Yuriko Inouye Obituary (1929 - 2015)

Yuriko Sayama Inouye Yuriko Sayama Inouye, our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, auntie, and friend died peacefully on Thursday, September 17, 2015. Yuri was born on February 26, 1929 in Brigham City to Kenji and Sumi Sayama. She grew up on the Sayama family farm in Corinne and graduated from Box Elder High School. Yuri and George went on a first date to a movie and Peach City in March 1955. Soon after, she baked him a banana cream pie and an apple pie on her coal stove. They were married on April 2, 1955. In the years following, Yuri farmed side by side with George and worked as a cook at Roy Junior High School. Yuri loved her family and couldn't have felt happier as each child, grandchild, and great-grandchild came into the family. She treated everyone with gentle kindness and always loved feeding people their favorite foods for each birthday, holiday, and special occasion. Family favorites include homemade rolls, wontons, chowmein noodles, pot roast, sushi, potato salad, pork charsiu, and spaghetti. She could always tell the difference between cakes made from boxed mixes and cakes made from scratch. Her chocolate, white, and yellow cakes with buttercream frosting were the best! She leaves each of us well fed and with many happy memories. Yuri is survived by her husband, George, children, Susan Spehar (Rick), Kent, Ronald (Monica), sister, Hatsuko Matsumoto, eight grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, brother- and sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, four brothers, Hiroshi, Kazuo, Atsushi, Shoichi, and one son, Gerald. Special thanks to Nurse Vicky of IHC Hospice.
