1950 - 2022
On April 7th 2022, our loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend Karen Rose passed away peacefully after living with Parkinson’s Disease for decades.
Karen was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 10th, 1950, to Arthur William Carlson and Beverly Jean Esmeyer Carlson. She spent her life in service to God as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to her family, and to her friends. Karen loved to dance, sing, perform, and create. She was known for her abundant talent and ingenuity, writing songs, poems, and stories. The walls of her home were adorned with her beautiful paintings, drawings, and cross-stitches, and her filing cabinet was bursting at the seams with all of her projects. Karen loved to exercise, walk, hike, and especially enjoyed playing racquetball with her dad. She was a passionate schoolteacher for as long as her body would allow, pouring herself into her role as an educator, and receiving her master’s degree in education from the University of Utah.
On December 12th, 1973, she married Stephen Alma Drechsel and together they brought six children into the world. 30 years later she expanded the family when she married her second husband Richard (Duff) Brown on August 19th, 1999—who preceded her in death on July 19th, 2017. Through that marriage she gained ten additional children.

9/25/1949 ~ 2/16/2022
Our dear sister, aunt, cousin and friend, Frankie passed away peacefully the evening of February 16th of cancer. She was the strongest, most determined person we have ever known, and she never complained about any pain.
Frankie was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. She graduated from Skyline High School and she also attended BYU, where she received a Master’s Degree in Athletic Training. Throughout her life she excelled in sports. She played for the Salt Lake County Shamrockettes as one of their pitchers. As a family, we spent many days at the White Ballpark watching her play, and cheering her on.
She had many talents including playing the guitar and singing, and she had a voice that many envied. We were blessed to get a video of her singing just a few weeks before she passed and her voice was still as pure and beautiful as it had always been. Frankie was loyal and hardworking, which was proven by her working for the same company for 30+ years.
Frankie is survived by her cat Sodie Pop, her sisters Wendy Davis (Steve), Tracy Brown, Kelly Hicken (Paul), Troy Walker (Kevin) and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Richard Ray Brown and Ellen Gwynn Brown.
We would like to give a special thank you to the staff at Welcome Home in Bountiful for making her last 8 months the best ever. Thank you Jen at Cascade Springs Hospice and Chaplin Stephanie, for the love and care they so kindly provided to her. Also, Paul Hicken for everything he did for her.
Until we meet again, “we love you dearly, Frankie”.

Steven Brice Kitt
1949 ~ 2019
Father, brother, grandfather, uncle and friend. His recovery from major surgery was complicated by the crippling arthritis that afflicted him in his later years. A rare defeat for a man who was usually a winner.1949 ~ 2019
As a youth he was a gifted athlete. He spoke often of the baseball season when, "My team missed, by a single game, the chance to play in the Little League World Series." In high school he was a talented auto mechanic. How we all wish we had his '59 Impala 2-door today (a vehicle that met its demise in a rollover, one of two should-have-been-fatal accidents that Steve walked away from unscathed). After graduating Skyline High in SLC, he attended Weber State College in pursuit of a degree in auto mechanics. He chose a different path, but Ogden was his home for the rest of his life. He was a skilled carpenter. "They always made me build the staircases, because no one else knew how to properly lay them out." Ultimately he earned his own license and became an independent contractor. Steve married ShaMe' Hemsley in 1984. After having two children, Chelsea and Jacob, they were later divorced. He loved the outdoors; hunting, fishing and boating in particular. He was a generous, wonderful friend. Stubborn and insufferable at times, he was one who makes the world an interesting place! We will sorely miss him.

