Galen Wilson becomes licensed apprentice with Sims

We at Sims Funeral Home are happy to announce that after a year of working along side the other caring staff of the funeral home,  Galen Wilson is now a licensed apprentice with us.  Galen has been such a great addition to Sims Funeral Home. We are grateful to have such a wonderful person to help take care of the people of Caribou County and surrounding areas. Anyone that knows Galen knows that he loves his community and is always willing to serve. 

Galen Wilson was born and raised in Soda Springs. He attended Soda Springs High School graduating in 1973. Galen was active in sports and enjoyed participating in student government. Galen began working at Monsanto in 1974 after a year of college at BYU. Galen was able to work in many positions and redesign teams during his 42 1/2 year career retiring in December 2016. Galen met his eternal companion, Joy Ellen Godfrey and was married in the Logan Temple in June 1976. They have lived in Soda Springs since then. Galen has enjoyed his opportunity to help Joy's father and brother on their farm, driving trucks and taking Joy on some of the long hauls. They have four beautiful daughters that have given them 15 grandchildren with three granddaughters recently married. Galen is actively participating in the Caribou Historical Society, the Caribou Medical Center Foundation, the Caribou Development Foundation and is active in church. He has enjoyed following his grandchildren as they have participated in sports and dance. Galen enjoys being outside, especially camping and helping his son-in-law with his Cross Country activities. It has given him the opportunity to be involved with a lot of great kids. 

“I never thought that I would have the opportunity to work at a mortuary helping members of our community. It has been a wonderful experience and  I have enjoyed helping wherever possible,” Wilson said.
