Merle Lowe Haroldsen, 80, passed away in her home from natural causes. She was born Sept 22, 1923 in Central, Idaho to Nellie Webb Lowe and Scott Downey Lowe. She married George Ivan Haroldsen on August 10, 1949 in the Idaho Falls, Idaho LDS Temple. In 1961, the family, which now included four sons, moved from their home in Idaho Falls to Salt Lake City.
