Obituary

Since it's the end of the year, in our Yearbook class we have started to write stories. We have done many different types of genres, and this week the category was an obituary. It kinda freaked me out, so I used dates that were a long time ago. I also didn't include names of a husband or kids because that was a little creepy. So here is my obituary that I wrote about myself...hope you enjoy.

Kendall Diane Sargent

Birth: April 9, 1897

Death: Setember 23, 1984

Living a long life of 87 years, Kendall Sargent died peacefully in the night with her three children right by her side. She was in her favorite place in the world which was with her family at their cabin in the Uintah Mountains in Utah. She was very healthy as an old woman and didn’t have many medical problems, but died of old age.

Kendall was born to two amazing parents named Kathryn and Steve on September 23, 1984 in Arlington, Virginia. She was brought into a loving family with parents and siblings who cared so much. She was the third oldest in her family of six children. As a child, she listened and danced to music all day long and was full of energy from the moment she was born. Moving back to Utah was a change, but she lived there from when she turned 3. She loved school from the moment she went and attended Burton Elementary, Sam Morgan Elementary, Fairfield, Junior High, Davis High school where she loved getting an education. While in school, she played both volleyball and tennis. Taking third in state in tennis and being a state champion in volleyball, she was quite an athlete. She was always a fun person to be around and loved to organize get togethers with friends.

She found the perfect man at age 23 and fell in love with him. They were married on June 26, 1920. Before they had any kids they were world travelers for about 2 years. They went all over Europe and Asia and even spent a week in Tahiti. She got a Masters degree in U.S. History at Stanford University. She taught her favorite subject of U.S. History at a college on the East Coast. Her kids were raised in Georgia, and their family enjoyed the warm weather together. She had three beautiful children who loved her and cared for her till the moment she passed away. As an older woman, she was the grandmother of 13 grandchildren, and she had 27 great grandchildren before she died. Her family was her greatest joy in life and always brought her happiness.

All throughout her life, she was a very faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There wasn’t a day in her life when she didn’t do some type of service for another person. She was a great mother to her children, and they learned so much just by watching her example of being a good person. Her family was sad to see her go, but they know that they will see her again someday.

A wonderful funeral service was held for her in Salt Lake City, Utah where most of her family lived. So many wonderful memories and stories were shared about the great life lived by Kendall Diane Sargent. She is one who will be missed and was loved by so many.
