Wanda Geraldine Kemp Schouten, of Taylorsville, passed away on Monday, February 15, 2010 as she lived, with incredible humor, grace, and strength of will, with loved ones by her side.
She was born February 23, 1923 in Crescent to Harvey and Javina (Bullock) Kemp, the youngest of ten children, who preceded her in death. She married her sweetheart, Henry "Hank" Schouten, on November 17, 1952. He preceded her in death on August 30, 2001.
Geri spent her life exploring beauty and her own creativity. Whether it was oil painting, creating porcelain dolls, quilting, crocheting, or gardening, her hands were always busy in the pursuit of her next creation. She was also an avid sportswoman. The Utah Jazz never had such an ardent fan. She loved the great outdoors and could often be found sitting on the fishing bank with her loved ones close by waiting for that big fish to bite. Always quick witted, her sense of humor put everyone at ease and sustained her through her challenges.
She is survived by her two daughters, Judy Shakespeare Davis (Ralph), of Auburn, Washington and Cora Schouten Bridge (Larry), of Murray, Utah; eight grandchildren, Camille (Alan), Kurt (Jenny), Ryan, Brynnley, Brooke (Cory), Jaime (Travis), Joe (Ashley) and Rob (Amy); and 22 great-grandchildren.
The family wishes to express gratitude to the staff of the RICU at Intermountain Medical Center for the exceptional care given to Wanda.
Funeral services will be held on Friday at 11:00 a.m. in the Bennion Heights Third Ward Chapel, 5775 South 2700 West. Viewings will be held on Thursday from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at McDougal Funeral Home, 4330 South Redwood Road (1700 West), and prior to the services at the church on Friday from 10:00-10:45 a.m.
Interment: Redwood Memorial Estates.
