Kathleen Carrington

Kathleen Lamb passed away November 28, 2017 peacefully in her home. She was born March 9, 1947 in Tooele, Utah to Keith and Alta Carrington. Kathleen attended college in Cedar City, where she met Dean. They were married September 27, 1969 in Elko, Nevada, and were later sealed in the St. George Temple. Kathleen and Dean raised their family in Sandy, Utah, where their home was always open for anyone to stop and visit or stay while traveling for appointments.

Kathleen showed her love for others by serving any way she could. One of the greatest services she gave was to make quilts for loved ones. Many have been wrapped in a quilt, lovingly made by Kathleen. She would spend hours and hours getting them perfect, many times starting completely over if it wasn’t just right. She would always say it was her labor of love. Kathleen did many projects over the years using her talent of sewing to bring color and life to everyone. She spent her life serving and giving to those around her. She wasn’t known for having a filter, but was known for always showing up to give her support. She had many callings in the LDS Church throughout her life; she always enjoyed serving in primary. She also served a service mission.

Kathleen also enjoyed art and would spend many hours painting, and doing photography. After the passing of her husband and son, she went back to college, and finished a bachelor’s degree in art. Education was always important to her, and she spent her life learning. She always had a book she was reading, and kept an extensive library in her room of the many books she read. She loved to spend time with her family in the outdoors and enjoyed nature.

Kathleen was a feisty lady who was known for telling it like it is. You always knew where you stood with her. She was determined and knew what she wanted in life.

Kathleen was proceeded in death by her parents Keith and Alta Carrington, husband Dean and son Alan. She is survived by: her daughters, Kaylynn (Steve) Lindholm and Janice (Dan) Sterger; her all-time favorite grandson Cameron Worsley; four grand-puppies – Daisy, Abby, Bonsey and Lilly; siblings Bud (Marilyn) Carrington, Jerry (Kay) Carrington, Joanne Carrington; sister-in-laws Elaine and JoAnn Lamb; brother-in law Mike Fox; as well as many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
