SALT LAKE CITY - Elisa Young Rogers Wirthlin, wife of Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, passed away Wednesday night at the LDS Hospital. She died of causes incident to age.

According to family members, funeral arrangements are set for Monday, August 21 at 12:00 noon at the Bonneville Stake Center, 1535 E. Bonneview Drive in Salt Lake City.

Wirthlin is a direct descendant of Utah pioneers. Her father, Orson Madsen Rogers, was the grandson of Aurelia Spencer Rogers, the first president of the Primary, an association for children organized in Utah in 1878. Her mother, Bernice Young, was the granddaughter of Joseph Young, the brother of Brigham Young. Elisa Rogers, the youngest of four children, was born 22 June 1919 in Salt Lake City.

During the time she attended East High, Elisa often heard of a local high school football player, Joseph Wirthlin, but they did not become acquainted until he returned from a mission for his church and they were both students at the University of Utah. Joseph Wirthlin came to the Rogers' home to visit Elisa's sister and Elisa answered the door. When asked whether he was flustered at their first meeting, Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin told ABC 4 News, "Yeah, very much. My impression was, 'There's my future wife.'" Joseph called her a few days later for a date and she accepted. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple 26 May 1941 by David O. McKay, a member of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "It was she. She was the most important part of my life," Elder Wirthlin said...