Zina Lou Brown Kincaid
1950 - 2019
1950 - 2019
Zina passed away February 9, 2019 after a courageous struggle with cancer. She was the first daughter and second child of Barbara Ellen Handy and Billings Brown, born September 2, 1950 in Seattle, Washington. She lived there until she was three yet remembered that home well. The family moved to Springville, Utah where she attended elementary and junior high schools and helped with her five younger siblings. She loved the Springville house and neighborhood as well as the friends she made there. From there the family moved to Mercer Island, Washington where she learned to ski, work for spending money, and to chase boys.
The next chapter took them to Salt Lake City and Skyline High School. She loved it! She found her voice participating in concert choir, the literary magazine, and clubs and activities. She left quite a reputation for her younger siblings to live up to. A short stint in Annandale, Virginia taught her that an education was crucial to life’s success, and life there took her to her missionary service at the Hill Cumorah Pageant in New York. Back to Utah, Zina graduated from BYU with an English degree and elementary teaching certificate. Also while at BYU, she met the love of her life, Robert V. Kincaid, and they began their eternity together on June 1, 1971. Their oldest two children were born while finishing school, after which their little family moved to Everett, Washington, where they raised eight children: Jesse J. (Julie) Kincaid, Erin K. (Matt) Kincaid, Shane C. (Jessica) Kincaid,Katie K. (Rich) Chavez, Clint R. Kincaid,Curtis G. Kincaid, David R. (Hailey) Kincaid, and Clay J. (Stacie) Kincaid. As a stay-at-home mother, Zina taught her children to work hard: as a family, they delivered newspapers together for 15 years! They watched her trade homemade bread for piano lessons and haircuts. They had happy, productive childhoods thanks to a diligent, faithful, and happy mother! As adults, they produced 24 happy grandchildren.
After raising her children, Zina began her belated teaching career in Everett; she taught gifted fifth-graders for just over 18 years. She was a beloved and creative teacher, touching the lives of many children and their families. She made friends easily wherever she lived and wherever she went, whether at school, Church, or even water aerobics! Her cancer cut her teaching career short, and she and Robert moved to Utah to be near the Huntsman Cancer Institute and to be near grandchildren. They bought a home in Springville and enjoyed downsizing and gardening and spending time with family.Her life was filled with Church service and community involvement. She held fast to her testimony and faith in Jesus Christ, which served to strengthen not only her, but those around her. She leaves this world a better place by having been here. She’s off to greet her parents, two cousins, a nephew, and a granddaughter in her next adventure. We will miss her but know she will continue to be joyful.
A viewing will be held Tuesday, February 12, 2019 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the Kolob 5th Ward, 2557 Dalton Dr., Springville. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, February 13, 2019 at 12:00 pm with a viewing one hour prior at the same church. Interment will be in the Springville Evergreen Cemetery.
Donations in Zina's memory can be made to the Highly Capable program in Everett public schools where Zina touched the hearts of many students. Send donations to Mill Creek Elementary School, 3400 148th St. SE, Mill Creek, WA 98012.

"Adieu! Adieu! 1950 - 2016
(Editor's Note: Again, we just received this information. Sharon passed on or about 3 April 2016)
thy plaintive anthem fades
Past the near meadows,
over the still stream,
Up the hill-side;
and now 'tis buried deep
In the next valley-glades:
Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
Fled is that music: ---
Do I wake or sleep?"
For her former students, every time they open a book, Keats' Nightingale returns on the wings of Sharon's enduring gift.
After a long illness that she faced with great courage, Sharon passed peacefully with family by her side bidding her adieu. She was born to Dee and Dorothy Clegg, attended Skyline High School, and received degrees in education from the University of Utah and Utah State. At the two universities she met a cohort of colleagues who became fast and life long friends. For over twenty years she taught at Muir, Franklin, Mountain View and Rowland Hall Elementary Schools and tutored until she no longer had the strength. Helping children discover the magic of reading brought her joy beyond measure. She loved taking walks with dear friends, sharing a good book, and shopping for shoes and eyeglasses that complimented her natural beauty.
Sharon and Prescott shared a wonderful life of 44 years filled with memories to assuage the pain of her loss. She is preceded in death by her parents Dorothy and Dee Clegg, aunt Arlene (Warren) and is survived by her husband Prescott; brothers Darrell (Shauna) and Ralph (Kristin) Clegg; daughter Adria (Geoff) Swindle; son Luke (Meridith); and five precious grandchildren Ella, Lilly, Luke, Evan and Ryan. Nonna, you're "a flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme".
A celebration of Sharon's life will be held at the Salt Lake Country Club. Interment at Mt. Olivet Cemetery.

