Logan, Utah: Our loving mother, Lois Mae Anderson Karren, 91, passed away on March 14, 2008 in Logan, of causes incident to age.
Lois was born on June 4, 1916 in Logan, the first of three children born to James Raymond and Vella Benson Anderson.
She had a very happy childhood growing up in Logan and attending schools there. She was taught by her mother, aunt, and grandmother Benson many homemaking skills which she used to bless the lives of her children and grandchildren. She married M. Ted Karren on September 16, 1939 in the Logan Temple. They dated throughout their years at USU, both graduating from there. Lois received her degree in home economics and taught at Weber High school for one year. After marriage, they lived in Washington and Montana for a few years before settling back in Logan, where they lived for the next 61 years.
Six children were born to them in eighteen years, five sons and one daughter. Lois devoted her time fully to raising her family, serving in various callings in the LDS Church, including Relief Society President, homemaking leader, and primary teacher, and supporting her husband in his business, church and community endeavors. She and Ted served in the Logan Temple for many years.
Lois loved sewing, handiwork, growing vegetables and flowers in her garden, and cooking wonderful food. All of these talents she shared with family, neighbors and friends. Her home was always a haven to overnight guests and extended family. She was the ultimate homemaker.
Friendships were cherished and developed through square dancing, literary clubs, Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, and serving on alumni committees at USU. Traveling with her husband and family has taken her to many places in the world. She and her husband served in the North Carolina Mission for the LDS Church in 1987.
She is survived by her husband, Ted, of 68 years, children Steven (Johnnie) Karren of Logan, Gary (Joanne) Karren of Logan, Dale (Janet) Karren of Farmington, Utah, Lee (Kristen) Karren of Logan, Diane (Jesse) Hunsaker of Alpine, Utah, Kent (Wendy) Karren of Eugene, Oregon; 27 grandchildren and 32 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers, Earl and Clyde Anderson, and two grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 in the Lundstrom Park 3rd Ward Chapel. A viewing will be held on Monday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at the Allen-Hall Mortuary and prior to services at the church on Tuesday from 9:30 to 10:30 AM.
