Faith Darlene Kitchen

Faith Darlene Meadows Kitchen, age 69, of Orem, Utah, peacefully passed away, surrounded by family, on Monday, January 2, 2017 after a two-year battle with cancer.

She was born September 21, 1947 in Los Angeles, California to Emmett Meadows and Laura Bell Hopson Jenkins. She was an independent, avid reader raised in Oklahoma. After graduating high school, she moved to Southern California and married.

She placed a high importance on education and graduated college while raising a family as a single mother and working three jobs. She was a member of the LDS Church and served in her callings wholeheartedly. Her love for genealogy aided in her connections to lost family and friends. She was always full of laughter, life and had a unique spirit.

As a beloved sister, mother, and grandmother, she is survived by her three children: Kellie Hampton (Jeff), Laura Meadows, and Jared Kitchen, her eight grandchildren: Morgan Olsen (Daniel), Jacob Hampton, Hannah Hampton, Hailee Kitchen, Sydney Hampton, Dakota Kitchen, Addison Hampton, and Keiston Kitchen, and her half-sister Mary Lou Worrell (Jerry).

Memorial services will be held Thursday, January 5, 2017 at 1:00 pm in the Stonewood 5th Ward Chapel, 450 South 100 West, Orem, Utah. Honoring her wishes, there will be no viewing. Immediately following the services there will be an opportunity to meet and greet the family in the cultural hall. Refreshments will be served.
