OBITUARY: Verden 'N' Mortensen, 93, was born on August 2, 1918 on the family ranch in Sanford, Colorado where he grew up. Verden married Doris Dunn in Sanford, Colo. on March 21, 1937, then four days later were sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple on March 25, 1937. They began their married life on the ranch north of Sanford. After a few years Verden went to road construction in N.M. to help support the farm and family. After 23 years of road construction he returned to the work he loved most, the ranch, to raise sheep and cattle. He continued ranching to the age of 79 when he sold the ranch and retired to watch innumerable basketball, football and baseball games and enjoy life at home with his family. Verden loved for his family to come see him. As anyone opened the door to enter the home he always greeted them with a hearty "come in the house, did you bring something to eat?" That greeting will be greatly missed by all. Verden passed away on his 93rd birthday August 2nd 2011.
