Jenny Gaisford Obituary (1991 - 2024)

Jenny Dee Gaisford of Orem, UT, age 33, passed away on July 31, 2024. Jenny was born February 28, 1991 to Steven and Kim Gaisford and grew up in Lehi. She had little fear when she was little. One time, when she was pretty little 3 or 4 maybe, she climbed the ladder and got on the roof at her grandparents’ house. Climbed over a gap that would have been pretty big for even an adult to manage. Walked right over to the edge, leaned over, and told Papa Dan ‘Hello’. If you knew Dan… you can imagine. Whatever he was doing went flying in the air as he scrambled up to get her down. I also remember her fibbing and telling several people that she could ride horses. Several of those times didn’t quite go too well… and she either ended up hurt or had the horse take off with her still riding. I suppose riding ponies at birthday parties didn’t quite give her the skills she needed in order to actually ride a horse by herself. She always had a great love of birds. She grew up with parakeets and cockatiels. Even raised baby cockatiels sometimes. Two of them- Mango and Rico- brought her many years of happiness. Jenny is preceded in death by her mother, Kim Nielsen Gaisford, and all her grandparents. Survived by her father Steven (Laurie) Gaisford of Lehi and brother. May your heart and mind finally be at peace Jen Jen. Jenny was cremated and has requested that there be no services. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.olpinmortuary.com.
