Obituary: Fawn Hirst Peet

Fawn Hirst Peet Lehi, Utah Our beloved Fawn Hirst Peet passed away peacefully on November 15, 2005 in Lehi, Utah. Fawn was born on January 16, 1925 in Provo, Utah to Fredrick William and Bjarnveig Christena Bjarnson Hirst. Fawn was the youngest in her family and had four brothers and one sister who died at a young age. Her first home was in Provo, Utah where she lived for a few years until her father decided that family farming was the best chance of surviving the Great Depression so they moved to a farm in Orem. She and her family lived on this farm for the rest of her childhood growing fruit and vegetables and raising chickens, pigs, and cattle. She and her brothers enjoyed working on the farm and playing baseball and other games together. She loved swimming in a nearby canal in the summer and sleigh riding in the winter. She married her sweetheart Don Loveridge Peet Feb. 8, 1947. They started their home in Lehi. She and Don were married for 58 years and lived in the same home for 55 years. Fawn and Don started their family in 1953 and now have four sons, three daughters (in-law and in-heart), 12 grandchildren (with three spouses), and six great-grandchildren. Her passion in life was always her family and friends. Fawn was the manager of the Community Education program in Lehi, and worked at Dr. Larsen's office in Lehi for many years. She served in a number of positions in the Church. She was skilled at sewing and loved to do arts and crafts with her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed many years of traveling with her husband, summer vacations, and camping and fishing trips with her children. Fawn's family loves her and will miss her. She has shown us how to be dedicated, compassionate, and have a zest for life.
