On November 23, 2015, Dallas Pauline Jordan Burns Hatch returned to her Heavenly Father after living a life full of faith, love, and service. Dallas was born December 28, 1933, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to Melvin and Florence Moore Jordan as the last of their seven children. She was raised in Milo, Idaho, a place she viewed as the best place on earth. Milo is just 10 miles northeast of Idaho Falls along the Yellowstone Highway; you turn left at the big red barn and arrive at a magical place where she had a cherished childhood.
Dallas loved farm life and the many opportunities to look at work as play. She was a certified ‘tom boy' and loved to fish and hunt with her parents and family. She loved having older siblings and would admit that she might have been a bit ‘spoiled.' She loved school (and was proud to be in the final graduating class and valedictorian of Ucon High School) and the associations she made there that continued throughout her life.
She attended Ricks College and was chosen as Miss Ricks 1952. It was while attending Ricks she met and married Keven Henry Burns on October 15, 1953, in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. They remained in eastern Idaho until Keven passed away of complications associated with heart surgery on February 9, 1964.
Following Keven's passing, Dallas, as a 30-year-old widow, demonstrated that determination for which she was famous by gathering up her three kids and going back to college at BYU in Provo, Utah. Her goal was to secure a degree in teaching. Through the assistance of many and a desire to put herself in a position to provide for her family, she completed her Bachelors and Masters of Education. She then returned to her beloved Idaho to teach in District 93 in the fall of 1966, later working at the BYU/Ricks Center supervising student teachers.
In the fall of 1967, she was introduced to Harvey Allen Hatch, a local doctor who also lost his spouse in 1964. They found a lot in common, and they were married for time in the Idaho Falls Temple on June 1, 1968. Harvey would often admit that he got the better part of the deal in marrying Dallas. They had 32 happy years of traveling, fishing, snowmobiling, family reunions, picnics up the river bottoms, and working at the two cabins: the old one in Swan Valley and the beloved one on the north side of Henry's Lake where so many cherished family gatherings and memories occurred.
She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served missions in Miami, FL (Spanish-speaking); in Auckland, New Zealand; and at the Salt Lake Family History Center. She held many church positions, including Stake Relief Society President and Ward Relief Society President on three different occasions. She taught her family that the gospel is the adhesive that holds us all together.
Her legacy to her family and friends was her ability to make you feel like you were the only person in the world when you talked to her, and that she was genuinely listening to you! She was everyone's ‘Grandma Hatch.' She liked the common personalities; for sure, no rich or educational pretenses carried weight with her. Honesty was her only policy, and she held to the ‘eleventh commandment:' ‘Thou shall bring positive results!'
She was a diehard sports fan and especially loved football. She bled BYU blue, so she bled often. The quality of the holidays was dependent on how BYU teams performed, particularly against the University of Utah. She was not a passive observer; she would use her cow whistle and, after a particularly great block, would yell, "How does that taste!" at the television or at whomever would listen in the stadium. She understood the game of football and often shared her critique of coaching calls.
Dallas is survived by her three children: Jordan (Carol) Burns, Ahwatukee/Phoenix, AZ; Bryce (Julie) Burns, Orem, UT; and Stacey (Shane) Smoot, Centerville, UT. Dallas was also blessed with six other children through her marriage to Harvey Hatch: Diane Hatch, Salt Lake City, UT; Harvey (Sharon) Hatch, LDS Alpine German Mission; Kathy (Bob) Fotheringham, Holladay, UT; Mike Hatch, Oakland, CA; Jill (Gene) Orro, Pelham, MA; and Laurie (Rusty) Hunt. Dallas has 25 grandchildren and 32 great-grandchildren. Dallas is preceded in death by Keven Henry Burns (husband) in 1964, Harvey Allen Hatch (husband) in 2001, her parents, all six of her siblings, Laurie Beth Hunt (step-daughter), Gene Orro (step-son-in-law), and Jaren Bryce Burns (grandson).
A viewing will be held in Salt Lake City at Larkin Mortuary located at 260 East South Temple on Tuesday, December 1, 2015, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, December 3, at the Idaho Falls 2nd Ward building located at 855 Boulevard at noon. Prior to the service, there will be a viewing beginning at 10:00 a.m. Interment will follow at the Ammon Cemetery under the direction of Wood Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Dallas Jordan Burns Hatch Endowed Scholarship at BYU Idaho to benefit single mothers returning to school (website: give.byui.edu).
