OLIVE NIXON HICKMAN ELGGREN
April 2, 1979
by Nita Maxfield Sorensen
An amazing woman Olive was
A Mother and Grandmother we knew.
Her gracious manner and kindly ways,
As her warmth and love for all grew.
She was special -- she'd learned to Love her work
And do the best she knew how,
Forever demanding excellence!
She would MAKE TIME Right NOW!
I can hear her now - that musical laugh…
So distinct, there could be no other.
So tastefully dressed - something new, so it seemed
She would model and ·say, "How do you like your 'MOD' Grandmother?!
Learning to cook must have been a breeze
She began, having to stand on a stool,
Her hamburger gravy and homemade Ice cream,
All who 'knew her', knows there is no duel.
Music, Music filled her whole life
From the time she was very small,
All through the years she, sang and directed
Many choirs and that’s not all!
At B. Y.U. she had the lead
In many of their Operettas.
She also sang in the Concert Choir
And soloed many times before she graduated.
When asked to sing with a fine young man
By her teacher -- She said, "I’d love to”
So, at a church meeting she sang with Frank Leslie
And two years later she said, “I DO”!
Thirty-eight years of her life were spent Singing with
the Tabernacle Choir,
At the young age of 20 she soloed with them
During April Conference Singing "0 DIVINE REDEEMER"
Olive believed in her Primary Children,
Her large chorus was one of the best.
She would teach and train each song to them
Twice a day! And she'd get little rest.
She knew each voice - And the ones who could sing-
She even taught two-part harmony.
Even to 'the monotones she gave a part,
They were important as a bug or a tree.
The Primary Operetta for Conference they learned
“In My Grandmother's Old-Fashioned Garden."
The costumes and props, the music, and words
The children performed to perfection.
Relief Society Singing Mothers was another
Of her Choruses known through the state,
B. Cecil Gates would compose the songs
And have Olive's chorus sing them before the final publishing date.
One of her favorites of B. Cecil Gates
That her chorus did perform
Was "The Lord’s Prayer" arrangement
Done to perfection - That everyone long adorns.
Let's not forget the flowers she bloomed,
In a huge lot that could have been weeds,
Instead, she planted, and watered and nurtured them
And they blossomed from mere seeds.
We'll remember her smile,
Her flowers, her clean house, and her beauty
But, most of all we'll cherish her love for us all
And her ever strong testimony.
Of 'all the treasures she possessed'
Her family was her diamond,
She delighted and rejoiced
In the talents of her children and grandchildren.
She has five children, in order they are
Dean, Erma, June, Elaine, Ruth
She developed their talents, always proud of their work
And she taught them to tell the truth.
To all 26 grandchildren she is special,
Not one birthday has she ever forgot
We treasured her advice and great counsel
And her approval in our companions we sought.
Her colorful life so emulates
How the Savior would have us live,
On her dying day, she had work to be done
And she would not stay in her bed.
Yes, Olive's life - tho' very long lived
We thought she'd go on forever,
Her positive nature - so full of life,
Will live on with us FOREVER!!!
