1932 – 2014
Leonard W. Severson passed away on September 1, 2014 in Ogden, Utah of natural causes. He was born on June 4, 1932, in Lewisville, Idaho. His parents were Glen and Helen Severson. He was raised in Tremonton, Utah where he graduated from Bear River High School.

While serving in the Navy Leonard and his family lived in a variety of locations: Utah, Florida, Hawaii, California, Texas, and Tennessee. Leonard served in the Navy as a CPO for over 26 years and retired from the Navy in 1978. As a civilian he worked in the Telecommunications Industry until his retirement in 2000.

He enjoyed making fudge, rolls, jams and jellies, as well as, homemade bread which he eagerly shared with others. He also loved to play chess and for two years of playing games of chess with his son, he always came out the winner.
Leonard was preceded in death by his parents and his loving wife of 59 years, Narah Anna, and two children, Lynn and Linda.
