Kristi Mickelle Haslam, 58, of Bountiful, Utah, passed away peacefully on August 11, 2025, surrounded by loved ones after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Kingman, Arizona, to David Michael Gardner, Kristi lived a life full of warmth, adventure, and devotion to those she loved. In 1990, Kristi married John Haslam, her soulmate and lifelong partner, with whom she built a beautiful legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. Kristi worked for the State of Utah, forming lifelong friendships that became a cornerstone of her life. Known for her kind spirit and infectious smile, she touched countless lives with her generosity and compassion.

An avid outdoorswoman, Kristi found joy in hunting and camping, especially in Wyoming's wide-open spaces, where she created treasured memories. Her love for nature was matched only by her fierce devotion to her family.

She is survived by her husband, John Haslam; her children, Johnny, Dustin, Jennifer, Brady, and Carli; and her beloved grandchildren, Kaylee, Riley, Josh, Dylan, and Kiley, who filled her heart with joy. To all her children, no matter the circumstances, Kristi's love remained constant and unconditional. She was preceded in death by her beloved father, David Michael Gardner, her cherished grandparents, Grandma and Grandpa Prince, and her dear sister-in-law, Susan Forbes.

Per Kristi's wishes, there will be no formal services. In lieu of flowers, Kristi asks that you all give your family and friends a hug, spreading the warmth she shared so freely.

We love you, Mom.

Kris was so kind and thoughtful and I loved working with her. My fondest memory was when Kris gave me a Winnie the Pooh Basinet with only a days notice. We had just learned of an upcoming adoption and the baby came 2 weeks early, so we had no time to prepare. Kris made sure the basinet was delivered to my house before we brought the baby home from the hospital. Here is a picture of Kris with Alissa, when Alissa was 2 months old. Kris was always thinking of others and doing kind things for them. I will miss her. Kim Diamond-Smith

I'll remember how Kris was always the first one of the day, or even day before, to wish me a happy birthday. No matter how busy things were at work or what else was going on, I always got my birthday message from her. It wasn't just about the birthday, but it was the way Kris had of making people feel remembered, valued, and cared for. That little act each year reminded me of her big heart and generous spirit. I have many sweet memories of working with Kris that I will cherish. She reminded me of my big sister who I love so much. I will miss her deeply but I will carry the memories with me always. Rest in paradise, Kris!
