Elaine Marie Young Jarrett
November 24, 1928 - January 13, 2021
Our angel mother, grandmother, great grandmother, wife, sister, and friend, Elaine Marie Young Jarrett returned to the loving arms of her husband, parents, and Heavenly Parents on January 13, 2021, surrounded at home by her children. Her heart was worn out as she loved and served for 92 years.
She was born November 24, 1928, in Richfield, Utah, to Leland and Grace Sophia Young. She graduated from the University of Utah in Elementary and Home Economics Education and taught school for a year before marrying her eternal companion, Von Howell Jarrett on July 16, 1952, in the Salt Lake Temple. She taught two different years after they were married. She blessed many lives! Her positive attitude, testimony, and example will have far reaching effects and be treasured by all.
She lovingly supported her husband in his career. She was a faithful woman, tirelessly dedicated to her role as a mother-serving, nurturing, teaching, and supporting her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Throughout her life she was steadfast and devotedly served in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in every organization and capacity-including a full-time mission to Scotland, after Von passed away, and as a Logan Temple ordinance worker for 19 years. She was blessed to attend 68 temples throughout the world. The faith she had in our Savior Jesus Christ will be felt by future generations. She cherished serving 11 missions across the world with Operation Smile. Elaine was actively involved in 4-H at the county and state level as a teacher, leader and mentor.
She is survived by her children; Michael (Sharon), Debra (Blaine) Fluckiger, Brian (Cindy), Jon (Sonya), Matthew (Leslie), David (Kristen), Lisa (Jeff) Turley; 2 sisters, Janice (Jack) Parker and Christie (Grant) Richards; 85 grandchildren, 99 great grandchildren with 5 more on the way, and 4 great, great grandchildren with 1 additional on the way. She was preceded in death by her husband, Von; parents; brothers, Leland and Alan; and sister, Jean. Thanks to those who provided exceptional care to our "fantastic" mother.
Arrangements are under the direction of Allen-Hall Mortuary. A celebration of her life will be held on Wednesday, January 20, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. for immediate family and we invite others to join virtually. Burial will be in the Logan cemetery. Services will be livestreamed and may be viewed, as well as memories shared with the family, at www.allenmortuaries.net.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Temple Building Fund, the Von H. and Elaine Y. Jarrett 4-H scholarship at USU, or a charity of your choice.

Elaine Jarrett was one of my closest friends. She was in my ward since I was in nursery, I want to say that she may have been my nursery leader. She was a constant throughout my whole childhood, and she was such a light and source of love. Whenever I needed a boost, I knew I could go to her. She always supported me in my dreams. She was a huge support while I was on my mission, and she even came to my sealing. I loved her like a mother/grandmother, and she will continue to have a home in my heart. I´m so grateful to know her and love her. Thank you, Sister Jarrett.

I knew Elaine as a member of my stake. The few encounters I had with her left me very impressed with her testimony of the gospel, her dedicated service to everything she did, and her vast knowledge. We just had our stake conference days before she passed away. It was held virtually and they included a recorded presentation of several elderly women from our stake reciting The Living Christ. Elaine was among them and did a beautiful job as she recited her part by memory. She is a great lady and will be missed. My sympathies to her family.

I had the privilege of having Sister Jarrett as a companion while serving in the Scotland Edinburgh Mission. Although she was a senior sister, she had more energy than I did. As a senior sister, some of her rules of the mission were more flexible. I was thrilled because if she wanted to come in early or take a nap during the day, we could. The problem was, she never wanted to do either! I repeatedly and hopefully asked her several times a week, well maybe several times a day, if she was tired and wanted to take a nap. Her reply was simply, "I am doing fantastic." I would give her a look like she was crazy and off we would go. She was patient with me. I was young and stupid but she didn't mind. I will be forever thankful for the impact this woman had on my life. I use to call her my Energizer Bunny.

I am sorry for our loss but I know she is happy and now moving on to her next work. That is what she did. She chose to always move forward and serve those around her. Sister Jarrett, thank you for sharing your life with me. I love you.
