May 13, 1913 - June 14, 2009
Funeral services for Helen Lasson, 96, life time resident and daughter of founding pioneer ancestors of Mount Pleasant will be held in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint at 461 N. 300 W. Mount Pleasant, Utah. The viewing will be at the Church from 12:00pm until 12:45pm; the funeral service at 1:00pm.
Mrs. Lasson passed away early Sunday morning, June 14, 2009, due to congestive heart failure and the effects of breast cancer. Helen has lived in Sanpete County all of her life except for the time she and her husband Edgar (Ted) Lasson spent in the Kentucky Louisiana Mission for the church or Jesus Christ of Latter-day-saints. Her love for the people of Sanpete Valley was only exceeded by her love of God and her family. Dedicated service to her family, church, and community has always been of high priority in her life. Helen has always loved to serve and socialize with friends and loved ones. Her humor and happy pleasant personality will be missed by all who knew and loved her. She is well known and respected for her hard work and determined spirit.
Helen and Ted were married on 12 Aug. 1936 and later sealed to each other and their children, 30 Oct. 1947 in the Manti LDS Temple. Helen was preceded in death by her parents Leonard & Cleo Frandsen; sister Bernita; brother Russell; brother Oscar Reed; grandson Gordon Shelley; daughter Gloria and her husband Edgar Eugene Lasson. She is survived by her sister Lucile Stevens and her children: Marjorie Lasson Shelley (Elwin) of Salt Lake City, Robert Lasson (Sheila) of Alpine, Keith Lasson (Minty) of Cedar City, Alan Lasson (Jolene) of Salt Lake City, and Kenneth Lasson (Sue) of Salt Lake City. Helen has 18 Grandchildren; 34 Great-grandchildren and 2 Great-Great-grandchildren.
The Lasson family would like to express gratitude to Helen's special close friends: Jon & Loyce Schuman, Bob and Joanna Skelton, Linda Larsen (Helen's friend & hairstylist for 30yrs.), and Bishop Mike Olsen. The family also acknowledges the kind loving care from Jan & Shawna and the staff at Autumn Park Assisted Living in Nephi with special appreciation to her nurse Tiffany Hurst.