1950-2014
(Editor's Note: This information just came to us by way of Laura Horiuchi, one of our classmates. Robin passed December of 2014)
We have lost the gracious, compassionate, and generous presence of Robin Winburn, who passed away peacefully on December 16, 2014.
Robin shared a long love affair with her husband Bennett Woll. She was deeply loved by her sister (Lauri Winburn Taylor), brother (David Winburn) and step-children (Ilan Woll and Dena (David) Woll Raminick and her grandsons Noah and Shelby). Her extended family, Robert and Monika Woll, Wendy Woll and Bill Binenstock, their daughter Sacha, Ron and Tammy Woll were very important to Robin and loved as well.
Robin was born in Salt Lake City, but left that world behind for San Francisco, a city she loved with all her heart. She may have left Salt Lake but her strong family ties to art, music and love of nature only grew stronger.
She graduated Magna cum Laude from the University of San Francisco College of Professional Studies in Human Relations and Organizational Behavior. She put this to good use with a job she loved-writing policy for the Levi Strauss Corporation. However, if you asked her occupation she would have replied, "Artist." Creating one-of-a-kind art books was a passion that never dwindled.
Robin married Bennett in 1984. In addition to finding her one true love, she embraced his passion for Judaism, as they studied with Reb Zalman. She went on to become a Bat Mitzvah and afterwards continued with Hebrew studies and Torah study.
Robin found joy in every aspect of her life. She loved to cook, especially for friends. She had a quick and ready wit and loved puns. She took great joy in beautifully organizing every compartment of her life. She experienced joy in music and art: the symphony and museums were a big part of that.
She loved learning new things, and a really good day involved new words and new concepts.
Her family and friends were the most important part of her life. Her strength, compassion and wisdom touched many people. Her bright energy, quick wit, huge smile and thoughtfully considered opinions were a gift to anyone who received them.

1950-2012
We're sorry to have to convey more sad news to you. Our friend, Dane Olsen, passed away April 19, 2012, from a blood clot.
It was unexpected. Dane's wife, Esther Makiko Olsen, unfortunately discovered him at home after not seeing him all day.
Dane didn't have a history of heart problems, but evidently his father and grandmother did and Makiko says the past few years have been difficult for Dane since the loss of his parents.
Our sincere condolences go out to his family.

Kim Haller
1950-2012
Kathy Kim Putnam (Age 62) passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her five children and loving husband. She was born on April 10, 1950 to Rea Miller in Salt Lake City, Utah.
She attended and graduated Skyline High School - Class of 1968. Shortly after, she met the love of her life, working at Auerbachs and was married to William H. Putnam, February 13, 1969. They later were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. She adored him and refused to be left anywhere without him. They were always together especially over the past several years. Dad displayed an unusual amount of vigor, compassion, patience and true, genuine love. Together they raised five children Paul (Kim), Josh, Kourtney Vickery (Clay), Carly Warnick (Spencer) and Joey. They have been blessed with 15 Grandchildren whom she loved and adored. She enjoyed her home filled with the rambunctiousness and excitement that they would bring.
She made lifelong friendships while living in California. These friendships endured till' the end. She made a concerted effort to show her kids the importance of keeping family and friends close by. Kim and her family moved back home to Salt Lake City, in 1984 where she remained until her death.
She always made sure to keep the mood light. She loved to watch the L.A. Dodgers & Utah Jazz games with us kids. She often said "she would have married Steve Garvey or Jeff Hornacek . Luckily I found Dad." She loved to laugh and keep others laughing. She would laugh and laugh until she had tears rolling down her face.
She is our definition of selflessness. Her heart was full of love and often led by example. It was not uncommon to find our mom paying for a families utility bill or buying groceries for someone anonymously. "Everything she gave, and nothing she would take."
She loved to watch and cheer her Children and Grandchildren in their athletics. Her cheer was easily heard on and off the field from the stands. She was loud and proud, no matter what event.
She showed us so much strength in her later years by fighting Alzheimer's disease with a will to be happy. She would dance, sing, laugh, and tease. She would often play a joke on us and with her big blue eyes, and her Diet Coke in hand. She kept us rolling through it all.
She is survived by her Husband of 43 years, William H. Putnam, Children , Grandchildren her Mother Rea Miller, and her 4 loving sisters 2 brothers and their spouses.
She was preceded in death by her Stepfather Cal Miller.
The family would like to thank the many friends, family members and Alpha Omega Hospice Care for all of the love and care over these past several years.
