Nadine LaMarr Trumbo Kartchner Obituary (1931 - 2021)

Nadine LaMarr (Marr) Trumbo Kartchner passed away peacefully in her home on January 14, 2021. She was born to Cecil Gerald Trumbo and Blanche Amelia Burningham on October 2, 1931 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She married her sweetheart, Earl Mark Kartchner, in the Salt Lake Temple on October 12, 1951 while he served in the Air Force. They started their married life in Fairbanks, Alaska and lived in several different places before settling down in the Salt Lake area. They were happily married for 65 years and raised a beautiful family of four sons and four daughters. Mom was dedicated to her family and was always there for her children. She taught them how to work and always encouraged them to be and do their best. She was an expert seamstress and also loved to do beautiful handwork. Her children and grandchildren still treasure the beautiful dresses that she made them each year for Christmas. She loved to work in her garden and yard, and wherever she went, beautiful landscapes always followed. Mom was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She had a deep and abiding testimony, and unshakeable love for her Savior, Jesus Christ. She dedicated nearly 40 years to working with the Church’s genealogy and family history centers in extracting millions of German names from microfilm for use in the Family History database up to the time of her death. She served faithfully and quietly in many Church positions, and was able to help and encourage many others through her service, example and thoughtfulness. Marr is preceded in death by her husband, Earl, her oldest son, Mark Kartchner, her baby daughter, Kim and her brother, Dale Trumbo.
