Libby Wilson Obituary (1940 - 2017)

Libby Wilson Our wonderful and beloved mother, sister, aunt and friend Libby Wilson (many also knew her as Norene Howes Wilson) passed away peacefully in her own home on Tuesday, January 31st, 2017. She was surrounded by her two boys, Todd and Nate Wilson, who loved her deeply and appreciated all that she did for them. She was born on July 18th, 1940 in Ogden, Utah to parents Leonard and Nora Howes. She is survived by her sons Todd and Nate, four grandchildren, Sydney, Bella, Preston, and Davis Wilson, brothers Sterling and Nicholas Howes and her sister Susan Olsen. She was married in 1960 to Virgil R. Wilson in the Los Angeles, California Temple. Libby loved her family more than anything and loved spending time with them at every opportunity. She had a special talent for bringing people together, both family and friends, and loved to host and participate in activities and events that included everyone. She had a meaningful impact within the LDS singles program for many years and has countless friends. She was an incredibly hard worker who rarely complained, and was a strong leader and organizer. She was an expert pianist and organist who devoted many years to playing in her ward and in the temple. She was dedicated to being a good example and serving others, loved the scriptures and was a lifetime missionary. Libby lived a full life and traveled much of the world. She lived in Heidelberg, Germany for 6 years and spoke German and recently began learning Spanish. She lived in San Diego, California from 1982 to 1995 and loved the sunshine and beach. More recently, Libby resided in Draper, Utah where she enjoyed living nearby the temple and doing family history work. We believe Libby is joyfully reunited with her father and mother, her two brothers Douglas and Roger, and her two beloved sons, Craig and Kurt, and other family who passed previously. She will be greatly missed and more than anything we are proud of who she was and the incredible life she lived.
