Lois Sandberg

Lois Naylor Sandberg, our loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and sister, peacefully passed away on March 15th, 2021 in Tooele, Utah. She was born on October 12th, 1930 in Grantsville, Utah to Harvey L. Naylor and Lucy Judd Naylor. Her father, Harvey, worked for the Western Pacific Railroad so they lived in various locations. Her early childhood days were spent in Oakland, California and while living there she wandered off and became lost. She eventually found her way to a police station where her mother came to pick her up. She loved the movies and reading about movie stars. She even worked as an usherette in a theater. Later she attended Tech High in Oakland where it was discovered, years later, that she and Clint Eastwood (future movie star) wandered the same hallways. Before graduating, her family moved to Utah where she found herself helping her parents remodel a café in Knolls. She really enjoyed her time there and loved the desert sunsets. However, she needed to finish high school and decided to live with her Aunt Annie Williams in Grantsville where she graduated. After graduating from high school, she attended BYU for a couple of years, but quit to move back to Knolls to help her parents with the café. Not long afterwards her parents sold the café and moved to Grantsville. Lois then found work as a telephone switchboard operator in Salt Lake City, Utah and later in Tooele, Utah. It was during this time that she met and dated Don Edward Sandberg. Eventually they married and made their home in Grantsville. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. She and Don Ed had 3 boys and 2 girls that really kept them busy. She has always been active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her calling in her ward(s) was serving as the organist/pianist. She was avidly involved in family history, scrapbooking, saving newspaper articles, collecting and organizing Grantsville photographs, and accumulating Grantsville High School yearbooks. Her sense of humor will really be missed. She is survived by her 5 children; Mark (Lorrie), Larry (Karen), Joni Olsen (Tom), Kendall (Annette), Dawn Sanchez (Jon), Brothers; Donald (Eileen) and Larry (Mary Lee). She has 21 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by parents Harvey and Lucy Naylor and her husband, Don Ed Sandberg. Funeral service is Friday, March 19th, 2021, 11:00 AM at the LDS chapel located at 550 E. Durfee Street in Grantsville, Utah. A viewing will be held prior to the service from 9:30 -10:45am.
