Kathleen Grant Bergsjo
Kathleen Grant Bergsjo, 85, passed away Thursday, May
4, 2006 at her home in Logan.
She was born on May 17, 1920 in Hyde Park, Utah to
George Molen Grant and Caroline Humpherys. She was the
second of their three children.
Kathleen attended school in Hyde Park and graduated
from North Cache High in 1938. After graduation, she
worked in a department store and a defense depot in
southern California. She later returned to Logan and
worked as a seamstress for Mode O’Day.
Kitty met the love of her life, Oliver Anton Bergsjo,
at a dance at the Dansante in Logan. They were married
on September 7, 1945 in the Salt Lake Temple. They
were the proud parents of three children: Janice,
Grant, and Carol Ann. They shared 58 wonderful years
together as a family.
She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints and loved her many callings in
Junior Sunday School, Primary, and Relief Society in
the Logan 11th Ward. Kitty was also a member of the
American Legion Auxiliary, PTA, and Daughters of the
Utah Pioneers. She also served as an election judge
and volunteered at Beehive Clothing Distribution
Center in Logan.
Mom’s hobbies were her husband, Ollie, her children,
grandchildren, great-grandchildren, her home and yard.
She had many trials in life, including two open heart
surgeries, and never being able to ride a bike or
crochet even a simple chain stitch. She was an avid
reader and enjoyed doing embroidery.
Kathleen is survived by her loving children, Janice
(James) Maples, Grant (Linda) Bergsjo, and Carol
(Marc) Raleigh; 11 grandchildren, 12
great-grandchildren, and her sister, Martha Chambers.
She was preceded in death by her parents and
step-mother, Julia, her husband, Ollie, and her older
brother Lothair.
The family would like to acknowledge and thank Dr.

loving and tender care.
