UNA BLATTER CONCORD, CA -- Una Burke Blatter passed away unexpectedly on June 6, 2005, in Concord, California. She was born April 26, 1935, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, the sixth daughter of Lemuel Burke and Caroline Pierce Burke. She graduated from Bonneville High School in 1953, then attended college at Brigham Young University. While at BYU she married her high school sweetheart, Kay Monte Blatter. They lived in St. Louis while her husband attended dental school, then in 1962 they moved to Concord, California, where Kay started his dental practice. They have lived in Clayton, California, for 42 years. She filled her time doing those things she loved most – raising her family, serving others in her church organization, working with Kay, and vacationing with family and friends. Upon retirement, Una and Kay served a full time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 18 months. She will be greatly missed by her husband, Kay, her six children, Gary Blatter of Orem, Utah; Kevin Blatter and Kari Rojas of Concord, CA; Allen Blatter, Brian Blatter and Lynette Woods of Clayton, CA; and 26 grandchildren. She inspired us each to be our best self, encouraged us through our difficult times, and taught us by example that the greatest happiness comes from helping others. Her example of faith and love has become part of us and will continue on. We are grateful for her influence as a wife, mother, grandma, sister, and friend. And we rejoice that families are forever!
