LIFE SKETCH OF LAURA SOPHIA SORENSEN JENSEN
Written by Gwendolyn Jensen Butler

Laura Sophia Sorensen was born 22 October 1885, in Melville, Utah, (near Logan). The third child in a family of twelve children to Hans Sorensen and Christiane Sophie Gregersen, who had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with their families and left their native Denmark as young people to come to Utah. At her death, the first of January, 1981 two of this family survives Laura; a brother, Melvin Sorensen of Logan, Utah and a sister, Amanda Hilliard of Smithfield, Utah.

In a life of 95 active years, there are many years unknown to those who have known her for as many as fifty or sixty years. At an age when many people retire, she still had thirty years of industrious life ahead of her. One phrase describes her well: “She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.” Proverbs 31:27 the philosophy which this proverb suggests runs like a thread throughout her life. She enjoyed living and doing the work necessary to that life.

For a short time, Laura was a young girl, living in a log house with whitewashed log walls and bare wooden floors scrubbed weekly; a young girl running across the plank, over the canal to Uncle Lars’(Sorensen) home to play with cousins; running over to Jensen’s, the nearest neighbor, to get some gooseberries or currants to eat; running down the ditch that carried water from a large spring, to be baptized when eight years old, then walking home in her wet clothes, (5 November 1893).

A young girl hauling wood, coal, and water, and later hauling out water, and ashes, blacking and shining the wood stove, getting almost as much black on herself as on the stove, milking two or three cows before and after school, and washing clothes on a wash-board with homemade soap. A young girl winning the battle against diphtheria (Summer 1893), which took the lives of her sister Emma and little brother Willie, eating “lumpy dick” a breakfast “mush” made or cooking flour in milk; being glad when whole wheat was available instead; wearing stiff scratchy clothing made from linsey, a mixture of wool and cotton.

All too soon she was a young woman, leaving school at about sixteen to stay and help her mother at home, to return at 18 to finish, not just eight grade, which was considered a good education at that time, but going on to Brigham College in Logan for four years, to graduated (28 May 1909) and earn a teaching certificate. A young woman working for her board and room so she could finish eighth grade, working in a boarding house one summer, getting up at 5:30 a.m. to fix breakfast, cleaning rooms and working until 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. for $3.50 per week: earning 75 cents a day topping beets: teaching grades one through four, for a salary of $45 a month. A young woman dancing at dances with a waltz to start, one at the intermission, and one to close. The rest were schottische, square dance, and polkas.

A young woman, Joe Jensen had been courting for two years (or all their lives for that matter). He waited a year for her to teach school, then on 15 June 1910, Laura Sophia Sorensen and Joseph Edward Jensen were married for time and eternity in the Logan Temple.

Now a young wife, sharing with her husband the joy when their home was blessed with children; first six boys, Joseph Doyle 19 June 1911, Lloyd Edward 10 April 1913, Glen Carrol 7 April 1915, Elmer Ray 24 December 1917, Leo Merrill 14 March 1920, and Vaughn Lewis 3 September 1922; then three girls, LaVir 24 April 1925, May 10 April 1928, and Marjorie 19 December 1931, were born to them. Sharing the sorrow when Glen Carrol suffering from lung congestion died two days after birth, and May was stillborn.

A young wife, rearing, teaching, and enjoying the remaining five sons and two daughters; watching them grow, develop, and establish homes and families of their own, and live to survive their parents, giving them posterity at the time of her death of 36 grandchildren, 69 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.

A young mother leaving Logan Utah, area of her birth, leaving comparative comfort. Struggling to pioneer a newer settlement in Lost River, Idaho in 1914 living in a poorly built log houses, sometimes only a dirt roof, sometimes walls improved with a pressed paper wall lining called “beaver board”, moving into the home that Joe built in 1918, being happy to get a “real” house, and enjoying that home for more than 60 years.

A farm wife, raising baby chicks in a small box with a lantern, washing the cream separator which took more time than washing dishes, selling the cream to the store which was better than making butter, teaching her children to eat bread when they ate fruit, because fruit was hard to come by, and feeding grandchildren a “piece” (usually a slice of bread and butter) before they left her home. Her bread drawer never seemed to be empty.

A woman helping others, serving children as a Stake Primary Counselor (29 April 1923 and again in 1930 for several years) and Primary President (27 April 1924-1927) and as a 4-H leader, serving sisters as a Ward Relief Society President (20 April 1941 for three and one-half years) and a Stake Relief Society Counselor, serving young people in Mutual, caring for her aged mother, and delivering the infant grand-daughter that would bear her name.

