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.
Services will be held Saturday, January 3 in the Panguitch 2nd Ward, 178 N. 400 E., at 11:00 am. Family and friends may call one hour prior to the service from 10:00 am to 11:00 am. Interment will be at the Panguitch City Cemetery immediately following. There will be a link provided for the funeral service in Panguitch.

Kaye, you were such a wonderful friend and co-worker. I’m so grateful for the many years working with you. I’m going to miss the times we talked on the phone and the conversations and updates we shared about my kids and grandkids. You shared your kids and grandkids with me and how much they were growing and changing. The heavens received a truly great angel and what a reunion you had with ALL those who went before you. You will be missed dear friend but the years together were beautiful! Love, Debbie

My mother and Kaye’s mother, daughters of Grandpa & Grandma Riggs, were best of friends and kaye was as my little sister; I loved her as such. As Gene and Kaye, and all the foregoing, now work with the Lord to unite the Gene and Kaye family eternally, I pray for a most successful outcome, which they most certainly deserve.
With love and respect,

Aunt Kaye is very fondly remembered by my children, as well as Calvin and I. She always made us laugh. We was a great cook and present giver. I will miss out phone conversations and good humor.

When we were kids I loved times with my cousins, Kaye, Nancy, and Arlene when we visited Utah. Kaye was 4 months older than me, my closest cousin in age. My Aunt Hazel and Uncle Clarence always kept us busy doing something. In later years my cousin Tamra kept me up to date on how Kaye was doing, and her sisters and all the other cousins I rarely see. Distance and time doesn’t make me love them less. Peace and love to her family.

I grew up with her sons, Troy and Shaun, so Sister Owens was one of the many 2nd moms I had in the neighborhood. I loved her then and never stopped. I’ve never met anyone kinder and more patient than Sister Kaye Owens. She is a true saint and elect lady. I haven’t seen her a lot as an adult but I visited with her for the last time a few months ago at Boca Tacqueria in NE Mesa. She was as kind and sweet as ever. Stephanie, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
