Kaye Evans Foss, 86, passed away 23 August 2023.
Kaye was born 12 March 1937 in Downey, Idaho to Carl R. Evans and Florence T. Evans. She received her early education in Downey and in Tooele, Utah, and she followed her parents into a career as a teacher. Having graduated from the University of Utah, she married Carter Foss on 23 August 1959. They made their home in Salt Lake City, welcoming their daughter Catherine Anne on 25 January 1964.
Kaye was an artist, a musician, and a scholar. She wrote beautifully and enjoyed classical music, opera, reading, and making jewelry. Unique and always generous in spirit, Kaye influenced many cherished friends and family members.
Kaye is survived by her husband Carter Foss, her son-in-law Michael Noakes of Seattle, Washington, her brother-in-law Ned J. Stephens of Ogden, Utah and many beloved nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her daughter Catherine and by her siblings Sheila E. Stephens and Jan B. Evans.
One of my most favorite cousins Kay was such a hoot. I loved our get togethers at the Downey house with rest of the family. Her sense of humor was more than a little twisted. Haaa I’m going to miss her. Carter my thoughts are with you. Blessings
The Evans family was so special and near and dear to my family, as my mother, Anna Taylor Stewart, grew up with Carl and Flossie in beautiful Downey, Idaho. As I was growing up I spent many a delightful hour with the family at their home in Tooele, Utah and the Cherry Creek ranch. I idolized Kaye and Sheila and Jan. I so wanted to grow up to be just like them, especially Kaye and her wonderful artistic ability. Several days ago I took a trip down memory lane and thought of all the fun, fun, fun times I had with this wonderful family, not knowing at the time that beautiful Kaye had passed away. To all of you who survive, I wish you peace as you mourn. I would pray that you can remember all the good times and be grateful to be part of such a marvelous family.
