Dorothy Lenore Hazelgren Nolte

Dorothy Lenore Hazelgren Nolte July 3, 1927—July 21, 2016 Dorothy Lenore Hazelgren Nolte, 89, passed away at Oak Ridge Assisted Living on July 21, 2016, in Centerville, Utah. She was born July 3, 1927, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Franklin D. Farrington and Lenore Kimball. She married Henry Hazelgren August 5, 1950, who passed away in 1974. Dorothy’s second husband, Rudy, started off, first, as family friends in her LDS Ward, then they became in-laws through her daughter and his son, and finally, upon becoming a widower, Rudy Nolte became her husband after a little grandchild asked, ‘Grandpa, why don’t you marry grandma?’ Apparently they thought that was a good suggestion and they married on April 23, 1994. Marriages to both Henry and Rudy were solemnized in LDS Temples. Life with Henry included managing their dairy farm in Mountain Home and Ioka, UT, but price wars, misfortune and the physical health of her husband forced them to move to Salt Lake City to be near higher levels of medical care. To help make ends meet she cleaned homes and worked at Auerbachs while Henry languished in bad health. After Henry’s death she worked at Purolator until finally marrying Rudy, her charming and happy husband who was born in Poland and reared in Germany. Rudy did everything for her and they became wonderful travelling companions going on many foreign tours both alone and with Rudy’s employment. Rudy preceded her in death in 2009. Dorothy is survived by children: Sharon Saldivar (Sam), Lenore Benson (Jay), Marlene Hutchings (Mike); step-son Darryl Hazelgren (Midge). Her daughter, Lisa Ann Hazelgren, preceded her in death. From these came many grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Her surviving siblings include: Bonnie Newman, John (Shirley) Farrington, sister-in-law Joyce Farrington (Glenn) and Kenneth Farrington (Judy). Preceding her in death were her parents, and siblings: Cal, Donna, Marjorie, Bud, Lola and Glenn. A viewing will be held Tuesday, July 26th, at the Hillcrest 5th Ward meetinghouse at 915 E. 9045 S. in Sandy, UT, between the hours of 6 and 8 PM. Graveside services will be held Wednesday, July 27th at 11:00 AM at Lake Hills Memorial Park, 10055 South State Street, Sandy, UT. An extra viewing has been arranged on Sunday, July 24th for special family members who will be unable to attend the Tuesday viewing and graveside services.
