Today I want to spotlight Galen Wilson. We are so grateful to have him working at the funeral home. He is a blessing in every way. When we took care of his mother several years ago I had an impression that he was who I needed from Soda springs to help in this special business and it’s been great for us and the community ever since. I’m forever grateful for him. This is a quick bio from Galen.
Galen Wilson was born and raised in Soda Springs. He attended Soda Springs High School graduating in 1973. Galen was active in sports and enjoyed participating in student government. Galen began working at Monsanto in 1974 after a year of college at BYU. Galen was able to work in many positions and redesign teams during his 42 1/2 year career retiring in December 2016. Galen met his eternal companion, Joy Ellen Godfrey and was married in the Logan Temple in June 1976. They have lived in Soda Springs since then. Galen has enjoyed his opportunity to help Joy's father and brother on their farm, driving trucks.and taking Joy on some of the long hauls. They have 4 beautiful daughters that have given them 15 grandchildren with three granddaughters recently married. Galen is actively participating in the Caribou Historical Society, the Caribou Medical Center Foundation, the Caribou Development Foundation and is active in church. He has enjoyed following his grandchildren as they have participated in sports and dance. Galen enjoys being outside, especially camping and helping his son-in-law with his Cross Country activities. It has given him the opportunity to be involved with a lot of great kids. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to work at a mortuary helping members of our community. It has been a wonderful experience and I have enjoyed helping wherever possible.
