Mayor Fay Hatch inducted two couples into the Taylor Hall of Fame at the June 30 Taylor Patriotic Pro-gram.

First up were Mitch and Cindy Farr.

The mayor noted that when Cindy was 4 years old, her family moved from El Paso to Phoenix and years later to Heber. She graduated in 1981 from Snowflake High School and is a true blue Lobo cheerleader. She was a cheerleader at Eastern Arizona College in Thatcher as well.

Mitch had a passion for dirt bikes as a teenager, and was a practical joker. He is a 1980 graduate of SHS and served a mission to Portland, Ore., for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

He and his sweetheart of 29 years were married in the Mesa LDS Temple and began their life together in Taylor. They have six children, with one being born in the car in Bellybutton, and are expecting grandbaby No. 3 in December.

He is known as a businessman of integrity.

She spent 18 years in the scouting program, doing everything from working as cub leader to serving on boards and committees. She holds a special ceremony for Scouts who earn the Arrow of Life.

The 4-H program has also been a significant part of their family for 15 years. She served on the Livestock Committee for four years, the Silver Creek 4-H for seven years and the Livestock Auction. He has helped many times with his handyman skills.

They each have held many church callings. He was a moving force with the Taylor Stake Youth Pioneer Trek, served on the Taylor Town Council and Beautification Committee, and has a profound love for the peo-ple of Taylor.

Mayor Hatch noted that the next couple, Dennis and Carole Owens, met for the first time in 1978 while he was best man at his best friend’s wedding. He knew she was the love of his life, but she was only 14. He told his friend then that he would wait for her to grow up and he did.

They have six children and volunteer many hours in Taylor.

She is a member of the voting board and chairman of the Taylor Sweet Corn Festival.

He is a veteran, and the one to call if you need something done.

They are active in church callings and enjoy teaching others how to be self-sufficient.

Family is most important to them, and they recruit the whole family to help out with whatever they are involved in.
