Dorine Gibbs Arrington Obituary (1925 - 2014)

Dorine Gibbs Arrington SYRACUSE - On February 22, 2014 our dear mother left this life to move onto the next part of her eternal progression. Dorine was born May 7, 1925 in Logan, Utah to John Robert and Rachael Kloepfer Gibbs. She was raised in Portage, Utah and graduated from Bear River High School. Dorine married Cammon Tuckfield Arrington in the Salt Lake Temple on August 14, 1946. They were blessed with eight children. She spent the rest of her life devoted to making a better life for her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all the grandchildren yet to come. Her faith was the rock that laid the foundation for our testimonies, and her influence will be felt for generations. Her Christlike love was an example to all who knew her. She refused to speak ill of anyone and always looked for the good in others. Dorine served in many callings in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One of her favorite callings was serving as an ordinance worker in the Ogden Temple for 16 years. This service brought her great joy. She said that she never felt it was a sacrifice because it made her feel so good. Dorine's patriarchal blessing promised her that when she passed to the other side she would have great joy with all the people there for whom she had completed ordinance work for. Dorine was an active member of Daughters of Utah Pioneers, Cricket Camp, Clinton City, Utah. She very much enjoyed her association and friendship with the women there. The family would like to thank our dear sister Janet for all the sacrifices she made in serving and caring for our Mom. She is a true example of the life Mom had lived. Dorine is survived by five sons, Robert C. (Cheryl) Arrington, Syracuse; Craig L. (Mary) Arrington, Syracuse; Scott W. (Judy) Arrington, Layton; Mark G. (Donetta) Arrington, Heber City; Kent J. (Michele) Arrington, Concepcion, Chile; three daughters, Diane (Loren) Walker, Willard; Janet Arrington, Syracuse; Lisa Kay (Dan) Osmond, Farr West; 25 grandchildren; 64 great-grandchildren; two great-great grandchildren; two brothers, John R.

She was preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Ruth Gibbs Dixon and Karma Gibbs Taylor; and one brother, Grant Leroy Gibbs.
