Clarissa Packer

Clarissa Packer, ten year old daughter of Jed and Kristen Packer, passed away at her home on Friday, May 23, 2008, after her courageous battle with cancer. She was born December 16, 1997, in Logan, Utah. Clarissa was a beautiful, happy, compassionate and determined child. She loved being outside, playing with her dogs, helping her dad in the garden, and playing soccer. Clarissa loved chocolate ice cream, hot waffles, mashed potatoes and playing games with her family. Her family were her best friends.
Clarissa attended Providence Elementary and loved all of her teachers and classmates. She was a member of the L.D.S. Providence 12th Ward. Clarissa was a very spiritual young lady. She loved Primary, her teachers and friends. The Primary songs brought her comfort and joy throughout the last few months.
We express deepest appreciation to Dr. Meeker, Dr. Thompson and the Radiation Therapy Staff, Primary Children's Medical Center, The Make A Wish Foundation, Associated Foods, Macey's and the Gardener's Market. The community has been wonderful and generous in providing fundraisers and support. We extend our heart felt thanks to our family and friends for their love and compassion.
Clarissa is survived by her parents, Jed and Kristen Packer, her sisters, Chalyce and Jocelyn, and her younger brother, Carson, her grandparents, Bryce and Valoy Packer and Darrel and Karla Gibbons, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. She will be missed by all who knew her.
