OGDEN - Maggie Merrel Hansen Fullmer, 94, former Teton Valley resident, died on Sunday, September 26, 2004 in Ogden, Utah.

She was born on April 1, 1910 at Providence, Utah to William A and Maggie May Ames Hansen. As a child, she moved with her family to Teton Valley where her father farmed. She was the oldest girl of six children and became head of the household at age twelve upon her mother's death.

On August 15, 1931, she married Sidney Ricks Fullmer in Dubois, Idaho. The marriage was later solemnized in the Logan Temple. They settled on a farm in Tetonia, Idaho. Sidney died on October 17, 1956. Merrel stayed in Tetonia Valley for a few years then moved to Logan, Utah where she became a fraternity and sorority housemother at Utah State University for several years. She also volunteered at the Sunshine Terrace Nursing Home. She was a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, and a very faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was a Primary teacher, Sunday School secretary, MIA teacher and worked in the Relief Society. From 1962-63, she served in the West Central States LDS Mission. In 1963, Merrel began working in the Logan Temple, serving in many capacities, until her release in 1993. She was a fantastic seamstress, a very caring person and spent many hours helping others. She loved to read and spend time with her family.
