After graduation from nursing school, Kirsten’s professional career path would eventually take her to multiple hospitals where she was able to serve many lives. One of her most cherished places to work, which she frequently talked about, was Los Angeles Children’s Hospital in California. There she had the opportunity of working with many children that had just undergone open heart surgeries. She loved all children as if they were her own, it was evident to the parents of those precious souls she served. She volunteered for a medical mission to go to Peru, where she assisted with 12 open heart surgeries on children over the course of 3 days. She loved her work and life in California. Upon her return to Utah, she continued working in multiple hospitals, including Primary Children’s Hospital, the University of Utah Medical Center, Highland, and Davis County Hospital. Kirsten loved her career as a Nurse, but loved her patients more.
She was the “Favorite” Aunt and loved her Nieces and Nephews, always making them feel special with birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, and her time. It was evident that she had a love for all children and especially had a love for her nieces and nephews.
She always looked forward to family get togethers and the annual family camping trip to the Greys River, where she tried to out fish her dad and brother (Bryan) every year. Always making it the perfect trip by thinking about the little things. After the passing of her mother, she continued to shoulder the responsibility of planning those trips to make sure we all got together as a family.
