LoVell Bjorkman Medrano, 79, of Logan, Utah, passed away of natural causes April 8, 2007, at the home of her son, Chuck Medrano, in Providence, Utah.
She was born Jan. 6, 1928, in Los Angeles, Calif., to Charles Peter and Mary Shaw Bjorkman. Her family returned to Logan shortly after her birth where her brother Del Rey was born four years later. Her father was killed in a car/train accident in 1934. She and her brother were raised by their mother on the island just south of Central Park. She graduated from Logan High School in 1945. She married George Medrano on June 22, 1948. They moved to southern California where their four children were born.
In 1967, LoVell returned to Logan with her four children. They returned to the house her father had built where she had been raised in the Logan 13th Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She enjoyed being back around many of the friends from her youth, gardening the ground her parents had gardened, and watching her children mature in Cache Valley. LoVell loved her family and friends, her flowers and pets, and her yard and views of the mountains.
LoVell is survived by her children, Skip (Janet) Medrano of Taylorsville, Utah, Steven (Francine) Medrano of Indio, Calif., Chuck Medrano of Providence, Mary James of Nibley, Utah; 14 grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her mother; father; and brother, Del Rey Bjorkman.
The family wishes to express their deeply felt thanks to the home health professionals for their care and support.
Funeral services will be held at noon on Friday, April 13, Allen-Hall Mortuary 34 E. Center St., Logan, Utah. A viewing will precede the funeral from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Interment will be in the Logan City Cemetery.
