Coleen Knapp McCammon
February 10, 1948 - October 1, 2018
Coleen Knapp McCammon passed away at her home Oct. 1, 2018, following an extended struggle with pancreatic cancer. She was born Feb. 10, 1948, in Mapleton, Idaho. She was the youngest of nine children born to Harry Walter and Cora Porter Knapp. Coleen spent her early years in Mapleton (Cub River). Following the death of her mother, when Coleen was just 11 years old, she moved with her father to Logan. She graduated from Logan High in 1966.
Following graduation she worked as an operator for the telephone company. It was during this time that she met her future husband, Bruce McCammon. They were married in the Logan LDS Temple on Dec. 15, 1967. Coleen and Bruce have five children and 18 grandchildren. She is survived by her husband and children, Bill (Tammie) of Ammon, ID, Teressa (Chris) Breinholt of Wellsville, Julie (Chuck) Bruen of Nibley, Tammy (Cole) Christensen of Nibley, Jason (Heather) of Farmington; and her sister Marjorie (Bruce) Hobbs of North Logan. She was preceded in death by her parents as well as brothers and sisters Adra Harris, Kenneth Knapp, Howard Knapp, Louise Parkinson Evelyn Griffith, Walter Knapp and LaPreal Ware.
Coleen and Bruce lived in Salt Lake City and Logan while Bruce attended school. They eventually settled in Wellsville, Utah, to make their home and raise their family where they have lived for the last 46 years.
Coleen enjoyed serving in her callings in the church. She especially enjoyed her time in the nursery and serving in the Relief Society. She worked for several years as the payroll secretary for Cache County School District. She enjoyed doing crafts and handwork as evidenced by many ceramic dolls, quilts, afghans, home decor and lawn decorations, children's clothes and crocheted animals. Her greatest satisfaction though was being a wife, mother and grandmother. She will be sorely missed by all who were privileged to know her.
