LaMar Clark Nagle

With much sadness and great pride, we said goodbye to LaMar Clark Nagle on Sunday, March 18, 2018. He was ninety-one. LaMar was born August 21, 1926 in Garfield to Clark and Alene Nagle. He attended South High School, where he was known as one of the best fullbacks in the region, and where he met the love of his life, Lenore Strong. After high school, he received a scholarship to the University of Utah. Though he left football for education, he married Lenore. LaMar graduated from the University of Utah in 1950, then returned to the U. to earn a master's degree in Education Administration. He taught at Highland High School, where he influenced and inspired thousands of students during his thirty-three-year career. He was an English teacher, the school's sports photographer, and the stage crew and auditorium supervisor; later, he designed and directed the Highland High Media Center. LaMar and Lenore lived in Holladay, where they raised a family of six children, which became an extended family of twenty-eight (thirty-eight with in-laws). LaMar was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He led a life of integrity, honesty, and dignity, and he was a lifelong role model for his family. LaMar is survived by Lenore, his beautiful wife of sixty-nine years; sons, Jon (Rhonda), Bret, and Randy (Paula); daughters, Julianne, Amy (Anthony), and Kara (Al); fifteen grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and brother, Gary. We will be celebrating the well-lived life of this well-loved man on Saturday, March 24, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. in the Holladay Twenty-Sixth Ward Building of the LDS Church, 4601 South Chapel Drive (2565 East), Holladay, where viewings will be from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Friday, March 23, 2018 and prior to the services on Saturday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Interment will be at the Alpine Cemetery in Alpine.