Always, a woman growing, creating beauty in necessity, sewing rags to make a home-made carpet to cover bare floors in her first home, planting flowers to border the vegetable garden which would feed her family, sharing starts of these flowers to enrich other gardens, piecing star quilts with memories of the dresses she and her daughters wore, making plump pillows with the feathers and down from the geese that waddled outside her yard, and preserving the sunshine of summer fruits and vegetables for winter meals.

Laura Jensen left a heritage of provident living, persistence, determination, industry, and endurance; with a lifetime zest for learning and doing. She won the fight with breast cancer 19 years ago, facing the ordeal just three months after losing her husband and life-long companion, Joseph Edward Jensen on 5 December 1961. Taking her first airplane flight just two weeks before her 92 birthday, she refused the offer of a wheelchair to take her between terminals with a “No thanks that would make me look old.”

As she returned to finish her education in her youth, so she continued to study and learn from recorded books when her eyesight grew dim. In her 95th year she was still carrying many of her lifelong activities. Rags were still being made into useful and decorative rugs. In July when someone gave her more cherries than she could eat, she bottled the rest for winter. In august while visiting and shelling peas, she was the fasted pea sheller, even faster than granddaughters with young nimble fingers. She wanted to be in her own home taking care of herself on her 95th birthday, 22 October 1980. She made it. And on that day she still wanted to do one more bucketful of apples before her harvesting was finished. At the time she had her stroke four weeks ago, she was cutting quilt blocks.

She prepared herself for death by preparing for life. When she wasn’t strong enough last spring to work in her garden, she exercised, and last fall, by digging sitting on a chair, she prepared a part of her garden for spring planting. We can all profit buy an observation she made in her life story, “When I hear people complaining now,” she said, “if they would try half as hard as we did, they would get along fine.

I hope that each of us can try half as hard, that we can follow this example of victory and never quitting until there is no possibility for us to do otherwise. I do this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

