Tamra Jorgensen Kelly

Tamra Jorgensen Kelly

Tami was born on October 19, 1964, in Mt. Pleasant, Utah, the first of seven children born to Robert and Betty Jorgensen. With one sister and five brothers, she grew up surrounded by love, adventure, and the great outdoors. She had a deep love for nature, spending her childhood riding horses, herding sheep, and sharing precious moments with her dad and her siblings on the mountain.

A true social butterfly, Tami had a gift for making everyone feel seen and heard. She was a friend magnet who never met a stranger, always remembering birthdays and making people laugh with her wit and warm heart. She had a brilliant mind, excelling as a Sterling Scholar and carrying her love of learning and hard work throughout her life.

One of her greatest joys was being a mother to her son, Kevin, and later, a devoted grandmother to her granddaughter, Cadence and step-grandson, Ethan. She was everyone’s biggest cheerleader—first as a high school cheerleader and then as a lifelong supporter of those she loved.

Tami’s faith in the Lord was unwavering. She had an unshakable testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the light of Christ shone through her daily actions and thoughtful words. She brightened the lives of all who knew her with her humor, kindness, and positive spirit.

Even through tremendous physical struggles, she remained a warrior, showing strength and grace in all she endured.

One of the deepest and most cherished relationships in her life was the bond she shared with her only sister, Annie, standing side by side as best friends and a constant source of love and support.

Tami is survived by her loving mother, Betty Jorgensen Jonson, and stepfather, Jan Jonson; her son, Kevin Kelly (Jenny); granddaughter, Cadence; step-grandson, Ethan; and her siblings: Trent Jorgensen (Julie), Troy Jorgensen (Staci), Annie Jorgensen, Scott Jorgensen (Clara), Brian Jorgensen (Tiffany), and Tyler Jorgensen (Jessica). She also leaves behind countless friends, cousins and loved ones who were blessed by her kindness and light.
