George H. Eizman, age 74, died on January 2, 2008 at Grover C. Dils Medical Center. George was born on January 13, 1933 at Carp, NV to George Eizman and Rhoana Henrie Eizman.

George's father worked for Union Pacific Railroad and the family moved often during the time George was growing up. He attended high school in Moapa where he played football and rode saddle broncos. In January, 1953 George joined the Army and spent the next 18 months serving our country in Korea during the Korean Conflict. When he returned home, George resumed his employment with the Union Pacific Railroad and soon after met the love of his life.

George & Carma (Stewart) were married on October 20, 1956. They made their first home at Rocks, NV, and it was there that they welcomed their first son, George Harold Jr., in August 1957. A second son, Alan martin, followed in 1959 with Edward Warren close behind in 1960. George & Carma had their hands full with three rambunctious little boys and several more moves. In 1964 the family welcomed Natalie and in 1970 Joy Linn completed the Eizman family. George was a wonderful father and spent countless hours "playing" with his kids. They built motorized model planes and rockets and flew them in the parks. Setting off fireworks was always fun and family fishing trips were a common occurrence.

Perhaps the greatest endeavor undertaken by George and his "helpers" was the building of their home on Lincoln Street in Caliente. The family made this residence their home for the next 38 years. In 1978 George took a medical retirement from Union Pacific Railroad due to serious heart problems. Shortly after this George and Alan purchased the Arco gas station on Caliente's main thoroughfare. George loved people and thoroughly enjoyed the interaction with friends and strangers alike. It was during this time he became known as "Just Right" George. Whether it was driving the "Eizman's" car in the demolition derby, waving from a float in the 4th of July Parade, or just waiting on people at the station George's smile, his deep chuckle, his sense of fun, his teasing, and his "Just Right" were well known and beloved in the Caliente community.

In 1999 George's health had deteriorated to a point that he could no longer run the station. The business was sold and George retired again. Then in 2003 George and Carma left Caliente to spend their remaining years with their children. For the past five years Alamo has been their home base and they've spent extended periods of time staying with each of their kids. This living arrangement afforded George quality time with each of his 12 grandchildren and has been an opportunity to create precious memories. George is survived by his wife Carma, his children: George (Michele), Alan (Becky), Warren (Tammy), Natalie (Bill), Joy (Pete), 12 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, and his sister Ethelyn Hoffberg. He is preceded in death by his sister Anna Dulaney.

It is with great sadness and respect that the passing of a wonderful woman is conveyed by her family. Virginia Snyder “Peachy” Likins was a beloved wife, loving mother of five children; very special “Gam” of seven and great grandmother of two. She left us peacefully on a snowy morning with memories of family in her heart and several family members at her side. She was 86.

Virginia Louise Snyder Likins was born on April 20, 1921 in Salt Lake City to Utah mining executive Edward Harrison Snyder and Marie Cushing Snyder. She attended East High School in Salt Lake City and the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado where she affiliated with the Chi Omega Sorority. She was active in intercollegiate sports including track, field hockey and her life long passion of tennis.

Peachy married Corwin Hale Likins on March 14, 1943. They were happily married for 64 years. Their wedding took place after Pearl Harbor, and she followed Corwin on a government troop train to Texas for their honeymoon in Texas. This was to be the pattern of her married life with a mining executive. They moved with their family multiple times to Pioche, Nevada; Bauer, Utah; Casper, Wyoming; Faro, Yukon Territory, Canada; Hope, British Columbia, Canada; and Salt Lake City, Utah. In all of these places, she and Corwin made a loving warm home for their five children.

She was a dedicated civic leader and President or Chair of multiple community organizations. In Pioche she became a member of the Order of Eastern Star and was recently awarded with her 50 year pin. She continued her Eastern Star activities her entire life and was Worthy Matron of her chapter. She was also active in Daughters of the Nile and was Queen of Mizpah Chapter in Salt Lake City. In addition she was active in the International Order of Jobs’ Daughters and served as the Grand Guardian for the State of Utah. She actively worked for the Girl Scouts and also received her 50 year pin for Business and Professional Women’s club. In Salt Lake City she became involved with the Utah Arthritis Foundation and was the Secretary of the Board for many years as well as a life long member of the sisters of P.E.O. Peachy was married to a mining executive and as such she was a long standing member of the Women’s Auxiliary to the American Institute of Mining Engineers (W.A.I.M.E.). She was a member of the First Congregational Church on Foothill Boulevard, Salt Lake City.

Once most of her children were in school, Peachy re-entered the workforce as a secretary to the chief nursing officer of University of Utah Medical Center and as a travel agent. Her travel agent work allowed her to visit many exciting places in the world. She was noted for her red hair, her energy and her love for her family and friends. She was always willing to take on one more civic position, one more home project or add additional people to her family and friends.

Peachy is survived by her husband, Corwin H. Likins and her five children: Marie (Bruce) Kotter of Ogden, Utah; Susan (William) Trevithick of Salt Lake City, Utah; Marilyn (John Erlacher) Likins of Salt Lake City, Utah; John (Laura) Likins of Lander, Wyoming; David Likins (Chris Bridges) of Dallas, Texas; and two special daughters Debbie Kotter Barkley and Rae Linn Dooling. Also surviving are her sister-in-law Margaret Snyder of Salt Lake City, brother-in-law Leroy Dickerson of Idaho Falls, Idaho and brother-in-law Samuel (Tiny) Likins of Phoenix, Arizona. In addition, she is survived by seven grandchildren: Jeff and Steve Kotter; Michael Erlacher; Heather and Holly Likins; and Bryn and Tanner Likins and two great grandchildren: Jack and Emma Kotter.

The family would like to thank Adele and Larry Jensen and their daughter Doraina Eastman for their warm and loving care of Peachy and Corwin over the past three years. They were definitely a part of her family in both presence and spirit. In addition, our warmest thanks go to the incredible professional and caring people of the Hospice for Utah in particular Kami Slaughter, Raolya Andersen, Danylle Osness, and Jean Geersten who helped make it possible for Mom to be able to stay in her home with her family during her final years.
