Oleen Esplin Obituary (1912 - 2005)

Oleen Esplin, 92, died Tuesday, February 8, 2005 at the Crestwood Care Center. She was born April 6, 1912 in Orderville, Utah, the daughter of Alma Cox Esplin and Cleo Hannah Luke Esplin. She was preceded in death by her parents and younger siblings, Luella Barlow, Alma Lamar Esplin and Wendell Luke Esplin. Oleen resided in Orderville 13 years, Logan 42 years, North Ogden 34 years, and in Ogden at the Gardens and Crestwood Care Centers the remainder of her life. She was a faithful life long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Oleen filled many callings in Primary, Sunday School, Young Women's, and Relief Society. Of special interest was her calling as secretary to the High Priest Group in the "old days". She especially loved the children and youth of the church and community. Oleen was educated in Orderville and Logan graduating from Utah State University with a B.S. degree in business. She was employed by Cache County Extension Service as a stenographer, Columbia Sheep Breeders Assoc. as executive secretary, and Weber State University as a secretary in the graduation office. Oleen was affectionately known as "Auntie" by family, neighbors and friends. She devoted her life loving and caring for her siblings, and three generations of nieces and nephews. Her home was open to "all" and provided a great haven of love, nurturing, teaching, understanding, food, shelter and fun. She is "our significant other". Special thanks to the relatives, friends, and health care professionals who added to the quality of her life over the past four years. We are especially appreciative of the care given at the Gardens, Wasatch, Crestwood, and by IHC Hospice. Oleen is our "Angel Auntie".
