About Hazel Kaye Cameron Owens
Our beloved Hazel Kaye Owens passed away in Heber City, Utah, on December 16, 2025, at the age of 83. She was lovingly cared for in her final years by her daughter, Stephanie Cloward, and her family.
Kaye was born April 5, 1942, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Clarence and Hazel Riggs Cameron. She graduated from Panguitch High School in 1960. She married her eternal sweetheart, David LaGene Owens, in the St. George Temple on February 11, 1961.
Kaye was full of energy and hilarious! She was intelligent, talented, and a hard worker. Over the years, she became the “best friend” of many. Her grandkids and great-grandkids adored her, along with her many nieces and nephews. All their friends called her “Aunt Kaye.” She loved that! She made everyone feel special, because she loved “so big.”
Kaye was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Kaye had a firm testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and willingly fulfilled her many callings. She lovingly served as a ministering sister for over fifty years. She also spent many years serving in the temple. Her favorite thing was helping the nervous brides. Additionally, she spent a great deal of time in a personal ministry serving those she saw in need.
Kaye loved her roles as wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, and spending time with all those she loved. Whenever you drink a Diet Coke or eat a pack of Peanut M & Ms, think of her with fondness. She was a remarkable human being.
Kaye was preceded in death by her husband, David LaGene Owens; two sons, David Troy Owens and Shaun Cameron Owens; and her parents, Clarence and Hazel Cameron. She will be greatly missed by her daughter, Stephanie Cloward (Russell); two sisters, Nancy Walsh and Arlene Bunker (Randy), eleven grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren.
