LaRee met her devoted husband, Carl Kay, in the 2nd grade. She was a cheerleader at Gunnison Valley High School where she graduated in 1954. A year later, she married Kay on May 7, 1955 in Centerfield, Utah. They were later sealed in the Logan, Utah Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They were married for 66 years.
She had a very strong testimony of Jesus Christ and was always willing to serve others. LaRee served in many positions of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, including Primary president, Young Women’s president and Relief Society president. Together she and Kay served a wonderful mission in Texas. After living in Montana and California, they eventually returned to Utah where LaRee and Kay served as temple workers in South Jordan, Utah and St. George, Utah for 20 years. LaRee was also a successful real estate agent at Coldwell Banker for many years.
In her home you could always smell fresh bread baking. She was famous for her delicious rolls. LaRee loved her family and friends! She also enjoyed playing games with all of her family and grandchildren. In her retirement she and Kay travelled the world to every continent except Antarctica.
