Der'Rell Slagowski
Der'Rell Slagowski, 83, of Ogden, Utah, peacefully passed away in her sleep on October 26, 2020. Der'Rell was born July 13, 1937 in Ogden, Utah to Arch and Silvia Storey and was one of five children. She had three brothers - Joe, Richard, George (Pete) and one sister - Joyce.
Der'Rell was married to Milton Richard Slagowski on September 17, 1952. They had five children together: Milton Jr., Eldred, Silvia, Pamela, and Kenneth. They were later divorced, but Der'Rell never remarried; she said Milton was the love of her life and she would never be able to love another the way she loved him.
Der'Rell had many grandchildren she held dear in her heart. She worked as a cook most of her life and took pride in running her kitchen. She loved to crochet, do ceramics, attend theater performances and most of all - sewing, earning her nickname Grandma Zoe! Her favorite things in life were Farr's Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice cream, Peeps, and motorcycle rides (in her younger years), but most of all, she loved her dog Becca.
Der'Rell is survived by her brother, Joe, her children's father, Milton Richard Slagowski, her children: Milton Richard Slagowski Jr.(Anne), Silvia Ann Tanner (William), Pamela Dee Brookshire, Kenneth Clay Slagowski (Melanie), her niece Judy, her grandchildren: Santina Linke, Nathan Brookshire, Richard Garrison, Sabrina Slagowski-Tipton, Jennifer Fullmer, Michelle Muniz, Samantha Slagowski, Gerald Tanner, Vanessa Tanner, Sara Zobell, Joshua Slagowski, her great-grandchildren: Tye, Justis, Kylee, Cassidy, Jaden, Rillian, Alyssa, Kia, Jaxson, Zion, Shaun, Mathew, Cody, Samantha, William, Christopher, Ethan; her great-great-grandchildren: Page, Colter, and Charlie.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Arch and Silvia Storey, her brothers: Richard and Pete, her sister Joyce, and her son, Eldred.
