Donald Iverson

At the end of a beautiful snowstorm, on Thursday, January 11, 2007, at the age of 87, Donald R. Iverson left the warmth of his loving family to join his mother and father, Lura Hanson and Iver Iverson. Don was born November 22, 1919, in Ephraim, Utah, in the home built by his grandfather and where Dons father was born. Like other youth at that time, Don finished the education offered in that small town then traveled to Salt Lake City. The year was 1941 and his interests led him to enlist into the Air Force, where he spent the rest of the war years in Europe. He was an active member of the LDS church. It was at one of the Mutual dances in Salt Lake where he met the girl who was to become his eternal companion, Wanabelle Wannie Hastings. He asked me how I was going to get home. ?I have two perfectly good legs,? I said. ?I have a perfectly good car, and will take you home.? That led to there marriage on September 5, 1947, in the Salt Lake Temple. They have been married almost sixty years and have 5 children, 16 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren. The hugs and kisses of those grandchildren brought him so much joy. He was never happier than when his family was around him. Don is survived by his wife, Wannie, and his children, Alan, Korea.
