SALT LAKE CITY — Funeral services for former Utah Gov. Olene Walker will be noon Friday at the Canyon Rim Stake Center.

A public viewing will be held 4-7 p.m. Thursday in the Gold Room at the state Capitol. A viewing for family and close friends will be held 10:30-11:30 a.m. Friday at the stake center, 3051 S. 2900 East, followed by the funeral.

Walker, Utah's first and only female governor, died Saturday at age 85. She became governor when Gov. Mike Leavitt left in 2003 to head the Environmental Protection Agency. Walker, a Republican, served 14 months as governor and 11 years as lieutenant governor.

Walker is survived by her husband, Myron; seven children; 25 grandchildren; and 25 great-grandchildren.
