HOWELL - Mariner D. Munk, 89, has returned home to his loving Heavenly Father. He passed away peacefully of congestive heart failure at his home in Howell, Utah, on Oct. 3, 2011. He was born Aug. 10, 1922, in the original Munk farm house in Howell to Oliver M. and Kate Viva Cranney Munk. He attended Howell and McKinley elementary schools and was promoted from the 3rd to the 5th grade. He graduated from Bear River High School in 1939 and attended BYU. He served in the U.S. Air Force in 1942 and attained the rank of sergeant. He was trained as a radio operator and stationed in England. He was honorably discharged in 1945 and attended Utah State Agricultural College before serving an Eastern States LDS mission from 1947 to 1949. He married his sweetheart, Gwen Fackrell, in the Logan LDS Temple on April 7, 1949. Mariner and Gwen raised their family on the Howell family farm. He was a successful dry farmer raising wheat and ranger alfalfa seed. He raised turkeys, sheep, and did custom bulldozing. He was forced to retire last year when his health began to decline. He was very innovative and had the ability to keep old machinery productive. He and Gwen enjoyed the past 22 winters in Mesa, Ariz.
