Leonor Iverson Obituary (1927 - 2015)

Our loving mother and grandmother, Leonor, was born on April 28, 1927 and died peacefully in the arms of family on January 17, 2015 after many challenging health issues. She was born in Salt Lake City to Leo and Dora Wagenaar. She married Wally Iverson on September 18, 1946 and had two children. They were later divorced. Lee worked in banking for Walker Bank, Wells Fargo and Zion's Bank. She also worked part time as a receptionist at a restaurant and a motel trying to make extra money to support her children. Lee had a great love for her family and her many friends. Her children were her entire life. She lived many years longer than the doctors said she would—saying she did not want to leave her family. She loved unconditionally, gave what she could and asked for nothing in return. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and received much help and support from them. Lee loved to dance and was the Ward Dance Instructor and Primary Teacher. She worked hard and made it on her own, still living in her house until the end. Being a teller in a bank is no way to become wealthy, but she always said that her true wealth was family. Lee is survived by her brother Lee Wagenaar and his wife, Lareene, their three children Karen, Diane and Susan Watson and her husband Loren; daughter Julee Hansen and her husband Ken, their two children Kris Scott, Kari Hewitt and her husband Darrell; son Brad and his wife Laurie, their two children David and Rachael Iverson. Preceded in death by her grandson-in-law, Richard Scott. Funeral Services will be held Saturday, January 24, 2015, at 12 Noon at Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary, 4760 S. State Street, with a viewing from 10-11:45 a.m. Interment will follow at the Salt Lake City Cemetery, 200 North "N" Street.
