Treva Lee Petersen, 88, of Rigby, died May 4, 2003, at the Rexburg Nursing Center from natural causes. She was born June 5, 1914, in Ammon, to Niels Siverin Lee and Lena Francis Helmondollar Lee. She attended schools in Am-mon and Ucon, and was active in dances, operettas, glee club and girls basketball, playing on the varsity for four years. She graduated from Ucon High School in 1934.
On Oct. 6, 1934, she married Lloyd Franklin Petersen in Ucon. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple on July 18, 1951.
She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, teaching in many auxillaries of the church, and served as a ward and stake Relief Society President and full-time missionary with her husband in the North Carolina LDS Mission. She enjoyed working in the temple, music, and painting and was a very loving mother and grandmother; her joy in life was her family.
