Yvonne Larsen Steele

Yvonne Bonnie Steele died peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, January 17, 2010. She never did like a Cache Valley winter and this was her way of skipping it at last. She leaves behind a loving family and friends, but we know we will see her again. Now she's with Dad and he'll have to cut back on his golf games in Heaven. She is survived by a daughter Kathleen Brent Daugherty of Hyde Park, Utah, a son Greg Colleen Steele of Reno, Nevada, sisters Barbara Baldauf and Shirly Hilton Mose and a brother Raymond Kirma Larsen along with grandkids: Jeff, Jason, Nikole, Kristina, KC, and Michelle and their families. Her husband Gordon and son Scott, as well as her parents and her 3 oldest brothers, are waiting for her with our Heavenly Father. Viola Yvonne Larsen was born in Brigham City, Utah, the 3rd of 7 children to Merlin R and Judith V Larsen. She was always proud to be from Box Elder and we liked to tease her about being a Peach Queen. Mom and Dad met at the LDS Business College and were married in 1942. Following the war, they decided to stay in Logan where Dad had been stationed. Mom ended up working for over 30 years for the State of Utah in the Department of Employment Security which later became Job Service. Along the way there were 3 kids: Kathleen, Greg, and Scott. In her spare time Mom did a little bowling, played a little golf, loved to dance, served in the temple for at least 20 years, and always enjoyed her friends, whether it was playing bridge, walking in the morning, or just talking. The family would like to thank the kind folks at Alpine Homecare and Hospice, as well as all of the wonderful neighbors in the Lundstrom Park 3rd Ward area, and of course all of Moms friends. Some have already gone on ahead and she'll be waiting for the rest. The funeral will be held Friday, January 22, 2010 at 11 AM at the LDS chapel at 1260 North 1600 East in Logan. A viewing will be held that morning at the church beginning at 9:30AM. There will also be a viewing on Thursday evening, January 21 from 6:00 to 8:00PM at Nelson Funeral Home, 162 East 400 North, in Logan. Interment will be in the Logan Cemetery.
