July 28, 1922 ~ June 19, 2010

Keith Schwartz, 87, of Lindon, long-time resident of Fontana, California, passed away Saturday, June 19, 2010, surrounded by loved-ones. He was born July 28, 1922 in Payson, Utah, to Paul Eugene Schwartz and Ida Davis.

Keith grew up in Benjamin, Utah. When he was 18 he moved to San Bernardino, California, where he met his future wife Doris Elaine Ingold while employed at Morrow Aircraft Company. Prior to their marriage, Keith served two years in the European Theater with the U. S. Army in World War II. Upon Keith’s return, he married his sweetheart, Doris Elaine in Fontana, and their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple.

After graduating from the California College of Mortuary Science in 1947, Keith managed, and later owned, Ingold Chapel Funeral Home, for forty years. As a businessman Keith was involved in many community organizations.

Keith was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serving as counselor in a Bishopric, Bishop, High Councilor, and Stake Mission leader. He enjoyed work, building and flying airplanes, working on any repair or remodeling project, and being with his family. We will all miss Grandpa’s melodious whistling, laughter and those beautiful blue eyes.

He is survived by his wife Doris Elaine, Lindon; and three children, Elaine Kay (Charles) Cripps, Pinon Hills, CA; son Larry (Amelia) Schwartz, Lindon; Randy Schwartz, Orem; 14 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren; and a brother, Glade Schwartz, of Spanish Fork.

Special thanks to the Harmony Home Health and Hospice team for their love and tender care.

Friends and family may attend a viewing for Keith, Wednesday evening, June 23, 2010 from 6-8 p.m. at Olpin Family Mortuary, 494 South 300 East, Pleasant Grove. Private family services will be held Thursday, June 24, 2010.  Interment will be at the Lindon City Cemetery.
