I have been lost in my IPad for the last two hours, as I read about many of my very dear friends from HHS class of 66 who have come and gone and yet are still with us, as am I . I live in Emmett, Idaho, about 30 ,
Minutes north east of Boise. After my divorce in 1974 from Dan Pentelute, which by the way passed away about 6 or 7 years ago, I took back my maiden name of Sweeten. I adopted my son when 3 days old and we went on. I lived in Holladay, Utah for 27 years. My son Jake graduated from law school and eventually moved to Boise then Emmett. I followed him and my daughter in law and two beautiful grandsons, Liam and Jaxon the Spring of 2014. Jake works in Emmett doing wills and trust. Has now been appointed by the mayor of Emmett as the City Clerk. I am very proud of him! I am an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, always have been, always will. I have many beautiful and happy memories of my four years at Highland High School. Didn’t we have some great times? I spent two years at the University of Utah in the Speech Arts Guild. In the year 2000 I served a mission in Independence Missouri. What a great experience.

I was sad to read where one of our loyal Rams lost his wife on September 2, 2025. Garth Barlow’s wife, Anne, passed after an extended illness. May peace and comfort be with Garth & his family.

Anne Marie Newton Barlow
returned to our Father in Heaven on September 2, 2025, following an extended illness. She was born on April 28, 1948, to Riley Newton and Lois Ivie in Salina, Utah. Her mother would tell her, “You were the most beautiful baby in Salina with dark hair and big brown eyes.” Anne was the second oldest in the family of five siblings who helped start her love of life and adventure. Wayne High School welcomed her as their youngest cheerleader wearing her own purple skirt uniform, with her dad as the coach and a picture in the yearbook. At the Salina City Pool, she won many diving competitions on the famous 4th of July celebration. Her childhood was spent chasing the elusive Annie Bangs throughout the hills of Sevier County. Anne graduated in 1966 from Skyline High School where she was in the Pep Club. She never let go of that role, always cheering and supporting every family member and friend.
At Skyline’s Senior final class party Anne met the love of her life, Garth Barlow. She bet him a quarter she could kiss him on the lips without touching them. Promptly she kissed him on the lips and paid up, claiming that was the best twenty-five cents she’d ever spent. They were married October 13,1967 and sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. The two were inseparable for nearly 58 years. They built a beautiful family, teaching their children the value of a good day’s work and honest effort, but perhaps she taught her children best by not forgetting to live life to the fullest and see His miracles in the daily details. Her best moments were spent going on adventures, summertime excursions, trips to Lake Powell and Yellowstone, having haunted houses in her basement, carnivals and puppet shows on her back patio as the neighborhood mom. Laughter and smiles would be made in any conversation as she was well known and loved for her quick wit and one-liners. Anne was a natural born storyteller. She would gather her children, grandchildren, and all the kids in the library at Holt Elementary. Using props and costumes with voices, she brought stories to life like her famous, “Alvin Alligator.” It was important to her that she taught her kids to serve others, family, and GOD. She supported three sons on missions. Belief in the Savior carried her through the most challenging points in her life. Holding on to this belief is what sustained her. As an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints she served in a variety of capacities including girls camp director for many years and as an ordinance worker in the Ogden Temple.
Anne considered her family one of her life’s greatest accomplishments. She is survived by her doting husband, Garth Barlow of Clearfield, Utah. Her four children and their spouses, Jeffrey (Jessica) Barlow of Oviedo, Florida. Jennifer (Todd) Garbett of Montpelier, Idaho. Jeremy Barlow (Gabe Holland) of Los Angeles, California and Kevin (Shantell) Barlow of Holladay, Utah. Together, Garth and Anne have 12 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren with one more arriving by Christmas.
Anne was preceded in death by her parents and her firstborn baby boy, Gregory.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at Clearfield 22nd Ward. 151 North 1000 West, Clearfield UT. Friends may visit with family on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Lindquist’s Syracuse Mortuary. 869 South 2000 West, Syracuse UT. and from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the church.

Happy Birthday to Susan Kimball kruse !
Her profile doesn’t load, but wanted to wish her a fine day !!

To all my Ram besties!

Hi Ram Friends! I never like adding obits to our In Memory area, but I do have one of our favorites to add, sadly, today. JIM WOODWARD! As active and successful as Jim was throughout his life, he suffered the part of it with ALS. also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. It’s a ruthless disease. My heartfelt sympathy to his wife, family, and friends..

Hey, Rams; Sadly, I just received an email from Kristine Jensen Bartle’s husband, Bill, letting us know that she passed away on April 1st of this year. This is the first I’d heard of it & I haven’t found an obituary. I did want to pass this sad news along though, I know Kris many dear friends at Highland. I’ll keep checking for an obituary. RIP, lovely Kristine.

They call us "The Elderly"
We were born in the 40-50-60’s.
We grew up in the 50-60-70's.
We studied in the 60-70-80's.
We were dating in the 70-80-90's.
We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90's.
We venture into the 80-90’s.
We stabilize in the 2000’s.
We got wiser in the 2010’s.
And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020.
Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades..
TWO different centuries..
TWO different millennia..
We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long–distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world.
We have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and Whats App.
From live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, colour TV and then to 3D HD TV.
We went to the Video store and now we watch Netflix.
We got to know the first computers, punch cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long trousers, Oxfords, flares, shell suits & blue jeans..
We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.
We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, petrol or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric..
Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had!
They could describe us as "exennials," people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
We've kind of "Seen-It-All"!
Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life..
It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE."
A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE!!!!

Rest Peacefully,  my HH '66 Classmate !!
