Lee Glen Folkman

Lee Glen Folkman passed away January 19, 2021. Lee was born July 16, 1950 in Ogden, Utah to

Glen Stewart Folkman and Bernice Adams Whitesides. He grew up in Warren and graduated

from Weber High School in 1968. He later attended Weber State College. Lee married LaRena

Hansen on August 14, 1970 and they were sealed in the Logan Temple on August 5, 1971. They

recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.

Lee was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was a High

Priest and served in various callings throughout his life. He was a kind, gentle man who bore

his testimony through his actions.

He worked for Weber Basin Water Conservancy District for 43 years, retiring in 2013. He was

a loyal employee and loved his job and the many friends that he made. Some of his favorite

activities included firearms, reloading, and target shooting. He was an avid reader and was a

jack of all trades that we all relied upon. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, and

waterskiing.

He looked forward to Friday night dates with his wife, that they rarely missed. He was a

devoted husband, father and grandpa. He would drop anything to help any of his family

members. The grandchildren knew he would be there to support them in any of their activities,

whether it was a ball game or a recital, he was always there. He was always up for an

adventure while traveling and creating memories with his family.

Lee is survived by his wife LaRena; children Justin Folkman (Lynette), Brett Folkman (Kim),

Neil Folkman (Sunshine), Sally Wade (Bryce) and Casey Folkman (Katelynn); 16 grandchildren

and 1 great-grandchild. He is survived by his siblings Norma Jean Maw, Ann Meibos and Kay

Heslop (Alan). He was preceded in death by his parents; grandbaby Tucker; brother Jon Hal

Folkman, sister Carol Greer and brothers-in-law John Maw and Gary Meibos.

A special thanks to the staff at McKay Dee Hospital.
