2020 of kidney failure.

She was born Sep-

Matilda Peterson.

In nurses training, she

met missionaries of the

Church of Jesus Christ of

Daniel William Mathis in

Minot, ND on December

30, 1960. Two years later

they were sealed in the

Logan, Utah Temple. She

worked actively as a Re-

years.

A prolific poet, she has

wide variety of subjects.

Her biggest achievement

was a 500 page Peterson

distributed this winter.

She loved to create beauti-

ful things.

Carollyn was a true

mother and friend to all!

She and Dan have been

blessed with five children,

many grandchildren and

great-grandchildren. After

60 years together they

joked about trying for a

double funeral, and were

only apart 21 days. They

will continue to bless and

lead their family through

eternity.
