DOWNEY – Glade Mason Nielsen, 78, passed away on January 3, 2000 at her son’s home in McKinney, Texas after a long illness.

She was born June 26, 1921 in Willard, Utah to Mirl and Veda Barker Mason. Glade grew up in Howell, Utah, near Tremonton. While attending high school in Tremonton she met Hal Lamb Nielsen in 1938.

They were later married on July 29, 1941 in the Logan LDS Temple, and spent 57 ½ years together.

Glade and Hal moved to Downey, Idaho in 1949, where she worked as a secretary at J. D. Morgan Implement Co. When Hal became wholesale distributor for Standard Oil Co., she worked as his secretary and accountant from 1951 until their retirement.

She was an active member of the LDS Church, and served as ward MIA president, stake activity counselor, ward Relief Society president and second counselor in the stake Relief Society, as well as holding various other church callings. Glade and Hal also served as officiators at the Logan LDS Temple for five years, which they dearly loved.
