KARLEEN STOKER-MEEKS

Krista and Family,
My heart was deeply saddened to hear of Karleen's passing. I had the privilege of knowing her for several years when she lived in South Jordan. Not only was Karleen a beautiful woman, words cannot describe the inner beauty of her spirit. She was a glowing example of faith and happiness, and lifted up and inspired everyone around her. All my love and prayers to Krista and loved ones.

I am so sorry I did not hear about your passing until just today when I saw the sign in Kaysville. I always considered you a good friend and looked forward to your visits. I will miss you deeply.

Dearest Stoker Family and Krista,
My heart is shocked and SO saddened to have heard just today of precious Karleen passing away. It was just last month that I tracked her down to add her as a friend on Facebook, and I had been hoping to get in contact with her. I have thought of her and Krista so often over the past decades that we have lived apart, and she has always been in my thoughts as one of the dearest, kindest, & most loving friends that I've EVER had and I will miss her...

Dear Krista, I don't know if you'll remember me but I met you and your mother when you were a small girl and we all lived in the Cottonwood Hills Condos in Sandy. When we moved away I was sad as I dearly loved your mother and the friendship we shared. It was wonderful to see you both again when we lived in South Jordan. I am so sorry that she is gone. She was AND STILL IS a beautiful, loving person. I pray that your wealth of memories will bring you comfort, happiness and even at times tears...

Dear Uncle Lynn, Aunt Ruth, Krista, and all the rest of the family...I add my heartfelt sympathy for the early exit of Karleen. What fun I have had with your family from babysitting for you in Twin Falls to so many wonderful Stoker Reunions. Karleen was a happy, sweet, and loving little girl who grew into a beautiful and inspiring young woman; and then into a dedicated, serene, and gifted teacher. The fun continued as she hosted us at "grown-up sleepovers" and get togethers to gab, gab,...

stoker family, all of my thoughts, love and prayers are with you at this time! What an amazing woman Karleen is! It is such a a joy to think about all of the fun weekends we spent at her home. She was always smiling and her laugh just made me happy! She is truly one of a kind and everyone that knew her is blessed to have known her! I am so grateful for your amazing family and for your love and friendship through the years! May the love of dear friends and family comfort you and sustain...

Dear Ms. Meeks,
When I read your obituary this morning my heart was very saddened. Both of my boys had you for their first grade teacher at Rosamond Elementary in Riverton back in the early '90s. They have very fond memories of you and you were definitely one of their favorites. I too have memories of helping out in your classroom and getting to know you. Your love of teaching always shined through. You were so cute with the kids and I know they just loved you. I remember all of the...

Our oldest son Grant was able to be part of Ms. Meeks class this new year. Even though we were only able to know Ms. Meeks for a few weeks, she will have a lasting impression on all of our lives. Like the majority of her students and their parents, we did not get word of her passing until Grant was in class. When he got home, Kori asked him what happened today? In his own words he said: "....You know Ms. Meeks...? Yes, she replied. "...Well she died...but, it's ok, she's in Heaven and...

Mama Meeks,
Thank you so much for being my second mom! I appreciate all the late night chats and slumber parties we were able to share together. You have taught me so much about patience, dilligence, and enduring to the end. We will love you always and forever and can't wait to be reunited in the life hereafter!
Love, love, love... Ally and Wes Hill
