Mount Pleasant

Listen to Obituary

Velma May Moosman, 85, of Mount Pleasant, Utah passed away on November 4, 2025. Velma was born on January 9, 1940 to her loving parents Leroy James and Guelda Rose Bucklar Moosman. Growing up in Circleville, Utah Velma enjoyed a childhood surrounded by friends, family and the wonders of small town life. Her family moved to Mount Pleasant while Velma was a teenager. Over her lifetime Velma lived in many new communities and grew through the new experiences and challenges she encountered along the way. She raised four children teaching them the importance of family, self-reliance and hard work. Velma loved to share her stories of growing up, and of her many adventures wandering through the deserts of southern Utah with her sisters. Later in life she enjoyed cooking, quilting, sewing and helping with humanitarian projects. Her family will forever be reminded of her each time they see a jigsaw puzzle strewn across a table ready to be assembled.

 

Mom shares this message:

“Thank you to family and friends for the contributions you made to my overly filled cup of life. No regrets, No should haves. The day has come that there are no more tomorrows for me. I want my family to know they were and will always be loved.”

 

Velma is survived by her four children; Deborah (Thomas) Rees, Holly (Kent) Rosenlof, Chad (Charese) Johansen, and Mary Johansen; 13 grandchildren and 21 beautiful great grandchildren; her sisters LuJean and RoseMarie.

 

Velma is preceded in death by her husband Roy Daniels; her parents LeRoy and Guelda Moosman; her sisters Mary Elizabeth (Harvey) Madsen and Jeneal Anderson; her brothers DelRoy John Moosman, Foster Valdean Moosman, and George LeRoy Moosman (stillborn).

 

There will be a Service of Remembrance for her family and close friends on Friday, November 14th, 1:00 at the Rasmussen Funeral Home, 96 North 100 West, Mount Pleasant, UT.

 

Velma will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Her love and sense of adventure will live on in the hearts of those she touched.

BUILDING OF ST. GEORGE TEMPLE ~~From Our Archives

Building of St. George Temple

Work was commenced on the St. George Temple, March II. 1873; as in the past, the citizens of Mt. Pleasant readily responded to the call. Those at home donated liberally and on December 2nd. the following men and boys left their homes to perform labor on the temple: Lars Rasmussen, Christian Christensen, Hans Hansen, Soren Jacobsen, Chris Peel, August Nelson, William Olson, Jacob Jensen, Hans Davidson, Olaf Rosenlof, Thomas Coates, Christian Madsen, Thomas Fuller, Andrew Rolph, Abraham Day, Ezra Day, James C. Christensen, Joseph Burton, Fred Mauritz Petersen, Nels Syndergaard, Frank Keller, with Andrew Madsen (Harbro), Jake Bohne, Bennett Monk and Peter Rasmussen as teamsters. The four last named soon returned to Mt. Pleasant, while the others remained until during the spring of 1874. At the present writing, 1939. the only two of the entire party now living are Andrew Rolph and William Olson. At the time the party left Mt. Pleasant, they were instructed by the bishop to apply to the bishops of the Wards for shelter and supplies while camping; however, at Indian Creek or Pine Dug Way they encountered a very severe blizzard, and after vainly endeavoring to travel on, were compelled to camp in the open without any shelter whatsoever, and for a time feared they would all perish. Finally, December 14th, after having traveled in a heavy, blinding snowstorm most of the way, they reached St. George safely. January 4th, four loads of sup plies were taken to them by James Larsen, Sylvester Barton, Soren Hansen Jacobsen, and Christopher Johnson. taken from History of Mt Pleasant by Hilda Madsen

Diane King

June 26, 1940 — September 3, 2024

Sandy

Diane King, 84, passed away on September 3, 2024, in Murray, UT, surrounded by her cherished children. Diane was a devoted and affectionate mother who loved her children unconditionally. She took great joy in creating and sewing, making everything from clothes to playful items for her family. A passionate musician, Diane embraced all things music and dance. She spent many years teaching guitar both in her home and at Snow College, and she frequently performed at various venues across the state. One of her greatest joys was forming the band "Reflections" with her children, akin to Sanpete's own version of the Partridge Family.

Diane was also an avid mountain biker and skier, continuing these activities into her 70s. Her knitting skills were remarkable, and she crafted beautiful sweaters, hats, and socks. Diane wanted to leave a lasting legacy, so she authored her life story, wrote and recorded beautiful songs on her own CD, and created personalized cards for many holidays and special occasions—keepsakes her loved ones will always treasure. Her life motto was “Savor the Flavor of Life,” and she lived it fully.

Born on June 26, 1940, in Ephraim, UT, Diane was the daughter of Art and Ruth King. She enjoyed working on the family farm with her daddy and had a deep love for her sisters Kathy, Judy, and Peggy. Diane was married to Travis Rosenlof in 1959 for 19 years.

Diane is survived by her children Tremaine (Tom) Fenton, Angela (Jay) Jessop, Blake (Tara) Rosenlof, and Justine (Albert) Rosenlof. She is also remembered fondly by her 12 grandchildren—Cheryl, Micki, Brock, Parker, Conner, Cade, London, Gatlin, Justin, Kendall, LoraLee, and Ryu—and 12 great-grandchildren. Diane shared many wonderful years with her loving partner Ron Schroeder, who will miss her profoundly.

Visitation will be held at Rasmussen Mortuary on Saturday, September 7, at 11:00 AM, with the service beginning at 12:00 PM. Burial will follow at the Ephraim City Cemetery.
