Kathleen Ann Clayton

Our cherished grandmother, mother, sister and friend Kathleen Ann Clayton “Kathy” passed away peacefully in Cottonwood Heights in the comfort of her home surrounded by family on April 12, 2024 at the age of 65 after losing her battle to cancer.

Kathy was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota to her parents Lester and Rose Lentz. Kathy moved a couple times, but her final destination was Salt Lake City. Kathy had worked for the phone company for more than 35 years but retired in 2022. Kathy spent most of her days with her grandkids. If she wasn’t with them, she was with friends, traveling or taking her Razor out on some amazing adventures. In her own words, she was crazy blessed. Kathy was one of the wisest and kindest people in the entire world and she always had the best advice.

She is leaving behind her heartbroken family, which includes her daughter Nicholle Clayton; her grandkids Allissa Nipper, Anthony Nipper, Madyson Wilson, Mykenzye Wilson; her siblings Tim, Tom, Steve and Michaelyn Lentz; as well as her chosen family Jeremy Nipper and Jesse Nipper.

A funeral Mass was celebrated on April 23, 2024 at St. Thomas More Catholic Church, Cottonwood Heights. Kathy was laid to rest on April 25, 2024 at Larkin Sunset Gardens, Sandy.
