Coralie Maughan Larsen passed away in her home on November 27, 2019.
She was born May 29, 1934 at the home of her maternal grandparents, Neils J. and Matilda Larsen in Hyrum, Utah.
She was the fourth of nine children born to Heber Darley and June Larsen Maughan. She spent her childhood in Wellsville, Utah, on a farm below the beautiful Wellsville mountains. She attended Floradell Elementary and Wellsville Jr. High Schools. She graduated from South Cache High School after which she started work at Hill Air Force Base as a clerk typist.
She was married to Glade L. Larsen on March 26, 1952 in the Logan LDS Temple. They became the parents of two sons and one daughter. They were happily married for 60 years until his death in 2012.
Coralie was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and held many callings in the Relief Society, Primary and Youth programs. She valued her service as a temple worker with her husband in the Logan Temple.
She was an active member of many organizations that held a special place in her life. Among them were the Ladies Lions Club, Hyrum Civic Club, Hyrum Literary Club, and ExLibris. In the Cynthia Benson Camp of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, she held the offices of Vice-Captain and organist for many years. Her pioneer ancestors were very important to her and she enjoyed reading and sharing their histories.
