Karen Draper Garrett

Karen Draper Garrett, 72, passed away peacefully on July 29, 2018, with her family by her side. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on October 2, 1945 to Morris J and NaVieve Larson Draper, the third of six children. She graduated from Highland High School in 1964. She married Randall J Garrett in the Salt Lake Temple on September 8, 1967. They were blessed with four children. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served in many callings.

Karen loved her family unconditionally and always spoke gentle and kind with never a negative word to say about anyone or anything. Karen, very naturally, loved her Heavenly Father. She loved being a homemaker and was very talented at sewing, quilting and cross stitch. She spent many years doing genealogical research and organizing many family histories. Family and grand-children were the joy of her life. We will all miss her positive and cheerful attitude, sense of humor and loving, non-judgmental way.

Karen is survived by her husband, Rand and children Jedd (Trisha) Garrett, Lisa Ballard, Jennifer (Nick) Healy, and Laura (Shane) Webster and her fourteen grand children: Emma, Dawson & Adeline Garrett; Remington (Amanda), Gabriella, Jackson & Annie Ballard; Madalin, Morgan, McKenna & Savannah Healy; Hanna, Parker & Jake Webster; her brothers Lorey (Naoma) Draper; Kurt (Lynn) Draper & sister Marsha D Fryer and many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by her father & mother, sister Janet D Poulsen and brother Dale J Draper.
