Lou Ann Osborne

Lou Ann Hafen Osborne, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away June 20, 2019 at her home surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with cancer.

She was born the third of four children on August 2, 1937 in Mt. Pleasant Utah to Mack and Merdith Hafen. She graduated from North Sanpete High School with honors. On December 9, 1955 she married Leo Osborne in the Manti Temple.

She raised her four children Lyle, Laura Lee, Lance and Lorette in Nephi Utah.

Lou Ann was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served faithfully her whole life in many callings, including President of the Young Women in her ward, Ward Relief Society President, Stake Relief Society President, Visiting Teacher, Chorister, and Choir Director. She developed many friendships while serving in these callings and she loved helping others and sharing her testimony through music. She also developed life-long friendships with those she worked with for 23 years as a school lunch lady.

Lou Ann was very organized, and kept everything around her immaculate. She honestly believed that "Cleanliness was next to Godliness."

She loved music. Starting at a very young age she sang with her sisters and she continued throughout her life performing with her beautiful soprano voice in many programs and funerals. Many lives have been touched by her wonderful talent.

Lou Ann loved her family. She could always be seen at every function any of her children were involved in. Then she enjoyed even more supporting her grandchildren in everything they did. Every one of her grandchildren loved their "Grandma Honey."

She is survived by her husband Leo of 58 years, her four children, Lyle, (Jodie) Osborne, Laura Lee (Kevin) Ockey, Lance (Tausha) Osborne and Lorette Nielsen, all of Nephi, two sisters, Shana Stevens of Ohio and Marcia Dansie of California, one brother, Ed Hafen of Idaho, 10 grandchildren and five great grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held Friday, June 28, 2019 at 11:00 am at the Nephi 7th Ward Chapel (222 S 100 E, Nephi, Utah) with a viewing 1 hour prior. Friends and family may call from 6:00-8:00 pm on Thursday, June 27, 2019 at the Anderson Funeral Home, 94 W 300 N, Nephi, Utah.

The family wishes to express their gratitude to all of you for your many acts of kindness and for your attendance at the service.
