LaRae Bevan Barthelow

LaRae Bevan Barthelow, our dear friend, wife, mother and sister sweetly passed away following a hard-fought battle with heart failure.

LaRae was born in Tooele, Utah to James and Lucille Bevan and spent her youth creating a legacy of mischief, fun, and expert tractor-driving skills on their farm and dairy.

She married Allen L. Barbieri in 1956 and had four children: Allen-Cary, Tamera, Jeff and Anna. As a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, LaRae loved serving in nearly every organization including Young Women's which was her favorite. Her kind and accepting personality touched many young girls as did her sense of fun and adventure. In 1989 she married Tom Barthelow who gave her nineteen wonderful years as her best friend and companion. Together they loved being surrounded by family and friends. LaRae filled their home with love and greeted everyone with a big smile and cookies or banana bread.

LaRae will be missed by her husband, children, grandchildren and her devoted sisters, Maurine Bevan Lee and Sharron Bevan Perkins. Her bright spirit, loyal friendship, strong will and love of a good "get together" will be forever be remembered.

She was preceded in death by her parents, sister, Janice Bevan Wall and brother, James (Jimmy) Richard Bevan.

A viewing will be held Sunday February 3rd from 5-7 p.m. and Monday 9:30-10:30 at her ward chapel on 495 East 5600 South, Murray, Utah. Funeral services will be held Monday morning, 11:00 at the same chapel. Interment: Murray City Cemetery.
