Desiree Cochrane passed away peacefully on February 1, 2026, in Salt Lake City, Utah, surrounded by her loving family. She passed away due to leukemia after bravely fighting angiosarcoma for one year.

Desiree was born on December 16, 1982, in Rangely, Colorado, to Mark and Pamela Berrett. She was the fourth child in the family and was welcomed by an older brother (Glendon Berrett) and two sisters. (Marcia Prater, Tina Wilkerson).

On January 11, 2004, Desiree married Michael Cochrane. Together, they became parents to four children: Makenze, Jordan, Kenyon, and Chase. Their son Jordan was born on February 11, 2004, and tragically passed away the following day due to complications.

Desiree deeply loved animals and cherished her roles as a mother, aunt, and grandmother. She was a proud grandmother to Tyson and Emberly, who were the joy of her life. Desiree loved the outdoors and enjoyed hiking, camping, boating, and attending her children’s sporting events.

She was a certified bookkeeper and worked for Rangely Trash Service and Prater Plumbing. Desiree faithfully served in many callings within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was well known in the community for her kind heart and sweet spirit.

Desiree was hardworking, resourceful, and very skilled at do-it-yourself projects around the home. Above all, she always made time for her family and friends. Her love, strength, and generosity will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Desiree was preceded in death by her son, Jordan Dee Cochrane, and by her father-in-law, Carl Dee Cochrane.
