Dorothy Gomm
Dorothy Ann Barnes Comm, 75, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, passed away in Logan, Utah Saturday, Oct. 22, 2011.
She was born March 30, 1936 in Arco Idaho to Alfred Emory Barnes and Dorothy Tracy, the seventh of nine children. At the age of 10, she worked alongside her brothers in the potato fields and drove while her brothers loaded the sacks. She traveled with the family custom combining operation as they worked form Tremonton back to Arco, working alongside her mother as they supported her father and brothers. She enjoyed being with friends and cousins, and organized most of their social activities.
While in High School, she met her eternal companion, Fred Bryant Gomm. Shortly after their meeting he was drafted into the Army. The two corresponded regularly, and upon his return, she greeted him with a hug rather than a handshake. They soon became engaged and were married for time and eternity July 29, 1953 in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple.
Bryant’s new career took them to Bozeman, Mont., and within a few years their family had three new additions: Debra Ann, Michael, and James. While there she served as a Stake Camp Director. A work transfer sent them to Flagstaff, Ariz., in 1963, where their fourth and youngest child Susan, was born.