My Life In A Nutshell

I was born in Port Angeles, Clallam County, Washington, September 22, 1929 _ At the beginning of the “Great Depression.”
My family moved to Port Angeles just before I was born _my Grandfather and Grandmother Sorensen were there on a mission for the Church.(L.D.S-Mormon) and my parents decided/ask to move there to help them and the branch of church.
I am from a family of 12 children _ the first 8 were born in Eastern Idaho _ Idaho Falls-Pocatello area. My sister LeOra and I were born in Port Angeles, Wash., the last two _ one, Val Dean, in Providence, and the other, DeOnne, the last, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Utah. There were 4 boys & 8 girls-I was number 9 in the ‘line up.’ My father sold Maytag Washers there, mostly.
My father sold insurance, for the most part,--and consequently, gone from home a good deal of the time. My mother managed the brood and home, and at times a small farm, as best she could; plus a job, at times. (S.L.)
She worked at the post office to help make ends meet, she also sewed for people, made chenille flowers, crocheted bedspreads and tablecloths, etc. Those were the depression years and we never had much, but always seemed to manage somehow. (Salt Lake)
My father brought home a variety of things that he took in as his share of the insurance policies he sold-both, to help the people to b e able to afford the policy and to help him make the sale. He was the top salesman or among the top most of the time. He took in anything he figured we could use or he could sell or trade. Dad also dealt in real estate on the side. We never knew what he would bring home…be it money, honey, cars, rugs, etc.-or come home ready to move his family to “Greener Pastures”. We moved many times. We covered a good share of Idaho and Utah looking for those “Greener Pastures”.
With Dad gone so much it placed a lot of responsibility on “mama’s “ shoulders; and with a brood of 12 energetic, some contrary, some self-willed children who would get out of hand at times; Life was certainly not dull at our home; for instance, LeOra and I decided to run away once, in the middle of the night. We had planned it that way-mother woke up-found us gone, woke my brother (Carlyle) up to drive the car, as she never learned to drive; drove to town and found us walking up the street; waiting for the bus which hadn’t started running yet at that early hour, so it was a short “run-a-way” trip. We had planned to go to our older sister’s apartment in Salt Lake(from the town of Murray, Utah.)
We were left with day-time baby sitters quite a bit while dad was gone selling insurance-when mother worked.
Then dad bought a small farm-so the younger boys-and us(we) girls too, would have something to do besides get into mischief, and we could raise a garden to help feed us. But I believe it was more work to get us to work (one wonders if it was all worth it.)
I spent my grade school years in Vineyard , and a little north & west of Provo), Junior high at Butlerville & Orem, and back again to Salt Lake (8th&9th). Then we moved to Southern Utah and I graduated from high school in St., George, Utah, at the close of World War II, in 1947. That fall I married my husband, Don Fluckiger, whom I had met some months earlier when he was home on leave and was now home from the army (discharged. His sister, Louise, was a good friend of mine and had introduced us. We lived in the small town of Leeds and there were only a half dozen or so of us girls who went around together. Don had come home the spring I graduated. We dated that summer and married that fall in the St. George temple-Sept. 26th 1947.
We had two children born to us while living in St. George, Utah-Kim, born July 31, 1948, a son, and Ward, another son, born Aug 17, 1949.
We then moved to Salt Lake City, UT, where Don found employment at a cabinet shop doing carpentry work, as that is what he had trained for in the Dixie College on his G I benefit program.
We had a daughter here-Alise, born Aug. 24, 1950, at the LDS Hospital, SLC, UT. When Alise was 7 or 8 months old, we moved to Letha, ID, in the spring of 1951. Don’s parents had moved there the year before, from Leeds, and had written to us that there seemed to be plenty of employment around the area-and since Don didn’t take to the “city life” very well, we moved “sight unseen”. Don’s father said he could work on their house and help on the farm till he found work_ which we did. We weren’t in Letha long, however before Don had a job working for the Boise-Payette Lumber Company(sawmill) at Emmett, Idaho-where he has been employed since 1951 (to 1987) (Boise Cascade now).
In Emmett/Letha, we had three more children born to us-Jay, a son, born March 29, 1952; Kitty Ann, a girl, born Sept. 22, 1953(born on my birthday), and Todd, a son, born October 19, 1959.
Over the years I have held many church positions-in the Primary, and Relief Society for the most part-also worked in the Church Library for several years-worked some in MIA and Sunday School also-at present I am the Homemaking/Home Management Counselor in the Emmett First Ward Relief Society.(Fall 1987).
As a family we have sort of grown up together as I was only 18 yrs old when we married and Don barely under 21.[insert: the story is told that dad had to get permission from his parents to get married, but mom did not. Utah law required a man under the age of 21 had to get parental permission & a young lady had to be 18 to get married without parental permission] Besides Church and school activities and sports; (all our boys played on school teams in the sports area-basketball & track, some baseball & football. We also spent a lot of our summers camping & fishing and going to Family reunions. And of course all the while we had to have horses. The only time Don was without a horse since early childhood, was the time he was in the service during World War II. Don has been an avid hunter and fishing fan-a hobby that has taken us to the mountains a good share of the summer and fall each year, on weekends and vacations, with family reunions sandwiched in here and there, besides being in the Scouting program.
* My hobbies have been art and just plain learning. My art abilities have been used much in the Church; road shows, Gold and Green balls, etc; some community work, and for a few friends. [Mom and Kitty both did backdrops for Cowboy Poetry events at a different time in each of their lives] [mom’s art talent began early in life, as she tells of drawing paper dolls(with clothes to dress the dolls) for many of the girls at school, when they had to stay in the classroom on rainy, cold days.] [she also did this on several occasions for her two daughters on request-best paper dolls we had!] I’ve sold very little-and then at a minimal price to cover materials used. I learned to lead singing just as a whim, although I actually know very little about music-but appreciate and love to listen to most kinds of music. I have sung in the ward choir from time to time and enjoyed it. Life is so full of opportunities just waiting to be taken advantage of-in all fields of interest, in the church and community. “Life is a fulfilling” as has been stated, but as Pres. Ezra T. Benson has said. “Position, Possession & Prestige-should never be more important than your family.” ( given at Stake Parents’ Fireside by direct wire)Feb 22, 1987.
A thought I hope to keep in mind although all our 6 children have now married and have children of their own…
March 1988 - at present we have 27 grand children
1990--30 grandchildren
2000-35 grand children/ 15 great grandchildren.
[2008 -- at Wanda's death, 17th September, she had 38 grandchildren
She served her family in any capacity she was able; had a smile and wit with anyone who cared enough to sit and visit, and loved her family.]
