Patricia Jepperson

After spending a wonderful Christmas with her family, Patricia Dawn Jepperson passed away quietly in her home on December 29, 2025, at the age of 58. She had a full life of being a wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and a friend to many who were shaped by her kindness.

Trish shared this life with her husband, Kevin Jepperson. They met as teenagers when her family moved in across the street from his home and they began dating. Their bond grew quickly, and they were married shortly thereafter. They were married 30 years until Kevin’s passing on February 24, 2012. Their marriage was marked by an unwavering commitment to family.

She is survived by her five children: Daniel; Todd and his wife Sienna; Randy and his wife Joelle; Crystal and her husband James; and Tyler. She was a proud and loving grandmother to 13 grandchildren, each of whom she adored deeply.

From a young age, Trish naturally stepped into the role of caregiver, which is a role that would define her entire life. That care extended from her siblings to her own children and to anyone in need of help, comfort, or compassion. Trish was one of seven siblings: Jaqueline, Donnie, Mark, Jimmy, Donna, and Bobby. Jaqueline, Donnie, Mark, and Donna preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her mother, Norma.

When her children were very young, Trish devoted every moment of her life to raising them. As they grew older, she worked occasional jobs and explored a variety of creative hobbies. She especially loved spending time outdoors and treasured camping trips, particularly at her and Kevin’s favorite spot in Provo Canyon. Above all, she valued time spent with the people she loved.

Some of her other most meaningful outdoor experiences were an extended road trip along the western coast of the United States, a cruise to the Bahamas, a trip to Washington with one of her oldest friends, and a summer trip to Florida.

In her final weeks, Trish was concerned about her health, but her greatest wish was to spend Christmas with her family. That wish reflects where her heart always was. She will be remembered for her selflessness, quiet strength, and unwavering devotion to those she loved. Her legacy lives on through her children, her grandchildren, and all who were fortunate enough to know her.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 am on Thursday, January 15th in The Church of Jesus Christ Chapel, 332 East 500 North, Pleasant Grove, Utah 84062.
