❦ Early Life: Evan was born February 15, 1920, in Hyrum, Utah, the youngest child of Peter Baugh and Alice Anderson Baugh. The youngest of eight children growing up in humble circumstances, he learned to work hard at a young age. He was a good student and an outstanding basketball and tennis player in high school and at Utah State University.
❦ Life's Work | Service | Interests: On March 7, 1941, Evan married Clara Walters Bair in the Logan Utah Temple. He was awarded his undergraduate degree and military commission on the same day in 1942. He served in the United States Army during World War II for 46 months from 1942 to 1946. He was stationed at Fort Worden, Washington, as well as in Washington D.C. in OSS training, and in the Philippines.
❦ In 1948, he moved with his wife and three children (later two more children were born to them) to Orem, Utah, where he taught math and coached basketball at Lincoln High School for seven years. Once the new Orem High School was built in 1956, he elected to remain at the Lincoln Junior High School where he continued to teach math. He later became the principal of that school and then principal of the newly built Lakeridge Junior High School. He retired in 1980, after having taught for 19 years and been a principal for 17.
❦ Evan enjoyed fishing, hunting, tennis and golf. He served as president of the Utah School Administrators Association and President of the Orem Kiwanis Club. He worked for many years in the summer for SCERA, running the men's softball program and later, the junior baseball program. He was a high school football and basketball official for many years until he became a school principal. He refereed college basketball in the old Skyline Conference and then in the Western Athletic Conference for 13 years. Following his retirement, he served for 15 years in various leadership capacities for AARP in the Western States.
❦ As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he served in a number of capacities including high priests group leader, counselor in a bishopric, and as a temple ordinance worker with his wife, Clara. His last formal church callings, which he faithfully fulfilled, were home teaching and assisting Cub Scouts and their leaders. Most of all, he was an outstanding father and grandfather. He dearly love his children and grandchildren and they dearly love him. Evan Alvin Baugh, of Orem, Utah, passed away peacefully Wednesday, December 6, 2017, with his family at his bedside. He was 97.
