Ottesen, Lois Nielsen
OPEN THE GATES OF HEAVEN . . .
OUR TIRELESS MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER, WONDERFUL SISTER, AUNT, GOOD FRIEND, AND
ANGEL IN DISGUISE, IS ON HER WAY.
NEITHER EARTH NOR HEAVEN WILL EVER BE THE SAME
Lois Nielsen Ottesen closed her eyes on Friday, October 22, 2004, to the world
she loved in spite of adversities that few could have endured as courageously
and faithfully as she did.
Lois, and twin sister, Lola, were born on April 17, 1924, to James and Rebecca
A. Pace Nielsen. Graduating from Spanish Fork High School with the class of
1942, a class that found their immediate future facing World War II; wanting
to support her country, Lois went to work at Hercules Powder Plant making
explosives, needed for the war.
Lois married Capt. Sharrel K. Ottesen, USMC, on November 4, 1943, in the Salt
Lake Temple. Their long distance marriage continued as Sharrel completed his
overseas military service as a fighter pilot. Lois prayed, wrote daily
letters, and waited for his safe return. Sharrel passed away in 1980.
They were blessed with one daughter and three sons: Lola Sharrelyn (Michael)
Hansen; Karl Nielsen Ottesen, deceased; John Roger, deceased (Gloria) Ottesen;
and Wesley Nielsen (Lynn) Ottesen.
Known for her beautiful tributes to family, friends, and neighbors, Lois spent
endless hours creating and presenting these thoughts from her heart. She
lifted spirits and spread joy in the lives of many as the author of the fun
filled "Hat Show". She and her sisters (and special friends) performed from
Nephi to Salt Lake for special  get-togethers  and parties. It was a
delightful way to make friends and spend an hour laughing and forgetting about
the cares of the world.
Lois was a faithful servant in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. She was a devoted Relief Society teacher, a lifetime friend to the
Young Women she taught, stake and ward Primary Chorister, and stake Sunday
School Coordinator. She gave one hundred percent in every calling she was
given.
She spent many years working as an assistant to Dr. Leonard Foote. Adults
confided in her as a good friend and children trusted and adored her. She was
an excellent co-worker to those who shared responsibility of caring for
others. She made lifetime friends as a secretary for the Spanish Fork Police
Department. She respected the officers; and; in return; the officers expressed
appreciation and praise for her tireless and sincere efforts in the
department. She retired in 1994.
Her roll as grandmother or  gran-goon  as she was affectionately referred to,
brought hugs, surprises, and smiles to each of her eleven very special
grandchildren. Her constant concern for their well-being was heart warming to
Matt, Natalie, and Chad Hansen; Corey, Jason, Michelle, Melyssa, and Nycholas
Ottesen; John Eric, Scott, and Kelli Ann Ottesen; as well as 19
great-grandchildren.
A favorite "Auntie" to scores of nieces and nephews, she was sought out as a
confidante and much loved friend to each one.
As a sister, she was flawless in her caring devotion to each brother and
sister. She had built-in radar that led her to anyone in need of a listening
ear or special need. Surviving siblings: Norma N. Broadbent, Jane N. Strong,
Florence Ruth N. (Joseph E.) Creer, Lola N. (Thane) Stone, J. Ross (Mary Jane)
Nielsen, Kathleen N. (LeRoy) Whitehead, and brother-in-law, Stanley H. Cole.
Deceased siblings: Lynwood, LaVar, Mark, Fay N. Page, Lucille N. Jones, Mary
Louise (Mamie) N. Johnson, Afton Caroline N. (Cally) Cole.
Our love and sincere appreciation to Bryan and Kalene Mathews and staff at
Hearthstone Manor; also to Harmony Hospice, Rick Ortiz, Lisa Adams, Connie
Clark, and Ann Douglas.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, October 27, 2004, at
the Spanish Fork 4th Ward Chapel, 381 East 400 North. Friends may call at
Walker Family Mortuary, 187 South Main, Spanish Fork, on Tuesday evening from
