Jami Williams Barton
1976 - 2013
Salt Lake City, Utah-Jami Williams Barton passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 26, 2013 and returned to her Heavenly Father.
Jami was a beloved mother, wife, daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, aunt, cousin and friend. Family meant everything to Jami and she taught us all how to laugh regardless of any situation, love one another and always be there for each other. She served faithfully in many church responsibilities including loving service as Young Women's President. Jami endured faithfully through eight years of illness - eternally influencing her children while being a loving companion to her husband. By her example, everyone around her learned endless sacrifice, kindness, patience, faith, love, and selfless service.
Jami was born March 17, 1976 and grew up in Salt Lake City, Northern California and Washington. After graduating from Woodinville High School near Seattle she completed a degree in elementary education from the University of Utah, showing great talent for teaching both children and adults.
Jami is survived by her devoted and loving husband Carl Barton, three children Elli, Nicole, and Ben, parents Jerry and Ann Williams, sister Allison (Eric) Zollinger, two brothers Eric (Katie) Williams and Mike (Joy) Williams and grandparents Frank and Nadine Davis and Veirl and Louise Williams.

Friends may visit with the family on Sunday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the same location and also at the chapel on Monday morning from 9:30 to 10:45 am prior to the service.

Jami's influence in my life continues daily. I am forever indebted to her. There are no words to express how much my heart goes out to those close to her. the services have come and gone, and the flowers may be getting wilted now a week later. but this loss continues. She made everyone around her better in life… and those who continue here on this earth are only able to cope with this because of the strength she imparted to those around her.

I was so saddened to hear about the loss of my childhood friend. I want to extend my heartfelt prayers and love to both the Williams and Barton families - and all those who know Jami. To know her is to love her and I can say, even after all these years, that I am a better person for having known her. I am so blessed to have had the privilege of knowing her and know that heaven is a much brighter place because she is there. She truly was one of the best people I have ever known in my life. She was as sweet, kind and wonderful as they come. I know that Heavenly Father will bring you all through this trial and let you feel her spirit there with you. If I can be of any service, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I met Jami only once although I got to know her through her husband and daughter, Elli. The first time I had the opportunity to see her beautiful smile and feel her wonderful spirit I was humbled by the love she had for her family. She was bound by a wheel chair but her eternal spirit soared. My life was blessed by that one meeting. She will be missed by all who knew her.

I was in the Elementary Ed program with Jami at the U. She was a great example and friend to me. While we lost touch after college, I will never forget her infectious smile and positive attitude. Some people just effect our lives for good and she was one of those people.

We feel incredible sadness for Jami's family, who have lost their precious daughter, mother, sister and wife. What a wonderful person Jami was!
We have no doubt that Jami understood her greatest on earth was her loving family and her parents, who did everything in their power to love, support and heal her. There are no finer people in the world than the family Jami was so lucky to have. Our thoughts are with you and we will remember Jami's beautiful smile and spirit always.
Our Love, Gail and Brian
