September 20, 1916 — June 26, 2007
Sherman Lawrence Oyler, 90, passed away peacefully Tuesday, June 26, 2007 in the Logan Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.
Sherm was born September 20, 1916 in East Garland, Utah, to Joseph and Fanny Mabel Capener Oyler. He attended Bear River High School in Garland, graduating in 1935. He then attended Utah State University.
Sherm married Lenna Shaffer on September 1, 1938 in the Salt Lake Temple. They were blessed with six children: Jack Dee Oyler of Filer, Idaho; Dick Reta Oyler of Boise, Idaho; Nan J.D. Hawkes of St. Anthony, Idaho; Ted Diana Oyler of Tremonton, Utah; Jane Ray Nielsen of Logan, Utah; and Joe Barbara Oyler of Providence, Utah. He is a grandpa to 30 grandchildren and 72 great-grandchildren.
After the passing of Sherm?s wife, Lenna, in 1970, he married Norma Sorensen Gleed in 1971. Norma?s children are: Dennis Marilyn Gleed of Rupert, Idaho; and Brenda Dennis Thomas of Malad, Idaho. Sherm was an active member of the LDS church and held several positions in his ward. He made a livelihood by mining with his father, farming, and carpentry. He built many churches, buildings on USU?s campus, and a cabin for his family to enjoy. Pheasant hunting was one of Sherm?s favorite ways to spend time with his sons and grandsons. In retirement, Sherm spent many hours working in his shop where he made clocks, key holders, wind chimes, and windmills. He loved to make things then give them away to his friends and family. He also enjoyed golfing and tended an immaculate garden.
Sherm is survived by his wife, Norma; five of his six children; and his sisters, Lucille Shaffer, Rhoda Welling, Verna Hyde, and Lois Archibald. He is preceded in death by his wife, Lenna; his youngest son, Joe Oyler; his parents; and his brother, Howard Oyler.
