LuDean Pehrson

LuDean Pehrson, age 96, formerly of Logan, Utah, passed into eternity on the morning of August 19, 2026, from natural causes. She was the mother of four of which only two survive her.

She was an only child born to Martin Elmer Naef and Leah Partington in March of 1930. She was raised in Logan Utah and at the age of 19 married Edwin Pehrson in the Logan Temple on September 1, 1950. They built a home next door to the home LuDean grew up in and in which Elmer and Leah still resided. LuDean worked as a telephone operator most of her life, while raising the couple's three children. LuDean was loved by everyone that was blessed to know her and was affectionately called "Lou" by Ed and the extended family and close friends. She nurtured her children well and always supported them in their endeavors. She was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all her life and worked tirelessly to keep her home as a sanctuary for her family. She was very proud of her ancestral history and was a long-time participating member of The Daughters of the Utah Pioneers organization. LuDean never complained about anything and was never known to utter an unkind word or criticism about anyone.

LuDean loved the simple beauty of life, and especially flowers. She loved to garden and did a lot of home canning each year. Chokecherries (picked wild) and plumbs and raspberries (home grown) she preserved (using her mom's recipe) were among the family favorites. LuDean was readily accepted into the Pehrson family and was considered a sister to her husband's siblings and a daughter to her husband's parents. She outlived them all. Her final years were lived in Roosevelt, Utah as a resident of a nursing home following a debilitating stroke in 2020. Ed passed shortly thereafter in early 2021. LuDean moved from Logan to Roosevelt to be near remaining family.

LuDean is survived by two sons, Steve (Kami) and Scott (Mamiko); seven grandchildren, and four great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by a son, Sidney, and a daughter, Susan.

There will be a graveside service on Friday, August 28, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the Logan City Cemetery. Services under direction of the Hullinger Mortuary. www.hullingermortuary.com
