Obituary

Patricia Lee Nelson Moon passed away peacefully early Sunday morning, January 15, 2023 in Orem, surrounded by loving family.

Pat was the sweetest of spirits. She devoted her life to her family she cherished beyond measure. Until her last day, she always put the needs of others first. Everyone loved Pat because they strongly felt she dearly loved them unconditionally. She was truly without guile, and she leaves behind a powerful legacy of love.

She had a life-long passion for genealogy that she spoke about excitedly up to her last days.

Pat and Clive have been faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served others in many ways over the years, which has framed her and her family’s lives. They served missions in Dallas and Nauvoo.

Pat was born in Oklahoma on March 16, 1936, and grew up in Oklahoma and Texas with her loving parents, Virgil Lee and Ellie Belle Nelson. They and her grandson Stewart Nelson Dahl, predeceased her.

She married Clive Dee Moon in 1957 in the Salt Lake Temple and graduated from BYU in 1958. They have had an exemplary marriage and tender romance over their 65 years of marriage.

The family expresses their appreciation for the many kind acts of service and tender care of friends, ward members, and hospice in the last few months.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Clive, and her children and spouses Chyleen (Dee) Lauritzen, Reid (Melanie), Mark (Elaine), Cynthia (Scott) Dahl, Keith (Keli), and Julie (Merrill) Smith, as well as 29 wonderful grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren of whom she was immensely proud. She is also survived by her sister Donna (Larry) Chadwick.

A viewing for friends and family will be held on Friday, January 20, 2023, from 6-8 pm at Sundberg-Olpin Mortuary, 495 South State Street, Orem. Funeral services will be Saturday, January 21, 2023, at 11:00 am at the LDS Chapel located at 450 South 100 West, Orem, with a viewing held that morning at the church from 9:30-10:30 am prior to the services.  Interment will be in the Lindon City Cemetery.
