ObituaryOct 13, 2013William J. Houghton, 82, of Whitefield, passed away early on Friday, Oct. 11, 2013, at the Laconia Rehabilitation Center.

He was born in his family home in Twin Mountain in 1931. His parents, Arthur and Cecilia (Guyon) Houghton, were the owners of Hilltop vacation cabins. Billy, as he was known to his family and friends, loved life with his two older brothers, Arthur and Patrick in the White Mountains. He graduated from Twin Mountain High school in 1947 and soon after graduation he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving his country during the Korean War as an infantryman and earning an honorable discharge as sergeant.

In 1956 he met the love of his life, Claire Wernig. Bill and Claire were married on July 6, 1957. They raised their three children in Whitefield and for five years owned and operated the Hilltop cabin business in Twin Mountain. Bill shared his love of the mountains with his children by teaching them how to hunt, fish, hike and ski. Many happy family hours were spent waiting for the fish to bite.

In 2007 Bill and Claire celebrated 50 years of marriage with a grand party given by his children. He was very surprised and happy to see more than 100 family and friends in attendance. Bill loved his pets too, espcially his devoted black Labrador, Max.

Bill worked as a plumber/pipe fitter for most of his career and was a retired member of Local 131 Plumbers and Pipe Fitters Union. In his retirement years he enjoyed spending time with his wife and family, especially his four grandchildren. He would spoil them with candy and ice cream at any opportunity.

Bill was an active member of the Whitefield VFW Post 10675 and a communicant at the Gate of Heaven Parish.

Bill was preceeded in death by his parents, a brother Patrick, and a brother and sister-in-law, Arthur and Agnes. He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years Claire, two sons, Michael and Matthew Houghton of Whitefield, a daughter Susan Kopf and her husband Andy, of Hampden, Maine, and four grandchildren, Jacob and Mikaela Houghton and Alex and Nick Kopf.

Deceased Name: Death: Mary Lucille Houghton
Mary Houghton, 79, passed away quietly on November 24, 1998, after a long illness.

Mary was born March 30, 1919, in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was the daughter of Elma Pinnock and George H. Houghton. Mary's childhood was not easy. She suffered from many allergy-related health problems, including severe hearing loss. Mary attended public schools in Salt Lake City, including East High where she was a member of the Leaders Club, graduating in 1936. She enrolled at the University of Utah, where she became one of the early members of the fledgling Lambda Delta Sigma. Mary graduated from the U in 1940, with a BS degree in medical technology.

It was toward the end of World War II when Mary met and married James Watkins, a serviceman stationed in Salt Lake City, and moved with him to North Carolina. When the marriage ended, Mary remained in North Carolina for a time, working as a medical technologist for hospitals in the Winston-Salem and Raleigh-Durham areas. When her mother's health declined, Mary returned to Salt Lake City to be nearby. Following Elma's death Mary moved to Southern California, entered UCLA and earned a degree in occupational therapy. She was a therapist for several years in California and in Utah, before changing careers once again and worked as a technical draftsperson until her retirement.

Mary was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and accepted many responsible callings in that organization. She often said that her most satisfying calling was that of stake special interest leader, a position that she held for some time. She was a very talented artist, spending many hours in the creation of lovely items in knitting, embroidery, and weaving, working on a full-size loom. Many aunts, cousins and friends were recipients of her beautiful work. She loved history and genealogy and spent hours finding and collecting records that resulted in the submission of numerous names for temple work. In addition to being a member of several professional associations, her love for history and genealogy lead to her active and enthusiastic participation in the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Mary is survived by many loyal friends and cousins.

Funeral services will be held at the Larkin Mortuary, 260 E. South Temple, on Tuesday, Dec. 1st, at 11 a.m. Friends and family may call at the mortuary an hour before the services. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the LDS Family History Department. Interment Salt Lake City Cemetery.
