Norman Dwight Stevenson

He grew up in a lively home with four brothers and loving parents. Dwight served honorably in the U.S. Army as a surgical technician during WWII. He completed his education and earned a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Utah.

In 1948, Dwight married the love of his life, LuRue Alma Peterson. Their union spanned 53 joyful years until her passing in 2001.

Dwight spent 38 years with the Southern California Gas Company retiring as a Vice President. He was also dedicated to church service, including serving twice as a Bishop and also as a Stake President for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (he was set apart as Stake President by Bruce R. McConkie).

Dwight found joy in fishing, golf, softball, archery, cycling, and mentoring others. He was an avid member of the Ogden chapter of the Sons of the Utah Pioneers. He served service missions for 19 years at the (old) Ogden Temple and also at the Ogden LDS cannery.

Dwight is survived by his daughter, Valerie (Mark) Smith; his brother, Dee (Janet) Stevenson; 10 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, LuRue in 2001, and their children, Brent in 2022; and Gaylene in 2017.
