Mrs Hattie Jane (Jean) D. Munk, wife of the late Dr. Newel E. Munk, died April 12, 2005 at home. She was born April 22, 1904 at Bennion, Utah, the daughter of Thomas W. and Nora Bennion Dimond.

She was graduated from the Granite High school and the University of Utah. Later she received a master’s degree from Brigham Young University and pursued on-campus graduate studies at the universities of Utah, Wisconsin, Hawaii and USC. A teacher by profession, she taught English and social studies in Utah, California and Hawaii.

She was married to Milton Morris Foster in Hawaii. They were later divorced.

Dr. John C. Carlisle was the principal of Payson high school when she taught there. When he learned she had returned to Utah and was available for employment, he suggested that she apply at the local school board since Inez Maughan was being retired. Mrs. Munk came to Logan in 1946 and has resided here since.

In December 1950 she was married to Dr. Newel E. Munk. Following their marriage, she taught for several years. Then when Dr. Munk retired from the practice of dentistry, they traveled extensively and enrolled in many Institute classes.

Throughout her earlier life Mrs. Munk was active in LDS church activities. Before coming to Logan she had taught in Primary and YWMIA organizations and for several years was the Bennion ward organist. Since residing in Logan she taught the Gospel Doctrine class in Sunday School. For many years she was a member of the Clio Club and active in the First District Dental Society.

She is survived by Dr. Munk’s daughters: Maridean Ryberg, Veda Romney, Jeanette Woolley (James) of Salt Lake City and Joan Gunn (Thomas) of Park City, Utah.
