- Kathy Mabey Gardner, beloved wife, mother, daughter and sister, passed away unexpectedly at Minidoka Memorial Hospital, Oct. 15, 2003. Kathy was born Nov. 7, 1963, at Soda Springs, Idaho, the fourth and youngest child of Keith and Madaline Mabey. She was her daddy's "made to order" red-haired, blue-eyed, baby girl. She grew up in Bancroft, Idaho, and was well loved by her family and friends. Attending North Gem High School, Kathy was very involved. She participated in drill team, band and volleyball while attending four years of LDS seminary. She served in many high school offices including class president two years and was valedictorian for the class of 1982. Kathy continued her education, attending ISU for six years with an emphasis in business. Education was always important to her and she continued to take classes till the time of her death.
Kathy chose to marry Scot Gardner, May 17, 1985, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They have four beautiful children, Timathy (17), Morghan (14), Jonathon (12) and Sierra (9). They have made their home throughout Utah and Idaho, where Kathy was well known for being hardworking. She has been employed outside the home as a librarian, taught computer classes in grade school, worked as a substitute teacher and established a home grocery business. She and Scot have recently made their home in Rupert, where Kathy worked in management for SunStar Dairy in Rupert.
Kathy loved life and was obsessive about the things and people she enjoyed. She knew how to be a good friend and always befriended the lonely. Kathy was an active member of the LDS church, serving in many positions including Sunday school teacher and working with the cub scouts. Kathy enjoyed and made time for arts, crafts and ceramics. She even learned to spin her own wool. It was also very important for her to pass on the passion she had for horsemanship and animal husbandry to her children. With all Kathy's work and activities, her first priority was always her role as a wife and mother.
Kathy was preceded in death by her father, Keith B. Mabey, and a brother, William Mabey.
She is survived by her husband, Scot Gardner; her children, Timathy K., Morghan R., Jonathon L. and Sierra B. Gardner; her mother, Madaline Mabey; two brothers, Christopher and Danny Mabey; her sister, Rose Nan, along with many aunts, uncles and cousins. All will miss her.
