Glen Charles Frandsen

Glen Charles Frandsen passed away September 2, 2016 at his home in Cedar City, Utah at the age of 84 from kidney failure. He was born to Loomis Lynn Frandsen and Lillian Fidelia Stutznegger in Kimball, Idaho on October 28, 1931. He was the 6th of 12 children and grew up in humble circumstances. He joined the Army when he turned 17 and served in Okinawa during the Korean War. Following his military service he returned to Idaho where he fell in love with Glenda Fern Carter. They eloped and were married in Elko, Nevada on November 29, 1952. They were later sealed in the Mesa, Arizona Temple on June 18, 1971. They were blessed with 3 children, 15 grandchildren, and 23 great grandchildren. Family was most important to him. He loved spending time with them. Glen had many jobs in his life. Some included farming, construction, Western Electric, and the United States Post Office. He preferred being his own employer and started G&R Water Conditioning in Yuma, Arizona. He enjoyed working and helping people. Anything that was broken, he could find a way to fix it. They moved to Cedar City in September 1997. He was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served as Executive Secretary to three bishops. His favorite calling was serving as home teacher where he could do things quietly and be behind the scenes.
