Lynsi Elizabeth Wade

Lynsi Wade was born on May 24th, 1974, in Murray, Utah, to Clark Harper and Lynda Mower.  She passed away after a life filled with love, service, and numerous talents on September 30th, 2025. She was united in marriage with Shane Wade on September 4th, 1999, in Millcreek Canyon, Utah, and later sealed in the Manti Temple on May 28th, 2005.  Lynsi and Shane’s relationship was one of deep focused love for one another, respect, and fun.  They enjoyed spending time outdoors in the mountains camping, hiking, mountain biking together, traveling in “Missy Mo-Ho Motorhome”, and just laughing together as a family.  They supported one another in every aspect of their lives and had a bond that was indescribable.  Their marriage was truly one of the greatest things to watch.  Shane absolutely adored her by putting her on the highest pedestal and ensuring she was his number one priority.

A graduate of Brighton High School, Lynsi earned an Associate's Degree in Business Management. Her professional life was diverse, including roles as an administrative assistant at Snow College, a billing agent at the Moran Eye Center, and a dorm parent at Wasatch Academy.  She also created and managed the physical fitness classes for all elementary schools throughout North Sanpete School District where she was loved by all of her students.  She worked part time at the Great Basin drive-in here in Mt. Pleasant where she grilled hamburgers and ran the register.  She also owned her own Spinning class business, was a Doterra representative, and a very talented craft maker, creating blankets and bears that she sold at craft shows. She also worked at a nursery in Springville, Utah where she learned her love for flowers and horticulture early in her marriage.  She helped her husband flip numerous homes throughout Central Utah sacrificing so much to give her children more opportunities.  She coordinated the SMART Defense class at Snow College with Utah Celebrity Elizabeth Smart, to facilitate a safer campus for both students and staff.  She loved the people she worked around and made working fun and light.  She was the hardest worker oftentimes working from home when she didn’t need to, making sure everything was perfect.  Her loyalty to people was something to witness, no matter what their role was.

Lynsi was a woman of extraordinary talents and passions. She was a black belt silver medalist in Karate at the Summer Olympics when she was 16.  She also excelled as a horticulturist, flower grower, home and work decorator, dancer, cook, hostess, cyclist, mountain biker, and water skier.  She was a fantastic, powerful athlete that gave 100% effort in everything she did.   She was so talented at decorating anything she touched.  Everyone would say “It just has Lynsi’s touch”.  She really had a special talent of making people feel important, special, and worthwhile.  She focused on seeing people for who they truly were and their full potential.

She found joy in her flower and vegetable gardens, camping, UTV/ATV riding, mountain biking, hiking, yoga, exercising, softball, pickleball, and snowboarding. She also enjoyed reading self-improvement books and finding inspiration for decoration, flower bouquet making, cooking, and being the ultimate hostess.  She was always striving to improve herself physically, mentally, and spiritually in order to live life to the fullest.  An avid animal lover, Lynsi would have rescued every animal on earth if she could. She volunteered numerous times at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary near Kanab with her daughter Mattea.  She had numerous pets and treated animals like they were human beings.  She always said “you can tell how good a person is by the way they treat animals”.

Lynsi was a devoted loving mother to her four children: Avery, Mattea Elsen (Logan), Hiatt, and Ashton.  The most important thing in her life was her children and their happiness.  She nurtured like no one else.  Halloween costumes, lemonade stands, staying up with sick kids, sport practices, coaching, school projects, dropping and picking them up from school, attending their events, school shopping, doctor’s appointments, cooking meals, PTA volunteer, Hawks Booster Club, the list goes on and on.  She was so proud of her children and made every effort to love, support, and nurture unconditionally. 

Lynsi was a truly selfless and giving individual, always seeking the good in everyone she met and making others feel valued. Her radiant smile and infectious laugh could light up any room. She cultivated a flower garden with the sole intention of brightening someone's day with a beautiful bouquet.  She would seek out people that needed upliftment by sometimes literally running down the road to hand a bouquet of flowers to them to try and make their day, or bringing fresh flower bouquets to work with her weekly and giving them to someone.  Her inviting presence made you feel so welcome and peaceful being around her that you didn’t want to leave her sight. 

She deeply loved and encouraged students at Snow College, supervising student workers on campus, and leaving a lasting impression on many who still speak of her positive influence to this day. She also served in the Stake Young Women’s Presidency where she served with devotion and selfless service, and the ward Young Women’s.

Lynsi lived in Sandy, Salt Lake City, Springville, and Mount Pleasant, Utah, leaving a legacy of kindness and joy in every community she touched.  She will be deeply missed by those who came in contact with her leaving a legacy that will live on in her family and the community she belonged to.  Her circle of influence rippled everywhere in the community, and her presence will continue to resonate everywhere she had influence.

Lynsi is preceded in death by her Sister Ashley Hancock, Grandparents Betty and Lawrence Mower, Rusty Michoff; Mother In-law Gloria Nielson; Cousins Donavon and Krista Mower.
