the women she went to high school with. She also enjoyed having lunch with the retired Fish and Game guys. No matter how rough the going got for her physically, she was always doing something. There wasn't a time that she wasn't fixing a roof, walking dogs, shoveling snow before anyone could help her, painting a deck, shed or her home. She always had the patience to include her grandsons in these activities and thrilled in the opportunity of teaching them the value of hard work and helping others. Sometimes with a little tough love to go with it. Lawella was involved with many clubs and organizations in the community, many times as the secretary/treasurer. Some of the more notable ones were the Rod and Gun Club, Butch Cassidy Outlaw Trail Ride (Horses), Uintah County Historical Society, and the Uintah Basin Chapter of the Utah State Archaeology Society. She is survived by her children Robert W. (Madeleine) Nielson, Susan K. (Curtis) Dickson, son-in-law Jeff Tingey, Grandchildren, Buck aka Robert M. (Misty) Nielson, Brett G. Nielson, Levi M. (Jessie) Nielson, Travis A. (Jennie) Karren, Michael (Jared) Dickson, Sharra (Bob) Gray, Jennifer (Steve) Stoker, Mikelle (Mark) Jackson, Samantha (Justin) Moore. Her sisters Christella Parrish, Nila Kidd, and Lucretia Greenhalgh. Brothers James Evans, Ferrington (Dorothy) Evans and Asa (Carol) Evans. 14 great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Also special friends Dewey and Helen Paulson. And last but not least her dog Sadie. Lawella is proceeded in death by her husband Bob James Nielson, son Mark A. Karren, daughter Leah Jan Tingey, grandson Nyals Bodine, granddaughter Amanda Bodine and great granddaughter Morgan Gray. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Happy hunting mom.
