Carl Foy Ogden
July 6, 1918 — February 6, 2011
Carl Foy Ogden, 92, Richfield, passed away peacefully February 6, 2011, in Salt Lake City. He was born July 6, 1918, in Richfield to Leonard and Almina Chidester Ogden. He married Jean Marie Sperry, January 10, 1944, in the Manti Temple. She preceded him in death, October 11, 1998.
Foy was an active member of the LDS Church, serving as a counselor in bishoprics, member of a high council, MIA and Sunday School superintendent, teacher, counselor in high priest group, faithful home teacher, and Scout leader, receiving Scouting’s silver beaver award. He served as a stake missionary and served missions with Marie at the Bishop’s Storehouse and at Cove Fort. He loved attending the temple.
At his garage he was known as an honest mechanic who could make needed parts and helped those in need. He also worked for Utah Power and Light. He was an excellent gardener who loved to share his produce. He liked to spend time with his family and many friends and enjoyed playing the harmonica in a old timers musical group. He had a kind sense of humor and an ability to see the good in others. He was a member of the Ground Observer Corp, a volunteer for the city park information booth, and a vice president at the Senior Citizens Center.
Foy is survived by daughters: Carla Ogden, Salt Lake City; Kathleen (Jim) Hepner, Lawton, Oklahoma; and Sandy (Morris) Morgan, Burlington, Kentucky; 11 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; brother, Verl (Esther) Ogden and sister Grace LeBaron. Preceded in death by parents, wife, and brother, Ray Ogden.
We express thanks to the neighbors who helped care for his garden the last two summers, other neighbors who have helped over the past few years, and employees of Hillside Rehabilitation Center and Hearts for Hospice.
