Joseph Albert Zeller

Joseph Albert Zeller Our loving father, grandfather, and brother returned to his heavenly home on January 5, 2006, in Provo, Utah. He was born in Grand Junction, Colorado, on September 19, 1913, to John Joseph Zeller and Velma A. Vangundy. As a young boy, he lived in Atchee, Colorado, where he graduated Valedictorian in the 8th grade with a class of seven students. He returned to Grand Junction to attend high school, where he graduated with the Class of 1931. He met the love of his life, Gladys Lenore Barris, at a high school dance, where it was love at first sight. They married in 1933, and were married 49 years until Gladys passed away in 1982. He loved going fishing, hunting in his younger days, gardening, playing the slots, attending the Orem Senior Citizen Center, and yodeling for his kids and grandchildren. Above all, he cherished his family. He was preceded in death by his wife, Gladys; his sister, Kathrine May (2005), brother, John Fredrick (2005), and his mother and father. He is survived by his three children: sons, Richard Kay, Roger Joseph; and daughter, Jodean Annette McCall; six grandchildren: Robert Zeller, Michael Farnworth, Dana Clements, Kimberly Steele, Amy Sheeley, Jamie Frandsen; and 13 great-grandchildren with one on the way. He deeply affected the lives of many people, and will be truly missed. We love you.
