Nicole Dee Clawson Christensen

 Nicole Dee Clawson Christensen departed from us on Thursday August 29th. Born to David Alma Clawson and Olive “Belle” Marston Clawson, Nicole was a lifelong resident of Layton, UT. Nicole attended Davis High where she met her eternal companion, David. They married shortly after graduating, later solemnizing their marriage in the Salt Lake Temple. Nicole invested her life in the service of her family and to raising her six children, Kori Christensen, Laad Christensen, Kim (Jim) Boatwright, Mathew (Roger) Christensen, Ryan (Jamie) Christensen, and Travis (Taryn) Christensen. 

 She made our home a haven and loved holidays spent together and especially loved decorating for each and every holiday. Over the years, decorating her home took on a life of it’s own as the decorations vastly outnumbered the space available and sets for each holiday could be “rotated” from year to year. If you ever needed to know what the next major holiday was, a quick visit to her home would eliminate any doubt.

 Throughout her life Nicole enjoyed many hobbies and talents such as gardening, painting, basket weaving, quilting, crocheting, sewing, baking, canning, pottery, candy making, and reading. Nicole also took pride in her large collections of Boyd’s Bears, Beanie Babies, and Longenberger Baskets. Nicole loved reading and participated in many literary clubs and reading groups.

 Nicole held various jobs throughout the years including Avon, Tupperware, and many retail jobs. Much later she enjoyed employment as a land surveying apprentice and partner with her husband Dave.

 Nicole was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and held various callings in the Relief Society, Young Women’s, and Primary.

 Always quick to give compliments and praise, Nicole had a gift for making you feel loved and the world needs more people like Nicole and she will be sorely missed. 

 Nicole is preceded in death by her parents, her brother Ron Clawson, her son Laad, and her grandson, Drew. She is survived by her husband, daughters, Kori and Kimberly, her sons, Mathew, Ryan, Travis, and by 16 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

 Funeral services for Nicole will be held Friday September 6, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. at Lindquist’s Layton Mortuary, 1867 N. Fairfield Rd., Layton, Utah. Family and friends may visit Thursday September 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. and Friday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the mortuary prior to the services.

  In lieu of flowers please donate to your favorite charity.

 Thank you to our amazing father for the incredible care and love he gave to mom.
