Charles Nyberg Hansen, 93, passed away on May 22, 2009 at his home in Salt Lake City of causes incident to age.
Born November 28, 1915 in Fairview, Utah to Hans Peter and Selma Nyberg Hansen.
He was the youngest of six children and had many wonderful childhood friends in Fairview and Salt Lake City.
He married his sweetheart, Lois Ivory, of Fountain Green, Utah on May 29, 1943 in the Manti Temple. They had two sons and two daughters and were a devoted couple, celebrating 66 years together on Friday.
Charles graduated from the University of Utah in 1940 with degrees in both chemical and metallurgical engineering. He was a member of the American Society of Professional Engineers and upon his retirement from Wasatch Chemical, developed seven patents in the field of de-icing, including some of which were researched and prosecuted pro se. As much as Charles loved to be an inventor, he and Lois also loved to play tennis with their friends.
An active and faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he and Lois served a mission to Oakland, California from 1983 to 1985. He was an instructor in many church classes and served in a bishopric and stake high council. The highlight of his church service was the opportunity to work in the Salt Lake Temple for 20 years with his sweet wife Lois.
Charles always considered himself to be a "stay-at-home" person but since he was married to Lois, who was more of a "gypsy," they traveled to Mexico, Israel, Egypt, China, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and Scandinavia, where he was always "proud to be a Dane."
His greatest happiness together with Lois was his family. He was always supportive and "relished" in the various activities and accomplishments of his children and grandchildren, who were the joy of his life and have brought him great happiness.
Survived by his wife, Lois Ivory, his children, C. David (Suzanne Barton), Royal Ivory (Laura Cowley), Marianne (Richard) Jackson, Julie Lynne (Boyd) Jensen; 24 grandchildren and 41 great-grandchildren and one sister Edith Willardsen. Preceded in death by brothers John Castleton Hansen, Allan Lamont Hansen, Edward LeRoss Hansen, sister Mary Vondella Hansen Hanley, and a grandchild Jill Marie Jensen.
