Lichfield, Joseph T.

FILLMORE-- "In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:40)

A special thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff of UVRMC and Utah State Hospital for their care and help in caring for Joseph T. Lichfield, 66 who passed away peacefully early the morning of July 11, 2000 at UVRMC in Provo with family at his side.

Joseph was born June 2, 1934 in Afton, WY the last of seven children born to Robert C. and Vinna Haws Lichfield. He attended schools in Provo, Roy, Ogden and Logan and graduated with degrees in science and math from the University of Utah in 1960. He answered a call to serve the Lord as a missionary in South Africa, and later worked for many years as a Stake Missionary in Richfield, Utah.

He married Ruth Deon Peterson on June 20, 1958 in the Manti Utah Temple. He was an active, faithful Seventy from 1969 until the Seventies Organizations changed in 1986, but not released as a Seventy until this week. He wished to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with anyone he met and always went out of his way to help someone he perceived to be in need. He was known for inviting home for dinner or offering a ride to anyone who seemed less fortunate than himself and often let us know that he wished to follow the Lord's admonition in Matthew. He worked for the US Forest Service in the Uinta Mountains soon after he was married, and taught math and science in Tooele. He later spent many years as a dedicated employee of Salt River Project in St. Johns, AZ. Both of his sons followed his example in serving full time missions. In recent years he faced many challenges as his physical body failed him. In the many ups and downs he encountered, many loving care-givers served him and administered to his needs.
