Connie Lee Nielson, 73, beloved wife and mother, returned to her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, December 14, 2021, following a difficult fight with cancer, in Payson, Utah.  She was born November 21, 1948, in Lynwood, California, and grew up in Southgate, California.  She married Warren Arthur Nielson on August 18, 1979 and they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple for time and all eternity on April 17, 1987.

She has always been an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings. Some of her most cherished callings were working in the Payson temple in the recorder’s office, together with her husband; family history consultant, serving the members at SRT (Supported Residential Treatment) Hillman 3 ^rd Branch as a Sunday school teacher, and ministering to them. She loved any calling where she could teach the gospel.

She is remembered for her great love for her family, children and grandchildren, and loved having them around her always. She loved serving others and has a great love for the Lord and His gospel. She has a strong testimony of the plan of salvation and the atonement of Jesus Christ.  She is loved and missed by all!

She is survived by her husband, Warren Arthur Nielson; and children: Val Medley, Kari Lindquist, Philip Johnson, Sheri Nielson, Sommer Bitner, and Amber Gailey; 33 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren; her brother, Lin David Miller; and her sisters, Judy Rogers and Valerie Massey.

She was preceded in death by her son, Nathan Johnson; and one great-grandson, Silas Dee Vickers.
