Alix was one of a kind and a delight to all. I remember her with happy memories and lots of smiles. My prayers are with her family and the grief they will feel at her move on to her next adventure, but we know she will always be with them in their hearts.

Dear Friends

We've always considered the Oveson Family as great neighbors and wonderful examples of Gospel living. We shall remember Alix with fondness and respect for who she was and how faithfully she supported all of you in your greatest dreams and aspirations.

We are currently in Hawaii on Hurricane watch as we await our travel to SAMOA to serve a mini-mission to Children with Special Needs or we would be there during this time of bereavement.

Aloha and Alofa

We are currently in Hawaii on Hurricane Watch as we travel to SAMOA to serve a mini-mission to Children with Special Needs. We will be thinking of you with great fondness during your time of loss.

Aloha and Alofa to each of you.

Dick, My sincere condolences for your loss. Alix was lovely and gracious woman. I remember meeting you and Alix a couple of times in Provo, with my parents, Gerald and Jane Meiling, who you met during your overlapping years together in Boston. My mother passed away in Salt Lake City in Sep 2009, and my father passed away in the Galopagos Islands in May 2017, but was buried at home next to his dear wife in Salt Lake City. We miss our loved ones, but have hope through the Atonement of Jesus Christ that we will see them again. My parents had great love and respect for you two; I am sure Alix and Jane are chatting away in heaven! Kind regards, John Meiling

To Alice and Merrill, your mom was so cool! I was lucky enough to benefit from her hospitality while we were all in high school and college. I am so sorry that she's gone. I'm praying for your family and hope that you're all feeling at peace with the wonderful legacy she has left.

I remember her as a very warm and gentle Mission Mom. I'm grateful to have served under the Oveson's kind and uplifting leadership, if only a short time.

Dick:

So sorry to read of Alix's passing. There probably aren't many of us left here in the Cambridge area who will remember her. I'm certainly one who does.

What a wonderful life and legacy! I'm thankful to have known Sister Oveson, and consider it Divine Intervention that allowed Kim and I to visit with her and Dick just a few weeks ago. I will always be thankful for her kind, direct, and humorous counsel! :) She will be missed.

Soeur Oveson was a mission highlight. We cherish the fun memories we have of her. She saved me and Soeur Nadir from black mold in La Rochelle. We wish you peace and love Président Oveson.

Alex will be missed by many! I will miss her quick wit, wonderful comments and insights in Releif Society, and her smile! She was always quick with a smile and a kind word. I know that she has been lovingly attended to by her wonderful husband and family. I also know that she is now being lovingly attended to by those who passed through the veil before her. This knowledge helps in dealing with the sorrow that I feel, but her absence will be felt for many, many years to come. It does make me smile, however, when I think of Alex catching up with those sisters that went before her; specifically Adrienne and Iris! I love Alex and I will miss her.

So sorry for your loss, Président Oveson. Soeur Oveson was a great mission mom. She'll always have my thanks for putting washers and dryers in the missionary apartments! Hugs from Soeur Beck (1994-95).
