Jolene Wangsgard

1939 - 2025

Jolene Shupe Wangsgard, 86, of North Logan, Utah, passed away peacefully on August 11, 2025, surrounded by her family. Born in Ogden, Utah, on May 8, 1939, to Lawrence Brigham and Delores Martha Shupe (Ellis), she grew up with her sister Nona Lou, and brother Lamont.

She married Gary Ray Wangsgard on September 14, 1961, in the Salt Lake Temple, after faithfully waiting for him to return from serving in the Southern States Mission. Together, they raised five children: Jeff, Gaylene, Jana, Guy, and Jon, and lived in many places, including Tonga, where their favorite "souvenir" was a new baby girl.

A devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jolene served in many callings and completed two temple missions with her husband in Nauvoo, Illinois, and Washington, D.C. She was an accomplished seamstress and crocheted more than 80 afghans, lovingly sharing them with generations of family members.

She is survived by her husband of 63 years; her brother; five children; 24 grandchildren; and 39 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and sister.

There will be a casual gathering in memory of Jolene on Friday August 15 at 6:00pm at Pioneer Valley Lodge, 2351 N 400 E, North Logan, UT.
