Brida Elizabeth Akins
2012
Brida Elizabeth Akins, born on June 25, 2012, daughter of Erin and Samuel J. Akins, passed away peacefully in her sleep and was reunited with her heavenly Father on August 9, 2012. She was an inspiration to all with her fighting spirit, having been born with a congenital heart defect and recovering from surgery at 3 days of age. She spent her six weeks of life being kissed and cuddled, read to, sung to and deeply loved by her parents, and three big sisters, Rosemary, Mairead & Maggie.
She was a tremendous blessing to her family, who are overjoyed to have had their short time with her. She will be remembered for her absolute beauty, innocent sweetness, and trademark snort. She will be forever loved and forever missed.
In addition to her parents and sisters, she is survived by her grandparents Patricia and Colin K. Kearns and Joan and Samuel O. Akins, her aunts and uncles Joanne and Paul Miller, Melody Englund, Patricia Akins, Diana and Scott Akins, Maura Kearns, Melissa and Colin J. Kearns, and Kelly Jean and Kelly M. Kearns, and six loving cousins. The family wants to express a special thank you to all the doctors, nurses and staff at Primary Children's Hospital for all the excellent and tender care that Brida received. We are eternally grateful.
Services under the direction of Larkin Mortuary will be held on Tuesday, August 14th at 6 PM at St. John the Baptist Parish, 300 East 11800 South in Draper, UT. Services will be preceded by calling hours at the Church at 5 PM.
