Ogden Temple

OGDEN — Based on the reaction of the crowd Saturday, the 2014 renovation completion date of the Ogden Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints cannot come soon enough.

Between 155 and 165 people squeezed into a room at the Ogden FamilySearch Library to hear a temple project update from an LDS official close to the project who asked not to be identified.

And based on the “oohs" and "ahhs” from the crowd, similar to what one might hear at a fireworks display, nobody walked away disappointed from the 75-minute narrated slideshow.

OGDEN — With the Brigham City Temple now dedicated and open for temple work, many in the Ogden area are focusing on the completion of the Ogden Temple.

The announcement for the remodel of the Ogden Temple was made in February 2010, and the temple was officially closed in April 2011 for the remodel to begin. Completion is set to take approximately 2 1⁄2 years from that date, although the date can change.

Mayme Brew Mildon, of Washington Terrace, died Wednesday, April 4, 2012. Services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, April 9, at the Washington Terrace LDS Chapel, 4800 S. 300 West. A viewing will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday at Myers Ogden Mortuary, 845 Washington Blvd., and from 10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. at the church before services. Interment will be at Myers Evergreen Memorial Park, 100 Monroe Blvd. Post condolences at www.myers-mortuary.com. To read the full obituary, see the Standard-Examiner's e-edition.

OGDEN -- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints plans to relocate the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum and a historic cabin to make way for an underground parking garage to complement renovations at the Ogden Temple.

The church will pay to move the museum and the circa-1845 Miles Goodyear cabin, both in the 2100 block of Grant Avenue, to a half-acre lot owned by the city on the southeast corner of 21st Street and Lincoln Avenue, said Richard McConkie, Ogden's director of community and economic development.
