Notes:

Aagot Marie Randby was born in Oslo, Norway, January 11, 1884. Her moth e r was Marie Darmody. Aagot was adopted by Ole and Lena Randby. When Jo h n Randby, the only son of Ole and Lena Randby was driving a hackney aro un d the city of Oslo as a taxi service, he heard a baby crying many time s o n his route. He reported this to his father and mother. As his fathe r wa s a constable, he was given permission to bring the baby home. She w as la ter adopted by the Randbys. Aagot’s real father owned a shoe factor y. Aag ot managed to acquire many lovely things when she visited him. Amo ng the m were some high button shoes that she highly treasured. At a ver y earl y age she had a lovely singing voice. She recounted many times t o her chi ldren that she sang for the Prince of Norway when he docked. Pl atforms we re built in the trees to watch the Prince ride by in his carri age. Aago t sang for the Prince as he approached his palace. Later when E van Stephe ns (LDS composer and director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir ) visited Nor way, he was very much impressed by her singing. Aagot’s mot her was one o f the early converts to the church (Church of Jesus Chris t of Latter Da y Saints). Her father never joined. He was the head of th e King’s Polic e Force and was very handsome in his regalia of braid an d tassles. When A agot heard the gospel from some missionaries she too wi shed to join the C hurch. She sneaked off to the Mormon meetings becaus e her father objecte d to her joining the Church. Aagot was baptized 31 J uly 1899 in Norway. T he young daughter came to Utah in 1901. Her fathe r said he would clothe h er in all of the beautiful clothes she would des ire to prepare her for he r journey, but after she left he would never su pport her financially agai n.
When she arrived in Utah, she disembarked in Ogden where it was muddy a n d rainy. She had been prepared for a city paved in gold in Zion. She st ar ted working as an assistant seamstress at a Walker Department Store. S h e sewed on buttons and altered clothing as a beginning. One of the mos t e ventful happenings of her life was when she was crowned Queen of th e 88t h Anniversary Celebration of Norway’s Independence in Salt Lake Cit y in 1 902. It was at this celebration that she met Djalmar Lund and thei r court ship commenced. She loved hats and many times bought a new hat t o wear o n a date with Djalmar rather than buy herself a meal. Djalmar bo ught he r pastries which many times was all she had to eat.
Aagot was endowed on the 27th of May and married in the Salt Lake Temp l e that same day in the year 1903.
Aagot was a soloist for many years in the Scandinavian Choir on Temple S q uare and gave many hours of valuable service as a soloist at funerals . Sh e was the mother of two sons and five daughters: Aubrey Djalmar, Gor don R andby, Evangeline Priscilla, Thelma Eve, Margot Arvilla, LaVon Iris , an d Constance Irene.
She was a very happy spirit singing around the house while she did her w o rk. She had a rare sense of humor, was a comedienne perching silly hat s o n her head and pulling faces to delight her children. She loved to vi si t and was fun to be with and as a result had many friends and belonge d t o many ladies’ clubs. She enjoyed associating with the ladies in th e Reli ef Society and was a faithful attender in her own ward and the Fed eral He ights Ward where many of her more wealthy friends attended. Aago t was a f aithful temple worker and as a child I remember her regularly p reparing t he temple clothes by washing and ironing them before she atten ded a sessi on. My parents’ diligence has been an example to me.
She sewed most of the clothes her children wore, making underwear from H u stler flour sacks and dresses from old pants of her husband. She sewe d an d designed her own hats from second hand ones. They were stunning. S he wa s always very well dressed and fashionable. She also sewed baby bon nets w hich she sold and displayed in Mormon Handicrafts. She was very cr eativ e tatting handkerchiefs, making rag rugs, lamp shades, and jewelr y from o ld buttons and beads. She made homemade bread and always had coo kies in t he cookie jar. She canned fruits by the hundreds of jars, pickl es, chil i sauce and jams and jellies. The aroma of good cooking always f illed th e air. She took great pride in a beautiful home and acquiring ma ny lovel y pieces of china and furniture because of her good management.
She loved dances and parties and while rearing her family took her babi e s with her in a buggy and bedded some of the younger children on the be nc hes while she danced and joined in the fun. She and Djalmar attended m an y masquerades dressed to the hilt.
She desired the best for her children and wanted them to be educated a n d have the opportunity to be cultured. She urged them to study a music a l instrument or take dancing.
Aagot devoted her last few years to Djalmar, who became blind. Until t h e end she was very alert, fun loving, and young for her years, never tu rn ing gray until her very last days when she fell and broke her hip. I n th e matter of a few months her health went downhill and she passed awa y o n September 9, 1966, about two months after her dear Djalmar.
