Marva Harman Casper

July 17, 1924 ~ November 02, 2008

Our loving mother, Marva H. Casper, 84, passed away on November 2, 2008 in Salt Lake City. She was born in Magna, Utah, on July 7, 1924, the daughter of Charles Royal Harman and Clara Lillian Simmons. Mother married George D. Daley August 25, 1943 and later married Delmar R. Casper June 6, 1957.

Our mother was always a very hard worker. Her family always came first in her life. She was the corner stone of our family. She always made sure that everyone felt part of whatever was going on and that no one was left out. Mother worked as a meat wrapper at Smith’s Grocery Store for over 20 years and later worked as a crossing guard on 3900 South and 900 East.

The kids loved mother. They all referred to her fondly as “Casper.” She loved being with the children. Mother is survived by her children Marva J. Daley, Diane H. Carn (Ross), Judd Casper (Patricia), Richard A. Casper (Bobby) and Michelle (Missy) Hockemier (Ron); 13 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and her siblings Lillian Faye Willard, Charles LeRoy Harman and Mary Ann Pribyl.
