Caleen served in the Young Women's programs in her ward and stake as well as the Primary and Relief Society. She had a strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and had a burning desire to have her family be together forever.

She shared a bond of closeness with her sisters Dixie, Joann, and Dottie that spilled over to all of her children and grandchildren that always had them excited to go to Aunt Dixie's house.

The family wishes to thank the EMS folks at Gold Cross, Dr. Brooksby and the ER staff at the Ashley Regional Medical Center, and the MCICU staff at the University Of Utah Hospital. Their professionalism as well as their compassionate care of Caleen will never be forgotten.
