Brooke Jarrett Obituary (1979 - 2008)

Born in Salt Lake City on October 6, 1979, she was the first baby her father delivered. She died peacefully in South Jordan on November 3, 2008 of complications from a long term illness. Daughter of Arlen Kent and Jody Lindquist Jarrett, South Jordan, Utah. Graduate of Bingham High School and Westminster College. Those who knew her will know that she was caring, talented and beautiful. Her long list of accomplishments includes performing as first flutist with the Utah Youth Symphony, flute performances at Sundance Summer Theatre and other venues, and serving as Poetry Editor for the Westminster College Ellipses literary publication. She found fulfillment in her service at “The Sharing Place,” a grief support center for children. She loved children. Her fondest role was that of Aunt to Bailee, Austin, Carter and Sami. Her love and generosity for them knew no end. Survived by parents Arlen and Jody Jarrett. Sisters: Carly (Brandon) Robison, Riverton; and Ashley (Matthew) Miller, Napa, CA. Brother: Nick (Tiffany) Jarrett, Orem. Nieces and Nephews: Bailee, Austin, Carter and Sami Robison. Grandparents: J. Ray and Elaine A. Jarrett, Herriman.; Janice Lindquist, Ogden. Also many loving Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. Preceded in death by Grandfather H. W. (Nick) Lindquist, Ogden. Things we will miss most about Brooke: her smile, her laugh, her big brown eyes, her sensitivity and intuition, her style, her creativity, her vocabulary, her near perfect memory, and her harmony when singing with her sisters. But most of all we will miss her companionship. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, November 7, 2008 at the Country Crossing 8th Ward (10860 So. 3200 W., South Jordan). A viewing will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, November 6, 2008 at Jenkins-Soffe South Valley, 1007 W. South Jordan Parkway (10600 So.) and one hour prior to the services on Friday at church. The family wishes to gives thanks to all who gave loving medical care to Brooke. We would appreciate donations made in honor of Brooke to “The Sharing Place” 1695 East 3300 South, Salt Lake City, UT, 84106.
