) on December 3rd, 12 p.m. followed by services at 1 p.m. Interment will be in the Leadore, Idaho Cemetery.
