This memorial website was created in memory of our mother and grandmother, LaRae Horne Wimmer, 69, born on July 6, 1944. She was married to her college sweetheart Lamon Wimmer for 50 years, and was the loving mother to 5 children - Brad, Kristi, Doug, Martin, and Todd - and 5 grandchildren - Martin, Roxie, Zoey, Hudson, and Bennett. She passed away in her sleep on April 8, 2014 after a 9 month long battle with cancer. We will love her and miss her forever.

Hi Mom. So today marks one year since you were taken from us, and I have missed you everyday since then. When I think about you, I don't think about those last weeks when you were so very sick and so frail. I think about your funny sense of humor, your hearty laugh, and your round "Barlow Belly" (which I have apparently inherited - thanks). I miss our long phone conversations and I can't bring myself to delete the last voicemails you left me on my phone because its the only way I can hear your voice.Your kids miss you and your grandkids miss you too. Dad is doing ok, but he definitely misses you a lot. The grandkids have changed so much in the last year, but I assume you know that since you are all watching over us. Here's to hoping each year without you hurts less and less. I love you Mom. Kristi

Merry Christmas Mom. We missed you so much these holidays. Not having you there for the annual thanksgiving picture was really hard, but we took the picture anyways because it was the right thing to do. You were so sick last Christmas, but at least you were still here. This year it was just empty because you weren't with us. Dad still can't hardly talk about you without tears welling up or his voice cracking. He misses you so much. The grand kids miss you too, and Bennett and Hudson have gotten so big, even though Bennett now looks older cause he's taller and has a ton of long golden hair. It makes me so sad that they didn't get to know you and what an amazing grandma you were. I know it will get easier as time goes by, but I just miss you so much and wish I could talk to you about my life and your life. I love you mom. It's not the same without you.

I keep hearing the song you always sang to me as a kid, "Alice, where are you going. . Upstairs. . To take a bath" A pretty simple song that brings a smile to my face because it reminds me of you. It dawned on me today- maybe I am hearing it lately because you have been hanging around my mom and I. Difficult times now but the memory of you brings me a sense of bravery, faith, and hope. You faced so many difficult challenges with such courage and kept your sweet smile and sense of humor through it all. Thanks for the life you lived and the courage I have gained from your example. Love and miss you ♡

I only met LaRae once at her house with my niece and son and daughter in law for dinner . I was out visiting from MN . She was so nice and gracious to me . I thought Heidi was so lucky to be in such a family .

I love and miss you so much. As our Birthday is getting closer I think of you more. I want you to be happy & get along without your family, they miss you and I cry when I think of what you're missing by not being there while your grandchildren are growing up, getting married and having families. I know that we'll be together again and the Lord has something really special that he wants you to do but I love you and will always miss you. You're so awesome and the best sister anyone could ever want. Hang in there, we'll catch you someday soon, you've just moved on before us. Until later, Julie Anne

This photo was taken at my son's (Justen Karl Jensen) wedding on December 19th, 2009 in Tucson AZ. LaRae, husband Lamon and their son Tod came down to celebrate with us.
Julie is LaRae's sister & my mother. LaRae was born on Julie's 2nd birthday so every year we celebrate LaRae's birthday along with my mom's.
We will always remember you, Aunt LaRae. You became more than an aunt to me, you were my impromptu mom whenever I needed you. You are loved and missed so very much.
June Wedding Party

June, 1994 wedding in Salt Lake Temple of Matthew and Stephanie Crook. This setting is the outdoor reception that afternoon at a Stake Center in Holladay, UT.

This picture was taken June, 1994 at the wedding reception of our (Garry and Karlene Crook) son Matthew and Stephanie. The beautiful outdoor setting was a Stake Center in Holladay,UT, with a dance floor and a live dance band. Of course there was lots of good food and decorations and a professional photographer who managed to take lots of good pictures to remind us of this happy day. LaRae, Julie Anne and Karlene were always happy to be together, and even better on this occasion was the chance to visit with cousins and friends that we don't get to see on a regular basis. In this picture L to R: Julie Anne Horne Taylor from Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico; Karlene Horne Crook, from Afton, WY and LaRae Wimmer from Mesa AZ. Sisters and Forever Friends. The distances that we lived from each other made our visits even more precious, but we did manage to see each other at least once a year. We are missing our little sister LaRae, but know that we will be with her again someday. In the meantime, we continue to love and remember LaRae and her family. All happy memories!
